Ravens-rams

[Drkraven]

This week I think the 12th man/woman will make themselves heard best winning stadium since 2000:

Ravens 36

Rams 6

[Raven07]

im gonna have to say.... Ravens: 27 Rams: 10.....i feel as though McGahee will continue to be the center piece right now and continue to get those yards with a possible TD or 2 ...i also feel as though McNair will pass for 270-280 yards and 1 or 2 TD's....Matt Stove i think will have about 1-2 field goals and our Defense will dominate the Rams....finishing the game with 3-4 sacks and 2-3 INT's and a fumble or 2 (opportunity given)

[BamBam]

We should win this game,without too much trouble.But,I'll be honest,these next TWO games scare me a bit.The Rams are a wounded team that'll hungry and desperate,for their first win.And,let's face it,they're not gonna go 0-16.Just like no team's gonna go 16-0.And,I know I'm getting ahead of myself,here.But,going to Buffalo,particularly the way they just lost to Dallas,that'll be tougher than alot of people think,also.But,I have a feeling our D is gonna come up with a big play,this week.Maybe an interception or fumble,taken back for a touchdown.And,I think we're good for a TD on offense,along with a couple field goals from Stover.So,I'm gonna say...20-10 Ravens.

I can't be that over confident on these guys because their 0-5. I say about 17-10 Ravens.

Pats may go 16-0.. may see some HISTORY for them 2 be the 2nd team in NFL HISTORY TO DO SO.

Only team I see stopping them this year is either Ravens, the Dolts, or pittsburgh. I put us in the HUNT because we have them here at M&T . What gets me worried is it's gonna be hella tough playing San Diego in San Diego that scares me.... especially after last year with our last minute Todd Heap TD come back to go 3-0 or 4-0. They are going to be out for BLOOD this year and to try and run us out of their.

[MKdave]

with alot of their key players coming off of injuries, I doubt they'll get it together on offense, and the D is finding form again(and maybe rolle will return) so much so that i think we will shut them out.

Ravens - 10

Rams - 0

Ravens 16 Rams 3

I think it will actually be a pretty good day for the offense. I think Willis will have a 30+ yard run for a score. I think we will finally be able to take advantage of DWill's size and speed for a score, and Figurs will get his first kickoff return for a TD. This will be the game that starts to build an idenity and momentum for this teams going into the last week before the bye. The D will play strong and for the Rams into some mistakes putting the offense on short field and they take advantage of that. We will strong fast and give all u crazy boys and girls lots to cheer about sunday.

I hate to try and predict scores so i'll just say we win big and give this town and preview of things to come from this offense and team.

[JonM229]

This will be the week (I hope) where things start to turn around

Raven 24 Rams 6

[Raven07]

yes i have a feeling that this game will be a game in which the Offense will get "clicking" on all cylinders at some poinr during the game and expect McGahee to have a Big day with more carries and more yards, ultimately wearing the Defense down enough to open up those holes for at least 1 or 2 Big runs.... iam hoping McGahee runs for ultimately 115-125 yards (at least) and at least 1 touchdown...IF everything goes accordingly, as executed in practice ad what not

[Ravensfan23]

I think it will be a game similar to the NO game last season, minus the big amount of yards given up by the defense in the second half. That was the game that pretty much sparked this offense for the rest of the year and i think this game will do the same.

[JonM229]

Especially since we're playing a team even more banged up than ours.

[Raven07]

hey hey now......at least we have players that are coming back to play/ making progress to play......Rolle expects to play this week end, Pryce continues to get better and so does Ogden....thats really a good sign and really good news for us

[JonM229]

I'm not trying to be negative, just stating the obvious. We've had a ton of injuries so far this season. Fortunately for us, it hasn't been as bad as it's been for the Rams. No Bulger, no Jackson, no Bruce. Those are three marquee players on that team, and you only need to look at their record to see that their injuries have been costlier than ours. We've got depth, especially at O-line. (As a Terps fan, I was glad to see Gaither play well on Sunday)

[Raven07]

i know you werent lol i was saying it like "hey hey now!" you know like a kidding way...yes the injury bug has visited us and bitten a few but for the most part (knock on wood) none (except for BJ's injury) has been season ending.....and all of which should/ will be returning to the football field either this weekend, or within the next 2 weeks coming up

[JonM229]

And then we'll hopefully transfer the pain our players felt onto other players throughout the league...starting with the Rams.

