Let me tell you something right now, I don't care how much time you put in practicing, I don't care how much time you put in learning your craft, stupid mistakes will undermine everything you've practiced and will bring the house down around you. For its very hard to overcome mistakes when you don't have much time left on the clock or no time left on the clock. I know mistakes will be made but some of them will cost you dearly and will ruin your run to the playoffs not even talking about the Superbowl. So saying that, mistakes have to be kept to a minimal all the time, or you will wish that mistakes were not made, for they can be very costly for everyone involved!!!

And Harbaugh was also right when he said its the whole teams fault coaches and players, for this is not how the Ravens played who won the Superbowl and playing like this will not win us another Superbowl because we'll probably wined up in last place if we keep playing like this.

Harbaugh said it right, the defense messes up, and it's really no excuse for it for they were stupid mistakes made that I would expect rookies to make, but veterans were making these mistakes and in the process of making them they made sure we lost. They might as well been playing for the Raiders. And saying I messed up its my fault does not replace a lost, for we are 0 and 2 now because of it. This is not playing like a Raven, this is playing like losers, this has got to be turned around and the ones who make these stupid bonehead mistakes need to be held accountable with stupid out of your mind fines. If they want to make stupid bonehead mistakes then they need to be fined a stupid amount of money like $50,000.00 dollars, I bet you they would stop making those stupid mistakes then!!!

And another thing what we have to do is think outside of the box, you just cannot do what you always did to win in the NFL today, I don't care if you are a passing coordinator or heavy on the run, you just cannot afford to do the same thing all the time because they are prepared for you for they know just what you are going to do and are "PREPARED" for that. Stop being hardheaded, because it is not about you, it's about the team. And if the only thing you can think about is the way I do things, then you need to be fired and replaced for you have to think outside of the box in this game today. The Patriots I cannot stand, but they always think outside of the box and are always prepared to do whatever they have to do to win. How come we can't be like that? The Patriots stay at the top, when was the last time they were in last place!!!

You know I can't even understand how they can even think about giving up on Suggs, I mean the Ravens are still trying to recover from all the superbowl players that they released and we still haven't recovered from that yet. So we got rid of Torey Smith and the only real wide receiver we had in this game was Steve Smith Sr. Seems to me saving money is more important that winning, so being cheap is going to get you no playoffs, remember you get what you pay for. You don't want to pay anybody the money they deserve like you did Flacco, then you wind up in a bind like this. We are now 0 and 2, where do we go from here, I guess we'll see hu, because now we have serious contenders to deal with over these next few games. Now Jernigan messed up and so did hill because they were not thinking, which is why we lost the game for we gave the Raiders 20yards and put them 1st and 10 at the goal line, we shot our ownselves in the foot!!!

You know first downs lead to touchdowns, so you don't always need to throw the bomb, take what the defense will give you and don't try to force it, when there's an easy first down. For as long as we can keep the opposing defense on the field the tireder they will get and when they get tired that will open up room for the bomb, I'm just saying!!!

I always say that action speak louder than words and show me what you can do instead of telling me. But people always come up with excuses, if you can do better than do it on the field, someone said we know we can do better, the coaches know we can do better, than do better is what I say. Understand talking and actually doing it is two different things okay, so show Ravens Nation what the Ravens can really do!!!

The Ravens have tunnel vision when it come to the offensive line, if Flacco was truly an "ELITE" QB he would see the whole field and all the open receivers. You cannot afford to be zeroed in on one player who's doubled teamed then throw to that person instead of throwing to the ones who are wide open, you have to be able to see the whole field to be the elite QB. Now I also understand Flacco having no time to throw because of the breakdown of the offensive line. But when DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller are on your behind those guys are just hard to stop for they are exceptional players, so we truly have to have a major game plan for them and players on other teams like them if we can. But for Flacco to act like he was scared does nothing to help the team, you can't get scared, you accepted the money for the position, you call yourself elite prove it, for being elite is about being aggressive and taking a blow and not get scared get up and get the job done. For I've seen many QB's on different teams over the years take serious blow, and get up and win the game. But I'm telling you now, if it gets to the point where you get scared when you get hit hard, because this game is about hard knocks, you are in the wrong job, because the hits are not going to stop.

Right now this ship is taking on water, lets see if we can fix the leaks and make a run at the Superbowl!!!

