People give Schaub way too much beef. Is he great? no, but he's easily a top tier backup and I am way more comfortable with him coming in if Flacco were to get injured (knock on wood) than whoever else we have (I think the next two on the roster are Renner and Lovelocke...).
I really miss those Ed Reed laterals, always so fun to watch unselfish football. Seems like no secondary plays like that anymore.
I think it's pretty telling about our fanbase that we would rather rant and rave endlessly about the Patriots, but hardly talk at all about Trestman and the offensive coaching hires. Why do we complain about another team instead of actually talking about our own team?
Has anyone wondered that our receivers coach could just be the issue of our receivers struggling? Please Steve, pay some money and get us a better WR coach.
I'm officially done with Profootball Talk. In their article about Ray getting a statute, and I quote.. "Knocking a woman out concisous gets you a standing ovation. If you want a statue you have to obstruct justice in a murder".
OMG all these tweets comparing Josh Gordons punishment to Ray Rices. SMH if only people knew.
Just saw a commenter at PFT say both that captain munnerlyn was the best defensive FA this year and the top 5 nfl OTs are: 1. Matt Khalil 2. Phil Loadholt, 3. Joe Thomas, 4. Tyron Smith, and last but definietly least: 5. Antonio Richardson
Seriously? Is everyone going to keep posting about Trawick's hit on Jacoby? Wow, one hit really does screw up your life. I don't know anything about the kid apart from the fact that he has multiple pages of comments worth of hitting Jacoby Jones in 80% of the comments.
I was one of those people when it happened too, especially when I had just been lamenting the release of Bobby Rainey since we didn't have a viable backup returner behind Jacoby while Deonte and Asa were out. It's well in the past and most are actually over it but its unfortunately a stigma he will carry with him until he does something more notable. Hopefully he can accomplish that this year.
Congratulations to Torrey Smith on becoming the first Ravens receiver to reach 1,000 yards since Derrick Mason in 2009!
Not gonna be a total downer here like PolishRifle but my drunken mind can't help but agree. Maybe if ourn offense hadn't come up short every drive (not blaming Torrey here at all just the offense in general) we wouldn't have had to rely on an insane Tucker FG to win the game. Not gonna cut it against the Pats and the Bengals...
Bengals lost last night and all looks to be falling in place for the Ravens if they can handle their business. Feeling positive about the chances for a "W" tonight. I think I'll ride with the 5 jersey for good luck. Let's go Ravens!!!
Ravens-Patriots flexed OUT of Sunday Night Football? There is no other game worth being played on SNF. Guess the possibility of another manure chant scared NBC away.
Great win, but I hope Ravens don't end up paying Torrey #1 receiver money! He is a great, if not the best #2 in the leauge, but no way a true #1!
If we miss the playoffs (most likely but I sure as hell hope not), do you think this will be a blessing in disguise for the team and especially Flacco? If he continues to struggle for the remainder of the year, hopefully he will use this year as a learning curve to become accurate and develop chemistry with our young receivers. As much as I can't stand Tom Brady (don't we all?), look at what he's doing with his receivers.....
Obviously some of the blame falls on Flacco, he certainly hasn't been at his best even when he has had time. But this offensive line is historically bad, even Brady's replacement linemen are doing their jobs in Foxborough. That said, hopefully its a learning situation for everyone who will actually be back next year...
