Next Up: Baltimore Ravens vs Washington, M&T Bank stadium 10/09/2016

Is this game here yet? I got this acid reflux in my mouth.

We'll win in another nail biter. Hopefully, Stanley and Lewis return. And please, Kenneth Dixon- be ready and at full strength.

[K-Dog]

I am going to this one.  35-4 is my attendance record.

Here is the thing though.  IF we win, that is fine, if we loose,,,, every time the Skins have beaten us in regular season, we have gone on to win the Super Bowl that season.

For what that is worth....

All both times?  Not enough of a trend for me.  I'd rather the win.

Looking forward to a West/Dixon combo running behind a healthy o-line

I was expecting him to be as good as Sterling Shepard ATLEAST. I was sadly mistaken.

It hurts watching Shepard and Diggs play so well, when they could have been Ravens. Our Scouts have no clue what a good receiver looks like. Good thing there is free agency, or we would be up the creek. Washington has a few Wr's and a great Te...hint hint.  We need to have a legit game plan against them, better than the one we put together for Crabtree.

I will admit, I'm still salty about us passing on Diggs. I wanted him badly here.

Just a small tidbit: When Bill Belichick personally comes down to watch a receiver's Pro day, you should atleast give him some consideration.  Funny, NE dropped the ball too!

I wanna see a double digit win. I'm serious. The last time we had a double digit win was in 2014. That's just not going to get it done for a Football team overall. If you're a good team, then you should be able to win some games handily.

4th round rookie RB still going to be our savior? ?

If Stanley isnt back I have this penciled in as an L. Our oline needs to play better. And we need to be smarter coaching wise. 

 Skins DL is no where near Oakland.

He can start by playing like a physical freak, which he so far has not.

Who will be sat down for Waller to be active?

[Edug27]

Keys to week 5

1. Get Stanley and Lewis back out there.

2. Start Young in place of Wright.

3. Commit to the run game whether its working or not.

4. Rotate in the young pass rushers when Suggs and Doom aren't getting it done.

5. Blitz!

TBD if he will even be active.

With Gillmore and Williams looking dead I'd say Waller needs to be given one more chance.

It will definitely be interesting to see what the Ravens do here....I think these are the top possibilities (in no particular order)

 

-Waller gets cut and we hope we can get him on practice squad

-Forsett gets cut

-Carter gets cut

-A CB gets cut (7 is a lot to carry on the roster---my guess would be Powers or Price)

-Someone is more banged up than we know about and goes to IR

-Longshot---we trade Aiken to somebody for a mid to late round draft pick since he isn't getting much playing time and it is highly unlikely he re-signs after this season--maybe a team desperate for another WR will make a trade based on his numbers last year

[Cillmatic]

De-activate Za'darius Smith and put Judon back in, he looked LEAGUES above Smith when he was playing.

Heading into the bye at 4-1 would be huge. Let everyone get healthy and get ready to face a tough Giants team. 

I believe the bye is week 8 not week 6.

After yesterday's game, we'd have to give a pick to a team to take Aiken

Just got this from Reddit, "The Ravens have not won a game by more than one score in 638 days".

That should be an indicator that there is something up with both the team and yes, coaching staff. You cannot continue to be in these close games because eventually you will drop one. Three straight 1 score games and we drop one to Oakland, not a surprise because it's going to hit you.

When you include the days in the year it seems like a long time but yes, we have not won by double digits in nearly 2 years, of course we have to remember that we did beat the Steelers 30-17 in the Wild Card but it's been a very long time since we've won a game by two scores. Of course you will find yourself in situations in which you have to gut out the win, but its always great for your team to get a big win and for some reason we have no had one in a long time.

yep...its just baffling to me. Its almost like they do it on purpose just to put on a show. Were either playing from behind or right on the fringe of putting a team away and always screw up and let them hang around until the 4th quarter where we either lose the lead and  have to rely on a 2 minute drive and tuckers leg or rely on our defense to make one stop and not give up a feild goal or TD. Its gotten to the point where I literally almost can't even watch and would rather just catch the replay on gamepass after I already know the result.
