"This is real encouraging...

Chiefs have a good shot if they beat the Stealers. If Pit wins they lock a spot.

Not this weekend. But they would be circling the drain needing help next week if the Chargers and Chiefs win.

That will not happen this Sunday Forsett had 6 carries for 32 yards and a 5.3 ypc.

Ravens by the numbers.... http://www.pressboxonline.com/2014/12/17/nfl-week-16-ravens-vs-texans-by-the-numbers

WOW! They need to jettison the GM who made him the highest paid player in the NFL this year. Is this unreal!?

This is a "Dude, Where's My car?" player.

No doubt this will be a dogfight. The Ravens have their fair share of big dogs too.

Every team projects for a replacement of their QB whether he's great or average. The problem is this is a QB starved league, so most of the time "you luck into" a very good QB as the next step. You hope to draft or acquire good replacements for very good players but it doesn't always work out. Sometimes a team ahead of you in the draft takes your guy. Sometimes...let's say... you have 3 needs on offense but the BPA may be a defensive stud. There are tons of variables and team needs and no organization can fill them all. As for Birks replacement: How do you know that they weren't looking for it, but couldn't find the right guy? Birk's absence was not all that was wrong with the line. Yanda was 60% coming off an injury, Oher just played shitty.. KO got injured and Monroe was new. and Rice forgot how to run and then he got hurt. Joe lost Boldin and Pita and had nowhere to throw the ball. There was a lot more wrong than just Birks absence.

Keenum lost at least 7 games last year and the Texans didn't want him back. He's still a big fan favorite because of how great he played at Houston. Can't let him get hot...that would really charge up the crowd.

Good points from Clayton... When we're freeking out about the Ravens roster remember...there are so many variables designed to make....all teams mediocre. You can't stay good for long. If you do, then it's because you have an outstanding organization.

That's 16 Ravens on IR this year.

No...you said you'd take him right now...and his salary.

From Eisenberg....

You must like watching sunsets then because he'll be 36 next year.

The Jaguars game is a good example of how the Ravens win with Joe. With everybody around him taking the day off, he stayed cool, didn't turn the ball over and made what plays could be made. No gaudy stats...just a win. Brees for all his stats has a 6-8 team. Give me Joe. The Ravens win with him at QB.Their winning record is phenomenal since Joe and Harbaugh came here.

The Baltimore Ravens have set a new record. By my count, by Sunday, they will have used 12,........... if you count safeties.

Either Levine or Melvin will start opposite Webb. Look for another player,just found at the Greyhound bus station, Cason to be activated. "Wait! This just in! Ravens scouts seen at Catonsville High...."

Ravens have the #3 run defense. Houston will start a practice squad QB.

Let's give one to Dean Pees. He is dialing up an incredible pass rush to mask the weakest secondary in the NFL. 45 sacks this year! All this and they are also the #3 run defense in the NFL.

Bring on Brady!

Fitzpatrick broke his leg. That means Tom Savage will play QB for the Texans.

With the Chargers loss the Ravens are the 6th seed. If they win out then they are in.
