According to the paper Cunningham announced that this was a moment of silent prayer before the flag and anthem. Unless the reporter is a liar I have to think that is true.

There were tons of boos when they knelt. It took patriotism off the table and still get boos. The NFL has a lot of ingrained racism in its fanbase.

RBs are easy to find lower. Also they break down fast so after 4 yrs that 1st round pick is on the trash pile. That pick should go to a QB, WR, or OL.

Agree on the RB and the total rebuild. It is long time coming. This can be fixed but it will take time and new blood to pull it off. Again biting the bullet is the right term. It is like getting rid of cancer. Cut out the tumors and do the radiation to come out on the other side healthy. There is no trust in Ozzie or Harbs. You bring in new blood who understand it is a rebuild and it is time to teach. The team also need to do what NE does. Trade guys who you are to going to keep to get picks. Always bring in young guys who are hungry and have something to prove. Also stop paying guys who have not done it. This paying for what you expect bs has to stop.

They turned out to be worse than I expected.

Between the Dal game last week and yesterday it is proven.

Fault Harbs. He came up with the schedule for the team.

I have been saying everyone needs to go. Blood needs to run in the streets of OM. On offense the whole thing needs to be rebuilt. Yes draft Joe's replacement. There are lots of good Qbs next April. What a new coach should tell the new kid is don't do what Joe does since they can't get out of his deal until after 2018. Looking at the 2019 FA for the team I think they need to seriously consider trading Mosley. They need picks and lots of them. CJ is the only piece of value that comes up in 2019. 2020 does not have any pieces that have value but there are a ton of FA that yr. If they start cleaning the cap by 2020 they should have a real good handle on it.

So now you are willing to9 see reality. Don't forget the OL was also pretty well ignores. They traded their starting center and did nothing about it. The starting RT left via FA and again did noting about it. They drafted 2 guards which was the least of their issues on the OL. Suggs should have long ago been sent on his way. He is older than time and can't do it against good teams anymore.

Also the yr he blewout his ACL.

It goes back to the saying you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

No doubt. I was surprised to see they won last night.

http://www.armytimes.com/opinion/2016/08/30/an-open-letter-to-colin-kaepernick-from-a-green-beret-turned-long-snapper/ In that the taking a knee was thought of by a retired Green Beret I am missing how this is an issue. It looks like ppl who just want to be mad for the sake of being mad. Or worse case it has nothing to do with the anthem or the flag and more that ppl like things like they are and don't want black ppl to have equal rights.

I am sure. I didn't even know he was on the report until I saw this article.

I was thinking this was a temporary injury and not long term.

Then you choose to be ignorant. Kap and others have been quite explicit. Football has been the circuses part of "Give them bread and circuses" Now ppl are being forced to see reality. I did not like how Jones tried to take the protest over for himself. There have been so many vets and active service who agree with this protest. That said that issue should be off the table. Vets who don't like it should not speak for them either. All that said until football wants to totally keep out of politics by giving up their antitrust exemption, tax payer funded stadiums, and league political donations then the players should have the same ability to be political as the owners are.

I am not the one getting them hurt or playing poorly.

But it is ravens. I only look at new ravens news.

I watched just the first ep. Then I got busy and lost track. I will wait until they are done before watching. I am now almost done with season 4 of Breaking Bad.

Ray is a parody of himself now.
