  1. Go JK!!! Keep playing those rookies.
  2. What play is under review?
  3. Can't afford the $75 right now and I used up my free trial in the early season. Would you believe I'm in Cleveland. The assholes are showing local programming (a cooking show) at 1:00pm no NFL! I'm here because my son is having heart surgery tomorrow at Cleveland Clinic.
  4. Roman and O-line must get their act together then. JK is having a good day so far.
  5. I'm away from home this weekend and can't see the game but I'm looking at the gamecast and Lamar is 2 for 8 if I'm counting correctly. A td would have been nice there and that's the difference between last year and this year.
  6. Mekari deserved to start this season based on how well he played there last year. Plus it would have been less position turnover to have him there to start again especially with Yanda retiring and now with Edwards out. Dez will have to show me if he still has anything in the tank. But it's possible so give him a shot...after they give Duvernay and Proche a shot!
  7. We've got to have Campbell to at least have a shot.
  8. Unfortunately, I don't see a quick way out of it. They could cut down on penalties...some of those are killing them. And no it's not all Lamar's fault but he does get a bit of blame. The biggest thing that's a killer is the O-line and they did perform better when they benched Fluker (good move by Harbaugh, by the way) but they are way short on personnel on that line with Stanley out and Yanda gone. The rest of the guys are at playing fair and all of them are still learning. Brown made the shift to LT and is playing pretty well. Not worried about him. But what about the new OL guys? How are they playing? And did Skura forget how to play Center or is his finger cut much more serious?? Ingram seems to have lost something too...looks like endurance maybe. But, Dobbins and Gus are playing real well. Meanwhile we still have no functioning Wide Receivers. What's up with that? Then there's the defense which has looked horrible the past two games as the competition has ramped up. If this team beats the Titans and then the Steelers, well then they will have made back to back 'statement' games. It's a big IF but they can still go for a SB if they show they can beat those two. I'm sure as hell rooting for them!
  9. One big difference between last year and this year is I notice the team isn't having fun anymore even when the team still has a good chance to win. They get down too easy when they get behind even by a small margin. You have to be able to come from behind and win; sometimes, at least.
  10. The O-line hasn't played at all well...until the second half. When Lamar has time to throw, he's deadly. But that's the key.
  11. I think the Ravens will win but I have a feeling we're not done with the doldrums yet. I look for a close game. 20-17. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
  12. It was a good win and at least showed they can come from behind. Agree wholeheartedly that going up-tempo won the game for them. No time to think just play football!

    This was a very good day for America and Democracy! Don't know if we'll accomplish much in the next 2-4 years but at least the Republic survived!
  14. I strongly agree with this...the problem is we've been saying since the damn season started. Deep passes open up the/his running game. I will concede his pass protection has been lousy so far this year. Maybe that's the problem. I think he's been sacked 17 times and who knows how many hurries he's had to deal with. But we can't seem to straighten it out.
  15. Tougher game than against Pittsburgh, with Humphrey & Stanley out and 8 guys not practicing. Maybe Judon and Ngakwae get hot. But I doubt it. Colts 38 Ravens 24.
  16. 2020 is rapidly becoming a disaster for the Ravens. I hope I'm wrong and they pull out of it but I have a lot of doubts.
  17. Well, it may be gloomy but it has a lot of logic in it. I do think Lamar has the potential to be a very good pocket passer but the lack of practice time this past spring and summer left him detached from his better coaching. He has to remember his own mantra: 'he's a quarterback not a running back.'
  18. Maybe that's why Hollywood is getting disgruntled? Cause he's open down the sidelines often? BTW, kudos to Willie Snead. I said put Duvernay in the slot and I still stand by that but Snead had a good game Sunday.
  19. I don't want to jump too hard on Lamar but, and a big but, he's either not the same Lamar as last year's edition or defenses have figured him out. I think it's the latter. Basically, if you can prevent him from running and force him to throw you contain him and he just doesn't have the skill set yet, or maybe ever (gulp!), to compensate. I have to agree with Tsyl too. He's not making the proper reads. He's also under a lot more pressure from good teams when throwing and he's not adapting. He isn't making the killer plays to stymie the pass rush. He looks to run himself too much and it's hurting him. I think these things are correctable but Greg Roman has a part to play here too as well as the QB coach. Bottom line: the best teams have adapted and the Ravens and Lamar haven't. And I'm not sure they can as they are built and coached now.
  20. Good move. Hopefully, Stanley who is an 'A' blocker can develop some leadership skills, if he hasn't already, to help the rest of the line. Like Yanda did.
  21. I can't say I remember for sure but I believe Orrsville was in the closed end of the stadium. Can't recall which corner. There are others on the website who probably remember better than me. I loved that guy.
