      Nah... even the Skins losing won't make me completely happy. It will only give me a smirk and a chuckle.

      Well Washington didn't lose but we got to see Dallas melt down on prime time television so that isn't too bad

      Your prediction is a cause for us to excell as they were under dogs playing in Cowboy world.

  2. Alaska Alaska!

    AFC North is looking GOOD!

      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.

    All week long...Over and over again.. I kept saying "Stop underestimating the Jags" "We don't have the luxury of resting players". Some of you obviously havent seen the Jags play. They play tough on DEF. TOUGH. This won't be a shoe-in win.

  4. Alaska Alaska!

    As much as I'm not happy about the possibility of us not making the playoffs, I can still see the positives of having winning seasons despite us being in rebuilding modes with 2013 and 2014. But after reading these boards, I'm truly convinced that a lot of Ravens fans cannot cope with mediocrity. From "let's bench Flacco" to "We need to fire Ozzie and Harbs", for the well being of Ravens fans, I don't think this team can afford to not be champions of something...

      I don't think he let that get to him. He stayed on as DC until he was offered a HC job.

      We are rebuilding s much as people don't see that. Our time will come, just as it did in 2012. Patience is key. successful seasons as we have had throughout the years has become an expectation. We should appreciate it so much more than we do.

      As you know I am Not a neg, doom & gloom fan.Its the positive that Ray Lewis embeded in us.

  5. Alaska Alaska!

    At least we still have Ozzie, Harbs and DeCosta

      If I have faith in anything Ravens related, it's in Ozzie and Harbs. Not saying they're always right...but I still have major faith in them

      it doesn't help that the best are gone already. I'm having OC Castillo anxiety attacks lol

      I'm interested in Greg Knapp. But let's see how these guys do. I can't knock them yet

  6. Alaska Alaska!

    Based on the Playoff predictions from other online fans, the Ravens truly are gonna be under the radar

    1. ravensnick

      ravensnick

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

  7. Alaska Alaska!

    Beating the Steelers aside, ya know one other reason I really want us to win? So we can end the talks of "This team can't do anything without Ray and Ed"

  8. Alaska Alaska!

    Blame Pees huh? You think Rex would do better? Pagano? Wade? We don't have the personnel to even press a sandwich together. The coach can only do so much. Ozzie is the only one who can fix that secondary.

      Exactly! And we had Cam! Exact same situation.

    3. Ravenslifer

      @redrum52 we've spent plenty of picks on the secondary. From 09-14 we've had 18 draft picks first 3 rounds not including the comp for Gilmore. We've spent 2 first rounders and 2 3rd rounders on secondary players or 22 percent of all picks. If we include pass rushers, that's another 3 picks, total of over 40 percent of early draft picks on pass defense. As far as offense, from 2008 until now we ranked 11th, 9th, 16th, 12th, 10th, 25th, and are currently 6th in offense this...

    4. SeaHawk

      This defense will not improve until we see a change in the coaching philosophy. When one scheme isn't working, change it up, disguise it, do something. Not every defense is perfect, but some are just great at masking those weaknesses. That's not Pees' strength.

  9. Alaska Alaska!

    Calling it now, Jimmy is gonna get an INT against Dalton!

      he seems to have daltons number. lets hope he shadows AJ and we dont end up seeing chykie trying to run down the sideline with him

    4. stampedehero

      I predict one for him and one for Hill

  10. Alaska Alaska!

    Defense provides offense 4 turnovers, holds top scoring offense to 20 points, and yet people complain about Pees? Are you serious?!

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

    3. BmoreBird22

      BmoreBird22

      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.

    4. BmoreBird22

      BmoreBird22

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

  11. Alaska Alaska!

    Even after our losses I still love the Ravens! (But seriously guys, stop losing)

      That is why we are here expressing ourselves.

