[News] Who's Playing, Who's Not vs. New York Giants

[hen826957]

Well it looks like Joe is gonna get killed. Half of our O-line is gone. It's starting to feel like last year. At first, my confident was still good when we won the first three games and thought we would get better each week but the lost against the Skins really lost my confidence and how really bad we performed. It's not looking good this year (so far).

[metalraven]

Just run the damn ball. I'd be thrilled with a Matt Cavanaugh run run pass punt.

It's safer than Joe throwing one of those missile "passes" directly into the ground as soon as the ball is snapped.

hahahaha. hilarious

[metalraven]

looks like last year all over again, I dont think Harbaugh can survive another losing season. Dumervil needs to call it a career.

Ya. He was our sack "leader" last year with 6.5. Dude is one trick pony, and needs someone opposite him to even be a threat. He's done.

Yes. DID-mervil

It should be, "Who's playing" and who's showing up.......It should be interesting to see how Joe reacts- in the pocket, THIS week. "React", being the key word. I've been ready for a QB change for ALONG time (the strong arm bit only goes so far.....ask Jay Cutler) Anyone else ?

[TheConquerorWorm]

It's all good. Just list everyone as questionable, doubtful, etc. Then all us fans can be pleasantly surprised when more players take the field than the report suggests.

It's pretty simple - if they practice, they play. If they don't practice, they don't play. That's Harbaugh's policy. So expect to see Stanley but not Yanda (who might be the only exception to that rule #HOF)

[sizzlingdoom]

Boy, I thought the Ravens hired a new trainer and change things up to cut back on the soft tissue injuries. Well it isn't working. Hate to say this but the Ravens truly feel snake bitten. Yet another rough year is upon us guys. 6 - 10 at best.

6-10...........hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You'll probably have to stash your readiness for a good while (=barring an injury).

Luckily...

[BigUgly]

It's beginning to look a lot like last year with the injuries.  At this rate, Joe won't last much longer either.  It really is depressing.  To some extent, it correlates with older players (Doom, Yanda, SSS, Watson, Suggs last year, Wallace), but that doesn't explain the other half of the injuries.

The younger, less experienced guys are gonna have to really step up the coaches - especially on offense - will have to come up with ways to minimize the impact of the loss of the starters.

[Rav'n Maniac]

I think we spread them wide and deep, then run it down their throats all day long until we draw them up in the box. then we burn them with the pass.

yeah, they should have dumped Flacco right after the last SB win, just like they did with Dilfer. What were they thinking?

[Rat]

It's really interesting and disappointing to read the virus of negativity starting to take hold.....do I have concerns? Certainly.....but Doom sucks, Ready for a new QB, all our injuries, give me a break.....stop complaining. Mess happens....like injuries...and loses. Call me when the next team, any team has no loses and no injuries...
By the way...Giants report looks almost as bad as our....but no comments about that....

We beat the Giants with the youth movement....

Skins are decent team. No reason to be so down on the Ravens for the loss.
I'm as upset as anybody for the fake punt and 2nd half 1 sec. left play...
But this is Harbaugh Football keep it close and kick a FG for the win.

[CQ1]

Tomorrow will tell alot. Alot. Godspeed.

Roger that Bio. Joe needs to do all that he can to win- and not worry too much (smartly) about any injury..... a delicate balance there. Todays prototype QB (i.e. Cam, RWilson) can both throw and smartly escape the pocket (for the most part). Its a shame with Joe he can- but is reluctant to leave the pocket- especially, when the defense gives him half the field in front of him (at times). Joe has to step up and carry this team- point blank.

[Rav'n Maniac]

The one thing that should benefit us this week is that no one on this planet (outside the Ravens) knows what to expect from Marty and this offense. How can the Giants game plan against our offense without guessing, They Can't!!!

We have to use that to our advantage.

[eze17]

Has there been any Will Davis sightings recently? He's like Bigfoot - you hear his name, but no one has been able to get proof that he's actually on the team...

[eze17]

Beginning to sound like another rebuilding year. If that's the case then don't be so eager to win games. Remember, the fewer the wins the better the draft number we get next year. Sorry to be so cynical, gang, but it is starting to look dismal.

Why does it look so dismal? Last I saw we have one of the top defense's in the league. What team out there is so dominant? Squeelers? Pats? Broncs? I've seen them all have bad loses to supposedly weaker teams this year, so I'm not buying into how horrible the Raven's chances are, which is mainly being put out there by "media experts" who have always disliked the Ravens, and always will. Glad we're underdogs with so many lame fans who cry doom & gloom every time anything goes wrong! Give this team no respect, that's always been the best case for us winning games "that we have no right to win"...

[Crusader]

I'm starting to wonder if Ravens have more holes on this team than last year.

He is a 9 yr veteran QB. He should be able to call plays at the line that maximize his protection. But I guess we shouldn't expect that from a player that has signed 2 $120M+ contracts.
We should build a mobile brick wall for him so he just sit back a throw darts. He's definitely going to the HOF if we can do that for him.

My friend 2012 is 4 yrs ago. I doubt if your employer is paying you today for work you did in 2012, or you paying an employee for work he or she did in 2012. Since the Super Bowl, I believe only starters still on the team are Yanda, Suggs, Webb (injured and didn't play most of 2012), and Flacco.

I guess we should just not expect Flacco to play well (just show up every game get handed the Starting QB job stink it up or not) till he turns 40 and retire. At that point we can then start putting together another team with intention to win.

Sarcasm doesn't look well on you. I'd like to see you do as well coming off acl, mcl injury.

I thought this site was for Ravens fans but all I read are whining and down right negative and insulting comments. You should be ashamed to call yourselves fans. You've decided in your own little minds that the season is over. Last time I looked we were 3-2 and that is still a winning record. Unbelievable!!! Stop watching the games you are jinxing the team.

Ok now the ACL/MCL is the new excuse. If you guys can just hold Flacco to half the expectation that every other player is held, it would be fairy reasonable. Here's a guy whose performance is most congruent to the team's fortune or demise, and yet been most inconsistent. He has never ever been benched from day one. He has had the opportunity to master his position, but yet every week there's a new excuse.

Appreciate your optimism. Fans have different personalities. Everyone is not the cheer leader type. Evens season ticket holders who support the team in anyway imaginable sometimes boo if the team isn't playing well. Being critical doesn't mean lack of support.

[JamesA119]

Isn't it interesting to read Harbaugh's comments about Correa. They have no confidence in him beyond the special teams. He is quickly becoming this year's Arthur Brown. Meanwhile a 5th round pick Matt Judon, and undrafted Michael Pierce are excelling. This is important because the Ravens bypassed a few players that were rated higher by the national sports media to draft him in the 2nd round

Starting to feel like Deja view all over again.

lol......... stink it up. Well mi amigo, unlike you and a few others who don't seem to actually watch the games, I think Flacco has played extremely well most of the time in the past 4 years with at times, little or no support. If you think Flacco's play has been the issue I would suggest following another sport.
