120 attempt since the last TD I wonder what's the record ? 

He's trying for the hall of ineptness.

We're lucky the Steelers offense looks inept.  But they'll eventually find that big play.  

They haven't even gotten to ept to be inept yet.

can we play mallett please? 

A crab mallet would be better than that play.

Ravens weren't set on that play

Once again, we shoot ourselves in the foot then Flacco throws the INT.

First down in the red zone.  What a grab, Aiken.

Tavon Young had great coverage. I LOVE this kid. 

He was really pumped up after the play.

So glad that Hester is back to return punts.

here comes a turnover..............Lets go D!

Almost but Webb dropped it.

that might have been one of the worst throws ive seen from flacco

Wallace might be secretly wishing that he stayed with the Vikings now that they have a QB who can actually throw the ball downfield.

Oh Lord Stanley flag

Offensive penalties have killed us so far this season.

Run the ball and move the chains.

It's time to put Dumervil on IR.

If Flacco was fully recovered from his injury, then Wallace might have 600 receiving yards right now. Let's get him over 500 on Sunday, Joe.

Maybe we should trade a back and promote Reynolds to backup RB.  He and Dixon scored a lot of TDs in college.  They can't do much worse than the others have so far.

I really think that Perriman being on the field still after 7 games is a big deal. Many fans were worried about his durability. Now, he needs to improve his game, but so do the rest of the Ravens receivers. We don't lead the league in drops, but we aren't exactly instilling fear into the opposition.

I agree in theory. The problem is... what if we finish like 5-11 or 6-10, something like that. That's back to back very bad seasons.

At that point, most teams don't just keep people because "well we don't have anybody else better to replace with him with". The reality is that even if we see moderate roster turnover, its impossible to replace or even upgrade all of those positions in a given year. When teams have consecutive seasons like that, there's no point in keeping highly paid players around when you can't win while they are here. You cut them and replace them with cheaper players in the hopes they become more talented. 

If we did a moderate "roster gut", where we keep like 5-6 key veterans and we ditch guys like Webb, Dumervil, etc., that's the kind of rebuild that takes multiple seasons. We will be weaker in 2017 at some spots than we are this year... that's a foregone conclusion when you do something like that.

My guess is they offer him a short term extension for a lower cap hit and less money. 

I was on the bandwagon thinking that we would get close to .500 this year but 5 or 6 wins will be a reality if we don't learn how to: (a) stop making stupid penalties, (b) stop the opponent's passing game over a complete game, (c) utilize the running game, (d) prevent that big-play drive in the 4th quarter.

I don't see us winning more than 2-3 more games this season. We just don't have it this season again.

It's hard enough to play the position when you are fully healthy.

It's so good to see Taliaferro back from his injury even if he only plays special teams for awhile.

Young was a very good pick in the 4th round. He has proven that size isn't always the be all and end all factor in coverage. I'd love to see him pick one off and run it back for a TD. Just don't fumble the ball across the goal line.

The Ravens need to beat the Jets, Dolphins, and Browns to get to 6 wins. After that, in our conference every game is going to be a struggle since we play the Bengals and Steelers twice. I don't see us coming within 21 points of the Patriots. The Cowboys' running game will provide a challenge. At the beginning of the season, I thought that we would end up at 8 and 8, but 6 or 7 wins is a more realistic goal seeing how we can't stop anyone in the 4th quarter.  I don't think that the Ravens will ever play for a high draft pick.

We can do it!

Joe might need to sit out a game, but I don't see the part that Mallett puts up big numbers.
