So he wasn't open but he was open? Seriously MAN you should at least take one of those Sally Struthers correspondence courses. Some education is better than none.

Wut? Do you know what open means? Do you realize that the db has to make a play on the ball so when the ball is in the air the db leaves his man to play the ball? Drc was tightly covering aiken while flacco had the ball, he was still covering him when he released the ball, Joe would have never been throwing to an open aiken, he was never even close to open until the ball was halfway to the endzone. This is laughable.

If we win this game, we're at 4-3, after that you got Pitt and I think we'll take that one. Nothing bad about a 5-3 record. After that its Cleveland which is another game I think we should win. 6-3 is a great start to a first half of the season. Dallas will be difficult but if we steal that one it's 7-3. I don't know why you all are ready to cut this season short. There's still a lot of time. 

I'll have what you're smoking...

Between that, people not understanding the Wallace play was a miscommunication and everyone harping on the 4th and goal decision it's just not worth it anymore. People really think Aiken was that wide open is laughable, use common sense.

It's ridiculous. The 4th and 1 call was the right call that almost every coach makes. Wallace stopped on that pass and Joe led him to the endzone which is clearly a lack of chemistry between 2 players who have only played together for 6 games. People don't know where to point fingers but they sure as hell do it anyway

LOL, what is it that I said was insane or blasphemous. Please tell me. 

[PurpleCity5]

I hope he doesn't get the start. He ripped Buffalo to shreds. With our luck he might turn his brain on.

Exactly, everyone wants to fire everyone after a loss. Losing sucks, but you can still be rationale about it. I'm actually really angry about the two intentional fouls on Wallace that ended up being great for the Giants. Just a frustrating loss overall with the all too familiar defensive breakdown at the end after a late go ahead score by the offense. If we lose to the Jets.......

[RavensPunkXVX]

There are some positives with our team. They aired it out more with Marty which is huge. The defense is forcing turnovers. The Ravens just have to be more efficient. Stop with the penalties and the players just have to execute. We could easily beat the Jets by two scores if we don't have 235.5 yards in penalties and Joe can get some time to throw. 

Hopefully we get Stanley back, AT LEAST. I'd like to see Lewis at RT.

How long are we rationalizing our poor performances on injury? I'm not saying injuries don't matter, but frankly I don't think injuries are relegated only to the Ravens. They happen across the league and there are several teams that play through these injuries well. Case in point the Pats. I hate to say it but the Pats do it no matter who is playing because I think they plan for these things and have built in contingencies to be competitive no matter what. No Brady, no problem. No Revis, no problem, etc. We aren't very good offensively and it has nothing to do with injuries.

Yea like the Steelers.. who have a slightly hurt Big Ben - oh wait and get blown out by the Dolphins.

We're missing Yanda, Stanley, SSS, Mosley, Doom, Jimmy Smith, a hurt Suggs now... but yea just play through it. Sorry, but no other team is missing literally their top 7 players. Overcoming an injury here and there and expecting to compete is fine (and we have btw, we;ve had a chance to win all 3) but when you're missing key pieces and then youre only effective pass rusher, and only CB capable of taking away their biggest offensive weapon go down, its tough.

Take away Sherman, Bennett and Wagner and I bet seattles D loses some serious bite.

 

We're not talking just losing players, or even starters. We're talking like our top 7 contributors not including Weddle. Mosley was playing lights out, Suggs has been our only consistent pass rush outside Jernigan, and Jimmy is Jimmy.

Yanda is the best guard in the league, Stanley our only player capable of being a very good LT, and OL's in general struggle when you take away cohesion (look at how bad Philly struggled without just Lane Johnson). SSS is our only established and reliable target with Joe. He hasnt played much with Aiken, and Perriman/Wallace/Moore are all brand new to him.

Yet we've still been in it at the death in all 3 games. We need to win. No excuses.

But the Patriots are the exception, not the rule. 

And anyways, losing Brady when youve got a full offseason to prepare for his absence is not the same as losing your two best OL, best WR, and 3-4 of your best 5 defenders mid-week or mid-game even.

