  1. The Ravens are not going to a superbowl # 3 without a couple of "gems" found in the 1st or 2cnd round. I'm talking about football players with the likes of a Ray or Jonathon. Mediocre players will keep you just that- mediocre.

  2. Well, I always look on the bright side. This will give our second and third string alot more snaps and this means more experience. A couple of questions here. First, who are these players that will be out and for how long? Sorry to test you here max, but anyone who knows is more than welcome to post this knowledge. Secondly, who are we playing the first three or four games?

  3. Grub is right papa. You are just a hater and you have dedicated your life to spreading the word. In reference to your thread about how the Jags have progressed while we are regressing, all teams go from the top to at least the middle and vice versa. We were, 1n1996 & 1997, the leagues laughing stock. Then three years later, we won the superbowl. This Ravens team is NOT regressing, they are just staying mediocre. That is unacceptable if you are a a Raven fan. This team will return to the top sooner than later, barring all this bad luck with injuries. As for me, I'm sticking with them. I'm a real fan, not a hater.

  4. Perriman, actually for the last three years. A TOTAL BUST. The sooner he goes, the better we'll be. Also, Maclin started the season on very high hopes, but was oft injured. Disappointing but not a bust. West- he will be let go, since we now have three very good running backs next year. I just hope we can get an additional draft pick for him, like a 3rd rounder. Several teams out there would want him.

  5. Ever wonder how it is that year after year, the Steelers are able to draft and develop outstanding wide receivers and tight ends while we can not? Why is this? That's is the biggest reason why they compete every season and we do not. Whoever is in charge of scouting for wide outs should seriously be looked at more closely. He's not doing his job. Maybe we should look at the Steelers scout and offer to double his salary.

  6. But it's legit if they truly have injuries, as had this team for quite a few years. Our O-line is disicipated. Our tight ends- gone. DB's lost DE;s gone for the season. In essence, we were playing not our best football players. Instead, the guys behind them on the bench. And I'm not complaining, they almost got us there. But these injured guys were some good football players. You're not going to get a winning team when so many are standing on crutches. So, regardless, it is an excuse. I have no freaki'n idea why we are racking up so many IR's. Just freak accidents perhaps. I don't have the answer to that question either. But I do know this. Get them healthy and keep them that way and we're back in those playoffs again. It's a very simple formula- stay healthy. Guys like Marshall Yanda, Alex Lewis, Jaylen- Hill, Jimmy Smith,, Reggie Porter,,Brent Urban, Bam Bradley, Kenny Dixon, Albert McClellan ,Tavon Young, and Crockett Gilmore to name a few. That's more than a few good players.

  7. I pretty much have to agree here. Has Harbaugh reached that 7 year high? Have the players stopped listening to him? I don't know, I really don't. I'm not in that clubhouse. But the team seemed to stop playing after week 14. A dismal showing at home vs. the Colts. Then the Cincy game, again at home was horrendous. I like John Harbaugh, but SteveB. has to be wondering too. The Ravens are expected to come out healthy at the start next year, as expected. I disagree only on one point. I believe that they DO have good players. So, that said, I believe that would be an important factor in the owners decision to bring him back. But, I would bet my house that John has one more year only to turn it around and go deep into the playoffs. Injuries will beat any team.

  8. Ravens are heading into this season withe league's worst cap space. No one here is mentioning Flacco. SteveB. created this mess when he gave Joe $121 million. Joe has not come close to delivering on that. In essence, we are again being held hostage by that cap number this year. Release him and bam, we are in alot worse cap space. 2019 is a different story and it's "seeya Joe!". Yes we are going to need receivers and and tight ends in this years draft. But drafting a QB in the middle rounds is nonsensical. I say take a QB with our first pick because the QB position is all about talent. You either have the talent to be a top teared QB in the NFL or you don't. I have to agree with most people here that we should hit bottom next year and start a total rebuild in 2019.

  9. I'm back to talk Raven football and not to get involved in politics on this board. We beat Cincy in much the same manner they beat Indy. Close game throughout and a big defensive turnover late in the game for the win. Then it's off to Kansas City.

    Burflict is out but four of our key players are questionable. Green has to be double teamed throughout like game 1. One big problem that I see though? It's Marvin's last game in the league. Those Bengals are going to want a big win for him. Ravens 30-23.