  12. Alaska Alaska!

    From the domestic assaults issues, to topsy turvy performances from all NFL teams, devastating loses (Victor Cruz, Pitta), unexpected off the field injuries (Cam Newton and Eric Berry), and a hell of a lot more....This has to be one of the most emotional seasons in NFL history

    Here I was at work excited that we extended Jimmy's contract, only to come on the boards to see ppl whining about the $$$. As if he was gonna get paid any less elsewhere.

      Like many have said, if he can stay away from the accidental injuries he'll be one heck of a ball player for this organization! I love watching Jimmy play, let's go Ravens!

      Real football Ravens fans will know how much Jimmy is worth for the Ravens....The new contract is a steal....his injury is just bad luck and nobody has bad luck all the time....

  18. Alaska Alaska!

    I get it.. it's all business, but I'm really sad to see JJ gone. The man REALLY wanted to be a Raven. Even left abandoned a meeting w/ the Giants last season. I hope he retires a Raven.

    1. ravensdfan

      ravensdfan

      Yes, expected but I will miss JJ a lot. Love him.

  19. Alaska Alaska!

    I have a confession to make. I like the Ravens v. Pats rivalry better than BAL vs. PIT rivalry. BAL vs PIT is physical, but BAL vs NE? It's like Batman vs Joker, Ying and Yang, Cat vs Dog, Light vs Dark, etc

      I think Ravens-Patriots is more of a playoff rivalry. Hopefully we renew it next weekend.

    3. stampedehero

      stampedehero

      +I also think its a playoff rivalry simple because we have to deal with Pitts twice a season, then compete all season for top seed

      I like it too. Street fighters vs the martial artists. Bruce Willis vs the die hard bad guy.

    I just saw a Bills hype video for this season. I've seen one for the Broncos, Giants, and Eagles.....where's our Ravens Hype video!? I iz sad : (

      It was a shame to see that long reception called back last game. He could again be a surprise X factor in the upcoming games.

      Give him a chance for some recieving work in sunny Miami

  22. Alaska Alaska!

    I wouldn't, necessarily, mind losing to the Pats if their fans and media weren't so arrogant. The Pats are a damn good team and are probably the best team in the AFC. It's a shame that the attitude of their supporters mess things up for the likability of their team

      Especially "fans" and sports writers of the last decade. If you happen to mention how the Pats have sucked the majority of their existence they're either oblivious or pretend that era never happened.

  23. Alaska Alaska!

    I'd like to imagine that Gary said the following in his decision to stay "When you think of BAL no one thinks of the OFF. What if I can be the one to change that? A Hardnosed offense paired with a smashmouth defense?"

    1. ravensdfan

      ravensdfan

      and we get that smashmouth defense when? lol

    2. Alaska Alaska!

      Alaska Alaska!

      All we need a four good ones in the secondary

  24. Alaska Alaska!

    I'm a very optimistic person. I thought the Chiefs were gonna beat the Chargers. I thought we'd beat the Steelers. But even I don't believe Gary's coming back.

    1. BmoreBird22

      BmoreBird22

      People act as if there wasn't an enormous chance he would be a head coach and one and done.

  25. Alaska Alaska!

    I'm not trynna be that guy...but SOOO many people are hyping us. "NE is scared of BAL". I'ma say it now, come gameday, NE's gonna wanna do more than just win. They're gonna do their best to try and bury and embarrass us. Definitely not saying they will, but they're not gonna be playin just to get the W. I'm jus sayin

      I still have faith we'll win, I'm jus sayin the Pats are gonna be playing to humiliate us rather than just win the game

    3. AsianRice

      AsianRice

      Is there something new about this? They run up the score all the time and media doesn't say crap about it; then when we run up the score, media and fans get pissed off...It is man football so if you can't stop them from scoring, it is your fault....

    4. Minionhunter

      Minionhunter

      If they try to play to humiliate us, that will be their downfall. I just want us to play better than they do to the extent where we win at the end. The rest is meaningless.
