God we are so spoiled, we've had 10 years of top 5 D now we have tailed to #10..

Thanks Va, glad you had a good time, I wish the outcome would have been different for you. Yeah, this D has some real soul searching to do. There is no dominate team in the AFC this year, if any time is good to make a serious run at the Lombardi, this is it.

With the Stealers getting slammed last night, how big did that game just become?

On paper, next weeks game in Carolina should be 42-3 Ravens..But something tells me, we'll be biting our nails with 6 minutes to go in the game.

I just dont get how we make other teams look twice as good as they are on paper. Falcons had the 28th ranked D in the NFL, they were 29th in D on stopping 3rd down conversions, yet the first half they held us to 1 for 4 in third down attempts. Josh Freeman went up and down the field all day long against that D, I'd like to think we have a better O than the Bucs. Its not just the Falcons game either. Buffalo, gimme a break, that was not Jim Kelly QBing for them. Pittsburgh, please, without Ben it shouldnt have been a contest. Bengals, heres a 2-6 team, yet the Ravens always give them one in the W column. We have Cleveland in Cleveland, in a few weeks, you dont think they will be fired up for us? This season is somewhat unraveling quickly, There is some truth in the SI article, since the return of Reed, our D has become suspect.

Go back to 2000...go for 2-3 big plays a game...only with this O, if they are pounding the ball it could be 5-6 big plays with all the playmakers they have. The run should be the foundation. I dont think we can, we dont have a Jamal type bruiser back..We give the ball 25-30 times to Ray Rice and he'll wind up on IR. Its selective rushing.

Cromratie only signed a 1 year deal with the Jets, We need to make a play for him or next year when Ray retires, it'll be like 1996-1997 all over again.

Thats it, wish the season away, 2 weeks before Thanksgiving... How many days to Camp?

No, Lucky would be being on the riverboat at the blackjack table with 4 big stacks of black casino chips in front of me, while some 20 + year old scadly dressed casino waitress hands me a cold Miller Lite, all the while the Mrs is on another deck at her slots machine.

The Falcons defense isn't any better than the Ravens Your Kidding right? If it wasnt for Suggs Matt Ryan could have played the game in gym shorts..Yet Bazooka Joe was harassed the ENTIRE game, I mean the entire game!! We get absolutely no pressure on the opposing QB's not just Ryan, its any of them. And we dont get pressure when we blitz, it seems our blitzers run right up the asses of our D Line, and theres just a clusterfuk of players in the middle of the field. Yet, other Defenses come with a 4 man front and get thru(majority of the time its our left side).

The pass protection is okay but the runninggame lacks a lot of power in the short yardage situations. I cant agree here Geo, Joe had no time when he got the ball..We need to sign Gaither and put him back at LT and Oher back at at RT..Oher looked lost night, I mean Abraham was good...5 years ago.

He tried to grab me, and I just pushed him down." You're kidding me, jimminychristmas

Yup..I admit it, I fell asleep after we tied it 20-20, hell I didnt see the extra point.. Was it really that bad of a call for the game winner, caus from what Im hearing on the radio it sounded like it..

HELL NO

WTF Happened to this "Best young o-line in the NFL?" I dont pin anything on Joe with this loss, that O-Line was terrible. Oher was bitched by the old man Abraham time and time again.

No Haaaaaaaaaaaaackkkkkkkkk Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooeyyyyy found on tape, no fine either. http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/blog/2010/11/leron_mcclain_wont_be_fined_by_nfl.html

Reading is Fundamental Heres part of my quote I even highlighted the key word for you. Ft Myers is an hour south of Tampa, so I wont have to scramble to see the game, it'll be shown locally.

Too much doom n gloom in here. We still have the 9th overall D in the league, granted they might bend but they aint breaking. If Im Hemsley he should have paid attention to the Falcons secondry and written an article on how they are going to stop Bazooka Joe & his Army of Rice,McGahee,Boldin,Heap,Mason...

We got Flacco & Rice on that day, thats as good as getting Odgen & Lewis in 96

Before the 2008 draft, when I was in Atlanta for the drafting of Ryan, the Rams and Ravens were persistent in trying to move up to pick Ryan. Baltimore couldn't, and then picked Flacco over Chad Henne. That, however, wasn't the real threat to Ryan being a Falcon and not a Raven. This was. On the morning of the draft, Baltimore's Ozzie Newsome offered St. Louis, picking above Atlanta, picks in the first, second and fourth rounds in 2008 and third round in 2009 for the Rams' top choice. Baltimore would have taken Ryan. Atlanta would have taken defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, who's been a disappointment. Baltimore would have gotten Ryan, but would then have missed getting Ray Rice in the second round. So believe me, Atlanta's happy Baltimore didn't make the deal, and Baltimore's happy the Rams didn't take the deal. Baltimore has Flacco and Rice. Atlanta has Ryan. Both teams are living happily ever after. Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/11/09/week9/index.html?eref=sihp#ixzz14sY31J00
