Daft Classic

Yeah this definitely isn't a trap game. Raiders are a scary team with the #2 offense and a strong up and coming defense. It's going to be a real test to see if we are actually as good as our record says

Really hope they put Jimmy on Crab. I'm not saying this because Jimmy is bad, but Cooper burned Smith pretty badly last year. Meanwhile, Smith has historically done well on Crab. Really want to see Young more often, and hopefully Powers gets a chance to finally play

Win your home games, split on the road. That's how you win a division. Currently halfway to the necessary road record and 1/4 of the way to the needed win total 3 games in

Tavon Young is a monster, Judon needs to see the field more, I can't wait for Doom and KD, and Wright and Zuttah need to get their stuff together

Also, please remember Perriman has played a grand total of 3 NFL games. He is going to have bad games, but oh boy when he breaks out

I don't mean to be negative, but I can't boast too loudly about our receivers when the steelers are sitting there with a rediculous corps. Yes, better than we have had in past years, but we are far from the best group.

Brown > Any receiver we've ever had. But beyond that, what makes their WR's so ridiculous? Take away Brown, and what do they have? Wheaton hasn't played this year, and Coates really isn't all that. Would much rather have SSS, Wallace, Aiken, and Perriman than Brown, Wheaton,Coates, and DHB/Rodgers

That said, you don't know what I'd do to get Brown to be on this team

I've been done with Zuttah since pretty much last season. He's not going to be here much longer anyways, and while we have a bit of a buffer at 2-0, we might as well start working in his younger, more capable replacement in hopefully Urschel. Lewis on the other hand I'd like to wait a little longer on. He is being thrown into the fire and picking up how to be a starting caliber guard on the fly. Give him another week or two to correct a few things, but if he doesn't get it together we can send Jensen out and Lewis can learn from the bench.

Essentially, We can't be much worse starting Urschel at Center over Zuttah, but we still have room to grow with Lewis at LG

Has anyone heard anything from him besides the XP return? Has he been playing that well or is he even seeing the field? I could have swore he was our starting slot corner or something and was playing strong

I just want to keep the streak going of wearing the purple jerseys. Hopefully it's just warm enough for Jags to consider it. We are 2-0 in them you know

Pitta is top guy while healthy. This is undisputed

Best thing Maxx can do right now is prove to be a capable blocker, and he's done an excellent job at it. As long as he keeps it up, he should hop ahead of Gilmore relatively soon. 

We have a very interesting situation once Waller comes back

coleman and pryor are talented dudes. but yeh

Didn't say they weren't talented, but they aren't the same tier as some of the other guys we have to go against: Brown, Green, OBJ, Marshall, etc.

Good: Our WR Core. We are absolutely loaded with quality receiving options. SSS, Wallace, Moore, Perriman, Pitta, Gilmore, etc.

Good: #InTuckerWeTrust

Good: D-Line absolutely destroyed McCown all day. They did their job, but coverage were terrible

Bad: O-Line, Flacco was getting hit all day. Can not have that especially with Brownies going for his knees

Bad: RB's, Wow they were bad. West put together some solid runs near the end, but Forsett is REALLY struggling right now. Oh where art thou KD?

Awful: Secondary: Torched all day by some sub tier receivers. If Coleman, Pryor, and Hawkins can burn us, what will AJ Green and Antonio Brown do?

This was 100% a game we would have lost last year. Refreshing to see luck actually go our way 

I'm *hoping* the Browns are just too much of a jumbled mess right now to really give us a fight. They don't really have a #1 WR, RB, or QB but a mess of decent options. I think we can get by now, but the 2nd game will be interesting with McCown having momentum, Gordon being back, and some of their issues in order

Favorite color rush uniforms are Saints, 49ers, and Seahawks

I was a fan of the Saints jersey until SportsNation posted on twitter how they looked like the White Ranger

The Vikings have pretty much the same exact jersey combo, just a different font on the numbers/name

Still like it though!

EDIT: Didn't notice the gold trim down the Vikes legs. Still pretty similar

It wouldn't surprise me to see someone do it, especially after the riots and uproar in Baltimore, but I'm glad we had enough sense not to do it on 9/11

If Ravens win another super bowl they will become the NFL's best franchise of the 21st century. 

I really hate to say this, but I'm pretty sure that title belongs to the Cheat-riots. 4 SB's in 16 years and 6 appearances total. Though if we win another we are easily 2nd.

Leslie Frazer helping A LOT those DBs. and Weedle man... that guy is the QB of the defense. Everyone is ready on every play knowing what to do. No miscommunications

Can someone please do a shop of a Weedle with Weddle's beard and in a Ravens jersey? I promise to make it my profile pic 

I think it's too early to tell. Sammy was hurt, and they did lose Glenn for a good while. We also were missing some pieces too. I think we should be better than last year, but I doubt we are good enough to be that dominant every week

Its really just a lack of need for him right now. He wouldn't serve as anything more than a reserve ILB to rotate with Orr and Mosley (Who themselves played extremely well) seeing as we are super stacked at OLB (Suggs, Doom, Judon, ZDS, McClellan). I know I saw him on special teams, so at least he is seeing the field. Have him work on tackling and at least keep the confidence in knowing he have a somewhat decent reserve in Correa

Really hoping the O-Line rebounds here. Stanley and Lewis played well, Yanda had a very un-characteristic day, and Wagner and Zuttah were some booty.

Since I don't think any one has mentioned him yet, I'll say Hester takes the first one back for 104 yd TD. Says he's earned his 1.1 mil.

lol I must have beaten you to it by seconds. I THINK I'm the first person to say Hester and I'm right above you

Can I get a Devin Hester though? We only signed the greatest returner of all time

I really think the color rush is going to be all purple, especially after the Rams went all yellow and the Titans went all blue. But don't the Vikings also have a color rush game this year? We can't both be all purple right?

I think Bengals get the division again, but we finish 2nd. Everyone is always super hyped about Pittsburgh, but what have they really done to improve? If anything, they've lost more pieces than gained. I also think Cleveland has a better year than people give them credit for. RG3 to Gordon is gonna be nasty, even if the rest of the team is gonna struggle

1) Bengals 11-5

2) Ravens 10-6/9-7

3) Steelers 8-8/7-9

4) Cleveland 7-9/6-10

1) Bought a Suggs Nike jersey right before the 2012 season, so now I wear it for every game

2) Must see the opening kickoff. I could miss the entire game but as long as I see the opening kickoff I feel we have a chance

3) New this year: Down a Ravens can of Bud Light per half. Standby for future results

Calling this a defensive match-up right now. If someone hits 20, they will win
