  1. Certainly was a breath of fresh air seeing that second half, how they (and my mood) needed that. In the first, Joe Cool looked like a broken man almost and I was worried for real, not only about this season. Such a relief. And the D just keeps playing great week after week!
  2. Maybe it´s because of the competition at other spots, but from a pure Ravens perspective I´d say Mosley has looked more All-Pro then the above mentioned, except Tucker. Also think Jimmy´s not getting close to the recognition he deserves.
  3. This I believe, is the worst I have seen from A Ravens team under the Harbaugh era. Second half was just painful. It felt hopeless, I didn´t even believe we´d make a play, you could just feel we wouldn´t make a play...
  4. Haha, I thought that´s exactly what it was? Yeah, I think they very in large made out of sea shells, nad often it seems they were being built on in decades. But that whole process does make it very different from the egyptian ones. It is fascinating yes. But I always looked at it this way; We´re all human beings from the same origin populating the same world. It´s not that strange that what is discovered to work in one place for that species is also discovered to work elsewhere by other members of that species. With differencies of course, but the basic conecpt of pyramid-like building makes a lot of sense if youre intent on building something very large (and don´t have modern alloys and such at your disposal). Simply put, a wheel is a wheel everywhere since that´s what works best if you want to move something heavy from point A to B. Therefore it follows that lot´s of civilazationswill have had wheels in different forms and shapes, independent from each other. But I agree, it is fascinating all this. And I wish we heard more about the newly discovered ancient civilazations than we do.
  5. No surprise, like many stated it´s not as we looked good in our wins either. But I must say I´m a little concerned about Flacco... I think he´s missed way to many throws. I don´t know if I´m being overly critical, but the amount of money we pay for our QB I think we should expect more.
  6. Well, hopefully most of our guys from the O-line can start, that´s the biggest concern IMO. Won´t like to be without SSS either, but as long as Wallace, Aiken, Perriman and Moore and our TE:s are fine it´s a much lesser concern.
  7. This is so last year...
  8. 1: Ancient indians, not sure if they have a name for that people really, they were also constructed under a very long time span. 2: Mostly from nearby quarries, they´re primarily made out of limestone. there are several interresting documentaries about how they built them, how they transported the huge stones etc. 3: I´m not sure if anyone knows and my guess is it varies alot depending on size obviously, and also lot of other factors like slaves and the pharaoh and so on. 4: If they were indeed wholly or partly man made (still debating it as far as I know) it´s no real mystery, sea levels have risen and fallen over the years, istosasy in some form seems likely. There are other "sunken cities" around the world, and more will probably be found too. 5: They weren´t really. The ones you mention in Brazil for example are very different from the egyptian ones. 6: Almost exclusivley for various religious reasons, and sometimes scientific aswell. In the case of Egypt BmoreBird22 has written the explanation, graves. Otherwise I suggest google or youtube, there are plenty on these subjects for curious people.
  9. How you don't accept that penalty and force the field goal (attempt) is beyond me in that situation. It's not even close to be out of janikowskis range with the penalty anyway. Brain fart!
  10. Ugly, but I'll take it. But wow, from time to time this team looks so clueless...
  11. Our o-line has not looked good this far... Well, not much else either
  12. For a 1st and a 4th. Just wow...
  13. Fair points, I agree with most of it, and yes of course anyone would give up a 1st and a 2nd for a Super Bowl. If the Vikings do go on and win it with Bradford I stand corrected, but I still think that a 1st and a 4th is overpaying big time for Bradford at this point. And I don´t really see the Vikings as contenders, with either Bridgewater or Bradford. But I may be wrong, not many would have had us winning a few years ago or the Panthers in the SB last year either.
  14. I honestly can´t belive this. Not at the same scale as we don´t give up anything, except a roster spot for Butler or Brooks, which is bad enough, but it feels like the same panic move as the Bradford trade and similar.
  15. Well, atleast we didn´t give a 1st and then some for Sam Bradford. Not happy about some of the cuts, but like I stated before, there was no room. There was 57 players I would really have liked to keep.
  16. It might be because we don't have another backup LT. We have options if one of our WRs or safeties gets injured, but Hurst is really the only backup LT we have. I know, it´s just frustrating that we have to let some really good players go for below average cover at other positions...
  17. You sure about that? What does that mean exactly? That they talked to him and convinced him not to sign elsewhere, which he can control, whereas the younger guys just get picked on waiver, out of their control?
  18. Agree to some extent. As long as they don´t sign Hester over the above mentioned...
  19. I understand that it´s hard to compare positions, but how we can keep Hurst over Brooks or Butler is beyond me. But I´m sure there´s some other plan in place. Some moves to be expected I guess.
  20. Can´t believe this is true. I thought the cuts were hard enough anyway, a slightly injured 33 y/o that can only return over guys like Campanaro, Ochi etc? Can´t be true, surely?
  21. The more I think about it, the more stupid it seems. I´m assuming the still see Bridgewater as their starter for years to come. Why on earth would you give up a 1st and a 4th for a one year rental that has proved nothing beyond average and being very injury prone? I just don´t get it.
  22. I wonder... If not for Campanaros name I´d say the latter but I certainly believe and hope he makes the team. Maybe it´s just some are resting because of minor injury etc aswell.
  23. Little bit dissapointed, was kind of still hoping he´d be a good player eventually. But yeah, I can´t see who they should´ve cut instead...
  24. The move just feels like total panic from the Vikings management. I might have considered giving up a 2nd at most...
