HomeoftheBRAVENS

I'm a fan of this aggressive 4th down play calling.I'm not sure if we'd actually be doing it so much if we were 8-3 and not 4-7 though.Hopefully this aggressiveness carries over into next year when we're back in playoff contention.

Is it a bad thing that I'm sad because we won that game?We just officially took ourselves out of the Joey Bosa lottery.It's good chance we won't even get a top 5 pick now.I guess it's time to hop on the Laquan Treadwell bandwagon.

Why on earth do you want Trestman gone?We have dog poo at WR and all kinds of injuries on the o-line yet at the time of this comment we're a top ten offense.

I agree with Ray.The only difference between Belicheck and Ryan is Tom Brady.If Rex had a HOF QB he probably would've won two rings with the Jets.

The situations you're comparing are apples and oranges.When Keenum beat us it wasn't because of anything he did.It because of what JJ Watt and that defense did.When McCown beat us it was a direct result of his play.Case Keenum is a young QB with very little playing experience.Josh McCown on the other hand is a smart experienced vet whose been in the league for over a decade.Those are two totally different QB's and two totally different situations.

This is good news.I had little faith Manziel would be able to beat the Ravens.With McCown in there we have a chance to stay in he race for the top pick.

If the Cleveland Browns can't beat us at home on a Monday night when we have Matt Schaub starting for us at QB on one week of preparation,this laughable secondary and Flacco,Forsett,Suggs and Steve Smith all on I.R.,I'll lose what little respect I have for that organization.

This is not a good look,man.I read the title and thought they meant metaphorical effort stickers.My brain could'nt fathom him handing out actual stickers.I can't stop cringing.

LMAO Good one.

You're right.This draft is going to play a pivotal role in whether or not we win 1 or 2 more superbowls with Flacco before he retires.

I hope we use this new rule change to trade up into the mid 20's with a comp pick or two and the high second rounder we're sure to have.We need the best of the best talent in this draft to start making runs at more superbowls before Flacco gets too old.I'm also hoping we don't trade that top five pick unless it's for atleast a decent first this year and another first next year.

The refs did us a favor.This team sucks and needs better draft position.

LMAO

I wonder if we'll see the debut of Perriman in 2 weeks now that Smitty is most likely done for the season.

I'm still mad we didn't trade up when Hopkins,Ogletree and Patterson all fell to the late 20's.Even though Patterson is looking like a bust,he still would've been a better pick than Elam and I think he developed into a better player if he had Joe as a QB.

I forgot to mention Crockett Gillmore.Crockett is a beast!I think he and Perriman both have the potential to be above average players.

I wasn't a Maxx Williams fan before the draft.I just didn't see the athletic TE he was being touted as and I'm still waiting to see it.I won't go as far as to disrespect him and call him Fatt Maxx,but he really needs to drop a few pounds and work on his speed in the off season.

I hope Crockett gets more targets in this game.I fell asleep in the 3rd Quarter,but from what I saw it felt like he wasn't even the 3rd progression for Joe in last weeks game.He's the second best playmaker we have in the passing game and we need to find ways to get him involved early and not just in the redzone of 2 minute drives.That's vital for this offense and for his progression as a young player.

Suggs will be 34,he didn't hurt his knee,he tore his achilles and I didn't say he would light anything up.I think Suggs will still have enough in the tank to add something to our pass rush.He showed no signs of slowing down before his injury.And I agree with you on the Webb signing.I was excited when we signed him but gasped when I saw the numbers.I think he was paid so much because he didn't just have a good year as a CB in 2011 but was also a pretty good return man.

HAHAHAA

Givens should be a starter this Sunday and you're stupid if you think Monroe is being traded anywhere.I can think of 5 reasons off the top of my head why that wouldn't make sense.

I say we cut him and Lewis for the $4.4 million in cap space and put those savings toward signing Sean Smith and Eric Weddle.I think a secondary with those two,Jimmy,Hill and Arrington should get us back to atleast being in the teens in pass defense.Especially once Suggs comes back and improves our pass rush.

None of this "Flacco's contract is destroying the team" talk would be going on if we had built the team in the right way.When you have a franchise QB you're supposed to surround him with talent at the skill positions,do just enough on defense and tell the QB to go get it done every week.This organization and fan base has been so stubborn about letting go of our defensive traditions that we did the exact opposite.We poured all of our resources into defense and told the franchise QB go get it done with table scraps.Now we have an unreliable defense and an unreliable offense.We got lucky in 2012 when those table scraps were groomed into good players,but that's a stupid way to build a team when you have a top tier QB.Look the way every other team with a 1st or 2nd tier QB is built.None of those teams(NE,GB,ATL,DEN,INDY,SD,DAL,NYG,NO) go all in on defense and sabotage their QB the way we do.Our defense wouldn't have been any worse than it is now so we would've been better off loading up on offense the past few years.If we ditched one or two mega contracts on defense and used it to put an elite WR on the other side of Smith,a couple of these close losses would've been wins.

As jazz1988 said,he doesn't want to coach/coordinate anywhere else if he's fired.
