Dunno

I would have liked to keep one of those two NTs. The IR list seems pretty hefty at the moment.

Painter -> Thompson. TD! Very nice throw and catch.

Another turnover. So, Flacco as the only QB on the roster? The team is screwed either way if Taylor or Painter play.

Tucker from 49. 28 - 10 now.

How many tackles does Tucker have on kickoffs now? 3? Anyway, far too many. Coverage is just terrible.

Painter -> Bajema. TD!

If your PC is powerful enough, try running a virtualized OS to watch the games on weird links. If your virtual machine gets infected... well... just delete it.

Wow....

Curtis Painter time. Maybe we can get a glimpse of the passing offense now.

oh, and 1 rush for 22 yards.

Taylor 8/12 58 yards. I am not impressed. As a wild cat QB, sure, otherwise no.

Woohoo, Gorrer with a red zone int. Finally a good play by the Ravens!

Sam Bradford is out after 3 TDs. Maybe they can finally stop the offensive juggernaut that is the Rams. I have to say the middle of the D looks very soft though.

21 - 0 so far. Don't think I am gonna rewatch this anytime soon.

Most of the team is looking like crap

I don't know how you can pick the Bengals to finish ahead of the Ravens. They were what, like 0-7 vs play off teams last year. A complete turnaround of that stat seems far fetched. Whether the Ravens or the Steelers finish first will depend on whichever QB stays healthy. Last year Ben got injured and the Ravens finished first. I could see that happening again this year, but Flacco so far has played in every game, a streak I could see come to an end at some point and the Ravens will struggle at that point. But picking the Bengals to finish ahead if all teams are healthy? Errr, no.

Suggs is on PuP, not IR so that won't affect him. After 6 games and then, at most, 6 additional weeks he is either active or on PuP for the rest of the season. I do like the changes though, it's a step in the right direction.

Send them Anthony Allen instead.

I have to disagree. In 2009, Hauschka was at 69% FG accuracy when he was released. Cundiff in 2009 for the Ravens? 70.6%! In 2010 Hauschka only played in 4 games (85%). Cundiff had his best season ever at 89% FG accuracy. Which brings us to 2011 where Hauschka once again played a full season. 83% for Hauschka and 75% FG accuracy for Cundiff. Should have stuck with Hauschka although I think Tucker is better than both of them.

Steven Hauschka I would say serviceable.

For every player in the NFL there is a moment in time when you can look at his stats and see no attempts of anything, pass, tackle, whatever else you can think of. You cannot use that as an excuse to never give someone a chance. Cundiff has a career average FG % of 76.7. Hauschka, during the season he was released was at 69% and this preseason is at 88.9%. Do I expect Tucker to be perfect going forward? No, but there is nothing coming out of training camp or that I can see in the preseason games that gives me reason not to believe he could do better than kicking FGs with an average accuracy of ~75%.

Cundiff's record beyond 50 yards is atrocious. That is where I see the biggest difference between Cundiff and Tucker. His miss against NE didn't help him of course, but as a kicker you either need to be able to hit those really long FGs from time to time or be automatic from a certain distance like Stover. Cundiff is neither.

With regards to Jimmy Smith, I think his back is still bothering him and that's why he has such difficulty turning around. He missed like a week of practice and then returned only to reinjure himself. I would be shocked if he played @ 100% yesterday. While 506 yards of offense for Detroit sounds scary, they scored 0 points while the 1st string D was out there. Only once Ray, Ed, Webb, etc took the night off did Detroit get their first TD. If Tyrod Taylor could actually complete a few passes the Ravens would have fared much better on offense. He had something like a 30% pass completion ratio. Painter, at least got offense moving again.

This should be a fun season, particulary on offense.

Ok, the drive ended in a punt, but I could see that offense be a real power offense this season. That looked like it has potential to be better than anything I think we have seen in years.
