Hmm...new look from that Raider defense. Never seen that double-safety blitz from them before this season.

You watch the Raiders? O.o

Why am I disappointed already?

Because it almost feels as if we should've scored on the first drive against this defense.

Then again, we keep forgetting that there's no tomorrow for this Raiders team; they're gonna play harder than we expect -- but it's still the Raiders.

Joe is still missing the instinct clock that many great quarterbacks has. He needs to feel the pressue, and make quicker decisions.

The defenders are getting in there

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Yeah, seriously, I was hoping for the Ravens coming out guns blazing. Not so much so far. BTW, I'm talking about energy levels. They just go through the motions in the pre-game warmups, lol.

[Ravnet]

We would probably be a much better football team if we did ANYTHING in our first possession; it's becoming an annoying trend.

I agree, plus he needs to stop patting the ball. We need to run a bubble screen, they are sending 5-6 each time.

I watch EVERYTHINGGGGGGGG!

Well, that, and I'm a Kirk Morrison fan. I'd like to see the man play on a better defense rather than wallow in agony in Oakland. I distinctly remember him stating he modeled himself after and idolized Ray Lewis through college when he was first drafted.

The Ravens take a while to get the machine rolling, you guys of all people should know that

The problem is that we're still playing like last week's Ravens.

Murphy should not tease the Animal!! He's asking for it.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I gotta watch the Chiefs and Denver =(

Baltimore's opening drives have not been at all indicative of their later performances this season.

[Shawn`]

That's how to tackle, Carr!

[Militant X 1]

Carr was on it!

[H8R]

Carr looks like a Bobblehead! : )

[PuRock]

Alright. Let's get some points guys.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

The Raiders are like a talent pulper. The Black Hole that talents goes into, and never comes out.

[Ravens_fan]

Let's go O!

[Malkavian Raven]

Three and out. Now, lets do something!

[theFRANCHISE]

I like how half-hearted the booing was after that 3-and-out by Oakland.

Went against your better judgement, huh?

[Man Crush on Flacco]

Hey, 8 minutes and we've had no penalties so far!

Pretty much the opposite of last year's team.

And the record shows it.

That said, I keep regurgitating this mess, but it's almost a fact that none of us would complain about a postseason appearance, even if this team doesn't "deserve" to make it or goes one-and-done.

I'm desperate for a good reason to follow the playoffs, dammit!

They score on 4 plays and my friend texts me freaking out.
"Oh WOW dude! We havnt scored in the first quarter all year!"
I couldnt help but laugh.
7-0 chiefs, Broncos just punted.
KC is looking pretty good so far.

Dude don't curse us.

My brother said the same thing last week, then the flag parade came to town.

Lol, at least we have one thing to be happy about.

[theFRANCHISE]

I've seen that fake HB toss into the FB dive in Madden so many times -- it kinda worries me that I can telegraph it...
