    I'm a creature of habit and there really is nothing I have to watch on TV since they cancelled Boston Legal and CSI:Miami, so I watch all the games as I'm complaining about TNF and how it sucks for the players and fans, so it makes me a tad bit of a hypocrite.  I lost  a season due to being critically ill and don't remember 2014 that well so from the illness in the Spring, so it's all precious to me.  My husband and I set a dollar amount after the first big raise and we are a dollar from it, so we have a decision make in the next year or two.  When 3 seats are half our primary age kids private school it's costly.

    Well, there's only one thing that 52 could refer to on a Ravens board. Google "redrum" and you'll find the reference to murder. 

    Being a native Marylander, Bay lover and amateur fisherman I thought maybe redrum52 may be the same(red drum). At some point it became apparent that was probably not the case, so I googled redrum and connected the dots. Just got curious, that's all. 

    I thought the same until Darklight, Grapple or Mod 3 pointed it out to me :(.

    Same Game 2008--

     

    Another "Fun" Thread October 2008:
    troy an flacco 
    i have sat here for a few minutes and thought of flacco vs troy and i came up with maybe the reasoun troy hasnt played like in college cause he didnt have a chance like flacco i know troy played last games of year but i mean tell the truth would you rather play the last few games or be the the number 1 qb to play all year i think we should play troy a few games and thats the realy way to decide who gets the job cause preseasoun and regular seasoun are diffrent and those that love flacco i just want to know why do you praise him and who says troy can be like mcnnab just some thoghts
    A response in this thread
    joe flacco is the starter untill they lose enough games where the coaching staff see's the season slipping away. Troy is 3rd string untill he gets back in the loop. my guess is that once troy makes it to 2nd string the lumbering giant(joe flacco) will be 1 of 3 things!! to beat up to play or just too stinky to play or playing like a star. Troy only signed a 1 YEAR deal this year(will be a free agent) and if he's not the starter on the ravens he will go somewhere else

    LETS GO RAVENS
    WE NEED TO RATTLE MANNING TODAY WITH AS MANY SACKS AS IT TAKES TO WIN

    ---—————-Same game another during the game thread

    Nice Deep Bomp Harrision Lets See A Few More


    dont you just love it when the colts do that i do and the ravens can go deep like that too not ok so the colts went deep to bad we cant if they can on our deffense shouldnt we take some down field on theirs oh now lets run get stuff then punt on 4th will win that way and while where doing that there going deep evrytime they get the ball we will win this way
     
    Another reply:——--

    that we $uck and is going to loss aigan cause we have no offense see you need offense to win too not just deffense i bet we dont even score a td this game watch unless we run cause no way on this earth were scoring a passing touchdown
    ------Another reply:

    ------OP's answer to the above
    oh stop trieng to change the subject the point of this thread is we $uck and is going to loss face it and dont change the subject

    This is why we close Ravens Talk during the game, the year this was from was 2008 and the team made it to the AFCCG, these are from an away game in Indy.

    Thread title: I told you so(2008)
    This is what you guys supported: 2 TDs 6 INT 30493824 fumbles

    The Wheels have fallen off.
    Well - we have finally hit that point 5 games in. The wheels have fallen off this bus. 

    We have NO offense.
    - Too many rookie mistakes by Flaco.
    - Willis is running bad this year - period. 14 rushing yards!
    -Our O-line no longer looks dominating - they are getting punched in the mouth & don;t seem to care.
    - Too many fumbles, picks, etc on offense.
    - Receivers can't get open to save there lives - why (the receivers themselves, receiving coaches, game plan - what is it?)
    -Only 3 1st downs in the half!

    Defense:
    -Only Ray Lewis is playing today!
    -C-mac looks sooooo bad!
    -They don't know how to tackle! (stop going for the BIG hit & try wrapping guys up)

    Special Teams:
    -The only positive is Sam Koch!
    -No Blocking
    -Figures sucks right now - he runs into guys & makes horrible decisions. We started the 1st half at the 14 yard line - terrible!!!

    Coaches:
    -What type of offense has Cameron put in here? This sucks!
    -Ryan obviously did not plan well for the Payton & the colt offense.
    -Rosburg - well I don;t have any idea if he even has special teams practicing. He has even messed Stover up by changing the way he wants him to kick.
    Harbs - needs to kick some people in the a$$ to make them actually play like they are pros. Right now this teams looks ridiculously sloppy. I have seen the o lone run into each other. DB's seem confused. Special team not even showing up. Time for Harb's to take a hold of players & coaches & get them to actually play!
    I guess we are what all the experts said we are - we just got 2 wins from bad teams. Probably time to not care about wins & loses - just enjoy football & any positives we might be able to get out of it. 

