    Let the blowout commence, I don't think Dallas is set up to come back from behind. Going to be interesting to see if Dak can lead a comeback victory in the playoffs but none the less, Dallas has a very talented QB and RB to take them into the next decade.

    Me either.

    Romo may have to make an appearance!

    This used to be an exciting time in prior years. But after the last couple of years and seeing that all the strategy sessions didn't really help us become a winning franchise. So, while I'm hopeful for 2017, the leading indicators (retention of all the same coaches and the loss of Frazier and potentially Wagner and Williams) leaves me queasy. I believe in Steve, Ozzie and Eric but I'm not sure about Harbaugh and his performance this year. Will we see the same Harbs, Flacco and putrid offense? I am praying we don't but what's changed other than the timeline?

    I believe so.  I'll stick to that until we see otherwise.

    Just pointed that out! Loved it, he knows the stakes and is showing great leadership. There is a different air about him this year and it's part of why the Falcons are my NFC pick for the Super Bowl. But still a lot of game left.

    I got the Falcons advancing to the SB as well.

    In the past, I've seen Sean Peyton and Drew Brees going over the gameplan for their upcoming opponents.  Peyton would constantly ask Drew which plays he liked and was comfortable running in particular situations and then he'd incorporate them into the game plan for that week.  

    Just recently, while watching the NFL Network, I just saw a nice piece on Belichick.  And I saw him and Brady doing the same thing with Brady telling him about a particular route and adding it to the plan.  

    Sincere question; I wonder if Harbaugh does that with Joe?

    I think what Mr. B helped do was take fans inside the thinking of he and the team. I've put my respect for Mr. B as a business man on full display and he only make me respect him more. He sat in front of a group of reporters who seemed more interesting in finding out when someone would lose their job rather than finding out about the team in some cases and was as honest as you'll see from most owners. '

    For him to paint that picture of what the team thought they'd get from Wright but didn't was great. I think sometimes as fans we think that every move the team makes should pan out and the reality is that sometimes you just miss. I love how he described the 2013 draft. Yes Ozzie missed on the 1st and 2nd round picks but that same drafted came away with the best NT and FB in the NFL and a top 10 RT who could easily develop into a top 5 guy. That's a pretty special draft for most people, but Ozzie has set such a standard and we the fans make sure to hold him to it. 

    He didn't have to open up about the Boldin situation but he did and that little tidbit should help fans understand how sometimes tough decisions have to be made. I bring that up because I think that type of decision will come up this year with both Pitta and Doom, maybe even Webb as well. 

    I love the way he spoke about how he loves his partners in Ozzie, Harbs and co and trust those guys. If running a NFL team is anything like running a business, it's rare to have a core group that absolutely loves working with each other but can also hold each other accountable for when things don't get done. The Ravens have a strong FO team and most teams hit a rough patch or two. The key is do you still trust those guys to get things right the ship. Mr. B talking about how the Ravens were basically a 21pt 4th quarter explosion by Pit away from the playoffs and how Harbs has never lost in the first round of the playoffs tells me he still trust Harbs to get the job done without a doubt. 

    Lastly, because I can talk about Mr. B all day, but I like how he kept telling reporters how he doesn't really judge the performance of his partners based on wins and losses. It's more about what happened that caused those down years. Even though he wasn't happy about the 2015 season he basically chalked it up to injuries and he was honest to say that he thought the knee still bothered Joe this year. It's so much more I could talk about but I don't want to write a essay 

    Bisciotti is the man!  I also appreciated how he called out players as well.  I absolutely enjoyed hearing what he had to say more than from Ozzie and John.

    Bisciotti is one smooth and cool cat!  I was so glad that the majority of the questions were directed towards him.  

    I really enjoyed his being frank and direct in his responses about his being "bewildered" about the team; in reference to the Ravens getting away from their true "identity" (which is running ball) and how the defense collapsed those last few games. I loved how he called out a few players by name as well in reference to their need for improvement and how they performed poorly.  

    I could have just listened to him alone the entire conference.  For me, there was really no need to hear from Ozzie or John.

    Ed hasn't said anything since leaving, but when he called him out after the Texans game he got backlash from fans here.  

     

    They always be made until he's either consistently good or consistently bad.  Until then, most of the criticism/praise is earned because you never know which guy you'll get.  I remember a former player... want to say Daniel Wilcox said Cam was holding him back in the past, so I don't think it's really anything new.  Haven't heard anyone who has left say anything negative except Ray.

    I don't have a problem with people with different opinions, but you seem to attack others for differing with yours, which is quite funny.  With the State of the Ravens finally over, might take a break to ignore people like you, so, see you next Tuesday, boss!

    ^ This!

    I like to here bisciotti talk and give uncut feelings to his employees because it makes them take notice. The media is asking the hard question, the uncomfortable question, and he has to give the hard answer about what he expects from his employees. No more hiding giving coaches one liners it's or a what I think might do in free agency answers from GM. It's real if u don't do it then what were u thinking in not doing it because it was asked in front of your boss. I want absolute undeniable accountability. I'm tired of the buddy buddy we going to Florida to have a meeting for 3-4 days. I want answers on why this team hasn't gotten into playoffs as consumer/fan. Firing isnt always the best way but accountability is the only way. Bisciotti we are watching because we as fans demand accountability from top to bottom in this organization.

    I loved hearing Bisciotti more than Ozzie and John.  It was great hearing how he thinks about things and his answers were so direct and frank without pulling any punches.  He even called out a few players by name in reference to their playing better, those who's performance fell off and even those who may possibly be released.  Real refreshing!

    Wasn't the Steelers game disgusting. We could have tromped all over the Dolphins. If Weddle, Orr and Mosley could have stopped 185 lb Antonio Brown from reaching the endzone, or the defense would have stopped any of those plays during that last drive, we would be in the drivers seat to beat NE and head to the big dance. Even PFT in their final ranking rated the Ravens and said it was a shame as it was one of the few teams that had the pieces to make it to the super bowl. Just not the defensive scheme to do so.

    And there's the dagger!!
