The Ravens are in salary cap purgatory. Pitta, Flacco, Suggs, Webb, Monroe... it goes on. And everyone want Osemele to be re-signed. Where will the money come for probowl receivers? Even one? Whether Flacco cuts the Ravens more slack or not, I just don't see it. Ravens will be looking a 2017 at least. Hope they draft well!

That is my point. jimmy got paid. Webby is not what he used to be. Hence, they need to play off so they don't get embarrassed. Can't totally blame coaching when your team is not as good as the competition.

Is the poor play because of the players not executing or the coaches or both? I seem to read either it's the player's fault or Pees. Why not somewhere in the middle and everyone needs to take some of the blame. But if it is Dean, how do we explain Sunday? Blind squirrels find acorns every now and then? That was a good offense.

Yes, Suggs was the only one. His loss cost Doom some production as well as overall cohesion. I was listening to the radio and someone who covers the Ravens has already gone on record as saying there may be a "fall guy" for the way things have gone. We will see.

Where was this line for the first 15 weeks?

So if Dean gets the blame when the defense doesn't execute, does he get credit when they do? Isn't it time to see the forest through the trees?

Any reason the vid didn't show any consequences to the tripping guy? Maybe a couple of police officers hauling him away in handcuffs?

This is a joke right?

Number 1: Preston is a buffoon who makes his money stirring the pot. If he was truly a journalist, he wouldn't have to resort to always being Negative Nancy. Number 2: The Ravens owe Flacco a boatload of money. If you think you are going to cut him, the cap hit will hurt more than keeping him without restructuring his contract. Number 3: Some people you just can't reach.

Switchgear breakers do have adjustable settings to account for surges in current.... Sort of a hierarchy to keep an order to account for excessive current loads. For example: if you have to breakers, one 400 amp breaker and one upstream is a 500 amp breaker, they are, load wise, too similar and may trip together, creating havoc. We had a very similar issue at the hospital where the electrical contractor did not follow their own contracted study and did not "set" the switchgear breakers correctly. Until the correct settings were in place, we had operating rooms and essential equipment affected by shorts in lighting circuits. So, it is "possible" he is telling the truth about his "hit in the gut" feeling. We may never know if it was because of a breaker setting or an order from above.

$102 Bone-In Ribeye... And I thought the Prime Rib was high dollar???

If he is hurt, shouldn't he be on the injury report? Trying too hard? Never heard of someone playing so poorly and "trying to hard". That leaves lack of confidence or you left off one; he got paid.

Only parts I agreed with.

Didn't Webb just restructure? As much as Ozzie doesn't want to kick the can down the road, salary wise, the Ravens are still dealing with cap hits. Suggs is owed. Webb is owed. Pitta is owed. Monroe is owed. And now Joe has to renegotiate, pushing his money down the road and possibly Osemele....

So you are possibly suggesting the Ravens had to pick the lesser of all the evils?

Crab Mallett is a good QB? Then why did the Pats release him? The Texans? They desparately need a quarterback and let him go. I have to question why the Ravens would go down this road. A warm body? Big arm? Sure hope Joe comes back 100%.... And on that note.... Where are all the Flacco bashers?

Patriots report that Rashaan Melvin has been waived. The same Melvin they were raving about weeks ago?

Ryan. You really aren't proving anything... "The Ravens faced some of the league%u2019s best offenses early in the first half of the year with the Bengals (No. 8), Steelers (No. 2), Cardinals (No. 1) and Chargers (No. 6). The Jaguars (No. 18), Rams (No. 31), Browns (No. 26) and Dolphins (No. 29) haven%u2019t posed as much of a threat." You go on about why they are playing better. Effort. Discipline. Dominating up front.... When in reality, the last four games have been against poor offenses and some even poorer QB's. Let us see after the next 4 weeks how the Ravens are playing better.

I am cynical enough but watching the officiating makes me think the refs at least, do their best to make the games come down the last play and at worst, have an agenda as to who wins. The NFL had a record number of teams still in the playoff hunt, are on pace for a record number of TD's and are on pace for a record number on one-score games. Yes, this is entertainment, not sport anymore.

Tucker Explains? "Pushed in right. Just like the last 5".

Monroe missed 4 games in 4 years in Jacksonville and now has four times that amount in 2 years with the Ravens. How do you define "Got Paid"?

....and how many dances are you going to do in Miami?

Let's be real. We all saw that this team had no depth as all the other teams in the Ravens' preseason games dominated. Everythng had to go right. Minimal injuries. Maximum out of the vets and a little luck from those football Gods wouldn't have hurt. Now is a good time to do some soul searching and find out who is in the plans: long term. I have no doubt the Ravens will be back fighting for a SB. When? Good question.

But please. Tell us how you really feel.

And what if Schaub plays well the next 6 games? What if the Ravens win a few more games? Then will some of you stop being negative Nancy?
