  1. Booo- Yah !!!!!!!!!
  2. Damn! Things sure have imploded for this team since Saturday's blowout of the Cards. It's hard to believe how quickly the wheels can fall off the cart. Best of luck to Machado and a full recovery.
  3. With the legendary D - and Ray and Ed - being the key. That ship has sailed.
  4. All said, it makes you wonder when Ozzie and Co secure a legit backup. We have been walking a very fine, fragile line for 3 + years. If we lose Flacco for any period of time, we own the bottom of the AFCN and become the next Cleveland Browns.
  5. On to the Yanks and, as Joe Angel says, time to get back to the WIN column.
  6. The main thing right now is they keep their foot on the gas pedal and not worry about what any other team is doing. That's the main thing. Play Os baseball
  7. Max, you nailed it !
  8. Max, is he potentially the guy we can finally go to on 3rd or 4th and 1? And make it ? Maybe he's the hammer we be missing since Jamal ?
  9. Crav, after putting up a 12 spot against a struggling Masterson, I expect Lackey to be very tough today and runs to come at a premium. Besides, our offense almost always lays an egg after an explosive outburst. We need this one as the starter tomorrow, Lance Lynn is probably their best SP (besides Wainwright) that we will face.
  10. Gotta love tonight's offensive display- 12 runs ! How did we get 12 ? Justin Tucker must have missed a couple PATs . Nice opener tonight. Facing Lackey tomorrow, we may need a few of those runs tomorrow.
  11. Last night was a great display of winning football in an exhibition game. If we can build on this and carry it over to the regular season, we could experience success this year.
  12. I'm looking for the return of the real bazooka Joe and his secret weapon WR Steve Smith

  14. Need to nail rubber game tonight and get the heck back to the US
  15. Amen Crav !
  16. But not tonight. 1 run, 1 hit ? That's it. Must have left the keg of Red Bull in the hotel lobby. Amazing how a team can looked locked in one night; clueless, lifeless the next against a Roger Clemens impersonator. Let's hope it's game on tomorrow night !
  17. We will start (emphasis added) to get some answers tomorrow night. Then we'll know right out of the gate in weeks 1-3.
  18. Yep. You can't have an offense without a running game just like you can't make chicken salad with chicken poop which pretty well describes our running game last year.
  19. But the two are obviously closely intertwined: no run; no pass. That's why it didnt work last year, but did two years ago. If we ain't running, and still passing on 3rd or 4th and 1 to go (eyes rolling), we all know where the season is headed. With no running attack, there's no Air Flacco, Air Brady, Rogers, etc.
  20. Yep, and if the hitting keeps coming around (like the last 2 nights), then good things can happen
  21. It's feeling good and reminds me of the football season, post Thanksgiving playoff run !
  22. Not alarmed but not expecting strong line play or a strong running game.
  23. Bingo - Rama ! And unfortunately I don't know that we have a legit running game, even with Ray Rice. We blew our shot at drafting a good young running back by whiffing on several - Terrence West, Andre Williams just to name a few. I am not confident in our OL - although it has to be better than last years' unit. In short, Swayne hit it right on the head but I am not sure we addressed it. Compared to the rest of our division, I'd put our running game dead last which is a huge concern going into the season.
  24. Yep; a nice gauntlet of challengers awaits the team !
