True Raven fans

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

No Raven fans are very happy right now with how the team has faired so far in this season. An 0-3 start is not what any of us fans wanted to see or expected to see but that's our reality. All we can do as fans is keep hoping and pulling for our Ravens.  One good thing is most Raven band-wagon fans are probably finding another team right now.

I made it through 2007 and all those QB carousel years. I guess I'll survive another season that doesn't go how we'd like lol

 

We're not done yet though. We've just made it very very very difficult for ourselves.

hope it cleans up the board a bit.

I'm here to stay. Like Smith Sr said, "if we would've won, it would've been a quick turn around, let's go down there (to Pittsburgh)." Cause for concern? Sure. But we might as well ride it out. Let's win our first of the year vs the Steelers.

Right there with you guys, so 13-3 is still possible, ill take it.  All seriousness though, whats the point of being negative.  Yea, 0-3 sucks, but why make it suck more with just whining and having no hope, we arent the browns, jags, etc...we are a winning organization. Im not going anywhere.  except to the bar, to drink my sorrows away.  jk. maybe

[RavensRegime]

Im more heartbroken than upset! We keep losing in the final moments of all 3 games, just when i think we're gonna pull out the victory. We could be 3-0, but we're 0-3! There's a lot of football still left to play. We might be down, but not out.! We got the best fans in the league, so of course im riding this out. Lets go Ravens!!!!!

[Corvus]

I'll still be here watching and rooting every week but lets be realistic. Before the game, I thought if the team could take 2 of the next 3 divisional games, they'd be fine and we'd be right back in the heat of the divisional race. But if they go 1-2 or 0-3 in these three consecutive divisional games, the season is essentially over from a playoff standpoint with how competitive the AFC North is. So let's regroup and take these next two from Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

[Dr. Kelley]

I've been watching this team for 20 years now, they could go 0-16 and I won't take off my jersey or stop watching all the games.

[Bobby]

I am still ALL IN for the Ravens....frustrated as all get out right now - but ALL IN!  GO RAVENS!!!!

[Bryden88]

Aggravating and frustrating? Yeah.

 

But the way I see it, even if it is with a second string QB, if we can beat the Steelers, we gain some confidence, some momentum, and then become dangerous. The rest of the league should want us winless, because once we have momentum, if we treat every game like a playoff game we're gonna be lethal.

Oh Tru...  Wouldn't that be nice.....  I look for us to play for a wildcard spot at this point.  I love my Ravens.  Am I disappointed???  Absolutely.  Am I disgusted with our defensive unit???  Even moreso, Absolutely....   Do I think we're done????  NO WAY

 

But I gotta tell you one thing...  When things aren't going well and your coordinator is sitting up in the box, I have a hard time with that.  You come down onto the field, and you get into the mix.  You face your people, you fight with your people, and you lift them up.  I just don't like that "box".  Caldwell did that too, and that experiment didn't work either.  Get down there with your guys and motivate them.

 

Just sayin.....

 

GO RAVENS!!!!!  Whoop the SNOT out of those STEELERS!!!!!

i think we can still make a run.

we will be around 8-8 or better.

 

i also dont believe adults should need another adult to motivate them lol.

i think its actually good for the coaches to be in the boot since they will have a better view of the playing field and should be able to make better adjustments based on what they see.

 

for motivation its time some of the veterans step up.

webb , smith and such should stand up and tell these guys this is not how you play.

they should not be waiting on a coach to tell them this.

 

if they dont like pees or how he does things they need to speak up as well if that is the reason they dont play hard.

 

hate to say it but since we lost suggs the effort has been pathetic and to bad for us he is the last guy left from our golden age of top notch defense.

 

Also before the DC you forget all the position coaches who are on the side line who should be coaching the players up once they get off the field.

Pees should be on the Phone with them telling what he saw and such.

That was my point yesterday...  We do have a new secondary coach this year.  I mean, last year we had the injury bug back there, but this year, that isn't our problem so much.  We don't have the cohesion or chemistry that is needed for these guys to be working as a unit.  I get the part where he can see the field...  yeah, that's working really well for us right now too.

 

When things aren't working, you join the ranks and get in the middle of your people...   Just my opinion.

 

I think we can make a run too...  I'm not giving up on them at all.