It's not about Steve being able to return the ball of course he can do that, but if he gets hurt and is not part of the WR's, then what? Can we really afford to have Steve return balls? I don't think so! And if he does and get hurt who's at fault, Harb, for putting him out there. One thing we are Raven Fans have to understand don't risk a man out of his position, I mean playing football period is a risk on your body all the time and we all know that, but take the risk playing your position, not outside of your position. For if Steve gets hurt we've lost a returner and a WR. So that's two positions compromised because this decision was not thought through completely. Yeah, I understand the idea of next man up, but do we truly have a next man up for Steve, who can give us what Steve gives us as a WR, we better think about that, I mean I'm just saying!!!

Seeing that Magee is a running he should have some moves when it comes to returning the ball!!!

This is just a mess because we don't have a return man, got rid of Jacoby and now Asa, who you gonna call the ghost busters? That ain't gonna work!!!

I believe Ozzie and John got angry because they lost the game and took it out on Asa, even though it was a bigger reason than Asa why they lost, they just didn't play well enough to win through the whole game!!!

You know, fumbles and interception are a part of football, and no I don't want that to happen to the Ravens, but every team in the NFL make them every year. The best teams and the worse teams have them every year, so why are talking about that when it comes to Asa, was he the only one to fumble in preseason!!!

We should have kept Asa, I'm just saying, he was a hell of a return man, that alone should have kept him here. A lot of people fumble, a lot of people threw interceptions, but to give away your best return man. And then on top of that, you say Camp is going to replace him, I don't think Camp is as fast as Asa nor can he make the moves that Asa makes, and he doesn't stay healthy, but you chose him as the return man. Well, you made some bonehead decisions before when you got rid of Bolden, is this another one of them???

We should have kept Asa, I'm just saying!!!

People say preseason games don't count, but they do, as confidence builders, now this Saturday at 7:30pm we have a great chance to build some serious confidence against the Redskins that will take us to Denver to beat the Broncos, which I believe we can do!!! GO RAVENS!!!

Webb is missing to much time for the past few years and I hope Camp is not going to be like Webb, out more than he is in!!!

Well, we find out that the hit by Suggs on Bradford was legal, Suggs knew that but it seems like the Ref's didn't know that. It's their job to know and they will mess up every game if they don't know the rule book, and if they don't know the rule book why are they getting paid??? For they caused the Ravens to have a 15 yard penalty because they didn't know the rules. How can you be a NFL Referee and not know the NFL rule book that you are supposed to know, maybe that should be investigated when the NFL is putting an inferior product on the field to referee the games!!!!

Not to many people were playing like a Raven out there yesterday until around the 4th Quater, all the penalties we accumulated early in the game, we shot our own selves in the foot, and then acted like it didn't matter. Arguing with the ref like you going to change his mind and his mind did not change, we still got the 15 yd penalty that put us in a bind. One thing we have to understand, the Ravens play the game but the refs call the game and will call it as they see it and not the way we want them to call it, even if we think they are wrong, so when you are out there on the field make the best decision you possibly can to help the team and not hurt them, and remember always PAY LIKE A RAVEN, GO RAVENS!!!

I meant to say "But lets not make the next time around look like this!!!"

Yeah, we did have a bad game and they do happen to the best of us in the NFL, but lets not go into the regular season playing like this, for whatever could happen to us yesterday did happen to us yesterday, but lets make the next time around look like this!!!

The only problem Camp has is staying healthy, if he can do that, he got the job, because he will go up and get the ball, and I haven't seen to many players on the Ravens wanting to do that in the slot because that requires putting your body in harms way!!!

You know before I say that the secondary is better than they were at the end of last year, I have to see them in action against another team running full tilt. Because in order to truly know that regular season is the test. Not OTA's or anything else regular season on the field play is where the truth is told, I don't care who believes what, you have to perform when it counts and it doesn't count until regular season, so I'll wait and see before I say anything!!!

Injuries are a funny thing in the NFL, you just don't know when they will happen!!! But like what was said above, being healed is different then being in football shape, for in football it's a constant hitting and jarring of the body. Will the healing come undone? Who knows!!! But we do know one thing, everyone's body is different and heals completely at a different level over time, and only time will tell!!! I truly hope that Pitta is healed completely and can take the hitting and the jarring that come along with NFL football for Pitta is one of the best tight ends in the NFL and we need him!!! But some injuries do take longer then others to heal, but we will see!!!
