When I read the reality show title "Real Tight Ends of Baltimore" I have to admit my first thought wasn't football.

I agree it will be difficult and here's another reason why - the owners have to agree to do away with them. I went the Detroit game last weekend. Paid for parking. Bought food and drinks along Ravens Walk. Bought another jersey inside for a family member. Four quarters of food and drinks. Getting rid of preseason gets rid of two home games where money gets spent. On the upside my son got a high five from Terrance West and a piece of used team equipment. Made his day. That's why we keep coming back.

Anybody have any knowledge or guesses about the injury for Maxx? "Undisclosed" tells me its something they don't want opposing teams to know about - knee, ankle, ribs, etc.

He had problems tackling. That's a liability as a SS and a real liability for a special teams player. Good luck Elam.

It was a bad year for Boldin with 789 receiving yards and 4TDs. You forget to mention that led the team. He was the #1 receiver even with Torrey Smith on the team. Gabbert and Kaepernick throwing to him. It is worth considering. Q has fight and fire in the belly. I wonder how he and SSS would blend, however.

Listening to that press conference I really hope Reynolds makes the team and becomes a solid contributor. If I were Ravens PR I'd have him in front of the camera all the time.

Yet another reason not making the playoffs suck. Here we are speculating about free agents and draft picks when the season isn't even over. We'll have months and months to speculate and rarely does any of it come to fruition. Take this column and tell us what coaches and players are doing now. Tell us about their off season plans. Tell us what's going on at the UA performance center - who is working out, etc. Start the speculation when we're closer to the draft or start of FA.

I get bored with all the draft speculation before the draft. Please don't start now, it's just too soon.

I genuinely believe they are not blaming each other. This is a pretty close leadership group. About Florida, they do that every year. They get together and develop their off season strategy. They prioritize contracts and work out contigency plans. Its done with all of them. That's what makes them great. They succeed or fail together.

On defense go through that list. Suggs is really it. We want to blame injuries but the defense was largely intact. Sadly in a lost season overshadowed by offensive injuries Pees will escape any blame.

"my gut tells me he wouldn't be all that good" So subtle I don't know if it was intentional or not. His gut tells me he wouldn't be all that good.

Go back to the day before training camp opened. What would you think if anyone told you who the starters would be in Week 14? Its been a tough season.

" we're just trying some guys out there to see if we can get the best guys on the field and make plays." Don't like this quote. It sounds like the defense doesn't have a plan, they are just trying anything. No wonder they have no discipline. Pees needs a new job.

You've posted this on multiple stories so I think you are not really a fan. Are you really willing to throw away a 84-51 career record with multiple playoff wins over a bad half season? Some perspective helps...unless you are not really a fan.
