And yes there is something distinctly wrong with our O, only calling 17 run plays when West is dominating in the first quarter, but calling them when we are first-and-twenty & second-and-eighteen ... makes me think Trestman is a Steelers mole or something.

Watching this game in a bar on the other side of the planet with a bunch of skins fans at the next table (what are the odds) .... Watching this game made me feel like a Browns fan, it really did.

thats what happens wen u run the ball and off course stupid flacco shows up..

 

you watchin a delayed telecast dude?

qb sneak it is

qb sneak

Trestman dialing up 3 and 4 yard passes on 2nd/3rd and fifteen, bloody hell

lol, just noticed Daniel(?) isn't looking too chipper in that photo, must have gotten a scolding or been having a bad-hair day .... chin up little guy :-)

Congratulations to Joe and the family, couldn't happen to a nicer guy :-)

Hoping Ronnie can play, but not at the expense of his continued health. Having Yanda able to kick out to RT provides even more options, but having two OL sitting out makes us look pretty thin there.

thats what happens when you let all pros go via free agency.

All right I'll bite, who are they and how much would they have cost us (so we can tally it up like)

and the big winner today ... the Ravens Roster, unless I forgotten something we had a clean sheet healthwise today, booyahhh, guess those lentil-burgers are paying dividends.

Barring too many injuries I think we are going to re-enter the golden age we had going since '08, and yeah Flacco is gonna be like a kid in a candy-store this year (I hope).

Coversation starts
"Justin we need to keep Davis and Elam in the 53 man rota until monday before we can IR them, if we give you a $100k bonus would you resign monday ??"

Wish my boss had a 53 man roster ... That's gonna be a nice set of wheels for Justin's family, glad he is back, and our OL looks pretty sweet this year.

Best wishes to Perriman, hope he can stay upright and go vertical. And yeah, would love to see our second team bring it to their firsts.

Always thought Torrey should have auctioned some of his dreads off individually for charity. I woulda bid on one :-)

Hell maybe he did and I just didn't hear about it.

Anyway hope Breshad has a great year and quiets all the doubters (including me a little bit i guess)

I have this nightmare that Camp makes the team, Reynolds get placed in PS, gets stolen by another team after a week one injury, and Camp gets injured week 2. Seriously I like Camp, he's got skills and guts, but the lad's body just isn't NFL-proof, hope I am wrong.

Hoping we get a reboot of the Sizzle-'14 edition, that guy was pure beast-mode

• Looking forward to more of this:
•  
• and also seeing what the young bloods can do.  
• That pic was my desktop wallpaper for a good many months, always brings a smile.

Since 2008 I kind of feel like it's been the decade of AFC-N, sending at least two teams to the playoffs in all but one year, and yeah I reckon AFC-N will be sending at least two teams to the playoffs again this season, including our Ravens.

Divisions - Playoff berths, since '08  

AFC-E   -   10  
AFC-N   -   17   
AFC-S   -   10   
AFC-W   -   11   
NFC-E   -   10   
NFC-N   -   14   
NFC-S   -   12   
NFC-W   -   12

Don't get me wrong I like Joe, more and more with every year. But shortsighted fans need to face reality - Flacco is highly overrated...

You're right, Flacco isn't the best there is, and I am sure there are some who over-rate him.  But I think most of us don't, we have a pretty realistic view of him as we watch him every week.  We know he has poor pocket awareness sometimes, takes forever on his reads sometimes, makes some bad decisions sometimes, and gets rattled after five or six sacks (just like that number 12 and every other QB haha).

Yeah he has those odd weeks where he'll throw 3 or 4 interceptions, but when you go and look at them, usually a couple of them will be the receiver's fault, not Joe's.  When he throws an interception at crucial times, it's because Flacco's one of those guys whose thinking "if this one sticks, we're gettin a W" rather than thinking "gosh if I get intercepted here, imagine the article about me on nfl.com, lets just settle for the close L".  The guy chances his arm, and I respect that.

You can talk down the 11-0 superbowl run performance as much as you want, and we all love Torrey, Q, Pitta and Jacoby, but come on they were hardly the best receiving corp in the league. Frankly Joe's never had that, maybe this year if everyone stays healthy and Perriman performs to his billing.

The thing that sticks most in my recent memory is the divisional playoff game against the patriots last year, we lost that one, but I think you could safely say Joe was about the only guy who planted a flag on Revis Island that season.  We call him January Joe for a reason, because he doesn't get carried to the Lombardy like several other QB's I could mention (cough that 70's guy in black and gold and every Broncos SB cough)

A guy at work once said to me "you'd trade him for Brady wouldncha" ... and gave me that look when I just looked him in the eye and said "nup"

Looking at the team roster I can't help feeling like we're deep everywhere except ILB and S this year, touch wood the injury bug is past.

A midget who's a couple of yards short of a 10K-yard career...

a midget whose concussions are probably the only thing holding him back from going a couple more seasons and earning the gold jacket (he might get it anyway for what he did for the slot receiver position).

I like Wes, because his play against the Ravens made me jump up and down with fury more than a few times, and would love to see him as a coach for the Ravens.

Congratulations to the Tucker family. 

And I don't know about anyone else but i think I'm seeing some quarterback hands in that picture. 

Ok for all the talk of First Round busts, an article on nfl.com shows the teams who are and aren't picking up fifth year options on their 1st rounders from 2013. Interesting to note that 14 of the 32 teams aren't exercising the fifth year option on their first rounders, and this includes six of the top ten picks from that year.

Always wanting the best for Matt, and while he's still part of the squad, the opportunity is there. Go get it Matt.

On our secondary as a whole, I don't think we've played more than three straight games with the same starters in the last two years due to injuries, if we can get the same four guys on the field for more than just a couple of games, maybe they can start to gel. Here's hoping.
