This was the Ravens team we all have been waiting to see, with the offensive additions made over the last couple of years. If they can maintain this type performance in the coming weeks, then we are indeed a very dangerous team to face. We all know NE doesn't like facing us as it is, and now, after this past Sunday, they really have some thinking to do. I pray we can repeat Sunday's performance and smack the Pats - come on, the Jets almost beat them last week, so it is indeed possible. GO RAVENS !!

In this era of me (and $) first, who in the world does this??
To:
1) - Play hurt
2) - switch positions while hurt
3) - ask the coach to do so for the benefit of the team

True meaning of a team player - way to go Yanda!!

Is Hester fielding kicks this week??

Really think they should consider sitting Webb - he has looked bad this year. Trouble is, who do you play in his place? Elam? Yikes!

Don't care about the division ranking - better to be 1st in the "worst" division, than last in the "best" division!

Suggs and Doom can't (and shouldn't have to) play almost every defensive snap for 4 quarters anymore.

They should play more, even when Suggs and Doom are healthy. It will keep a fresher rotation on the field, and give them necessary experience and learning on the job. It will also keep the offenses guessing more will additional looks on our defense.

They seem to forget that even in the beginning of the year, when basically everyone was still healthy, we still managed to barely beat those teams (Browns). You think it is really gonna make a difference when we still have to face Pitt twice, Cinn twice, Philly, Dallas, & NE?

“We believe in the things we’re doing. We just want to do them better, game-plan them better, scheme them better, block them better and all of those sorts of things.” Yeah, keep believing in things that have not worked - brilliant.

Will he go back to playing his more natural SS spot?

So,this was our one "designated to return" slot from IR?
Hopefully, he can make an impact and redeem himself.

Instead of trying to "find the Killer instinct", how about trying to find the endzone!

The Ravens never seem to have to same mentality of, let's say, NE or Pitt - to never let up the pressure on offense (or defense) and try to score every drive. We get a lead, and seem to back off and coast, and get burned every time and have to try to play catch-up (obviously not working). Same for the defensive side, we get a lead, go into the "prevent defense" and we get killed. KEEP THE PRESSURE ON - THE WHOLE GAME. Of course, at this point, I'm not even sure we can, given the healthy players and play schemes we are running.

Maybe Joe needs to sit a game. The way he's been harassed by opposing defenses he may have his head in a funk about getting injured again. He doesn't seem to be playing with authority this year (of course, it's hard when you're running for your life 80% of the time.)

Agreed, hate to say it, but I both he and Suggs are pretty much done by now - they can't stay healthy, and it takes too long for them to recover. Turn the young studs loose.

I have no problem with the 4th and 1 at the goaline call. I have a problem with the plays that were called in the series - all runs to the middle (telegraphed). The whole defense (and everyone else) knew what was coming with the alignment of the offense.

What about Clausell on the Practice squad? Can he play RT? Then keep Yanda as RG.

Certainly need the help on the line; hopefully, he can contribute. Makes you second guess the Long non-signing, but he may have cost too much anyway.

Nice coaching philosophy Tomlin. No wonder we think you guys are a bunch of thugs. We don't hate one Steelers player, we hate the whole team and organization.

I think I'd rather have an 80% Stanley over a 100% Hurst playing - Hurst was playing when Joe got hurt last year (he was blocked into Joe though). Run to Yanda's side as much as we can

Yeah, what's he mad about ??? Ravens offered him #1 guard money at the time; the Raiders just offered (a lot) more, so he ran for the money. His choice, live with it. Love how some players bash on their previous organization when all the really want to do is chase the money. If that's your thing, just say so.
BTW - hope he gets stomped on Sunday.

Plus, it's another AFC conference game - we could be 4-0 against conference teams, which could help down the road with playoff seeding.

Again, no mention of Juice. Gets no respect (and is underutilized).

Gonna have to actually look at the game-day book at the stadium Sunday to track the new numbers!

Kinda unfortunate name for an athlete, isn't it - Fales ?
Hope it is not a premonition.
