I'm just wondering how many Ravens Fans are questionable and doubtful. Guess here is there will be approx. 10,000 Fans disguised as empty seats.

Eugene Monroe= TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT

[riseNConquer81]

does it really even matter?

[20306cab]

Wow, this will definitely go down as the worst Ravens draft class of all time. I think Davis and Smith are the only guys who even play, and you rarely hear their names mentioned.

A lot of others have been busting their butts, only to have their $20 million QB blow game after game.

[whobilly]

A lot of QB's would "Blow The Game" if they were throwing to primarily Practice Squad receivers.

[whobilly]

SSS, PLEASE stay one more year. You are one of the few guys on the team with heart and stones.

[Rat]

Good news is Monroe will be out. Sorry he is injured, but he has played just awful....

 

Who illy, I predict, once again a complete sell ot and every seat filled. To support our Team....it's what Raven Nation does....

 

Go Ravens

[Tower of Power]

We should win next game. But wouldn't be surpised - ouch - if we lost by 20.

What a shame for Steve Smith to play his heart out in his last year and be let down by his team mates.

The fans will show up even if the team does not.

"A lot of QB's would "Blow The Game" if they were throwing to primarily Practice Squad receivers."

Enough with the excuses for the QB. I don't wanna hear it. I hold every player accountable. Just win baby just win. I don't care if he is playing with Practice squad or not. Fact is they are all NFL players.

[purpledown]

Monroe should be on the trading block.

[Flamengo1265]

The Ravens would be lucky to get a blocking sled in exchange for Monroe.

[roamingcharges]

Monroe just got paid and his wife probably told him to play it safe and avoid any injuries... crumple to the ground as soon as someone gets close to you. He is looking to retire as soon as he can pick up all the guaranteed money written into this contract, it seems. The Ravens need to go back to drafting and signing players who LOVE FOOTBALL. Monroe likes the life he gets from being able to play the game.

[ravenstime]

Well, suit 'em up and let's get this one! I know we can win, but we need to get after Rivers and get an INT or fumble or two to win, plus not making stupid penalties!

As long as we can field a team, I'm going to be happy and route for a win.

[drillem]

I say we have to wait until after the game to see who played and who didn't vs the Chargers. Some may suit up but may not be a factor or worse may create penalties in key situations. This group is beginning to look like a comedy routine with the slap-stick errors they make. Guess they gotta do the comedy skit before they can actually play for real.

I wonder what the over / under will be with the over and underthrown balls by Flacco- and to say its all because of a lack of weapons. Shame, shame, shame. -Gomer Pyle

[Ravensfolyfe]

Monroe...refund please!

[Ravensfansince03]

Monroe's last season, if he makes it through.

This is very true. But at the same time it is no excuse for some of his mistakes. Flacco knows there are things he has to improve on.

 At least Michael Oher showed up for us!

[NCMan]

Monroe should be on the trading block.

Please enlighten us as to who/what the Ravens would get in return? Don't forget the dead money and salary. Oh, and the fact that he seems to stay injured. 

[NCMan]

I guess you don't watch any of the "good" QB's in the NFL who have new receivers every year and make instant stars out of them. We don't have one of those QB's. I, like so many others, am sick and tired of hearing all the excuses for Flacco. But, hey, he got his big money. 

[burnsy]

There is enough blame for everyone and it starts with the coaches being unable to adapt to the talent on the field. Why do they insist on running the ball the first half...falling behind by 10 then having to pass. Use the pass to open up the running game ...and stop being so predictable.....Odds are good that Joe will bootleg and pass to the right flat on the 1st play Sunday....

 

Joe has better field vision and quicker on the release from the shotgun ...so get away from all these snaps under center...at a minimum do some 1st and 2nd down shotgun. More wide receiver screens to Ross on early downs.....and for everyones sanity on 3rd and 3 run a high percentage 5 yard pass and give up on the low percentage chuck.(Tory had more yards in pass interference penalties last year than everyone other than SSS have in receiving yards this year)

 

Find out what the guys on the bench can do......Is A. Brown so bad he can't get snaps on a 1-6 team.The ILB coverage on 3rd down has been pathetic.  Put the other Brown on the bench...he's dropped at least a pass every week. Trawick is lost....and clearly only a special teamer.

 

This year is trying for all but its time to dig in to develop the foundation for next year. .

This is very true. But at the same time it is no excuse for some of his mistakes. Flacco knows there are things he has to improve on.

And so does the O-Line...  Discussions just this week about the lack of time he has back there... and the inability for receivers to get open.  By the time the play has developed, he's being run down or sacked.  Those outside tackles that have been in and out of the games have done nothing to help him.

[picke]

First of all, no injury seems serious for Mr. Steve Smith, Sr. He could have 10 injuries and return to the field from each one before Perriman returns from his injury. I wish WPWN would even quit mentioning Perriman. He has like overdosed on tenderizer or something.

[Crusader]

Ravens play it smart they will look to 2017 to take over the AFC. Brady will be 40 and all this dead money and worth less contracts will be done. BUT even this is VERY uncertain they way Ozzie has been picking players.

This ^. People are ripping on Flacco for continuously throwing off his back foot, but have you guys ever thought about how thats because he doesn't have time to step into his throws before he gets nailed? 

[Crusader]

Ozzie's number one pick on Perriman reminds me of the movie "Trouble with the Curve" This kids Knees will never be able stand up to the NFL grind. The problem next is after having Osgood-Schlatter disease is "The ONLY lingering side effect into adulthood is the presence of a more prominent tibial tuberosity." He will play one game then sit two then play one sit two more. There are times when people need to move on.
