Good player? Probably. Good guy? Definitely!

Welcome back 88.

[FloridalovesRavens]

I am nervous for him. I will probably not see the whole game here but I do have Red Zone. If they treat us fairly I should see some of the game. Go Ravens!

[ellicottraven]

I am just so worried for our TE corps after Watson was IRed. I am worried Pitta is going to injure himself and therefore the Ravens depth.

[The Greek]

good luck to you. have a healthy season

[hen826957]

Wow what a story. I'm glad your back Dennis. ?

Watson was a huge blow but l'm not worried. We got a lot of depth at TE. ?

[iluvpurple]

I think us fans will be just as nervous and emotional watching him on the field of play for the first time in 2 years, I just pray he stays safe out there ??

Am i the only that didn't know he was even playing Sunday? I didn't know he fully recovered from his finger injury. I look forward to playing him. I was looking forward to seeing Watson on the field but, we have a lot of depth at TE. Pitta, Gillmore, Williams, Boyle, Waller. Not worried

Waller is out for the first 4 games and Boyle for the first 10. So there are 3 TEs, each of them injured at some point in this preseason. So, you should be somewhat worried imo.

Go get um Dennis! Play like a Raven, we are behind you all the way! He cannot be on edge, he needs to go out there and give it his all and take the risk as all players do. We will rally behind him.

[JimmyBlack]

Pitta is an excellent receiver and will be the focus of everyone's attention when he makes his first reception. I hope that he remains healthy all season, but I will be holding my breath every time he takes a hit. It will be the same way every time Perriman gets hit, too.

[Purple Dawg 96]

Don't over work Pitta but he will do good at the 10 yd line or closer because Pitta is the only player that can catch Joe's bullets like they did in 2012 repeatedly! If anyone feels they can catch it step up Houshmandzadeh and Anquan couldn't!
WE THE BEST!

Umm Boldin caught basically everything thrown his way. Especially in the SB run down the stretch of the season to make playoffs and throughout playoffs.

[KidNme]

It will be nice to see a full game plan Sunday. Buffalo is hurting and although it's never easy, we should prevail and that will go a long way with the young guys. We have a pretty good schedule to start the season and that should also play well for the rookies as well as Pitta. Looking forward to Sunday 1pm! Go Ravens!!

[OzzieBisciotti]

I sincerely hope this young man doesn't blow up his hip again- good luck, son

[law215]

Praying for no injuries. Best of luck this season.

Game against the pats Anquan dropped it in the endzone bounced off his chest remember? ! "Bullet"!

Ive watched Red zone a number of times and have yet to see the Ravens on there.

That's because they only show teams inside the 20 about to score a TD.....lol #No More FG

[Ravensfansince03]

Hoping our guys stay healthy the entire season. And, to our backups and practice squad players godspeed

Red Zone shows EVERY TD of every game. For the Ravens or the other team. It's a live "around the league" show. Apparently, you're not watching while they play, or neither team is doing anything while you watch. It's not a highlight show! I saw the Ravens on there all the time last year with all the close games they played. Hopefully, they come out on top a few more times this year.

"Treat us fairly?" I don't think you understand what the Red Zone is all about.

[Rav'n Maniac]

With certainty, I know Pitta will be fine. When I used my american express card yesterday, the authorization code was 88PITTA88.

Or just go to an establishment that has the NFL Sunday Ticket so you can watch the WHOLE game.

[Ravenshine]

A long road to recovery, such patience AND determination. Glad you're back 88!

Boldin made up for the 2010 drop vs Pittsburgh

[Raven_Lunatic]

I rememeber that game. It was brutal. Housh and Boldin both. And then the next year iirc Evans couldn't get it done either. So glad Boldin came through for us after that though. Me and my buddy used to call it "The Anquan Boldin Show" for a while there. I even started to yell it out when we were at the Detroit pre-season game! lol Just glad it didn't turn out to be his day though ;)

[Peter Griffin]

Pitta has been one of my favorite players since he got to Baltimore.
I hope he stays healthy and has a great year....Good Luck!!!!
