The Mom Gene

Is there really a good time to do it??? I mean really, I think we all would have had the same reaction regardless of when it's done.

There will still be a Ravens website where you'll get breaking news, and you will be able to comment on those stories.

Yes.. there is a reply function on all of those sites...

Before becoming a mod, I had NEVER been to the forum side. I had always been a blog person. It's disappointing, yes. There have been duplicate discussions on the site because of this for years. There are MANY teams that doing the same thing. We are not the only ones. The site has become home to many folks, but so many have moved on. We are as disappointed as you guys are. I do understand that conversations about the happenings can still be had on the news side.

Welp folks..... We ARE officially in the offseason... http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/colts-dl-arrested-for-allegedly-stealing-golf-cart-assault/ar-AAnCxje?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

I don't think Torrey was that great. He was a great guy.... but he needed to walk. He didn't understand the importance off making that "big play". He just missed too many of them.

lets not forget, Perriman has yet to have a training camp. THATS where you really learn a lot about how to be a player. Lets give him at least a chance to get thru a training camp before we label him a bust. Absolutely... it's craziness.

We really need to keep this guy.... He's a great guy, and a great leader.

What a fantastic guy.... Gosh I miss Jacoby.

GO GETTUM TUCK!

Zach..... Ravens Flock loves you. We're behind your decision and God Bless you and your family. I pray for your health and your happiness. We'll surely miss you out there. You were becoming a really fantastic Linebacker. Thank you for your time here. You'll always be a Raven to us.

WHAT A MAN. Who will replace Zachary Orr??? No one will replace him. They will just come after him. He's a bright star and should be an example to many that your dreams can be cut short at a moments notice... You just move on to your next dream.

The question is... Do I really care that Br*dy was considered here??? The answer to that is NO, I really don't care.

I know, right?

GO PACK GO!

I didn't say that. Don't misinterpret what I said...but you do have to look there first. What else gives any QB time to "play the fiddle".

The Packers started off the season slow as well. I had Devante' Adams on my Fantasy team... did they come alive??? Absolutely and at the right time. But as well, they don't have much of a running game either. Just sayin.

OK, so I hate the P*triots. and I hate Br*dy. I think I hate them more than I hate the Squeelers. While I hate the Squeelers, I do respect them as an adversary in our Division. So, as much as it pains me to say it, I think I have to root for the Squeelers to win on Sunday. When either of these guys goes to the Super Bowl??? And the Packers beat the Falcons??? I will be rooting for the Packers... Go Pack Go...

So guys like Mosley, Brandon Williams, Juice, Stanley and Lewis, Dixon; those guys aren't included in the draft history? There have been more hits than misses. The list goes on. I also believe that every team has the exact same issue. We just don't see it or pay much attention to it because we aren't following the team as closely. NO ONE can predict exactly how a guy is going to fare in the NFL. I hate to mention a certain QB that was drafted in the 6th round that is seen as "The greatest" ever... Others that are STARS in college just don't pan out in the NFL... guys like maybe Elam or Tebow. While it would be nice to make that special pick every year... you're correct to mention that it's very difficult to find a Ray Lewis, an Ed Reed, or a Jonathan Ogden out there every year.

The only problem is that if you're in the Baltimore area, you don't get the Ravens games with NFL Game Pass (same with the MLB package - no Os). Ridiculous. But I have a digital antennae and get the Ravens over the air. The NFL is way behind us cord cutters. A good work around - if you have a Verizon phone - is a mini hdmi from your phone to TV and use the NFL Mobile app. I live in Florida now and tried NFL Sunday Ticket very expensive and though they assured me I would be able to see ALL the Ravens games, that is a big lie. What a bunch of scammers. I saw all of 6 games on Sunday Ticket didn't have access to 3 games especially the Ravens v. Steeler games and watched the others on local TV. So I watched less then 6 games on Sunday Ticket but have to pay for them all and still watch 2 hours of commercials. Plus listen to these horrible commentators. There's another fun part of football. Trying to watch Green Bay - Dallas with that clown Akin. I'd rather go to the dentist. The man spews nonsense, will not shut up for 5 seconds. All these guys are awful I end up turning off the sound every time for most of the game and all the commercials. I won' t be bothering with any of it next year. The refs are awful, the commentators are awful the endless commercials are mind numbing and with all the changes the games are boring. Yep I want to spend my time and money being annoyed. It's supposed to be entertainment it isn't!! I don't know where you are in FL... but I'm in Melbourne, and I have NFL Sunday Ticket. The only games NOT on ticket were the ones on NFL Network. I watch EVERY SINGLE GAME. And those you can see with Directv. I find that Directv is much cheaper than going to the sportsbar and watching... Going there you'll spend about $40 - $50 a week on food and drink for 2. Having Sunday ticket at home actually allows me to hear the commentary too. I think you mean AIKMAN.

Both teams have a great O-Line. This isn't hard to see and understand.

Cancer sucks! Much sympathy and God Bless the Modell Family. My thoughts and prayers are with them all at this time.

Meh... There were people calling for Castillo to be gone. You know that Crusader.

Reed's a coach; and an ex-Raven who is a first round HOF'er... Of course his name is going to pop up.
