Stunned - Forget football--Hope that he makes it.

Who says you can't buy W's? Ravens bought Watson, Weddle, Wallace. Hoping that means Ravens have just bought the W's that matter - WINS!

Clever comment.

Joe needs a line for time to throw deep.

What will the NFL do about that hit? Dirty hit

According to the article "The good news is, win, lose or draw, Baltimore is %u201Cessentially locked into%u201D a top-10 pick at 99.9 percent" A team/ organization establishes itself as a winner is more important than always getting high draft picks. So what if the Ravens pick 5th or 10th they will only be as successful as the judgment of their front office.

If he defends his hit --- says loads about his judgment. As I recall, this isn't the first bonehead play that he has made. Apparently, based on his response, more can be expected.

Gets open, fights for the ball, and won't drop any-- hope he plays.

Dan Brown is the real deal.

Is Clausen that much better than Renner? Clausen has had more game experience and is a vet. I suppose that's important but Renner knows the offence. I wonder if he has stayed in condition--he may be getting an opportunity. Hope they give Dan Brown a longer look in this game. The Ravens D will come to play. This game will be closer that people think.

The Ravens will be allowed 14 men on offense. That should help us.( as per the monitor's admonition--just adding a bit of levity). I will bet on the Ravens --either taking the 11 and 1/2 pts. or take them straight up not ATS depending upon the payout. The Ravens are pros and can stay with any team, even when they are battered. BTW Purple kool aid is my favorite drink.

I love the cool aid as well as anyone but a "star" and being released?

Bad call by the official--period. Play Dan Brown.

I don't know Nick but if he were my grandson I would say disappointed is a better description of my reaction.

Stupid--what else is there to say?

Proud to be a Ravens fan.

The Ravens simply need more time to gel on offense because of the personnel changes. Time is fleeting but it make them interesting to watch.

BTW one of the "experts" predicted that the Dolphins and their new OC will run the ball against the Ravens which will be the deciding factor in the game. One can only pray that Miami sticks to the run--at least I am.

Gee, with so many "experts" picking the Dolphins , I wonder why we are playing at all. I also wonder how many of them back up their selections by wagering on their selection. The point spread when I made my selection was Ravens 4. I'll take that every time.

"Your Kidding...Right?"

Of course and that's my point. Schaub came in and did a decent job. Flacco has made crucial mistakes as well as great plays. He's not Joe but he is a good backup as he demonstrated --when was the last time he started a game? Ravens made a smart move to get him, contrary to what many on this site said when he was signed.

Schaub threw pointless interceptions on Monday. I don't recall Joe ever throwing "pointless " interceptions or missing open receivers.

Regarding the draft picks; New England ha been more successful than the Ravens. Their draft picks?

Really what difference does drafting position make? If that would make a difference--how come the Browns are where they are?

"so you see all our luck isn't bad, we got flexed out of prime time. That's a break we need, cause I'm pretty sure we'd have humiliated ourselves in front of millions of viewers. I think we're the worst team in the league this year. I also don't think we'll beat Cleveland tonight, the Steelers, nor the Bengals. We're just not up to the task. That "next man up" mentality don't work when you gotta keep saying "next man up" cause your whole team of starters is on the sideline hurt."

The operative words are" think and don't think"

As I recall I wanted to cut my wrists with a rusty razor blade when Unitas went down as was replaced by Earl Morrall. I'm not making a comparisons except that I would like to remain positive.
