Those 2 aren't long for the playoffs either. Pitt will fall because they will have nobody left at some point in the playoffs. I see the Ravens with the other also rans. That is not what they should have been this yr according to them. They are about a game better than I would have thought before the season.

Regardless of how fans feel the team will do what they do. The team just needs to perform. They have yet earn the expectations they set for themselves.

That is the problem. Teams are taking the Ravens apart via the pass. He is useless there.

This team is also quite old in areas. One thing they need is pass rushing. No more Cody type guys.

If we go to a more finesse blocking scheme like KC and the Rams from back in the day I think it would make RR all world. I think the OL is straddling the line of finesse and road grader.

So you think that in 4 weeks Cassel will not return from his appendectomy? Why. It's not like a structural problem like a knee or shoulder.

I see KC kicking the hell out of the Ravens. I just think they are a more complete team. They are young but they have fewer holes.

So you guarantee. What would you give up? When people talk with such authority that this or that WILL happen. I just wonder how confident they are.

No doubt the OL isn't right. I do think there are schematic solutions to some of it.

Sure.

This is what I posted to Ken Weinman on this topic.

What they should so is look at tape of the great Rams and Chiefs teams. That kind of offense is what they almost all the personnel for.

I do thin that Yanda moving to his more comfortable position is a very good thing. It will give someone to throw a little help Birks way. Now one thing I was just thinking of that could make it work OK is bring Chester back out to go heavy on that side. Who knows maybe that is the plan. I just have given up on Cousins.

If he looks foolish in every game except 1 that he played well then I am going that he will look foolish again. That allows for the pass rushers on his side to look good.

I have seen him look foolish out there including Mon night.

He has had playing time. That's the problem. He isn't good.

http://blogs.baltimoreravens.com/2010/12/14/cousins-officially-moves-up-depth-chart/ Everyone coming at that rt side is gonna be great. Cousins just doesn't have it.

No doubt. RR is more like Priest. Priest became a star in KC with a finesse offense. They have aspects of trying to go that route but not all of it.

Indy picked up Sanders at the end of the season and they made their run. The Giants were good that whole season but got great at the end. That Jets D last yr was staggering and allowed for Sanchez the make mistakes. The Ravens are not great in any one part of the team. If they had a top 5 O and the D lagged then fine. If they had a top 5 D and the O lagged well we have seen that before. There are to many holes everywhere on the team.

I am commenting that the fatalism that he will never do it is rather premature.

I look at the game. The O packed it in at halftime. In 5 possessions they got no more than 6 plays for 31 yards. At that time Hou kept on the field and made the D exhausted.

NE is playing in a whole other gear now. I do recall the contention of that inhalation from last yrs playoff guaranteed victory this yr. I know I saw that on this board. They got rid of their headache and after a few weeks got it going. ATL was up 13-0 before the Ravens did anything. I doubt they allow for that mistake again. Do you believe that if Ben had been in that first game that the Ravens would have won? I don't. What is he 7-2 against the Ravens with I think a 5 game streak going. Until they can beat Ben I do not the the Ravens can.