     

    Is This Real Game Or Am I In A Nightmare ( same game 2008)
    the topic says it all how can you win anything win have no offense at all every elit team has offense and deffense from the looks of this game we have niether

     So you guys wanted some 'dirt', I decided to sanitize some.  Anyone remember CBS and the Most Fierest Mascot contest?  I pulled the links because they don't work.  Poe beat the entire NFL and the funny thing is he was up against  Chief Z of Redskins fame, they had a "war room" on Extreme Skins and one guy wrote a script so every vote for Poe was 2 votes for Chief Z, but he did it backwards for every vote for Chief Z gave two votes for Poe.  CBS brushed  that mess under the carpet so fast it if you blinked you never knew there was a contest.
    Posted June 3, 2008 
    CBSSportsline.com is running a competition to determine the Most Fierce NFL Mascot. For some reason, Poe is the #16 seed in the AFC bracket. His first round opponent is Boltman (San Diego Chargers...Actually, Boltman is not technically affiliated with thebut  Chargers organization). Currently, Poe has just 33% of the vote, but there are not that many votes so the results could quickly swing with some help from a few Ravens fans.
    Here is the link to vote for Poe as the Most Fierce WOW! Can you guys believe CBS Sports has already started a new poll competition and POE is in it and tied for the lead...
    Please go now and check it out....

     

     

    I was in FL when the poo hit the fan on this one!  I sat up with my laptop half the night trying not to laugh too hard and wake my husband and kids  since this was pre-condo days and we were at the Hampton.

    This the real thread no links because it's archived in the mod forum.

    The cruise ship got my husband lol  I actually did the calculations from New York/NewJersey it would 5.5 days to South Hampton and 7.2 days from Baltimore to London at 25 knots, and that time of year the hurricanes are quite a risk instead of icebergs.

    Ordinary cruise ships travel at the speed of 21 to 24 knots per hour, but a high-speed cruise ship can go as fast as 30 knots or more. Most cruise ships are powered by diesel electric engines or gas turbines, and they have propellers that cut through the water to move them forward or backward. 

    Sea-distances.org is what I used  to do the calculations.

    Lombardi from RSR did one in horrible taste a couple years ago and it was being sourced well into the Fall.

    I understand the being in the playoffs once in the last four years is blamed on Flacco BUT Flacco played half a season once and was rehabbing the trashed knee last year.  I've posted this somewhere it takes 18 months to get over the whole knee thing, physically the player is ready but psychologically he may not be.  I forget which home game last year Flacco trashed his knee brace because he went down funny in his slide and hobbled off the field to the tunnel to get it changed out and came out ready to play---as player that has to stick with you.

    The revolving door at OC impacts the entire offense and oh boy did it show.  The stupid penalties killed the team as well as QB play.

    Personally I like Joe and I know he will never be Peyton or Tom, because franchise QB's of their caliber do not grow on trees or everyone would have one except maybe Cleveland.

    So because other teams are getting rid of their message boards we have to get rid of ours? I haven't seen too many keyboard bullies here...

    Thank a Moderator or Flock member who reported abuse so we could get rid of the post and if needed put the offender on hiatus.  There is a lot that goes on that quietly gets taken care of, one of the reasons new posters are on mod preview.

    Many teams that had message boards no longer do, I went and did my own checking Pittsburgh has everything

    but a MB, Cincinnati,Cleveland, Buffalo( they had one at the beginning of the 2016 season) Patriots, Jets have a bizarre social hub, Miami has links to fan sites,Indy and Tampa Bay do not have message boards Redskins, Giants, Falcons, Eagles, Jaguars, Cowboys, Texans, Panthers do have message boards but I'm not privy to what goes on behind the scenes or if they will continue, I just went through and clicked the links.

     

    BTW @K-Dog that was one I'd my best birthday presents ever -- that win !  My husband just walked by and asked I was reliving happier times lol!

    I am already on FB and MySpace before that to keep an eye on what my then kids were into lol  FB is now a venue for me to swap pictures with my family and friends and not to have sites post on my behalf.  I personally think tweets are stupid, especially trying to figure out what some people are trying to say.  I have instagram but have never used it I signed up to see a friends pictures of her grandson.  I love this site and have put many, many, many hours into this to place and am beyond sad to see it go.

    As someone previously said, I am a PSL holder for 3 seats that have gone up 19 buck per seat per game, so I do financially support the team.

    We were told that less then half the teams had message boards by the end of the season, it seems to be a dieing 'thing'.  Where else can you go to someones employer and demand they be fired?  I noticed last year the death of boards on sites like ESPN, which surprised me, IMBd which really surprised me, PFT has had several polls asking members if they want commenting first one in 2013 I think and a bunch of news sites have gotten rid of commenting/ boards because of the keyboard bullies and negativity.