[TDubbs]

We're not as bad as we look, we do have the talent but our record speaks for itself unfortunately. If we can beat Pittsburgh we have a shot to salvage the season. IF we go 0-4 we have to start looking ahead and maybe this is the year we get a top 10 pick to spark the franchise again.

Once in a while, a good cleansing is needed.  I'd much prefer winning of course.  

 

But even at 0-3, I'm still damn proud of the Ravens.  Could they have managed the team better?  Sure.  Played a little better? Of course.  

 

But they have given us fans the chance to bask in two SB victories during our short existence.  That's a lot more than some teams who have been around for ages.  Nearly every year we are in discussion for a title run.  This year we are taking a back seat.  And as a fan, it sucks, but its okay.  Not the end of the world.   

[ratedr]

I'll always be a fan but I'm already looking towards the draft.

[Willbacker]

I've been with them since the expansion team when we were probally the most hated team in the NFL(cuz we "stole" Clev's team) and were perinneal losers and laughingstocks thru the Billick era when we had the dominant D but the ever so frustrating offense(basically the era where we made a name and got an identity) till the times of today. I'll drink in the glory and suffer thru the bad times until the day I die with the Ravens. CAW!!!!!

[757RavensFan]

hope it cleans up the board a bit.

 

I wish!  It's just more ammo for the, fire Harbs, Flacco, Ozzie crowd.   SMH!!

[Static]

I really dislike these 'Im a better fan than you' posts.

 

The Pseudo-elitism doesnt help anybody.

[ratedr]

Has anyone dared to listen to 105.7? I'm kinda curious...

[757RavensFan]

What's frustrating is we're an 0-3 team that could easily be 3-0.  We've waiting since January for this season to start.  We were excited about the rookies we drafted, felt great about OTA's and training camp (minus the Perriman injury) and generally excited about the team that was going to start the 2015 season.  NONE of us envisioned and 0-3 start, not even the biggest haters on the forum thought that. So while I'm a fan to the end, I'm disappointed.  I just want us to finish respectably at .500 or better.  If we can do that after this start, we can hold our head's up and say "that's my team, they never quit!!"

Idk, sometimes that mini rebuild can do a lot of good. Look at Atlanta. Two awful seasons and now it looks like they're back on track.

i still dont see what that would archieve though.

 

coaches arent with the players on the field so aint nothing they can do.

 

what we need are guys like ed , ray , pollard, bart scott or such.

vocal guys who can fire everybody up or make a play that gets everyone going.

with suggs out we lost that type of player.

 

just 1 vicious hit to set the tone would be enough.

 

right now these guys are just playing for the sake of playing.

no will of fire , no emotion , no pride , it really is awefull to watch.

 

personally i think they quit on pees but are afraid to be vocal and let it be know to harbough.

or they really arent as good of players as most think they are.

Vocal leaders and guys who can "fire people up" are generally overrated in this league.

 

If you can't go out and play well on Sunday because there's no Ray Lewis there to inspire you, then the NFL isn't for you and you won't be in the league very long anyway.

 

Fire, emotion and pride come from within, not from outside.

[Tru11]

I wish!  It's just more ammo for the, fire Harbs, Flacco, Ozzie crowd.   SMH!!

 

man its getting tired some tbh.

 

there are only a few who can keep their emotions in check and objectively review what happened lol

 

i mean people are blaming pees for mosley being juked by dalton and other dumb [profanity deleted] like that .

 

or calling perriman a bust and such.

 

someone even deared to call steve smith old and not playing with enough fire and he needs to step up lol.

 

i mean are these people serious or just trolling ....

i agree.

 

grown men should not need others to get fired up and lay it all on the field.

 

thats why i dont understand why people expect coaches to fire up players when stuff goes bad.

 

IF any players should do that to each other but then again if you need another to fire you up , i seriously question if you have the heart to play the game.

[RobFuseRaven]

I may yell, scream, cuss them out, slam inanimate objects, but I'll always love my Ravens.

[JoeyFlex5]

lets hope. over the past offseason these boards have become littered with people who dont know the first thing about the team or football

im probably 1 of flacco biggest critic but even i cant believe it when people say he should cut him or trade him...

 

seriously have you seen those comments.

 

SMH.....

[FlackAttack]

"true ravens fans" that prey on their first victory due to a washed up 2nd string qb playing for the steelers smh
