State Of The Ravens

[ROH522155]

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that they will be observing the Ravens tonight on Total Access on the State of the Franchise thing. 7 OClock

[Ravens_fan]

Thx for heads up

[The Deadman]

hopefully good things are said

[Ed_Reed20]

I'm looking forward to it. I don't see why the team won't be as successful as they were last year. Injuries decimated the team and look at where they got.

well, after making the AFC Championship game, i would hope they would say good things. and also for the other teams ive seen, theyve been naming the 10 best players to play for that team so im hoping they do it for us too. itd be interesting to see their list

exactly. im sooooooooo excited. ive been looking at our future opponents and i think we could defenitely go 13-3. i dont see anything worse than 10-6 and usually 10-6 is good enough for a playoff spot

you never know, they always like to bash the Ravens regardless

[SUPERBOWLorBUST]

nice....good heads up

[saver509]

I totally agree. Every time you turn around people have something bad to say about B-More . It just shows they have not sense, The Ravens produce some of the best players and coaches in the NFL.......I really hope Jamie Dukes keeps his yap closed tonight! The guy does not seem to know a thing about football, he just attacks what he does not understand or agree with....

[Ed_Reed20]

Hopefully they bring in a correspondent who is close to the team and knows what he is talking about.

[The Deadman]

Mike Ditka does it on ESPN all the time, everytime theres a Ravens game he goes out of his way to attack us. he did it the year we won the super bowl

[saver509]

It still should be interesting to find out what some of the more knowledgable correspondents have to say.... Thanks for the heads upravensorioleshoyas522155 ....

Last season 8-8 went to the super bowl and 10-6 missed out. 13-3 would be better off.

It's all about the division. The Bengals and Browns still have problems so it's really up to the Ravens to challenge Pittsburgh for the crown.

This is true, but who kept the Pats out of the playoffs last season? I am drawing a blank...

You never know year from year, so don't count any team out.

i agree. Browns should be alot tougher this year seeing that they no longer have a cartoon character for a coach

Good looking out. Appreciate that.

For people who are not lucky enough to have the NFL network, I think it will be put up on NFL.com for everyone to see tomorrow.

LOL!!!!!

[20ReedsAll]

I can't wait until they bash Flacco. They're gonna be all, "Flacco really had a great run last year, but he needs to prove he can come to his own by not relying on the running game and that defense." Guarenteed. At least one "analyist" says that lol. Like it's his fault we have a good ground game and defense...

[ravensfan2430]

Im sure you guys will talk about it... but for those of us who do not have NFLN , we would appreciate any update your willing to dish...

thanks

When your team has been plagued with Chronic Quarterback Deficiency Syndrome, the only thing you can do is learn to adapt and have a good running game. However, people seem to forget that that running game and defense went 5-11 without Flacco.

By the way, your sig is awesome.

I think the Bengals are in a little better shape then the Browns. The Browns still have no defense, no passing to game to speak of, and their running game is getting really really old. With Carson Palmer the Bengals are a threat to win any game. I cant say the same about any single player on the Browns roster.

It will be online by tomorrow.

just saw the ravens sotf... willie actually had good things to say about flacco. that after the first couple games, he really seemed to adjust and grew tremendously. he said they tried to rattle him but he just seemed to keep his cool. they said they thought that now he has some game tape of himself that he has been breaking down the tape and seeing his mistakes and what teams have been trying to do to him and where he needs to improve. they also echoed what i said on another thread that we needed to get a bigger, more physical receiver that posed a redzone threat to complement the weapons we have currently. charles davis thought we had needs at WR, OL, TE and LB. He thought we would go with James Laurinitis out of Ohio State if we did not pick a WR.

You think it was because his arch-rival Buddy Ryan's son was on the team?
