Kolb is terrible. I will be amazed if they don't intercept him at least once today.

I have low expectations. Even a grand total of just one first down in the first half will suffice for me. One small step at a time.

While greed certainly played it's part, I don't think it is the bottom line. All people are greedy, that's just a fact of life. Greed doesn't have to be a problem. In a working free market, and I mean a free as in an austrian economics school sense free market, the only way for you to improve your material standing is by providing something someone else wants to buy (voluntarily). That leaves both parties happier even though you are each acting greedily to improve your own standard of living. The problem in the last 30 years or so is that the rule of law doesn't apply to certain aspects of society (politicians, government officials, bankers and big business). Karl Denninger on market-ticker.org does a good job of covering the various frauds so I won't repeat it here. Go read it, time well spent.

They are only going on IR if the team sustains more injuries and needs additional covers. For every game 7 players need to be deactivated. If those are injured or not doesn't matter. The only way I can see them going on IR would be if they have some kind of surgery and the recovery time exceeds the remaining season or they suffer additional injuries and the 7 inactive spots aren't enough to cover all the injured players.

Good win overall. The offense had me worried in the 2nd quarter, but they eventually woke up and produced. My only real complaint is that the offense seems extremely inefficient in the red zone. One thing that struck me towards the end of the broadcast was the cup cake schedule the Texans have the rest of the way. They had like 2 games left vs teams with winning records atm while the Ravens were to face several teams with winning records.

I am not surprised he was boo'd. If you consider some of his antics over the years it was to be expected. I always had the feeling, ever since him whining about Clayton's increasing number of catches in I think 2007, that he cared more about his personal stats than he did about doing what's best for the team to win.

Why is it that this offense can go from hot to ice cold in the blink of an eye? Good first quarter and then.... have they even gotten a first down in the second?

They should have taken the field goal.... or thrown a pass.

Good thing we are getting all these automatic first downs cause red zone offense sucks. Yay, TD!

No points for the Texans. I can live with that even though the 3rd down defense looks pretty terrible.

oh god, Dan Dierdorf.

Really? In that case, Happy Birthday!

I wish they would rediscover the occasional quick passing from the preseason. Remember that WR slant to Evans? Vs the Jets, after the first quarter, it felt like there were only 5, 7 or more step drops and a quick pass was unthinkable.

Filmstudy, or Ken McKusick, usually posts his observations on various Raven forums (including this one at one time, but was told not to post it here as far as I remember) including ravens24x7.com and Sunspot. If you don't care for the discussions following his posts you can read his columns at this link.

After reading Filmstudy's work I don't think Gurode played that well. Better than LeVoir? Sure, but not at Grubb's level.

They really need to reevaluate how they go about determing when to take people off of the PuP-list in training camp. I think NE handles this a lot better than the Ravens. Foxworth never should have come off PuP in the first place.

Can they defend the pass?

What a half by the Ravens! If only the red zone offense wasn't so inept.

And Webb with an easy pick.

Why are these announcers only talking about the Rams?

Just call him TD Smith

Wow!

Eh, don't want to see Joe run around like that.

Nice

Really? Kindle still isn't active? Must have been that impressive pass rush vs the Titans that keeps him inactive. David Reed is also inactive btw.