With the way the Jets are stinking up the joint, I don't see how the Ravens lose this game. Our defense is better than Arizona's as long as Jimmy is healthy, and I see West having a big day against them. This should be a win. But seriously, can we please see some overload blitzing every once in a while. Part of the reason we get no pressure is because its the same blitz every time. Mix it up a little Pees.

[ravensnj]

Jeremy Butler was acquired by the Jets! 

 

I am sooooooo glad Fitz is playing so awful, that Jeremy won't have a decent game against us.

The Jets blitzed constantly last night and they will do the same to the Ravens. It has been proven that Joe folds under pressure and I hope that the Ravens will have the right schemes in place to exploit those packages the way the Cardinals were able to exploit. The Jets defense was gassed in the end and Palmer picked them apart to close out the game. If the Ravens don't get up early and stay up, this game will go the same way the last 3 weeks have gone. Hopefully, they get some of the OL back, otherwise it will be a long day and we know that once Joe is rattled, the game is over. And, if they cannot muster a pass rush, the Jets have the receivers to take advantage of the time to get open. With the banged-up secondary, this could be a long game.

I have to agree. The Jets have what that the Ravens struggle with; a one dimensional offense, a stud WR, a high blitzing D and nose tackle that has man handled Zuttah.

Asa Jackson re signs with Ravens. Where are we going with this?

He's someone familiar with the defense. Better than bringing someone in who is on his level and will have a longer adjustment period. Best case scenario is that he plays similarly to Shareece Wright from last year and Rashaan Melvin from two years ago. Someone who can step up and surprise you, but definitely not someone who you want to depend on next year.

He's been added to PS but yeah...

Some rumours around we might be resigning Camp, too. When injuries start piling up, what better move to make than to bring in couple players with a great record health wise.

So I read Fitz has thrown no TDs and TEN INTs in the 2nd half. It'd be such a Raven thing to do to allow him to throw multiple TDs and no INTs.

The 4th & goal decision isn't the issue to me.  I love the aggressiveness!  However, it's the fact that this offense is so horrendous that it couldn't even get the TD within the other 3 downs.

Returner insurance and CB depth because it couldn't be worse than Sunday after jimmy went out

LOL not happening. We will be lucky to win.....with our secondary Fitzpatrick is gonna look like a pro bowler and rock star.

Im sure Jimmy will play. Concussions don't normally require an extensive length of time. It's not like he got shot in the back of the head.

Oh right it's only the most cautiously handled of injuries in the whole league and the only one where the player and team has no say and they must be cleared by specific doctors.

Jimmy will be out if he had a concussion sunday, bottom line. NFL doesn't play with those.

If the Ravens lose to the Jets with Geno Smith at Qb then this team has serious issues. I would'nt know what to say anymore about this team and that something needs to change. So l hope we win this game. This game should be winnable for Ravens.

Well they already announced Fitpatrick will start but if we could pick him off a few times could see Geno.

[Passepartout]

Really started out at 3-0, now 3-3. It is a must win game.

The Ravens have sunk to EVEN by the oddsmakers for the Jets game. They may have started the season 3-0 but they're viewed as a bottom-rung team. How the mighty have fallen. smh

Considering they have home-field advantage (which is worth 3 points), the fact that this is a pick-em spread says the oddsmakers believe that we're better than the Jets, all things being even. If this game was at Baltimore, it'd be a 6 point spread, just to put things in perspective.

Alex Lewis just missed a game because of a concussion, and it's not like he had a concussion history. Other players will get IR'd by concussions (see: Sam Shields, who was IR'd just yesterday). Seems like sustaining a concussion puts you out a minimum of 1 game these days. -Plus, given the Bye week coming up, it might just make sense to sit him out for a week, since that'd give his brain just under 3 weeks to "heal."

Cam Newton suffered a concussion week one against Denver and still played the very next game.

 

Remember when Ben suffered a concussion in a playoff game against us and only sat a few plays before coming back out and throwing a pick.
