Don't really think harbs is smart enough to tank the game and the browns haven't swept us since i don't even know when.....clowns 28 ravens 15(5 field goals)...thanks again coach!

[Purple Dawg 96]

Im a Raven to the end and I'm not giving up on my Squad no matter what! LETS GO! Some people throwing the towel in and on that 10 count the Ravens will pull that win out! "RELENTLESS FAN"!

We don't need a number one draft pick. Most teams picking that early will be looking for a QB if there is a good one.

and when they dont find it, theyll start picking other useful players that we need, like receivers, safeties, and tackles

[Fastynart]

Now that there is no reason to hope for a playoff spot, we can concentrate on what is really important about the rest of the year. First and foremost, let people play (Harbaugh) so you can find out who you want next year. Winning this game or any other means nothing but we can use it to evaluate personnel. Who dogs it and who steps up, that is what counts. Chances are the Ravens will lose tonight, especially given their penchant for getting stupid penalties and lack of discipline. Watch the personnel and not the score. You will have a much better time.

Pats lost and I am loving it. Plus they are complaining about some calls. Too bad. Get over it we had to. Go Ravens.

Dean Pees is horrible!

Ravens 8th in the league in preventing TDs in the Red Zone...because they get torched from more than 20 yards out with regularity.

fire pees today

We finished a game that wasn't because of Tuckers kick. Special teams was huge tonight.

Why would tanking be smart for a head coach? You said it yourself, we haven't been swept by the Browns since who knows win. But factoring that out, think of it like this. One draft isn't necessarily going to change the dynamic of a team. If he tanks this season he'll be on the hot seat for next season. Whereas if he finishes the season strong by at least beating division foes, he saves himself a job for a other season

I agree and disagree. We don't need the #1 pick. Plenty of guys in this draft with high value we can get in the top 10. Ramsey and vargrave for instance. However, Titans hold the #1 pick and they likely won't pick a qb since they just drafted mariota. Same pretty much goes for the Browns at #2 since they drafted qbs in the first Rd 2-3 season and believe in manziel if he can keep his head straight. Charger may be in the market for a qb, but they'll probably work with Rivers contract and draft a qb in the later rds. That's 3 of the top drafting teams that don't need a qb. A lot of the struggling teams this season actually have solid qb play, or invested too much to draft another early this soon

I have to say the guys are really playing hard.....but we really need a qb....and OL help....

Why do we need a qb? And why do we need one early, especially when this is supposedly a weak qb class?
