JJ > Marlon Brown

how about neither

I assume he means Boldin, Mason, TJ, Sr, perhaps even Evans (at the time) and I bet there are a few I am missing. Its commonly known what we're better at signing older/aging FA receivers than we are at drafting them.

i gotcha, but we would have to wait until CJ is 33-34 years old until we pick him up to keep that trend going. because its always right after their prime.

the only value jones brings to the table at this point in his career is returning kicks/punts, which he has been terrible at in SD. ross has been doing a good job since we threw him back there. at this point the only reason we would make trades or pickups is to help the team in the future, not the present.

so simple answer: no, dont bring him back.

They have been known for bringing in big name receivers..and hed be a good fit especially with SS down. Is there money for it? What is he worth? 

the ravens are known for bringing in big name receivers? huh?

ex-nfl players with a legacy like ray lewis dont become coordinators lol

that deep ball to givens in the 2nd quarter was a thing of beauty.

I feel like Derrick Mason is being overlooked in some of these talks but I get it Steve Smith has been everything for this team. He's one of the greatest WRs of all time and gave us everything he had and MORE. The dudes a warrior nothing more to say but heal up SSS and GL with wherever you go from here. <3

All those people on NFL.com ragging on SSS make me sick to my stomach.

I doubt this'll be the last time he suits up. He isn't the kind of player to end his career like this. Even if he comes back next year and is at 50% he is good enough to be a #3. His season is over but I don't think his career is over just yet.

^^^^^ could totally see him playing one more year. coming back in halfway through next season and working him back into the offense as a #2 or 3 guy. it'll add another playmaker and do nothing but help the offense, which we all expect to be powerful this time next year if the organization plays their cards right.

work the offseason like he wont be around and lock up some new receivers for joe, but keep SSS on the roster and pray he comes back.

As much as i love this speech, and as much as i love ray. It really highlights our team right now, we won we are on life support, i even question that. But the fact that he has gotta tell the team to back flacco, when he even isnt on the team anymore, this speech may very well be a double edged sword. Basically how i feel the players took it was one of two things, they think that ray is right we arent done, lets rally around our captains and go on a run. OR they feel like the principle just showed them up in the auditorium for making fun of the chubby fat kid who crapped his pants. You get the message in the second part..., as much as we love ray and respect what he has done for this organization. You cant help but wonder if the players appreciated the speech as much as we did. Context people, i hate acting like a downer, but this speech could do more harm than good in the long run.    

you are looking too much into it man. our team is filled with young, inexperienced players, and people we picked up off the street. Ray was basically saying to those guys "this is your situation and its [profanity deleted]ty, but understanding the situation you are in, and putting in the time by following, studying, and rallying around the experienced guys like flacco will only make you better and succeed in the long run". i have absolutely no idea how that can do any harm at all. if a player wasnt into it or paying attention, it still wont do "harm". again, no idea where you came up with that idea.

mostly all those players mustve been listening and you can notice this simply by observing rays body language and tone increasing throughout the speech.  it was a great motivational speech, but thats pretty much it. he wasnt throwing anybody under the bus at all or vice versa. and to think it was just a gimmick speech before a game (in regards to your second example) is flat out silly.

lol did you see Maxx Williams bruh? He was about to explode lol. I kinda wish we got a panaramic view of the locker room.

 

It would be neat to see if this game/speech is another one of those "switch" games for Flacco. The loss to Denver during his Superbowl season comes to mind, when he was face down in the dirt. That was the last time we saw Flacco down, he was a man on a mission from that point on. 

yeah flacco usually plays best when his back is against the wall, and thats really the most a fan can ask from their players. everyone expects him to lead vocally but hes a leader in his own terms. he shows up when we need him to perform no matter whats going on around him. always cool and confident, thats how he leads. he doesnt buckle under pressure and his teammates notice this and rally around him by simply doing the same, staying calm and doing their jobs. this, i believe, is a MAJOR factor why we are within 3-6 points every single game this season. win or lose, we dont give up. this has a lot to do with flacco and harbaugh at the helm. sure, we can say ray lewis had a slight hand in the win, but he was not on the field for one play today.

if any fan or analyst still comes out to this day and claims flacco is not a leader, they are simply foolish imo.

was proud of our guys on offense after the great SSS was sadly escorted of the field. cant wait to see perriman in action. and i hope SSS comes back for one more season.

great speech. love me some ray lewis.

and i dont care what our teams record is, or how much "fla(cc)k" he gets from the media.

joe flacco is my quarterback. dude was stellar today, especially making something out of nothing with those awful snaps. flacc is the man. love watching him play. so calm in any situation.

