Preseason 1: Baltimore Ravens At New England Patriots

[Lets_Go_Joe]

Stupid lottery drawing is in the way! I didn't even see the fumble...

It looked like all the other times boller has fumbled, surely you saw one of them?

[theFRANCHISE]

How does the play calling look? Do you think Boller or any of our QB's can excel in this type Offense?

The play-calling is much more varied than in the past. I'm liking the screen passes, but the offensive line needs to be in-sync.

It's to be expected that the o-line would struggle tonight, since it's currently in flux with the injuries that've hit that squad.

[Ravens52]

Wooo, Nice pick Fabian

[PuRock]

Fabian Washington stepping up! Way to make your name already. Awesome.

[theFRANCHISE]

Fabian Washington with the pick.

Too bad I won't see another Washington pick in Week 1 when I'm actually AT the game...

[foreversunny23]

O-line needs work. go figure.

[Ravens52]

Fabian Washington with the pick.

Too bad I won't see another Washington pick in Week 1 when I'm actually AT the game...

Haha yeah I was just thinking that about how we'll need him for the Bengals game. I still don't think he should have been suspended since he's a first time offender.

[theFRANCHISE]

I appreciate Kyle Boller's deep pass attempt, even if it was incomplete to Yamon Figurs.

Let's see Troy Smith and Joe Flacco try the same...maybe they might make it work.

[PuRock]

I like the use of Figurs as a WR , with his speed we just need some deep balls. Stretch the field, open up the short routes.

[Ravens52]

I really like Marcus Smith he's got good size that reminds me of Anquan Boldin. Hopefully he turns out the same

[theFRANCHISE]

That Ray Rice screen pass would've worked even better just now if someone had picked up that linebacker...

But, 4 yards, I'll take. It's a game of inches, after all.

[foreversunny23]

anyone counting the number of penalties we're getting?

[theFRANCHISE]

I kinda wanna order that Ravens cheerleaders swimsuit calendar now after that commercial I just saw...

[theFRANCHISE]

NICE wrap-up tackle by Antwan Barnes!!

[foreversunny23]

a promising first quarter!

[theFRANCHISE]

a promising first quarter!

I'm anxiously waiting for halftime, because:

1) that means Troy Smith and Joe Flacco are up next, and

2) I can comfortably get up, get something to eat, come back, sit down, and relax with my food without feeling rushed.

(I'm HUNGRY!...but I don't wanna miss a thing...no, not that Aerosmith song...)

[theFRANCHISE]

Man, this referee is messing up...I'm not claiming any sort of ref bias, I just never liked this ref in any of the games I've seen him officiate.

[theFRANCHISE]

...incomplete pass, though?

That was definitely a completion followed by a forced fumble...and I'm not just saying that as a Ravens fan.

[rayvenfan_52]

Oh well. Our defense is just man handling them.... AND I CANT WATCH IT........

[Lets_Go_Joe]

...incomplete pass, though?

That was definitely a completion followed by a forced fumble...and I'm not just saying that as a Ravens fan.

agreed, its bs, we always seem to get bad calls though....

[PuRock]

There goes Yamon. We have the weapons, just need to stay healthy

[Ravens52]

VERY nice return by Yamon

[theFRANCHISE]

That return by Yamon Figurs and that special teams coverage was BRILLIANT!

And I'm not so sure Figurs stepped out of bounds at the 3-yard line...pretty sure that was a touchdown, after the replay, but whatever.

[BAL_Hawk]

Bannan is looking really good. That guy is a great backup. He could start for anyone else.

[BAL_Hawk]

WOW! Our special teams is going to be amazing this year! GO FIGURS!

[Ravens52]

Yes!!! First TD

[foreversunny23]

figurs was almost teasing the special teams taking those baby steps back. "you want the ball, awww so close, well i got to go score now see ya [roadrunner beep beep]"

[TriceTriceBaby]

Bannan looks like a monster and he looks in great shape

[rayvenfan_52]

Looks like we wont be needing anyone else to return punts or kickoffs

[RavenNuts]

First TD of the year sure feels good.
