I like Joe's playoff road record but for once can he set some HOME playoff records. Only 2 Home Playoff games in the Harbaugh-Flacco Era. Fix it for next season please.
that's this year. look at the QB caliber we faced. We don't get that next year - in fact, going back to what you said about things changing - it could be an even more difficult schedule than it appears right now.
And it could be an easier schedule... time will tell. A lot of the teams on our upcoming schedule have major question marks.
Based on what I see, what QBs are we really talking about here? Manning, Rivers and Wilson? That's even assuming Manning comes back, which he probably does. The rest of the list is basically mid-tier QBs, and ideally we will have an improved secondary by then.
The defenses figure to be better, sure. But you could argue that the offenses could...
Yes... and I agree with jacket 30ppg on a consistent basis gets us the key # 1 seed and for h ravensdfan the Denver coaching shocker yesterday has yet to be concluded. Also, The stench of that SD game will not be forgotten.
If it's any positive out of this, last time we lost to the Patriots in the playoffs, we won the Super Bowl next season. Hope that is the case next season.
Good thinking lol
If we Ozzie can fix the secondary, and Kubiak stays as OC, we will be the best team in the NFL/world. I couldn't be prouder of our Ravens though.
We also had Q and Dennis. We need someone to fill their roles that we still haven't found, especially if Dennis isn't what he was when he comes back.
The only positive to this loss is we get a head start on keeping Daniels and Forsett. Get working on those contracts Ozzie.
3-0? Now 3-1, meaning the smallest number becomes the biggest. Can't wait to renew our playoff rivalry with Brady & Co next week.
Brady freeing up the Patriots cap space. Hey Joe, want to free up some cap space for us?
Just so you know too, Brady actually winds up with a RAISE the way the restructure was done so don't be acting like he's some Saint.
^^ his apparent raise is still under the cap and price tag of what he is actually worth though by a decent amount.
lol as the next article states - skip the sainthood - it helped both sides but Brady gave up nothing.

Steelers or Bengals? Who you rather face in the Wild Card Round?
I'd like to play Denver in their current state. Hard matchups all around, but that's the one I want.
Steelers
We could play the Colts maybe too.
Ravens need a win + a SD loss to get into the playoffs and be the 6th seed. So the loss to SD comes back to bite us. Damn it.
Yeah, and we actually dominated them in all phases of the game. The stars just don't want to align this year.
Gotta get by Connor Shaw first.
Connor Shaw. Given how we like to make unknowns look like Peyton, the name strikes fear into my heart.
The Draft has officially been confirmed to take place in Chicago. Darn it, a trip to New York for the draft sounded fun, Chicago, not as much.
Hahaha ludy51...
@ludy walking the line man, walking the line. lol
yeah. but look at the facts. highest count of homicides of all american cities i believe. at least in 2013
So Ray Rice gets his suspension lifted but Adrian Peterson stays suspended? Goodell is going to go down in court, it's about to get ugly.
Ray who?
RR got his lifted because of double jeopardy.Not the case with AP.
Ray Rice got his lifted because he was essentially punished twice for the same event. That isn't the case with AP.
Our 8th victory means the worse we can finish is 8-8. Meaning in 7 seasons with us, Harbaugh will yet to have a losing season. Congrats Harbs!
It's quite funny the ones who want him gone every time we lose don't realize this fact.
lol@ Inqui for the Atlanta reference
If we could +1 comments I would for that lol.
Has anyone wondered that our receivers coach could just be the issue of our receivers struggling? Please Steve, pay some money and get us a better WR coach.
Ummm... when they brought in Kubes... didn't they bring his with him?
Mom - No, they hired some guy from the college ranks who has NFL experience as a WR.
The Ravens hired Engram... The guy worked as an offensive assistant with the 49ers in 2011. Then in in 2012 and 2013, he was the wide receivers coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Before that, he was a wideout with the Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Not too worried. Remember Dalton is the Matt Ryan of the AFC. He can take the regular season sweep and Flacco can just take his second Lombardi in Feb.
If Joe Flacco is still in the mood to score some points, he can come to game 4 and score enough runs to ensure the Royals can't win.
Flacco can pitch though.....or I hope we don't get a bagel....
Flacco used to be a pitcher, so maybeeee
Heck I am up for anything right about now with them
I thought Ravens talk was bad after a loss. Seeing the Bengals and Steelers forums after a loss, makes me feel better.
Visited the Seahawks forums and you're right, it's bad.
The fans in Tampa were actually very nice yesterday. They have accepted that they lose... especially to good teams. They were all over the compliments about Flacco and our team....
I went to the Falcon's forum to see what they had to say about this week's match up. It's really depressing over there : (
The annual "there will be a NFL team in London" talk is upon us. Just maybe we get rid of Goodell, the new commissioner can end this playing in London BS.
If it brings in another 16 billion a year in funds I see it happening poescrows. Also they are doing it as a market. It didnt do so well 20 years ago. Remember Kurt Warner? He played for amsterdam. So to say it isnt that popular is changing. With our military abroad they will also have a chance to see "their team" in their local area as well IF they move. Now they might start a UK league. And the American Super bowl, and UK Super bowl winners might duke it out. I dont see chartering t...
Heard a rumor that Stan Kroenke, the Rams owner will announce he's moving the team to L.A. after the Super Bowl.
So you're saying a London game will bring in 1 billion dollars a week, Bmore? In Government dollars perhaps, LOL.
Ugh.... I hate you Ticketmaster! This whole time no tickets for the Ravens-Steelers game are available but all of a sudden a bunch of tickets are released for sale. GRRRRRR!
FYI usually two days before the game they will release tickets. That's how I've been buying mine.
Even if they don't announce, they show up.
Steelers returned 200 tickets yesterday. Usually check the Thursday before a home game or in this case Tuesday
Yeah but it screws the out of towners like me who can't just ask off work days before the game. NFL really screws up the whole putting in for time off to be able to go and even getting that time off from work.
Isn't it something how things just fall in place for Ozzie. We can release Rice, and move on to a RB heavy 2015 Draft Class and Ozzie can work his magic and get a better RB than Rice.
My PS3 just got the Yellow Light of Death.... thank goodness I only have to wait until Tuesday to get the PS4.
I'm officially done with Profootball Talk. In their article about Ray getting a statute, and I quote.. "Knocking a woman out concisous gets you a standing ovation. If you want a statue you have to obstruct justice in a murder".
Your guilty until proven innocent .. but still guilty on PFT, they are a joke.
I guess Tony Stewart getting a standing ovation will be his next article? Oh he only talks about us Ravens I see.
There are so many troglodytes masquerading as humans trolling that site from all 32 fanbases, its probably the single largest collection of sports related internet losers. I don't even bother looking at the comments if I go there..unfortunately their "writers" aren't much better.
