Sorry about your loss. I was in another state in 2006 and we knocked the Steelers out of the 4pm national spot the last 5 weeks. I got to see every game at the end of the season.... 2006 loved that defense. If McNair had some arm strength left and health left in the playoffs would have been an amazing season capped by a Superbowl win. 10years later that season still stings! McCalister & shomari Rolle shutting down both sides....Giving Ed Reed complete Freedom. Remember...Ed Reed switched to free safety 2006!

I made a post a few post above yours with a correction. I Should give your post a red arrow for not reading a short thread, lol. "Make it 2 teams (Ravens and Raiders) and 3 quarterbacks (big ben, brady, manning) since 2000."

That's very possible.....but would ego get in the way with Rex? And maybe Lewis would retire. Billick seems like a closer possibility if him and the owner's egos/pride do not affect things. Letting go of Dilfer and the Boller mess...I believe he learned from it. Billick created the game manager trend that was followed by Tom Brady (early career) and Brad Johnson.

That was Boller based and he regained the locker room when McNair came to the team (Air was hurt 2007 playoffs into 2007 regular season...not Billick's fault)....there is no Boller on this roster. Flacco is the guy, period.

Well...and being in the same division as the steelers. They loom over us and it's hard to carve out space/separation.

as much as I've said he's waiting on the right opportunity like Cowher.....Billick barely gets calls as the Kyle Boller mess with a prime Raven's defense hangs over his head. he should have had at least two rings by 2007. I just happen to feel he learned from the past and also he would have Flacco so he can focus on other aspects of the team.

Facebook plays on your emotion. Steelers are relevant to Raven's fans.....just the algorithm at play. you don't think redskins fans are seeing cowboys accomplishments all over Facebook? lol.

I expect Marvin and or Rex to be let go at the end of the season. If Billick can come back....we can probably get one of those two guys backs as DC.

it's destiny.

Oops i forgot the Raiders had sneaked in there after they got rid of John Gruden. Make it 2 teams (Ravens and Raiders) and 3 quarterbacks (big ben, brady, manning) since 2000. It's funny that the raiders (before Carr went down), steelers, and patriots would probably come out of the AFC again for no change since 2000! hahaha!

Early 90's I was a cowboys fan as b-more had no team in my early lifetime.... and was just starting grade school. I was blind to Troy Aikaman and didn't really watch other teams outside of the NFC until 95 with the CFL Colts/Stallions and then the Ravens to learn about the AFC. AFC was just the Washington Generals to me....1981-1997 it was NFC winning the superbowl. Aikman, Steve Young, and Favre were the big 3 of QB's to me in the early 90's. And I respected Jake the Snake Plummer too.

You could argue only 4 teams since Peyton Manning was the common thread of the colts and broncos. Then again you can argue 3 players, and one team (the Ravens). And the chances are high Brady or Big Ben make it out of the AFC this year. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Big Ben, and The Ravens with two different QB's.

a coach has to evolve his knowledge as no job is permanent. adding offensive experience to his special team knowledge is a good business move and can be an asset at times.

jeff fisher was a known quantity too, lol. point is harbaugh is the best coach we have ever had and you could see his superiority the way he turned around the billick fiasco. That being said we give him one more year and if he missed the playoffs 4 in 5 years we can bring in a new voice.

Even Kobe Bryant had to wait behind a well established all star in eddie jones for two years....he didn't go to a team like lebron james on the cavs to get those early stats/opportunities his first couple of seasons. Kobe had to be 6th man for two seasons. Point being is that when you have two pro bowl caliber receivers....you are not going to be automatically inserted into their spots.

Kyle Boller is number one no matter how many sympathizers he has.....turnover machine, injury prone, tripped over his own feet/lack coordination and couldn't manage the game well enough to lead us to the playoffs. We should have had Byron Leftwhich instead or could have stayed put for Anquan Boldin....but that's another story. Now who is the 2nd biggest bust? I'm torn between Travis Taylor and Mark Clayton in which our fan base was over patient with those guys.

worked well when he built the lead with Aikman and Irving....then emmitt smith time in the 4th quarter.

1. Cam Newton 2. Maybe Russell Wilson 3. Maybe Derek Carr Everyone else that may be better than Flacco is mid 30's plus! Think about it......

Harbaugh is part of the Walsh tree by way of Andy Reid. Others were former head coaches....harbaugh can only get credit for Rex Ryan (1/2 credit) and Pagano.

Parcells, Schottenhiemer & Walsh are the only trees in the NFL. ...Meaning billicheat isn't extending the Parcells tree successfully...but he's at least making many NFL coaches unlike Sean Payton to keep Parcells going.

What's he doing with his money? Gambling problems?

What was wrong with 2014? We beat the Steelers and got cheated by the pats with illegal subs, eligibles not being declared, & deflated footballs!!! Then we would have beat the colts in the AFC Championship game! 2014 was a solid season!

They go together, imo....Harbs saving grace is his playoffs magic unlike Billick! if we miss the playoffs this year its 1 appearance in 4yrs just like Billick. Thing is that once Harbs and Flacco get to the playoffs we have a chance to win it all even if we are on the road. 2014 gave Harbs a longer leash cause we were cheated by the pats....

do we watch football or just skim through the games?!?! ....we should appreciate the skill set Flacco has and we should maximize his talent. Down large in the 4th...i'll stick with Flacco!

When trailing by 14points or more in the 4th quarter: Brees, Brady, Aaron Rodgers & Big Ben have never won a game in their career 0-22 or more loses for each!!!!...think about it. Could the elites w/o taking into account other factors do much better than Flacco?!?! I THINK NOT! The entitlement is getting very obvious from our fan base! team game people!