I don't think we get blown out this year plus with Gates out I doubt the Chargers put up more than 30.

i dont think Gates will be that much of a factor. they already have enough talent on offense to put up serious points on our crippled secondary. so long as a healthy rivers is starting, it could get ugly. this may be the game that tips the team over the edge and really opens up a can for bisciotti. could result in the official firing of dean pees going into the bye.

the team can only hang on the cliff for so long until it they officially teeter off the edge into free fall. this game may do it.

Should've jumped on Wade Phillips when the chance presented itself. Guy is a genius

wade phillips would be legit. but im looking for someone more fresh like kacy rodgers or a sean mcdermott type.

if we lose this game (huge chance we will ), theres a chance we could go into the bye at 0-8 because of a missed kick a few weeks back. thats fun to think about.

Im not exactly sure if its the one im thinking of, but there was a PI call and it was the correct one, i think it was web too....He had his right arm hooked down. 

he had the back arm slightly hooked but its a newer rule they implemented. hooking that back arm. and it looked like an extremely loose grip.

another rule to make the NFL high scoring, entertaining, and rack in more money. but stupid rules like that cost games and its flat out detrimental to the overall quality of the game imo.

freeney wouldnt have done squat for our defense. he just got his first sack tonight this season and it was against none other than the worst offensive lineman in the league.... EUGENE MONROE

Well I have found one group related to football that I hate more than the Cheatriots. The zebras. I guess Brady was right. Harbs does need to read the rules since they seem to change between games. A guy is down and you can still take the ball as a fumble? A guy gets tackled and he can get up and run for additional yardage? Weird rules.

 

To follow the thread;

 

The good-the game was exciting and we were in it to the end

The bad-the crooked cheating referees

The ugly-the crooked cheating referees

dont forget the bogus "push" penalty called on asa jackson after the fumbled punt. like harbaugh said after the game, there was about 20 - 30 pushes on the field throughout the game tonight.

and that awful PI call on webb down in the red zone early in the game. just terrible, terrible calls. just let the guys play.

I'd be more interested to hear Ozzie's thoughts on the season so far. That'd be kind of cool if the GM did like a press conference during the season every once in awhile

honestly id rather listen to someone fresh with newer ideas, like de costa. would love to see him take over after this season.  this team needs new, young, and fresh ideas in management AND coaching. bring in a young buck as DC, bring in some dudes that will draw up some plays with high risk high reward type mentality. actually make sh#t happen and get the job done. finish games in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. bully the opponent around. bring in a younger, smarter rex ryan. thats exactly what this defense needs.

hes thinking a lot of things obviously. but ill tell you right now the most important thing he is thinking is which small amount of players are worth KEEPING, not getting rid of this off-season. thats how bad it is.. thats how much we need to completely revamp this team.

only person that will be fired, if there is any firings, is pees. unless we have a crazy late season run with a strong defensive effort, which we all know WILL NOT happen lol.

trestman is safe. lots of people dont realize it because the defense is so atrocious, but the offense has been ranked 9th best for the past few weeks. i think we bumped down a few after tonights game, but regardless our O isnt that bad we just need better WR's. hes doing a decent job for what he has.

only way harbaugh gets fired is if they continue to lose the next 2 seasons at least. it took 3 losing seasons until bisciotii canned billick after the 2000 super bowl. and harbaugh has a much better track record. it would be foolish to let him go after one failed season.

Highly doubt it, if the Colts have failed so miserably this year with the abundance of talent they have why would another team jump right on board with Pagano who couldn't get the job done with a top notch QB, array of offensive weapons, and is supposedly a defensive minded coach who's defense has performed terribly. The situation he would be entering would almost certainly be less advantageous.

 

To me him walking away from coaching is more likely than him getting an immediate redemption at HC elsewhere.

not sure what team youre watching, but the colts arent that talented. andrew luck is literally the only talent on their team. andre johnson and frank gore are old and washed up. terrible pick ups in the offseason. the problem with indy is the management, not chuck pagano.

if he hits the open market he'll get snapped up in no time.

even if you do want to live in imaginary land and say chuck pagano isnt a good coach and no one will want him. dont need to look any further then rex ryan, jack del rio, jim caldwell, lovie smith, etc etc etc etc

hasnt this idea already come and gone?

if he leaves Indianapolis he'll head coach somewhere else not a coordinator, and that's if he even decides to stay in the league. people really need to give this up.

i don't quite see how we can beat the cards or chargers, or really any of those teams, the only team I legitimately think we have a chance against is the Dolphins. You can say we're still mathematically in it but it's very hard to say we're good enough to win those games

the dolphins? you serious? lol.. they are arguably one the hottest teams in football right now.
