  1. A buddy just gave me that link an hour ago, I hope to hell I didnt get a virus, I have pop ups everywhere.

     

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. This I think is great. You can designate 1 player to come off of the IR. With that Suggs could be on the IR and not hold a spot during camp. If he didn't get healthy in a reasonable amount of time you leave him on IR and take someone else off.

     

    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.

  4. Exactly, so I wouldn't say we made the wrong choice at that time.

     

    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.

  5. Is Hausch good now? I wouldn't recommend riding that out. He was a disaster. There are rookie misses that you have to ride out, but Hausch's meltdown is not something you ride out. I agree with your assessment that rooks need patience however that patience has it's limits and Hausch certainly pushed way past that line. On top of that, everything he projected, body language etc, was that he was broken. There's no way we could have continued with him.

     

    Steven Hauschka

     

    I would say serviceable.

  6. I looked at his stats and see no attempts.

     

    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%.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
