[News] Eisenberg: Grab Heart Medication And Hold On Tight

[BR News]

All the Ravens' games so far have been grinding and unpredictable. Don't expect that to change.

That's Ravens football. They've always been this way.

I think that Thursday night game was the biggest roller coaster ride I've seen them play, ever!!!! Especially knowing the ramifications if they had lost!!!!

[Purpleghost23]

we could be 4-0 now if we showed that defense intensity...actually 3-1 causa denver one was on the ofense

Almost! Don't forget the 2013 Vikings game when 5 touchdowns were scored in the last 2 minutes in the snow. And who caught the winner in that one? Marlon Brown! Come on, Marlon, step it up again!

[balfan23]

With the way we've been decimated at WR and with the uneven play in just about every facet ... every game - including games like home vs. CLE are all up for grabs.

This is not new to me and Ozzie as well when he was a "Kardiac Kid" in Cleveland Ohio! I'm jus sayin! LETS GO!

[KidNme]

Ya well, 2015 is probably going to be a bigger struggle than last year was but our games will always be like attending a Catholic mass, In your seat, out of your seat, in your seat, out of your seat, Hallelujah!

It's exhausting!

Chris Givens won't do much. Breshad is still out, again not his fault. Steve is 36 with four broken ribs. Marlon Brown has not shown up, and Aiken makes plays from time to time but does not scare defenses. Campanaro is just an IR candidate every year. Darren Waller needs to be given more chances, he won't develop by sitting on the sidelines. I've only seen him on the field for a handful of plays. Its time we line up our TEs wide, and start playing with three of them because no way will any of the Wrs be making plays. And I will be so happy if they prov me wrong. We need to trade for Alshon, but I am guessing Ozzie doesn't want to give up a high first rounder for him because we will most likely be picking pretty high in the draft.

AMEN!

Pharmaceuticals probably had to triple heart medication orders during the 2000 season with Trent Dilfer so it is nothing new. With nearly as many interceptions as touchdowns (12-11), Ravens fans nearly end up in hospitals en masse in several games in 2000. The 2000 defense kept our hearts and veins from popping.

Amen, I use my hands as a method of prayers, my knees would give out if I had to do that during Ravens games.

There will be no easy games this yr. There never are, but this yr especially. Joe has to step up and put the team on his shoulders. With Suggs and SSS out (can't see how he can play w/ broken bones; don't want him to for the sake of his long term health), Joe's the veteran Raven, along with the O-line. Time to really step up, Joe, and earn that $20MM/year. Great qb's have done it before with depleted WR crews. So now it's your turn. And the defense needs to be what we always expect from a Ravens defense - physical, flying to the ball, killer instinct. We barely beat CLE last yr at home. So next week's game will be difficult. I'm sure the Browns smell blood in the water. GO RAVENS! We can do this!

[balfan23]

Chris Givens won't do much. 

I watched "The Life of Brian" last night ... so the tune that's in my head is "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"

 

Not sure why you would wish to dismiss the possibility that he can at least bring a little something positive to the team 

[FloridalovesRavens]

You got the above right! My heart hasn't been normal since the season started lol. Go Ravens.

[illinoisravensfan]

I think my ulcer is coming back!!! But man o man is this fun!!!

[EliteRavens]

With SSS and Camp out, we need Wrs to step up

[FlaccosRavens]

It's not as complicated as everyone make it out to be. The short pass game can in fact work, not to mention the yards after catch. If we currently do not have the personnel to stretch the field, I truly think that's our best bet.

Look at that God forsaken Patriots team, not a lot of big names at the WR position, but they dominate opponents with the short passing game which extends drives, keep the ball out of the opposition's hand, and gain loads of first downs from gaining 6-7 yards per completion. I'm far from saying not to use Joe's strengths (deep ball, strong arm), or make him Brady 2.0, but I am saying that we should give it a shot. We have the personnel, we just need to implement this a bit more often. Love Flacco to death, but let's get back to the fundamentals which will produce better situations, realistically.

[BallsoHard622]

We deal with this every year for as long as I can remember so even though it sucks I'm almost used to the crazy games. Almost or kinda...I'm lying you can't get used to it ..lol

[FloridaRaven]

Well said John.

[markwpayne2015]

Very exciting. Love it.

[ellicottraven]

Oh well, it is really wise considering these 2015 Ravens, not to even hazard a prediction as to where they end up. I for one will not be shocked if they fail to win more than 5 games. But, I won't be shocked if they go on to make the playoffs this year as well. That is just how the NFL is terms of parity and game day luck, injuries and strategy. So, why speculate? This team isn't very good so far, but who knows if that Pittsburgh game provided that proverbial spark to go on a huge run? I sure hope so.

[Jim Giampaoli]

I relish in the moment of a great win and sit back tomorrow, hoping that KC beats The Bengals. If defeating the Steelers injected the inspiration needed for going to the playoffs, well and done. The Ravens shouldn't lose to the Brown's after that "blood and guts" game. Who knows? I agree with the majority that our team hasn't lived up to high expectations so far.

[Rich McG]

It is days later and we are all still fired-up. How is that possible at 1 and 3? That's our Ravens! And you hit the major point.....there is no quit in the Ravens; they never give up. That starts at the top and drips through the entire organization all the way to the fans. Go you Baltimore Ravens. Go!

[berniemc2015]

If the games start crazy, please let it end crazy, from now on with a W.

[Crusader]

People need to realize this is the new Ravens not the ones your use to watching. Just like baseball it use to be about the game now its all about the money

[bigcatfrank1]

I can only repeat what I heard in the pre-season, The Ravens start the season off with 4 tough games... first 2 on the road Denver , Oakland then Cinci and Pittsburgh. So most said 2-2 was most probable and still see the Ravens in the playoffs without even thinking much about it. Denver, Cinci and Pitt...sure but Oakland? So here it is 1-3, and the Ravens now have to make up a win somewhere down the line. So go do it! This team is getting better, it is growing and it is facing adversity early. I say 4 tough games, we learn much more from and anyone who thought we would be 3-1 or 4-0 was drinking the strong stuff knowing the youth on this team. The Ravens need to take advantage of the next 6 games, focus on each game and play like Ravens. Go Ravens

[Crusader]

SF will not lose not after what the Ravens did in SB. I would be SHOCKED if SF let that happen.