[Raven07]

like Terry Tate Office linebacker always says "Get ready for the PAIN!!!!!! you ready?!?!?!?! you ready for the pain!?!?! wooooooott wooooooot!" leaving the other people cowering in fear...

I think the injuries have been sort of good for the Ravens this season. Obviously noone wants to see injuries to their favorite team but i feel that last season we were lucky to go thur a full season without much injury concern. Everything seemed to go our way last season, we got all the bounces, good health, was even able to fire a coach mid season, and i feel like the team thought they could do know wrong, and paid for it playoff time. This season it seems like everything is going wrong at once. Injuries, bad execution, and a mini QB battle(between fans).

I think with everything that has gone on with team, that they can only come together more and get better for hear on out. Coming into this season we were labeled as one of the oldest teams, and one of the most complete teams. If u would have told somebody on April 29th that every player we drafted would have to make solid contributions this season in order for use to compete, they would have called u a fool. However every rookie we drafted has had to step up with the expection of Troy Smith. Many people say this team is aging right in front of our eyes, but i think it's just the opposite. A lot of people don't realize it but we have one of the youngest offenses in the league. We have 6 guys on offense that has been in this league for more then 4 years. JO,Flynn,McNair,Mason,McGahee, and Heap. Out of those 6 players only Heap,JO,and Flynn has been in this offense for more then 3 years.

The point i'm making here is that we have had to come together pretty quickly this season. Young guys have had to grow up and perform up to the level as their teammates. I think this team realizes that its gonna take every player on the roster from 1-53 to get were we wanna be. We can't just line up and win games, we have to fight and make teams realize they have been in a fight. I really think that last season we got complacent and this season we know that every week will be a fight, and it doesn't matter how u start it's all about the finish. If they can't come together and be a team after all that has happend this season then they never will.

[Raven07]

things can only get better from now now for the offense, i mean they certianly wont go backwards in the fact that everyone (players, coaches, staff, personel) is working and spending countless hours running plays and figuring out what was bad, what was good, this paly worked and this play didnt....in this situation we ran this and it didnt work...you know

they'll get it.......starting with the Rams......i mean last week the Defense got bakc on track notching 3-4 sacks and Intercepting a pass or 2,so i feel as though the offense will do the same

[Slick]

the Ravens will open it up against the Rams. if we start strong on sunday we'll finish strong i can feel it. this needs to be a statement game and i think our players are ready to deliver.

27-3

Go Ravens!

[mcgahee2106]

I say we win 23-13.........McGahee runs for 108 and a score and the defense scores a TD. INT return from Reed!!!!!!!

[Raven07]

thought this wuold be a good place to post this.......since we are talking about the score of the upcoming matchup between Our Baltimore Ravens (at home) vs. the visiting St. Louis Rams

[Bmoregirl]

17 - 6, Ravens of course.

[Raven07]

here's what i found at NfL.com just now.....

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true

there is no QB controversy

[purplebandana]

10-3 ravens.....who the hell knows anymore...

[Nightman]

Ravens 13

Rams 10

Stover will kick the game winning FG again.

[MKdave]

Stover will kick the game winning FG again.

I think I've had quite enough of game winning field goals from matt stover. Bad for the heart. What i'd much prefer to see is some QB kneels.

[Jesse Conroy]

16-10

We can't score.

[Slick]

Boller may get his chance to step up this week and prove he can pull away with a win (again, i might add)

I'm really looking forward to this game.
