I wholeheartedly agree. I quit coming to this site because of this fact.

You are probably right, but I have always pictured this nonetheless, as the Ravens media does glean through social media.

The big piece that's not being mentioned is the forum having critical analysis of players, coaches, and the organization while "officially" being linked to the Baltimore Ravens. That can be very conflicting from a media perspective. Too easy to find negative press and/or "near" insider information and evaluations, no matter how off-base they may be.

Yes. I feel like it was planned obsolescence.

I personally think and IIRC, when the past format changes to the BaltimoreRavens.com website were enacted, the link to the forums became obscure; initially, I couldn't find the forum/boards link again. I think this change, plus the fact that the Ravens have cast a less that stellar product on the field has definitely led to this board's demise. Case in point, the "Join the Conversation" link has disappeared on the website, pointing to the ominous sign of the forums going dark. I'm sure many didn't even realize this piece. I'm willing to bet those changes to a more mobile friendly, but less visually spectacular website killed things. Too bad, as this board was the bees-knees.

There is also: Extreme Ravens: http://forums.extremeravens.com/ and Footballs Future: http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=8 and Baltimore Sports and Life (I really like this site): http://www.baltimoresportsandlife.com/forum/index.php?/forum/4-baltimore-ravens/ Of course there are russellstreetreport.com and YBR/scout Ravens forums. This made me get nostalgic for the original and genesis of why many moved here, the Baltimore Sun sunspot forums. I may be incorrect, but I think the talk forums on Baltimore Sun may no longer be behind a paywall: http://talk.baltimoresun.com/forum/7-ravens/ I miss those days.

Just start a new Facebook group to create and post topics. It works similar to the boards or move to another board. Russell Street Report, Your Baltimore Ravens (scout), Extreme Ravens, Baltimore Sports and Life.

Your giving way too much credit to this year's draft class. I say 7 make the roster. Two are PS, two will be IR'ed. Reynolds, Canaday - PS Moore, Judon - IR

I totally agree. I see high round bust written all over him. He makes up for his deficiencies with his athleticism.

Please, man! Doom gets sacks because of Suggs.

We did the same thing with Leach. Juice is an offensive crunch, not a bell cow; and that is a problem.

Having Juice on this squad really kills the opportunity to have a max number of playmakers on the squad. But with that said, Juice really got better and showed something in the last quarter of the season.

They moved Waller to TE because he's not a good enough WR to make the squad at WO. Putting him at TE gives him an opportunity to make the squad in the absence of Boyle. If Waller makes the squad, he will be put on IR once Boyle comes back. Book it.

Camp IS a special player.

Waller sucks.

Matthews took over for Waller on ST. What is it about Waller that makes ANYONE think he has a shot to make this team next year????? He's a 7th rounder and he is a developmental player. Camparnero is wayyyy better. Matthews is much better. If Camp is healthy though training camp, he will be on the team. Don't you think the Ravens learned this year what you get out of developmental players???

Why do we never play New England or Dallas at home?

Butler is playing lights out. He is the current #2 receiver for the Ravens. You forgot about him. Clay is probably the odd man out when Camp comes back. Waller will be cut. SSSr - wild card 2) Aiken 3) Perrriman 4) Butler 5) Campernaro 6) Matthews 7) Draft pick - if no pick, Givens

He didn't look to good today. I like the kid though.

The pants looked great!!!!

Well, I'll be!!! Creaky muscles and joints!

Man, that's a 0-16 squad you've assembled there.

Phantom IR move to get young guys on the field.

Are you serious? LoL

I smell a trade next year. Also, What do you envision the TE order to be eventually?
