  1. Great answering drive.... the o line looks awful
  2. Oh I never said nor implied that. I don't expect that and its even hard for me remember a time or imagine a time without you complaining. Enjoy the games today! Hopefully every play call is exactly what you would call and every pass is exactly where you think it should be thrown.
  3. I'm amazed at how stupid people are. I just had two Facebook friends post how if it was fair Trump wins in a landslide. Happily they are just people I used to know.
  4. Yeah, it's easier to pass to larger receivers. Easier for them to bring the ball in against larger defenders. Maybe if Boykin could run the correct route and/or consistently catch he might get the ball more.
  5. Our identity is defense first/patchwork offense and the face is Lamar.
  6. Plus it would give us an extra week (or weeks) of happy distraction in what is probably going to be a rough winter.
  7. Why is Brown upset? Aren't receivers usually upset? Brown is super fast. He is also 5'6" and covered by someone who is often 6" or more taller. And according to some announcers, since we all like to quote announcers who say things that support our thought, Brown's defenders are often running the routes better than he is. Im not sure I'd throw him the ball. Another columnist earlier in the year wondered how many of the WRs on the Ravens would even make the rosters of other teams. Lamar obviously trusts Andrews and looks for him first. And he seemed to trust Hurst too and losing him probably hurt more than anyone would have thought. Does Lamar need to improve? Of course, it would certainly help. Do I think the offensive woes are his fault? No way, he's the best player on offense. By far. Anyone who has objectively watched Lamar his three years has seen improvement. From year one to year two it was huge. Accuracy too. Anyone who has objectively watched Lamar his three years has seen he can read defenses. Is he perfect at it, or even great, maybe not - but he can. You can't have the year he did last year and not be able to. And you can watch and see he can. But then again I'm not bitching when he throws somewhere when I think he should throw somewhere else.
  8. Remember last week when you stated accuracy never improves. And also said the main stat that shows accuracy is not a valid one. Good stuff.
  9. He's not Tom Brady. Brady did have a pretty good WR tandem when he took over as the starter in NE. And while eventually Brady was great with very little.... well he's Tom Brady and having targets while young and learning certainly helped his development. I agree about Andrews, he's great but I didn't ask about TEs because they don't run the type of patterns you complain about the Ravens not doing/being able to do as often. Diggs is clearly the best, Beasley is probably better than any of our WRs. Maybe Davis too, but he's a rookie. Hell, even having the one legit #1 playmaker makes a huge difference. The talent around the two players is not similar.
  10. I know. He won't. Your motif has always been to keep predicting bad things then want praise and credit when they finally happen. Little lonely kid stuff.
  11. I don't believe you about the running QB. Not sure why you'd care, but I don't. I've seen too many comments..... I see two people every week expecting a player to fail and needing proven wrong. That's not objective. I also see a person who often complains about a harmless incomplete passes after a win sometimes when the qb has completed 60% or more of his passes. That's not objective. Or when he completes a 10 yard pass and you would have preferred a 12 yard pass to a different spot on the field. That's my favorite. How exciting!
  12. Neat points. Allen looks like a great young qb, I think he'll be good for a long time. He may not run as well as Lamar, how exciting!, but he's good. Quick question, if you had to compare the Bills and Raven's wide receivers how do you think they match up?
  13. Well... both of your minds are made up. One "knows" what Lamar can do from college the other one "knows" from college and the combine. One obviously dislikes running QBs...... Don't argue, these are just facts..... I'd listen to objective fans/analysts more than those whose minds are made up. Hearing thoughts from someone watching objectively is often greatly different from people's whose minds are made up and waiting for someone to fail. But hey, when bad things happen you guys can pat each other on the backs, commend each other, look around, then celebratory fellate each other. Enjoy!
  14. Nope, you build around him. Enhance the talent. Arizona is doing it right with Murray - letting him learn the game and gain confidence while having two great targets. Hopefully the Ravens can get another weapon or two on offense. Soon.
  15. I'm using Chrome. Everything looks fine on a pc but odd on my tablet. I think things are more jumbled on my phone. I'll check tomorrow. If its a newer version of Android to take a screen shot put your right hand on the left side of the screen (like a handshake) and move your whole hand right.
  16. Nice game, hopefully they get some confidence and gain some momentum....
  17. I think the crowd is getting to their kicker
  18. Decent half - not great but decent, can they play a full game? Lucky non call on Elliott.....
  19. Think if she says no - he pushes her off the cliff?
  20. Great 3rd down call/run by Edwards
