Great opportunity for Buck and I hope he does well.... but it still stinks if Forsett is now yet another player too banged up to play.

Shame about Forsett, but unless he's confident he won't make it worse, he should take a breather. Here's to hoping that Buck Allen will do a good job. I expect that Magee will be promoted to the active roster as back-up.

I believe Allen can do a good job in Forsetts place. Also it is crucial that Flacco reworks his contract in the offseason.

Allen can tote the rock but it's up to Joe to get the "W"! He beat the 49ers in the air not on the ground! LETS GO!

Hopefully this is a blessing in disguise for Buck. Sucks for Forsett but what can ya do.

[FloridalovesRavens]

If we can get past the next 4 games at 3-1 we have a chance to make it a winning season. Let's go Ravens!

[EliteRavens]

Get well Forsett!

Good for Buck, he's been running hard this year. Hope he has a big day.

[Purple&Black]

If buck runs like he did last week, we'll be ok. Give Forsett a chance to get 100, and not have to rush back

I think these players are faking it, either that or their not tough

Man up

Since the superbowl, the Ravens are 19-18 (.514) and the 49ers are 21-16 (.568).

At first glance you would think we could win 4 of the next 5 games. 49er's, Chargers, Jaqs, and Rams. At second glance I realize we are not a good football team at this point.

Would be interesting to see if Jim joins John on the sidelines Sunday wearing Ravens gear.

[Asmodeus71]

I hate to say this but if we win the next Steelers game, the season was still a good season no matter how bad it really was. A Steelers sweep, not as good as a Super Bowl win but better than losing in any round of the playoffs...

Easy to say from your couch huh?

[picke]

I am more concerned with the play-calling than I am with Allen starting at RB.

I believe these guys want to play but team medical doesn't allow their participation.

Good luck to him.  I hope the injury bug never reaches him.  Perhaps that Callifornia soil will give him additional energy and he catches all the screen passes as well.  

[BigUgly]

The Juice may have to get loose to spell Buck at HB. Most worried about a rookie in pass protection for Joe. Too bad we weren't able to hang on to Toussaint or Rainey.

[NCMan]

Good luck, Buck. Here's your shot!! I agree that Juice should get more playing time, both as a runner and receiver. Heck, maybe Trestman will shock us all and even run some screens!! I know, I know. Dream on, right? Next thing I'll be dreaming about is Flacco using a pump fake or a misdirection play to actually fool a defense for once. Somebody wake me up. I swear Cam is actually still running our Offense.

[NCMan]

Good luck to him.  I hope the injury bug never reaches him.  Perhaps that Callifornia soil will give him additional energy and he catches all the screen passes as well.  

What screen passes? Even on the very rare occasion we run one, Flacco always stares down his intended receiver to be sure the Defense knows what's coming. 

[TheRavengers]

Here's to Buck following Forsett's footsteps. In a good way.

suck it up

This is a tall order unfortunately. I felt confident going into last week the Ravens would be beating the Browns (knowing they are always close games), Now Every game is in question and will likely be close in everyone of them. 

For this coming game I fully expect Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin to have near career games against this defense.

This I think is a good idea. Curious to see if this is the case.

I really want to see all the new guys play. Asa,Wright,Allen One of them will show some kind of promise beside Ozzie gotta hit on someone sooner or latter. We seen what happens last year when you go into the playoffs with a bunch of inexperienced rookie secondary. Why jeopardize lowering your draft picks.

[Crusader]

Ravens have 50 players on the dead money list. That's a another team. I'm glade Ozzie does not run my finances. I would be playing for another family.

You may not think we could get much worse play from our secondary, but trust me Asa is worse. Much worse.

Pretty sure forsetts gonna be active. I don't know if he practiced today or not but from what I've heard the injury was really minor and he has a good shot.
