Alaska Alaska!

BWill is a fool, love it.

@AZRaven I'd agree on some of the playcalling. Definitely questionable at times.

DVOA has the Ravens with the 13th best pass defense. Takes into account down and distance, score, and opponent strength. Just putting that out there.

Also, Ravens have the best passer rating allowed in the red zone at 33.3. Next closest? Giants at 73.4

You already know the deal! We gotta get this win!

That number one seed is wide open considering how the Patriots and Broncos have been playing. We NEED this win.

Well the Giants were the away team...

That's what I was asking

It was only a stat from a sports network. That is all. Soon to be forgotten. Baseball has the most insignificant stats.

I LOVE it! I remember catching that live and getting chills of excitement. Its going to be a fun one on Sunday.

That low-key got me more excited for this game.

Yeah, I think this division is back to being the best in football. If not for 2 really, really close division losses for the Browns, even they look like a good team this year.

For the record, I never praised him.

Neither did I, lets keep drafting defense and not see an improvement....hmmm

Why? We've been hitting defense very hard for years - the top 3 picks in each of our last 2 drafts, and the top pick in each of our last 5, have been defensive players. Last time we took offensive player round 1 was Oher, last WR round 1 Clayton (10 years ago next draft). At a certain point, the guys we drafted need to play up to expectations, and we need to think about the long-term future of our offense as well.

Because of the fumbles? How can he concentrate when his team is getting obliterated. If we had kept him we would have the future running back especially now that Rice is gone. They really did blow it with him.

Rainey isn't very good. Vastly inconsistent play, and even on the Bucs, he requires multiple injuries to even get a start.

And no juan, there is no excuse for fumbling twice. Concentration, regardless of the score, shouldn't be an issue for a PROFESSIONAL football player.

True. Did he feel compelled to comment about Big Ben and what he did to those women? TWICE. No punishment from the Steelers on that either. Just sayin.

Tell him there are more important matters like taxes, ISIS, Ebola, jobs and a worthless Congress he should concern himself with.

We were actually better when we were known as thugs. So this doesn't really hurt my feelings at all. Keep calling us thugs.

I have no issue in us being perceived by everyone that way. I just wish our D had that swagger to go with it.

All I gotta to them is what a famous Baltimore QB once said "Talk is cheap, let's go play!"

well the early run game looked a lot like last year.

It's just not the same as fan made ones : (

True but I actually thought this one on-site was pretty darn good.

Indeed in it was/is pretty good!

I seen a fairly large amount of the writers say we probably will be in the playoffs

That's because the Ravens didn't envision having Pitta go down or an anemic run game. The offense had carried them through the previous season while the defense was historically bad. The offense only lost Boldin and Birk, so there wasn't a reason to believe that there would be a drop off of epic proportions, but injuries will do that to a unit

Yes injuries will do that when you have zero depth. Sure, there will be a drop off with injuries anyway usually. But not that big if you have any depth at all. Now we get to my point - we still have zero depth.

They didn't have great depth on defense, but they dedicated free agency to the offense and the draft to the offense. They didn't just neglect the offense

A lot of the highly acclaimed 1st round players also have an injury bug. Even Calvin Johnson gets injured. Secondly, Brown doesn't need to be a #1 receiver. The Ravens don't need to be a top 10 offense. They just need to have a fluid offense. Rather have a dominate defense and a scoring/game managing offense than vice versa.

so basically you would be ok with 2 number 2 WRs in the future because that's what it looks like

Maybe we just can't develop #1 receivers, which is why we end up bringing in vet WR (who end up being the #1). But you know what? That formula has worked for us in the past. If anything, I'm more concerned about RB than a receiver.
