Ozzie- Hire me as a corner back- I haven't played in 26 years, and I haven't run in 13 years, but I know I can't be worse than Webb, Melvin and Levine- I'll play for nfl minimum salary. In fact, I love the team so much, I'll play for free. If you're not interested, please don't remember this position come draft time. While I know you don't like to use a 1st or 2nd round draft pick for corners (besides Jimmy Smith, and he became okay- not shutdown though), I think you should reconsider next year. I thought you'd do it for this year's draft, but I guess you forgot about this position again. Anyhow, if you are interested, please call me 800- crnr- now

When Kraft called Harbs a "sweetheart," he's basically saying Harbs is a female dog. That's messed up. Hopefully, Harbs will uncover another Pats scandal. We miss you, Torrey. The players and front office said you represented the Ravens well and that you played like a Raven, but when it came down to it, we didn't treat you like a Raven. Now you're stuck with a QB who is just as bad as RG3. At least you have nicer weather out there and have a team that truly appreciates you.

What the Bengals Said After the Win: "We own the Ravens, and this is nothing new." We should be able to win the next against Vick and the Squeelers. If not, then we're definitely done for the season for sure.

My Five Thoughts: 1) The secondary continues to stink- since last year as well- we did nothing to address the secondary in the off season 2) We don't need rushing play maker- we need wide receiver play makers. Aiken, Campanero, and Brown would not be first stringers on any team besides the Baltimore Ravens- we miss you Torrey and Jacoby 3) This was a must win game- with all the marbles on this game, we ended up losing at home- we will not make the playoffs, nor do we deserve to make the playoffs 4) We are missing leadership, heart from this team. There is no passion on this team. 5) Flacco said it best, "we're not good enough to be good in crunch time." Remember Jacoby (against Denver) and Torrey (against the Pats)? They'd always be good in crunch time. We can't expect Perriman to be our savior either- he hasn't proven anything, and with Ozzie's drafting of WRs, we know he usually can't pick them well.

Also, I guess the front office thought that our receivers were going to be good enough due to the way they played during the off season. I think we have to remember that they were also going against our terrible corners. Like I said last year, Webb isn't the same corner he was a year ago, and Jimmy Smith can't play a full season healthy. He's not a shut down corner as we all know (maybe everyone knows except for Ozzie), but he's a good corner back. It's kind of scary to think that we only have one good corner on this team. Why did we let Corey Graham go too? I think we're also missing the leadership of Torrey Smith as well (he was one of us, but we let him go), and he truly opened up other opportunities for others with his speed. Plus, Jacoby would run a couple of kicks back every season, and we don't have an answer at punt returner. Do we really want Steve Smith, our best receiver, fielding punts? If he gets hurt, then or offense really shuts down big time. It's going to be a long year fellas..

Just like I said, we're 0-3. Why? Like I said again, Ozzie didn't properly address the secondary again this year, when everyone knew it was a problem last year. Additionally, he let Torrey Smith and Jacoby both walk- at least they stretched the field. Do you really believe other teams are afraid of Campanero and Aiken? SSS had a great day, but as he did last year, he will fade toward the end of this year. I think some blame also has to go to Ozzie for not properly addressing these skilled positions. At least, I think we can win next week with Big Ben out- thank, God. But our season is still over- I'm sick of Pees prevent defense at the end of games- and I'm also kind of sick of Harbs making excuses or yelling at Refs- he looks desperate.. Thanks, Oz, for doing nothing. This will be a down year for sure, but at least we'll get a higher draft pick next year. I just hope that Ozzie doesn't waste it on another safety (terrence brooks and matt elam, for real Ozzie?) or another middle of the road 'Bama player from his alma mater.

Perriman isn't Torrey Smith... Maybe Jacoby but not Torrey.... Torrey was always clutch when we needed him to be, so let's not brand Perriman as the band-aid, immediate solutions...

To Ozzie's credit, he or someone from his team found Melvin- he's decent 'when' healthy- he till overtake Ladarius Webb's position, as Webb is clearly a liability now..

