24-10 Ravens!

if it helps , I think we'll destroy Carolina

 

 

As do I. I also can't believe the relative silence on this game thread. There seems to be a real lack of hype.

 

There you go. Positive attitude. That's what I like to read!

 

Well at least they're realistic. But at the end of the day, anything can happen in the NFL. Just so I don't have a heart attack again (figuratively of course), we just need to have a STRONG start and not let up.....

 

I am a huge advocate of the "anything is possible" concept, but having a positive opinion is not exactly unrealistic. They are banged up, their QB is playing hurt and the Steelers did just hand them their tushy on a platter. None of that spells indomitable to me.

Its funny, you look at this forum and see all the "oh this game is going to be tough" and "we may not win this thing" and "oh I am nervous about this one"and over at the Panthers forum it is the .Same.Exact.Thing. Neither fan base seems to think their team is good enough to win.

 

Yea its a tough one to predict. I don't think to many people thought Pittsburgh was going to run away with that one last week, and I think the Panthers are better than they looked there. That said I think we have yet to see what the Ravens are made of, and we are getting better every week. I think we win, but I don't expect us to send them out in boxes.

 

That said, did anyone see Deangelo Williams did his media interview in goggles? Funny!

I know its different gameplans but I sort of hope Harbaugh and Kubiak watched that Giant's game tonight. If you want a free lesson in scoring redzone touchdowns, the giants could not have executed better. Eli's TD passes tonight were of 5, 6, 6, and 2 yards, and could have had another one from about 5 yards although it was questionably ruled the reciever lost the ball before making a "football" move. I love them splitting that 6'6 tight end out wide and allowing him to run slant and gos and get leverage. I don't know how Gilmore has been playing at all, but I would love to see us split him and marlon brown out wide on opposite sides and utilize that size in the red zone. It may be that our players aren't up to the task, but I'd love to at least put them out there and try and fail rather than not trying at all. The Ravens have a lot of mantras like "intimidating defense" and "resilient players," I'd love for the "kick field goals and have the defense hold them" mantra to turn into "red zone touchdowns and blow people out." I mean that game against Pittsburgh where Tucker hit 3 field goals of less than 25 yards and one of 30 yards...that game ended 26-6 but could have easily been 38-6. We also likely would not have needed an epic throw and catch from Flacco to Smith to win that browns game

Not sure if that was Eli or Peyton I saw last night. But I'm confident that our offense will be more potent especially in the red zone later on the season.

Deangelo Williams in the goggles. Classic!

Tom Brady-esque that's for sure. I give Deangelo wearing goggles the edge in the Panther fashion department.

Breaking an unwritten game day thread rule, but I spent some quality drunk time on this.

[Grapple Raven]

I read through some of the Panthers blogs the other night, they seem very intimated by Flacco's arm.  But on the whole their website seemed to have a very knowledgeable, informed fan base, much like our own.

Rock "The Bank" for a Smith Sr. party! Show him why is a Raven and should extend his career as one! Go 89, this one's for you!!!

Proof:

Why is New York City and New Jersey getting the Jaguars vs Chargers game? Like, I could understand if they were getting Buffalo vs Houston instead, that would make sense.

Key word, quality!!

My guess, they are blocked from the Bills secondary market, and forbidden from the Ravens or Carolina market so they get different game. But it also says late game, so maybe there is a local match on early on the other network that takes priority and forces a move. The Wikipedia article on NFL TV contacts is pretty good on the subject. It is likely complicated because cbs carried the Giants on Thursday and can't be given top billing to both the local teams for NY on the same week AND the third NY team also, Fox would throw a fit about this loss of revenue.... Just remember that it is all about the money, not the benefit of the fans or common sense.

Shoutouts to Juan Castillo and his zone-blocking. Whatever happened last year is behind us and our O-line is rolling hard right now.

 

 

Shoutouts to Rick Wagner too. If you didn't know our roster it would be impossible to tell that we had a 1st year starter, second year player at RT. 

[RaineV1]

Juan Castillo's blocking scheme seems to work when there's a solid veteran center. Granted, the same can be said for a lot of blocking schemes.

[berad]

We can't get beat by the guy in capris! Do it Ravens!
