With Green out let Jimmy take extra time to heal. Has he had a single season injury free yet ? The guy has had it rough for sure. He was badly missed yesterday, we needed his strength and size.

When i saw the catch and how he tried to not make it look to awesome so the team would stay focused it made me happy. The guy is a pro in every sense of the word. Congratulations SSR we are so proud to have you in the Ravens organization.

I agree and hope the team takes it well, they showed up and gave Dak and Elliot some hard shots as a welcome to the NFL Baltimore style.

LOL he did not even get 100 did he.. And all and all i think even Tavon on Dex was a good as could have been expected. Poor Tavon looked like a highschool kid but he has heart and determination and was always in position but was just not strong enough. Good : Was a great game, very entertaining. We showed we could stop the run Our run game looks much better Bad: Penalties Referee missed calls Very Bad Steelers won... lol

Exactly right and remember what happened to Jamal. He needed the exact right situation to be successful. After he left here he was less than productive so if we can just get the oline out of sync the run game should crumble (i am such a homer)..lol Am so excited for this game.

Shutting Bryant down is not the huge issue for me. If Tavon can get under his skin and piss him off then he will take himself out of the game mentally, he is a hot head. Besides, Dak does not go deep too often, i am more worried about Elliot coming out of the backfield. As long as we get pressure i say we win the game.

Beasley worries me as well but he has had a case of bad hands this season from the few Dallas games i have watched. I do hope that if Jimmy is not 100% they do not field him. I would rather see little Tavon get under Dez's skin by sticking to him like glue. I was so hoping Mosley would be healthy to patrol the middle to keep Witten quiet. But then we also have Elliot catching the ball on the outside which they love to do.

You know, when Lewis stated on TV that Joe plays with no passion he is seemingly just piling on with everyone else who always debates Joe's play and to make it worse it was after all "Ray Lewis" that said it and i am sure it dug that much more deeper and i congratulate Joe for not losing it and keeping his cool. I did not here him speak a word with the numerous times Lewis's antics have hurt the team.

I have never seen any other player in the NFL play with more passion and be able to instill a winning spirit into a team like he did but he had no reason to go onto national TV and talk about Joe's passion for the game. That could have made the locker room turn on Joe but gladly they backed Joe. To me that is a low blow from Lewis. Is he feeling missed and need to be in the headlines again or something. He probably did not mean any ill intentions but should never have been stated.

I think you are forgetting a HUGE piece of that "Joe" did it all puzzle friend. Bolden, if you go back and watch the game you will see quite a few over throws and very inaccurate tosses that Bolden had to fight for, make great grabs and outplay the defense. If we had not had Bolden Joe's run would not have been.

I am trying to think of just how many teams are dominant on both sides of the ball. It usually is one or the other. I am happy if we have a dominant defense and a average offense. I know it will take a while for Joe to get back to being Joe and being beat to hell every snap does not speed up the process. lol

The Cowboys defense is not that much better then the Browns so why not. I would rather see us have long drawn out drives down field via the run and make the Elliot/Dak issue mute.

Dixon and those quick outs should be huge this game i hope. SSR should also get some great chances in the middle of the field, would love to see him crossing the field and bust free for a 50 yard TD.

I am looking at last year and this year friend as far as Aiken. No one looks good this year due to offensive issues except for Pitta and Wallace. I just would hate to see us put more time into Camp just for him to go down in a crucial point and time and then we go back to Aiken anyway. Do you think he will turn out to be a healthy player ?

Very true, we would have to have a total collapse on defense and those guys are determined to dominate. I love their aggression. I think we can run on them and that will be huge. I do not think Bell is anything special, never have and he looked like Eric Dickerson against the Cowboys. So if we can run the ball and get some quick tosses outside we can control the game.

I was a huge Camp fan before he started showing he is a (can never stay healthy) type of player and i would not take reps from any starting reciever to take a chance on him again. We need to develop timing and not gamble on a "maybe" player like he is with his issues. He has all of the tools and can be a huge X factor when he is on the field but how often is that ? Aiken has earned his spot.

I feel really good heading into next season. I think we have a very sound base of young talent which will all have a year of experience for next year. If we draft for depth next year we will be in a position that any single player going down will not deflate us. This is the first time in quite a few years i feel safe about what we have.

The Steelers have some of the same woes we have but our wounds are healing. Their O'line just keeps falling apart. Their defense is really middle of the road at best and we all saw their special teams play.. lol I really hope we shut them out this year.

I think we are starting to see it already and by next season we should be an almost complete package.

I for one am very glad the game is not prime time to have to listen to the broadcasters beat us up and tell us how we did so bad even if things are going our way. Collinsworth gets under my skin every time. Cannot wait to see us hand Dallas the loss Dak/Romo rants LOL I would rather play verses Dak then Romo. His timing with Dez would kill us.

An average O'line can hold their own against the Dallas D'line. We should be ok as far as protecting Flacco.

Yes sir, i think we won one pre-season game and just 3 regular season games . Man i miss that stadium. Great memories.

I will always remember the very first season, ahhhhhhh football returns. Was so happy. I know as a season it was awful, think we won 3 games but football was back baby !!

Steelers almost had them beat until penalties killed them again. Is it bad of me that i look forward to seeing their coaching staffs (Tomlin) faces the minute they know they have lost. lol

I am going to give this score guessing game a go.. 20-17 Ravens wins via Tucker