Tucker was a great find by Jerry Rosburg (sp?), the special teams coach. I hope Ozzie doesn't try to cheap out with him or Marshall Yanda at the end of the year, like they did with Torrey Smith. Without Torrey and Jacoby, who he also let go, no defense fears our offense and there's no one to take the top off. Not only do we have good corners last year and this year, but now we don't have good WRs this year either- terrible mistake to let both go. Perriman is a band-aid solution, and he' is like a band-aid bc he can't get on the field. Our Special Teams would've been better with Jacoby as well, and he wasn't that expensive to keep. Terrible decisions and really why we're 0-2 right now and because we will not be making the playoffs this year, unfortunately

Bye, bye Ladarius

I'm sorry, but we don't have the receivers, corners to go make it to the playoffs. We had a clutch performer in Torrey, so don't expect Perriman to turn things around quickly when/ if he ever gets on the field. Webb will get cut at the end of this year unless Oz gave him a favorite player contract.

I'm glad the team isn't going away for two weeks again, and I know the team is glad too. Traveling drains you, and then when your employer takes time out of your personal life to focus on work on their free time, while being away from their family, friends, and even pets, it just creates resentment from the players to the coaches/ team. It's happened to me on company business trips- I'm glad Harbs/ Ravens accepted responsibility by realizing their mistake.

Harbs also recently said that he believes the Bengals have the "most talented team in the league." I hope Ozzie doesn't take that comment personally. I'm sure it's Harb's psychic games because if the Ravens beat Cincy, then they beat the most talented team in the league and can beat anyone else this year- also, it might justify why we've recently lost more games to them http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/23/john-harbaugh-declares-bengals-the-best-team-in-the-nfl/

This next game will determine whether the Ravens have the heart to turn the season around, or not...If we win, we're in it for the long haul. If we lose, we'll be done for the season. Just how I feel. Regardless of what people aren't saying, this is a MUST WIN game.

Here's to 1-2 after Sunday.. Although I do feel that the Bungals will be very physical with our offense, particularly our WRs...

Torrey/ Jacoby- We miss you. Corey Graham- We miss you too. Melvin is better than Webb- hopefully, we'll turn things around, but I still think we lose against the Bungals because they are always physical with us. Sad to say, with all due respect to the Man, Steve Smith, but it is sad that our #1 WR is 36 years old- I don't know what Oz was thinking...

Ozzie is great at drafting linebackers from Alabama and drafting great lineman. However, he's never been great at picking up good corners/ safeties after Ed Reed - he rarely ever uses a second rd pick or better for these positions (except for Torrey). This pretty much sums it up: Ozzie = Matt Elam

Superbowl? Superbowl? We aint even going to be a Wild Card Team this year! LOL- Thanks, Ozzie, for addressing the secondary and for keeping our prolific, speedy receivers (Torrey and Jacoby) for a rent a rookie receiver who can't even get on the field...

Torrey Smith was at least clutch when we needed it the most (e.g. against patriots and steelers). No offense but Steve Smith dropped two game winning touchdowns in the last two games... Ozzie- Now do you regret not paying Torrey Smith?

What we missed vs raiders- the secondary and defense....

It's not Pees fault, it's Ozzie's fault for not upgrading the cornerback position this year when everyone knew it was a huge problem last year. Look at the Jets, they have great corner and an avg qb, yet they keep winning. Ozzie never wants to invest that much money into CBs or WRs, skilled positions because he thinks he can rent older ones (e.g. Boldin, Smith, etc..)..

Ozzie should Come Down Hard on Ozzie for giving him a crappy secondary for the second straight year!

a 36 year old receiver with no name WRs, forget the playoffs...This is the Torrey Smith curse at its best. We could've used his leadership at a time like this- we will be 0-3 after next week unfortunately- the Bengals are for real even if it's at home.

Flacco can't be elite unless he has good receivers to throw to...

I blame the secondary (cornerback position) squarely on Ozzie. We knew it was an issue last year, and it's still an issue this year. Ladarius is a good dude, but why does Ozzie fall in love with him and let someone like Torrey Smith or Jacoby Jones (we also need a returner) go??? It doesn't make sense to me, Ozzie. I predicted we wouldn't make the playoffs this year because this team doesn't have any chemistry and skilled playmakers- I doubt this will change when Perriman gets off his butt and finally plays. Flacco isn't a top tier qb who can will his team to win games based upon his own abilities- why do we have a wr rotation every year, and I thought it was bad that we only had one true veteran (Steve Smith) on the team to mentor the younger receivers- this is also something that Ozzie probably didn't think about either. He will never spend money on good receivers, even if they're our own- history has proven this. Also, I have a feeling that both Yanda and Osmele will both be out of here at the end of the year because Ozzie will try to lowball them both as well- mark my words...
