The Ravens will find a way to squander it away and lose at least 2 of the last 3 games and blow the playoff chances again. Harbaugh is going to be canned after the Bengals game. Mark it down in sharpie. If Ozzie was smart, he would find a way to get rid of Flacco in the offseason and get a competent QB in here to play some actual football. 85% of his passes and under 5 yards. That is a clueless quarterback who cannot read of bait a defense into any successful play.

Well my dear don't watch then you won't be disappointed if we win. You do have a way with words though I'll give you that. Go Ravens!

Why don't the Raven just get rid of Jimi Smith. He is always hurt and not a good cornerback anyway. All of the Anylist admits that he is just a so so cornerback and really should not be 1st string! I totally agree!

Idk where thats coming from. Hes a very good cornerback. His health issues have been a little overstated. Either way cutting him would incur like 17 million in dead space against the cap.

There literally is not a single professional analyst who thinks Jimmy shouldn't be 1st string. He is by far our top corner, and there is a major drop off without him. Did you read the LWF article today? Our defense ranks #1 in the NFL when he's on the field, and #27 without him. Our pass defense is dead last without him.

Yes, let's get rid of the head coach/qb that have more playoff wins than anyone in the league since they've been here.

Idk if anyone saw, but Nick Boyle #86 was making the silent plays that really showed why he is worth keeping. Great in blocking, there was one play where Kennith Dickson got stood up after a run. Nick Boyle came from behind him and basically wrapped up Dixon and pushed him forward for more yardage. The technique he used in that split second was so smart and showed his determination and refusal to back down. By him wrapping up Dixon he prevented other tacklers from hitting Dixon directly. If Doyle can stay off the drugs, or at least keep from getting caught, he will be good.

It will be refreshing to see Gillmore back in the action catching passes as well.

Probably Jeff Fisher & Case Keenum :)

Build a defense that prevents teams like the patriots from scoring 30 points in any game. Forget the offense. They are useless when the defense lets a team score 30 points. Good defense beats good offense every time. Special teams can't be manned by washed up returners like Hester in the future. We need speed and more speed and good hands.

Okay you name one QB who Ozzie could get that could come in next season and take the Ravens to an AFC North Championship. After that name a coach. We will all wait....

of course jimmy isnt playing hes so fragile which we had someone more consistant that you can depend on at the position

[dirtybird66]

does having or not having any of these players if FLACCO is a mediocre qb.the patriot's put 8 guys in coverage knowing we can't sustain drives and drives of short passing plays down the field,penalties,missed routes,droped ball's,and the also bet on the most key thing,the RAVEN'S can't make ajustments,they played that defense from beginning to end and we had no answer.

[Crusader]

Well Jimmy's going to be the second highest player on the Ravens for the next three years. Another Webb contract.

[Crusader]

I hope next time the Ravens think long and hard before they pay for a "Francine" QB. Both times the Ravens won the Superbowl they won it NOT paying the big money to one guy. Its sicking to hear Ravens "can't keep" this guy or that guy because one guy is taking most of the money. Jimmy Smith's contact is another boondoggle for years to come.

The Ravens will need to use some creative D this Sunday. They need to keep the pressure coming and give the CB's help at the same time. So the Line backers are going to need to really put on their game! Lets do it Defense! Lets look for A. Levine, ZaD, CJ, Ewed and Webby to contribute big this week.

Offense keep splitting the running game, it worked against Miami. Even run Juice and the WR's. Quick slants and 12 yard gains are very very important, Joe keep hitting the receivers its their job to catch the ball, lets get back to it. Go Offense!

Special Teams- Its time to see Campy take one to the house! Tucker is unstoppable, Kock pin'm deep. Go Team!

This is Our House!

Im not sure if all 4 TEs are going to be active when they're all healthy.

[stampedehero]

Jimmy Smith's presence means Wright has to earn his paycheck and bring his A game. We know Wentz will target that section of the field. If our front 7 creates havoc they can abolish Eagles opportunities. We have to win our last three to be in

[Rav'n Maniac]

This team needs a Cajun Traiteur on staff for situations like these with Jimmy's injury. Willing to try anything at this point.

I can give countless examples of "how the NFL works" doesn't. Watch what happens when Dallas has to pay their QB.

Where are your countless examples? And watch what happens when they pay him 4 years from now? LOL

[ByTheBay]

My optimism is fading now that Jimmy is hurt again. Wright is awful and I mean really awful. He will allow philly to throw downfield all day long. IMHO when healthy, Jimmy and mosley are the 2 irreplaceable players on our defense. I don't understand how some of the posters can't see how important he is. Did you not watch the giants game? Couldn't have been more obvious. What I really worry about is jimmy missing the pit game. We would be toast in Pittsburgh. And cincy? Might be over folks.  

[Crusader]

Of the top ten paid QB 's only three are in the playoffs. That 30% You think that just quinceidenc? If your going pay that then your drafts and coaches have to be above average. Kubiak proved that he is above average.

[Crusader]

Sport Nation " Paying QB big can make winning hard in the NFL" Adam Stites.

[Derrel]

Smith has never stayed on the field but to me the biggest disappointment has been Eric Weddle. Talks too much and gives up too many big plays. That one against NE was a 79 yard touchdown. What a joke our DBs are again. Embarrassing performance. Ravens can't play with the top AFC teams again this year.
