B Minus....well we will just B minus our way back to the dance, with the help of all the FA signings, amd draft picks making a big contribution....Once again we are hated, but we wear the villain image like champs....

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. That Ed Reed video had me almost in tears. jeeeeeez G.O.A.T. Raven Nation. How bout we honor Ed a lil more by winning another super bowl ring (since he'll be in Ring of Honor he'll get a ring too) in our 20th season! #20!!

[trevorsteadman]

Offensive line is probably the most important position on the offense. If you don't have an offensive line you have no time to throw and no where to run. We saw that in the 2013 season when Flacco got sacked nearly 50 times and pro bowler Ray Rice only ran 3 yards a carry. This is kind of useless stats, because all of the more mobile quarterbacks of course will have a higher QBR under pressure because they can role out of pressure. Pocket passers did better when not under pressure for the most part. The only reason Flacco is so low on the good list is because of the quarterbacks in front of him all have better weapons than him. Aaron Rodgers has Cobb and Nelson, Brees HAD Graham and Cooks, Romo has Dez, Rothlesberger has Brown (and can count on Bell a little even if hes a running back), Matt Ryan has Roddy White and Julio Jones... Only quarterback on the list that has worse weapons than the Ravens that is ahead of Flacco is maybe Phillip Rivers because all he really has is Antonio Gates, Keenan Allen didn't play too well last season.

[eek]

no one cares about ESPN or UNI Watch.

I can't even begin to describe how much I love our home team  .......I never dreamed how much it could effect how I feel. It really does not matter which highlight reel I see, the chills overwhelm me. That retirement video for Ed Reed just did it again!! Can't wait for the new season to begin!!!! 

[PalmBayRaven]

Haters are going to hate.

[Mt. Crushmore]

My friend's unbiased as not a Ravens fan is really into uniforms and such and he says the Uni Watch guy isn't a fan of purple in jerseys.

[bostonraven]

He likes the Steelers Bumblebee uniform and thinks that is preferable to our 'leotard'. Dude needs a sanity check.

[Nick04263]

Nothing beats the clown suits the Bengals have to wear.

[stixfix69]

I love our Darth Vader looking uni's, it fits our reputation to a T......

[Bleedpurple&black52]

Well their secret is out, they must love them some bumblebees. We're one of the worst dressed teams? YEAH RIGHT, that's ridiculous! Our uniforms are awesome. #Ravens

All the pants need to be redesigned to stay up.

I agree that the leotard look is a bit strange. It makes Joe look like he is dancing back there when he is under pressure (and it is not Swan Lake).

The uniforms that I dislike the most from a purely esthetic view are the Titans and the Raiders. The next tier of dislikes would be the Bills, Broncos, and the Jets.

Then there are the "throw back" (throw out?) uniforms in general - a blatant money grab for the teams, and I imagine a hindrance for some QB's in finding their receivers down field. And, yes, Pittsburgh's are the worst of this bunch.

[Saxxin]

Ravens flying in under the radar. This could be the best team in the AFC right now and nobody sees it. They think our rookies can't step up. Joe has more talented weapons on offense than he has ever had. The defense was ranked 6th in points allowed last season with 5 CB's on IR. If the secondary can stay healthy they are top 5 easy. Add in legatron and there are no weaknesses. This is a dangerous team.

[Purpleghost23]

Our unis are the sickest ones...and the steelers bee are ugliest ones

[PolishRifle]

I'm not a fan of the 3d effect on the numbers and I hate it when we wear the black pants with the black socks, which makes our guys look like they're wearing ballet pants. Put a stripe on those black pants or atleast some stipes on the socks.

[berad]

Glad that Ray and Janay can move past that legal chapter in their lives but I don't think it will make a difference to the league. He's toxic, that video follows him.

[GageRage]

Plus out Uni's are the best in the NFL that's some Steeler fan thats at the head of that company that made them no.1.

[Dorota]

Before I get to anything else - whoah, quit about the uniforms please! The black 2x a year uniform is the most beautiful thing ever seen on an NFL football field fashionwise and I adore them and am sorry to see them only 2x a year. Maybe they're not popular because when Ravens wear the black, they almost always win Get over yourselves, other guys.

[Dorota]

My guess why Roethlisberger is best graded in league when under pressure is, that he's so big, that sometimes he doesn't even notice someone attempted a tackle and keeps on moving. He looks more like a DL than a QB.

[Arch Mage]

If Ray Rice gets picked up by someone, does that change our "dead" money around him?

[HomeoftheBRAVENS]

Even steelers fans hate those ugly bumble bee striped uniforms.That article smells like click bait to me.

[trevorsteadman]

If Ray Rice gets picked up by someone, does that change our "dead" money around him?

No unfortunately guaranteed money is guaranteed..

[salamander]

Any fool who grades the Steelers bumble bee uniforms at the top is not worth listening to. The bumble bee uniforms make the Steelers look like children in bad Halloween costumes.

[sami]

when were standing under all that falling confetti, holding the Lombardi trophy up I wonder how our uniforms will look to them then.

[roamingcharges]

Ugh... that Rodney Harrison footage at the end! Okay I won't let it leave a sour aftertaste from what was a very scrumptious video clip. Thanks ED REED!!! G.O.A.T.!!!

[smiff1980]

Ravens never lose in all black.

[steelcityraven]

OKAY...I think that Dan Rooney (sqeelers president) is also the president of the uniwatch org. That is to only way the sqeelers awful uniforms would have ever been picked as good for anything!

[sflegend89]

Go tell Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, Jimmy Butler, Demar Derozan and Derrick Rose that it looks like they're wearing a leotard when they wear the same color compression tights and socks.. Those guys could wear anything they want from the shorts down and they've all popularized that look. If ESPN ranked the best dressed players on court how much do you want to bet a guy who uses that same look would be #1?

[steelcityraven]

So.... the Ray Rice case was dismissed? He is still without a team more then a year later for something he was never even convicted of? SMH! obviously did what he did but there are many players in the NFL with worse infractions who have done worse and they didn't serve the same type of penalty! If Tom Brady has a defamation of character lawsuit against the NFL over deflategate.... what will Ray Rice have?
