The Ravens have been in every single game, this one will be no different. Can't wait!
Play smart, efficient, and keep chugging away at the run game. Keep Pitt off the field.
Asiata, D. Martin, or Booker? All three are splitting carries. Martin has a tough one against Dallas. Sims is most likely to get the catches out of the backfield.
Then with Asiata, AP is back in the fold. And Denver can't run against anyone.

Because that's how you should handle adversity. Don't work on it to get better. Just go sulk about it after you throw a temper tantrum that would rival a three year old's.
Hilarious. A dude has a little fire in him so you break it down as a tantrum. He's a fierce competitor, sometimes it's okay to let it out. Maybe he should write Joey a strongly worded letter next time.

I can not fault a team for taking advantage of a situation, it is what you are suppose to do. Flacco and company did not do a good enough job moving the ball down the field, every nice gain on the ground felt like it was negated by a holding call, how many times did they force Flacco into a 2nd and long or 3rd and long thanks to holding calls?
Special teams did what they were suppose to do, and injected life into Flacco and the offense and they took advantage.
I'm not faulting the offense because of what the special teams did. I'm just saying prior to that, we were held scoreless, seemingly unable to move the ball into the red zone. I'm saying it was a very short field, not like he smoothly and methodically moved the team down the field. That's the deceit I was referring to.
He was efficient, but was throwing those shorter routes, and it's not too difficult to miss those passes to your backs. He had a decent game, but if someone came up to me and said, "I saw Flacco had a pretty great night," Id argue the fact.
TDs and yardage don't really tell the tale, at least not for me. If you actually watch the game, you can be the judge of how well he played. Once again, I fully support Flacco, but his play wasn't that good.

Defense and special teams lost this game.
Overall though we played one of the best teams in the league and made it competitive when it should have been a blow out.
I'm a supporter of Flacco, but those stats are deceiving. Those two TDs were set up because of our special teams, since you mentioned they lost the game for us. And he threw 52 times, he better break 300.

Saw that one coming. And brought in Hester for a work out.
Pats brought Hester in for a workout and like some of us predicted, claimed Michael Floyd off of waivers.
Good for him. They need to be ticked off.

That's the first team that came to mind. lol but he does have to go through waivers, right?

I'm not gonna go too off topic, but as an individual that studies law, the entire justice system is too harsh on marijuana use and at times it is excessive. However, it's "against the law," whereas alcohol is not, if you're the legal age. Hundreds of thousands are arrested each year on marijuana related charges, but alcohol is shown to be more dangerous, yet it's not illegal so...
But yeah, Floyd has underperformed, but I'd assume he'll be picked up by a potential playoff contender?

or
Tyrod Taylor (vs Browns)
tyrod has the better matchup but there's talk of him getting benched so idk which one to play
Panthers have given up a lot in the passing game, but I would keep an eye on Tyrod. Personally I'd use Kirk till the end, more consistent.

Luckily I kept him in both of my leagues.

And now released by Arizona.
Alshon worth starting after suspension?
@PuRock @Ravensfanspls @CognitiveCorvus I tried to message you guys, but it wouldn't let me. Currently have 6 of the 12 signed up for the ESPN switch. If you all send me your emails, I'll send you the invite so I can set rosters as soon as the season concludes before everyone scatters from the boards.
Saw a segment on NFL.com, buy or sell, and two analysts are buying the Ravens. One said we lose to Pitt, but beat Philly and Cincinnati and take a wildcard. The other said we beat Pitt and win the division. Some still believe! lol
These last three are very winnable like every other game the Ravens have been in. I felt like our game against Miami was the POTENTIAL of this offense. The absence of Jimmy hurts, but we clearly need depth at the cornerback position. I'm tired of our secondary being dependent on whether or not Jimmy is healthy. Same goes for wins and losses, all hinges on Jimmy.
I think we get back on track against the Eagles and then who knows against Pitt. Should be a good one, as always.
29 minutes ago, Ravengirl11 said:With Hester waived...I'm a little less nervous about special teams moving forward. He was by far the worst of the worst on that team
Hard to even be nervous when he doesn't even attempt to catch the ball. Being able to start with decent field position should help going forward.
All the games are close heading into round two outside of a potential upset with Team Smith and @Ravensfanspls who has a 42 point lead.
Hester gots to go and those passes under the line to gain were driving me crazy.
On the bright side, Dixon.
I mean Brashad has scored a touchdown in 3 of his last 4 games so it's POSSIBLE.
GAME DAY
If we lose this game, can't really have any excuses. This is the healthiest we've been in some time, our defense is number one in the league, and our offense is coming off their biggest output this season. Time to show that we belong!
Go Ravens!

That's what makes fantasy football so fun, unless you're on the other end as you were. But it can be unpredictable. Looks like the top two seeds might fall if it all plays out as is. @allblackraven and @Ravensfanspls
