[quote name='FerrariFan87' post='63612' date='Sep 7 2008, 09:34 AM']Let's take a look at Heap's half, shall we?

1 Catch, 1 Fumble, TWO Drops (The most glaring was in the ENDZONE, where it was placed perfectly in his hands)

Who says the preseason isn't important?[/quote]

People who think players should perform like they would in the middle of the season. I mean cmon. They have to work on their timing with the QBs and work off rust.

your right. that can happen.. my point is.. we are so used to excepting just ok.. i want them to play better.. look at other games going on right now.. we are playing a team who is playing like crap and we are barely beating them.. i hold the ravens to high standards. i want them to be the best.. i won't just settle for average.

Im gonna go ahead and say this and you guys can blast me after....

but maybe why were doin bad is because the refs are always helpin out the other team. Even though Im not watching the game Im listening to it and the guys on the radio are saying the refs are making "VERY QUESTIONABLE" calls.

thats just me though

thats true and i respect that. it seemed like it was getting a bit heated though and i thought i would try to cool it down.

[M.E.S]

i just want my team to be great. that's all.. look at the steelers. they are playing a team that they should be and they are killing them right now.. we have to compete with them in this division. someone said they are not looking for a pro bowl qb.. what type of mess it that. shouldn't you want the best qb. we have the third or fourth hardest schedule this year. so we have to be damn near great to make the playoffs

[macbrak]

MES I think your discounting how much the defense is shutting down golden boy/glass nose Carson Palmer.

[Ravens52]

I'm just hoping with come out of this game with a WIN. It would be an awesome way to start off the season seeing our Defense playing Greeeeat as usual and some future in our offense.

[macbrak]

Every comentator was expecting Joe to totally show his greenness, I agree he hasn't played great but he's doing what Bmore QB should do control the ball and not turn it over.

[rayvenfan_52]

their getting good field position on their returns.

I knooow, he's done very well by showing his poise but if at least 2-3 of those dropped passes by our receivers I'm positive he would have 110+ yards right now.

no.. but we expect that from the defense.. but the offense has to equal.. we have over 100 rushing yards.. the passing yards are like 46.. that's not good

[rayvenfan_52]

I love the guys on the radio


"The Ravens are getting into the mind of someone." I forgot who they said

[M.E.S]

ok.. i'm happy we are winning. i really am.. i'll take it as is and worry about next week later

I think they were right about the slippery field too

[macbrak]

Yeah I guess I should expect more from our Offense, but I guess as one person but it Baltimore has been looking for Mr. GoodBar since Johnny U left town.

[rayvenfan_52]

I hope this fumble doesnt get reversed

it was chad johnson...oh sorry i mean chad ocho cinco...

[Ravens52]

To be honest.. this defense is looking a lot like our 2006 defense. Stopping everything and forcing turnovers

[JoeCool#5]

ewww... was hoping that punt would go in the endzone.

"Ocho Cinco" Sounds like onomatopoeia for a sneeze. Gesundheit!!

as well as keeping teams on a 3rd and out situation.

that is something they didnt do in the preseason

[rayvenfan_52]

[quote name='EXEravenforlife' post='63646' date='Sep 7 2008, 09:59 AM']that is something they didnt do in the preseason[/quote]

It was something our team did in the pre-season... Only in the 1st quarter though.

Only cuz the starters would just play the 1st one.

[POE]

nice throw Joe..he needed to finally connect one in the flats and that was nicely dropped in there

[POE]

I think Joe has read the Fefense extremely well and if Clayton and Rice would of held on to the ball earlier in the game this would look more like blow out the it really does. Joe has let some sail on him but overall he looks extremely confident.
