Sleep until about noon or 1 pm on Thursday and you'll be good to go.

Except their white.

Just stay up.

Hush up.

Is it wrong if I admit that was the first time I saw the dropped pass in the endzone and the missed field goal? I couldn't bring myself to watch the final two minutes of that game. I totally relied on this board for updates.

lmao.

You three are funny. I appreciate the updates. I have class on Mondays and Tuesdays and miss the show.

It is confusing enough with all the Joe's and John's in this story, which you mudding the waters! John Unitas Junior is the eldest son. Joe Unitas is the younger brother from another mother.

Um, does anyone read anything any more? Flacco isn't going to be acting. He's essentially going to be a stunt/body double for the football scenes. They expect Brad Pitt to throw an 80-yard bomb? I bet they're both mad that The Replacements didn't win an Academy Award.

I listened to the game on the radio on the way home. So awesome.

No, they'll be...

I believe you. You call everyone out.

Why? He already knows you aren't a Ravens fan.

Pollard recently told KILT-AM in Houston there is "no truth at all" to the mutiny story, adding he was "offended" by Harbaugh's handling of the reports. The word "mutiny" drew plenty of headlines. Pollard maintains Harbaugh simply "opened up the floor" and a healthy discussion ensued. He wonders why Harbaugh hasn't bothered to set the record straight. "I'm offended by that, because we walked away from that situation thinking, 'OK, everybody's on the same page. We're all good,'" Pollard said. "Like I said, I'm just a little offended that the coach never stepped up and said anything." More

Mike Preston is the source, so take with a grain of salt. Before longtime Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed signed with the Houston Texans, the widespread belief was that the Ravens were making a strong pitch to keep him in Baltimore. It turns out that might not have been the case. Mike Preston of The Baltimore Sun reports Ravens head coach John Harbaugh wasn't interested in bringing back the veteran defender despite all the speculation prior to Reed landing in Houston. Reed went on to sign a three-year, $15 million contract with the Texans. The Ravens responded by inking Michael Huff to a deal of the same length, but for $9 million less. He's expected to slide into the same role Reed played. It was interesting to see how the national media made it seem like the Ravens were in a bidding war with Houston for former safety Ed Reed. The Ravens made it appear that way out of respect for Reed, and it certainly put more money in Reed's pocket. But Ravens coach John Harbaugh wanted Reed back as much as he wants a root canal. It was the perfect time for both parties to go their separate ways. It's unclear why Harbaugh didn't want one of his stalwart defenders back after winning a championship. Whether it was due to Reed's contract demands or his age (34), the coach apparently thought going in a different direction was the wise move. Regardless, the Ravens defense will enter next season with a completely new identity. Reed and the retired Ray Lewis were the key pieces of one of the league's best defensive units over the past decade. Both are now gone. If Harbaugh truly had no interest in bringing Reed back into the fold, it shows the value of veteran leaders who understand the system might not be as high as it seems from the outside. More

It should be if you use the app.

I use them all the time.

lol.

Found that stat, but the other stats from that site vary from the official NFL stats. Not sure how reliable it is. But, if you use that site, the defense was 30th against the run 25th against the pass. So.....

Remove the emotion from the equation. Only then can an objective opinion be formed about the state of the Ravens and the players that have departed. Yes, the number of players leaving the team is jarring, shocking, and maybe even a little upsetting. It would have been great for the Ravens to keep the players that left, but realistically that is just not a possibility. The Ravens will be all the better for it. Now, take a breath. This season, more than any other, though even last year hinted at the trend, the offense was the stronger unit. Take another breath. The regular season statistics show that the offense and defense were even, finishing 16th and 17th, respectively. The offense was tenth in scoring and touchdowns, while the defense was 20th in points allowed. The offense ended the season in the top 15 in three other categories--passing (15th), rushing (11th), and receiving (14th). The unit finished 16th in total yards. These stats were accomplished with an offensive line unit ranked 20th. Additionally, special teams finished first in kick returns, third in kicking, fifth in punting, tied for seventh in field goals. The only category in which the Ravens defense was in the top 15, was in tackles (second) and sacks (tied for 15th). Now, I'm not saying that the defense was garbage and the players lost didn't contribute to the Ravens' success. Nor am I saying that the impact of the departures won't be felt. The biggest lost I believe is Anquan Boldin who contributed heavily to the success of the offense. What I am saying is that in the grand scheme of things, the majority of the players lost have been on the defensive side of the ball, from a defense that was showing its age and declining. For the Ravens, like always, it's next man up.

ROFLMAO! That is total awesomeness, right there.

Like Keith Mills, every 15 minutes. He sucks.

Well played.

This. +1
