  1. LOL...well the game did get a 10-10 from IGN. I'll be buying it in about 6 months after I finish with DC Universe online.
  2. Oh boy..papa is more glass half full than I am right now. Perhaps I do need to do a self-assessment lol
  3. 1-4 Pittsburgh just won their first so they have a little bit of confidence. The best thing the Ravens can do is go up early, kill any confidence they've built up and create that "here we go again" feeling in the minds of the Steelers. Too bad our offense hasn't shown the ability to do that in 6 games. Rust Buckets 17, Ravens 14. I hope i'm wrong.
  4. Yes, we have lost to teams we should have beaten in the past, are you trying to make my point that we shouldn't be favored for me? By the way, you know what else we have done in the past? Stink on the road. For the record I do think the O-line will get better this season, but I don't know when that will happen. I would assume if it doesn't happen this week it will likely happen after the bye week. The pressure is already high and another loss, especially to a 1-4 division rival, would send it into fever pitch level. Monroe will eventually get better with more reps and Yanda and O have to return to form sooner or later. Gradkowski will improve or be benched. I never said the Ravens have no chance in Pittsburgh, rather what I have said is that I agree with the over/under line considering the state of our Offensive line. In my opinion those of you who are surprised that the Ravens are not favored aren't realistically looking at our weaknesses as a team. Like VA I think this is going to be an ugly toss up.
  5. I agree that we need to sweep the Steelers. We need 7 wins in the next 10 games so we're going to need to beat most of our opponents going forward. That said, we have already lost to two teams that had worse records than we do and since our Oline cannot run block or consistently keep defenders off our QB i'm not sure why people think we should be favored against anyone especially on the road.
  6. I've watched enough of both teams to see that the Steelers and Ravens have very similar teams. Both have poor Olines that have lead to weak running games and lots of turnovers. Both defenses are fairly solid - the Ravens have the edge in creating pressure and forcing turnovers. The Steelers have a better secondary. I think the Steelers offense is closer to figuring it out than the Ravens O is, which is why I give them the edge as the better team right now.
  7. The Steelers are the better team right now. Our offense is a joke.
  8. LOL...we all knew this was going to happen. What a bunch of schmucks
  9. Will Demps! LOL..I forgot about Dee's love for him. Happy birthday Dee!
  10. If you are one of the people that want Joe gone you will get your wish. He won't last 3 more games if he keeps taking shots like he has the past two weeks.
  11. It's a long story. My contract was up in September. Back in August I called to get the exact date i would be done...DTV offered me free Sunday Ticket with a 2 year contract and $10 off a month. I turned them down because the guy let it slip that I could get better deals out of contract. I called back after my contract was up and told them I wanted their best deal to avoid switching. I got $30 off a month. I called back two weeks later and asked for Free Sunday ticket (like it says in their website for new customers). The first customer service person I talked to said it wasn't available. I called back again and told them somebody in their retention dept had already offered it to me with a 2 year contract and I got transferred to that department...the lady that answered the phone said she would give it to me with a 1 year contract extension. The important things: be out of contract and speak to the retention department (department you get if you try to cancel).
  12. I think Vonte was in there for all 4 plays
  13. No, we don't need to overreact, but we need to react. Here are the facts: We're 3-3, which means we need to go 7-3 just to win 10 games this season. Our signature win is against a team that is 2-4 and lost 4 straight.We just lost, at home, to a team that without it's best defender and 2 of it's top 5 offensive weapons. The Oline has shown no improvement 6 games into the season. Stay the course and get ready to lose to Pittsburgh and be 7-9 this season.
  14. Same here in Pittsburgh, but I always get it just to avoid missing 1 game. I got it for free this year by agreeing to a 1 year contract extension.
  15. Unfortunately there are idiots in every fan base. I remember people cheering here when Boller got hurt.
  16. It's a combo of both, noone is playing well right now on the line but I think part of that is this stupid scheme Castillo installed. Our running game has never been this bad. Did you see those holes Lacy was running through?
  17. #1, It was 6 games including the postseason stretch where Flacco threw 11 TDs and no picks. #2 If Cams plays were so good why did we suck so bad with Cam calling them?
  18. Harbs talks about wanting to be an aggressive team, but there is something to be said for understanding your limitations. I realize the score could have been different and we still may have lost had Harbs not made those two decisions. I just thought there were head scratches given how bad the line was performing.
  19. True. Doss is getting better but seriously...year 3 and you don't think to get 2 feet down in the end zone?
  20. Again what game were you watching? In the run game he was getting pushed back into Rice. In the passing game he was letting guys through on delayed blitzes all day.
  21. I don't know why you keep calling for Caldwell's head. We didn't have these problems last season when his plays took us to the SB. The difference is Castillo and Gradkowski.
  22. Harbaugh had 2 dumb decisions that cost us 3 points and gave GB 3 points. We lost by 2 points. The Oline collectively are the biggest goats of the game, but Harbs is not far behind. Flacco was not to blame today...I don't know what game you were watching Crav
  23. I don't blame Rice or Pierce for the lack of a running game, not when the opposing defenfenders are already in their face by the time they get the handoff. I don't know if Castillo is to blame because it really looks like the guys are just not executing. I do know Castillo has had ample time to fix the issues and hasn't done it, so he is definitely not a part of the solution. Some changes need to be made. Cut ties with Castillo, put Shipley in for Gradkowski...something. We've tried this for 6 weeks and the running game has only worked once.
  24. Boy were you wrong!
  25. rastaman i'm with you. It took me a week but I am fully on the bench Gradkowski bandwagon.
