at least 12 wins we will get some losses at the end of games with our kicker.

Can we at least allow Shayne Graham one attempt before assuming failure? He's the 4th most accurate kicker in history, who happened to have one horrible game which yes ended up losing the game that they probably could have and should have won... but hes a Raven now so I'm going to think positively and support him or Cundiff whoever gets the job. We are lucky to have a great team to cheer for, and we should show every ounce of support we can muster. We need to give credit where credit is due, and yes we should also not be afraid to call out failures and weaknesses when they are evident. But he has not missed for us yet, and until he does I am going to expect greatness.

We don't even know who our kicker is yet this year. Stop.

13-3 with loss to saints, jets, and bengals

What game are you looking forward to most on the Raven's 2010 schedule? Lot's of interesting match-ups at critical parts of the season... Monday night's season opener against the Jet's, early match ups (3 of first 4, 2 away) against division rivals at pittsburg and cinci and late ones too (3 of last 5 games), the rematch of our playoff win against the pats in foxborough again, meeting last year's superbowl champs down on the bayou, any of the other tougher opponents on the schedule (Atl, Hou, Mia, Den), or the possible blowouts where our offense does things we've only imagined in the past (Buf, TB, maybe Car and Cle)?

With our traditionally elite defense anchoring a brand new high-powered, mean, physical offense this year might be one of the most electric and memorable seasons in Ravens' history. Looking at the schedule almost every game has the possibility of keeping us on the edge of our seats whether it's a dominating performce by the offense and defense, a grind-it-out defensive war in classic raven's fashion, pounding the rock and battering the opponents defense to a vicory, or a high-flying performance this year's team looks to have it all. It should be an exciting year.

With so many great match-ups this season, and excitement building as we get ready for training camp... What's your game of the year and why? Predictions definitely welcome.

We'll go 13-3 this season. I think the Ravens will be one of the last undefeated teams left around week 13 or so, likely losing to the steelers and the saints.

Ravens will be AFC north champs, and likely make it to the ACF championship game, if not the Superbowl.

when the NFL network interviewed Boldin, they asked him, what was the first thing Ray Lewis said to you and his reply was one word... Dallas.
however many wins they get , they are going all the way!!!

I always look forward to divisional games first and foremost. Jets game should be fun as well. Just for the record we play the superbowl champs here at M&T not down on the bayou.

For me game the most exciting games are:
1 vs jets, game 2 vs bengals, and that falcons game.

1st game vs Jets will test how much Raven's new offense can perform against NFL's toughest defense. I want to see how all this hype about Anquan Boldin/Donte/Pitta/Ed turns out.

2nd game vs bengals. Now this game is going to be the most fueled hate game I'll watch this whole season. After all the bengals fans talking smack about us b/c they beat us twice last year, and that whole incident with Ochocinco thinking were a joke.......what else can I say. I'm probably going to laugh at the bengals 24/7 for whole month after that game

Falcons game. This is going to be classic b/c its going to be the battle of 3rd-year QB's, which is Matt Ryan vs Joe Flacco. Media has been hyping them up on who is better. We'll see which QB will be better. Going to be fun to watch.

Am I missing something here? Not really sure what or who you are responding to. Can you elaborate a little?
