lol. Yep. I still can't really login unless I'm using incognito. So weird. But I'm in and I'm back!

At least the defense mostly showed up today.

A total farce. The Ravens are a walking SNAFU.

I expect more of Bullock & or Cleveland in this game, should open holes even you could run through

I have issues with him. But I questions Turdy's outsized influence on personnel. I have seen to many harbaugh nepo fixer upper picks. That is all John. That screams he has huge influence on who is brought in. The scouts have been undermined.

But you will get coach speak about how proud he is of them and how everyone is accountable.

I don’t think he is leaving now at all. Feinbaum and co made this a media issue. The agent would have said jump or not. This kid will make more in nil in school than dropping out of the 1st.

Monk is a class act.

Joe getting hurt made the call for him. Like I have said along for the ride. No decisions that make the team win or lose.

Yes. He said he wasn’t leaving the team to his kids. He negotiated the renovations that will produce a lot more revenue. He is maximizing value now. The only reason is to get the largest return on a sale.

Let’s trade a coach.

Jones back...Stanley and Washington still out

No no no. Then you lose a shootout with Lamar, the goal is to keep Lamar off the field with the run. It also exhausts the d. In the 2nd half go play action for the kill.

Looks like I’m actually going to see the game. I was going to the Willie Nelson show so was going to miss watching.

No d will be l8ke the 2000 team. The rules are so different now.

Nobody has told me what he did to win that sb. As always along for the ride. if a mouse is on a bullet train that travels at 350 mph between cities is it the fastest mouse in the world? No. If that train derails did the mouse just sitting in the corner make it happen? No. The mouse was along for the ride and whatever happens happens.

I still would rather they go back to the 'old days' ruling that you can't help a ball carrier go forward by pushing or pulling. I've seen some teams now pushing the pile ahead when it's not even 3rd or 4th and short. It's getting out of hand.

Agree about Rush. I'm pulling for him. Yeah, I saw the Starks /Mosley article. Actually, I'm hoping Starks is better than Mosely.

A nice little write up and slide show for camp thus far https://www.wbaltv.com/article/10-developing-storylines-second-week-ravens-training-camp/65566468

I know I'm really looking forward to it. I'm ready for some football!

Here it is, official: https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/mike-green-rookie-contract-ravens-second-round-pick-2025. Good...one last distraction.

Well I guess a bunch of 2nd rounders will lose a season of pay and a season of service time.

I don't have a good feeling about this. I like the current idea where winning the division has meaning. And, I don't like it that if team A has beaten team B that the latter could be seeded above the former.

If I were the team I’m bring catering with me.for just that reason.

Thanks for the updates. I can’t bear to watch.

Gonna be frozen ground, I hope Lamar brings a ton of sets of cleats to ensure good footing when cutting.

I agree no team is perfect. But the teams that have the tools to hamper this offense are here. I don’t like having a qb that is so easily confounded. And a qb like that who has gotten overconfident on the weak concerns me in the playoffs. Again it’s the losing the same way that concerns me.

Never has anyone made more excuses for a position than Dan.

Remember ngatas 2nd season? He missed the pro bowl even though he was awesome but that tub of goo from tenn went on a down season.

I have given up on that and every other league award given out. They are all suspect. The hof is also a joke. Horse trading for entry is bs.

Saw the trailer and it was awful.

Freaking Mike Carey.

the difference between a win and a loss is small most times. Is he or is he not a force multiplier? That’s what we paid for letting a lot of talent walk. Penalties are a hallmark of a turdy team. No doubt. He really helped me with ff today.

Agree with all of that. It looked to me that the Bengals' receivers, and Gesicki in particular, were whining about the coverage and wanting PI penalties throughout the game while what I saw was just some good man-to-man sticky coverage. And let's face it...a ref can probably call holding on every play if they want to. There's a lot of reasons this referee crew leads the league in flags thrown, just as Tsyl said before the game was ever played!

I see many talking heads calling out the refs for some calls. One comes to mind, they claim holding on Gisike on the 2 pt try. But as Bart Scott points out, Gisikie was trying to draw a foul, stuck his arm between the arms of the defender, then flailing and falling to the ground. No, the penalty should have been on him for unsportsmanlike.. Sure, Burrow got hit in the face mask, but did you notice the holding be done to that defender? No call there either. Or how about, on the same play, the hands to the face being done to VanNoy? All 3 penalties, 2 on the Bengals, one on the Ravens, happened right in front of the flag happy official, but he called none of them. I could point out others on the Bengals defense for holding in the secondary, or illegal contact on them, but we're not called. Yes, sure, Cinci only had 3 penalties, yes, sure, believe what you want. We have a great quarterback now, running, passing, buying time and weapons who know how to get open. Now to fix the pass defense as so many players said in the locker ooh after the game.

Let me start with 11-3 in numbers. Yes, the Ravens won that stat too; penalties. So you are saying the Bengals only had 3 penalties? With that much of a pass rush to always be a step behind? With shifty receivers like Flowers and Bateman? Only 3 on a night when the Ravens had 11? I'll get to the game, the incredible game in a minute, almost done wathing the 6 times a member of the Ravens was rushing, trying to get inside to sack a moving Burrow, but was held, seen, and not called.

Good run by Jackson there on 3rd and 10.
