OPENING DAY Bmore FANS!!!

[757RavensFan]

We can do this. You have the city at your back Ravens. The Bank better be rocking today. I want to hear you guys all the way in Hampton Roads, Va!!

[salamander]

This morning the time is moving too slow waiting for the game to start. Lot's of excitement and anxiety. Hope being home with the loud support of the Baltimore fans helps get our guys back on track. Need to come out with a fast start and keep our feet on the gas for the entire 60 minutes. Go for the jugular Ravens.

[1/28/01]

I'm gonna get drunk before the game so I don't care if we lose.

[ratedr]

This is pretty much the season.

[ratedr]

Watching the replay of the Raiders game. Crockett Gilmore is every bit as good as Gronk after the catch. Ravens have got to work intensively with Crockett in learning ways to get open and design good plays that maximize the damage he can do with YAC. John Mackey of the Baltimore Colts was another home team stud, difficult to bring down bruiser of this caliber. Crockett may be young and inexperienced, but he has the tools to be 1 of the Ravens best offensive weapons ever. I could watch replays of his breaking tackles 100 times. I marvel at players who break tackle after tackle and fight to the death for every additional inch.

Won't see it this year but I think Maxx and Gillmore will be a very formidable combo.

I know we are not mathimatically out if we lose, but I am still looking at this as a 'must win' game. Since a loss will put us so far in the hole if we lose, I will just have to face the facts if we lose today, that our season is at least in dire jeapordy if not over. With that said, I am still feeling pretty good about this game. We are finally home, we know what is at stake, and I think our guys will be up for the challenge. We win today and stay healthy and then go up to Piitsburgh and get another win and stay healthy, then go kick Cleveland's butt and stay healthy, we will be on a roll baby and looking good. Let's do this! Go Ravens!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good!

Whatever works for you my friend, but I think we have a decent chance today if we play smart. Enjoy!

[ratedr]

They lose today and somehow beat Pittsburgh, they'll have a pulse, but that scenario is pretty unlikely to me.

That is what I am talking about. Our team needs to hear some cheers!

[cobrajet]

The pool pic took us through that 2012 SB run. Against teams that were supposed to beat us.

 

It is not bad luck but as someone already suggested if we lose on Sunday perhaps it will be time to find a new tradition.

 

I would miss the pool pic though.

No it is a cool tradition, like playing "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" at O's games. Let's keep it.

[salamander]

Won't see it this year but I think Maxx and Gillmore will be a very formidable combo.

You are so right. Both are so young but the future is bright individually. They should become downright deadly as a DUO in the future.

[cobrajet]

I think I ruined the streak either last year or 2013 and we won.

It is OK, mistakes happen, no one got hurt. Look at last year, we were cursed by the injury bug and I think we made it through the season with the pool pick in tact, so I look at it as a cool tradition, not as something that can curse us.

[FerrariFan87]

Oh, hey there!

Finally!! We needed this!!!

[The Mom Gene]

We need to wreck that Stat.....  Andy Dalton...  The only QB other than Br*dy without a turnover.

Personally, I hope she is soooo wrong.  I think we do see it this year...  especially out of Gillmore

Hoping to see a strong duo this year but they should be even more outstanding as they gain experience and Trestman can tinker with great plays to maximize them. Gilmore is already 1 of my absolute favorite Ravens ever and I have a lot of confidence in him to be a significant contributor to the offense now. Williams maybe too. The point I was making was, as Gilmore and Williams mature and grown they will only get better. That doesn't mean they can't be a great duo this year, only a greater duo in the future. I think the TE position is going to be key to our offensive success going forward and we have fantastic potential in Gilmore and Williams.

I said that because of the comment "won't see it this year".

Now I see what's going on. ratedr said we won't see it this year, not yours truly, salamander. ratedr was responding to my comment. I think that we are watching the evolution of 2 TE's that are our future, meaning tomorrow, next month and in the years to come. Oh,and let's not forget today's future because that hasn't happened yet either. LOL

Dude is a choker and of course turnover machine; it's just his luck brought him the stat, but it'll end in the M&T stadium.....

[cobrajet]

I know I am asking for a lot, but I hope the football gods bless our team today. It would be so great to see our defense get some lucky turnovers, our offense strike gold early, and then Dalton start forcing things and our db's get some pick sixes. It would be sooooo nice being on that natural high and euphoria a big win can bring. A Steelers, Browns, and Colts loss would even put some icing on the cake. Football gods, please let me have this today!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah not getting that at all about Babin. And exactly how bad was Monroe's concussion for crying out loud?

That's been our offense lately. Not theirs.

[Ravensfan23]

What's the deal with Babin? Is he hurt? Surprised to see him inactive especially after the D got no puss rush last week and it seemingly cost the defense.

[4everraven]

Babin signing a question mark. Inactive again. Also there's reports Perriman came up lame, limping, after running a go route during personal workout prior to the game.

[The Mom Gene]

No. No its not.

Let's not do this today......  Come on Folks...  The game hasn't even started yet.  We have Upshaw, who can be a beast on the other side. 

[Cillmatic]

No. No its not.

It really kinda is. If we fail here we'll DEFINITELY get creamed in Pittsburg. An 0-4 start would pretty much be the end of our season.
