  1. Aiken has heart. He Plays Like A Raven, and stands up when his number is called. I'd also say he's the closest type of WR we have that is similar to what Boldin brought to the offense. I sure hope he sticks around, and is given more touches.
  2. The Ravens need a new offensive philosophy of scoring points. Points, Points, Points. This is in GREAT need of change after an almost two year stretch of close games. It's ridiculous. If it hasn't happened already, you guys are going to end up killing Ravens fans that suffer with heart conditions.
  3. Kickers are becoming more valuable with new rules and can be the reason you win or lose. Tucker is clutch and one of the best in the league. There are teams who would LOVE to have what we have. Do what you gotta do to keep him!
  4. The Redskins - Ravens rivalry is non-existent. Most Ravens fans seem to like our local NFC team.
  5. My top 3 hated teams in order- New England (32), Cincinatti (31), Pittsburgh (30). I've grown to respect the Steelers and like a lot of their players.
  6. True playmakers = money. I have a feeling the Raven front office translation for playmaker is a Golden Tate, not Calvin Johnson. Eric Decker, not Brandon Marshall. Vincent Jackson, not Mike Evans. And so on...but maybe this time they'll dig deep in their pockets and surprise us? Personally I think our receiving corps has depth and looks promising. I would say if we're going to go big, get the type of ballhawk that has areas of the field named after them when they're defending.
  7. Still need a ballhawk, someone QBs will be afraid to throw against.
  8. The color splash uniforms on Thursday Night Football will be mandatory in 2016. The Jets are the only team to change their helmet as well, to metallic green. We should look to make a statement. An idea would be to incorporate highlighter purple. The uniform could look like the color white under a black light- highlighter purple. Maybe the 2 stripes on the top of the helmet could be the same color? Maybe highlighter yellow accents where there is gold? Or just the purple if that looks too much. Just some ideas.
  9. I'm all for uniform tweaks, it keeps it interesting. College does it too much, and the NFL not enough. The stripe needs to go, and I think it would look better as an all gold uniform. Possibly a black jersey and gold pants or vice versa. I was excited to see the Thursday Night color splash uniforms this year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Ravens uniforms will look like next year and in the future. If you guys need any assistance or suggestions, hit me up
  10. Hey Ravens if you want Steve Smith Sr to come back next season, give him a reason to come back by finishing strong this season. At this point, 8-8 would be fantastic!
  11. I could see why Torrey wasn't worth the money to keep here. But I still don't understand for life of me why Boldin was traded for a sixth round draft pick. If age was any of a factor in that decision...you can see he's still tearing it up 3 years removed.
  12. I'm sick of watching these Ravens play slow and conservative until they're behind and have to catch up, then they turn it on just enough to be within the win....and then take a lazy sunday walk up to the line when there is under 2 minutes left with no timeouts. Today was not the first time, and it needs to stop. You guys look like you DON'T CARE. Its hard for fans to get excited with a team that plays like that. This has been an absolutely disappointing season with six close last minute games and only winning one. This team is not the Ravens of past years, but there's no reason we should be 1-5. Inexcusable. Its time to make changes...front office get to work and do what you need to do. And for the future, it's time to spend the money on an elite player instead of crossing your fingers hoping your draft picks become superstars.
  13. The only conspiracy is how Ben Rosen finds work.
  14. We need speed or at least a big target for this season. Steve Smith can't do it all every game. Any FA's out there worth a shot? Maybe a trade?
  15. The defense did very well, I was impressed. It sucks to lose the Suggs with the leadership and experience he brings, but I think we'll be ok with the young talent. The O line may need help. The Broncos do have a good defense though. We definitely need speed on the outside. Let's hope Perriman gets out there asap so he can show us what he's made of!
  16. He's been constantly injured. I think that'd be a poor decision.
  17. All black is the best uni and should be the regular uniform, with the purple jersey being the alternate. It's psychologically intimidating and gives the Ravens an extra edge.
