I've always felt the Ravens have an advantage in the rain. It doesn't affect Joe. All the reports on Joe have been very positive. He hasn't had an off or bad day.

And before that?

Great night for Roberts. Almost 'storybook'. Jones gave him the pie and you can see how Jones's leadership and passion is affecting this team.

This team is going to stay competetive... Or not.... If you are amoung the many who think the world will end in December 2012, then take a peek into the future at this potential O line that you could see at some point during the season... McKinnie LT, Williams LG, Wragge C, Yanda..(wait...let's have him nursing a minor injury and put the rookie Gradowski in), and Oher at RT..(Let's go all the way...Michael has a hang nail...and put Jah Rheid or Harewood here). That will strike fear in the hearts of defenses...and Ravens quarterbacks...and running backs... Let's end on a happy note... "Isn't that Flacco's hand?"

Wow....they are getting "old as the hills" on that line. Never even heard of this guy.

"Should we recruit this guy to be an ER member?" You got to admit...the potential is there.

Evans had at least 3 nice catches that game...he helped move the chains. Cam planned and called a good game. As soon as Eddelman was given the task of covering Boldin what happened? Complete to Boldin complete to Boldin. Like I said...Cam drives me crazy..."Stallworth comes on the field...they'll never know it's an end around"...but he also has done a lot right. I'm not a Bruce Arians fan. Arians did squat when he was with the Brownies. His offense last year was 21st in points scored (Ravens were 12th)

..a fool and his money... Wait a minute! I'm broke too!

OH...I forgot...rezone efficiency. I like Cam but he drives me crazy...that's why I started this thread.

To expect the team that you follow to raise the Lombardi every year is unrealistic. I think the goal inside the Castle is to be great. I think the desire of all football fans for the team that they follow is for that team to be great. I think we realisticly know that isn't going to happen on a regular basis. For me... 1st...I want the Ravens to be competetive year in and year out. I know they can't be great all the time. No team is. Competetive for me is 9-7 or better. 2nd...With the talent that the Ravens have, I do expect them to make the playoffs this year. 3rd...I do not expect them to get to and win the Super Bowl. Would I love it if they did? Yes. Now...expectation #3 increases/decreases as the season plays out, according to how the team performs, by paying attention to the following factors: 1. Are they winning at home? 2. Are they winning on the road? [harder] 3. Are they defeating teams with winning records? 4. Are they defeating playoff caliber teams? 5. What's their ranking in points scored/points surrendered? 6. Are they a team that knows how to find ways to win? 7. You can't put your finger on this one, but is there something special about this team? It's character. It's chemistry. It's passion.

I jumped right out on my chair when Wieters hit that home run. Guys like Tolleson, who I've never heard of, come through in the clutch. Bottom line: I'm enjoying this team. Like dc says..."they're teetering'...and I'm with you Spen....if they have a .500 season I'd be happy.

There's nothing new in this analysis that Ravens fans haven't beat to death on message boards, but it does deserve to be brought up again. If the Ravens are to have a top 10 passing offense [19th last season], then the change has to be made here. "Finally somebodys open!"

I would check with Dee...it could be that she is worried about what you are going to say and just wants a delay to insure it won't hurt the human mind.

Yes they are....

Ohhh nice win! This team and season is hooking me.

Going extra innings...4-4. Nice to see 46,000 fans in the stadium...it was packed last night too.

Arrieta struck out the side in the 3rd..that was good. Then he gave a a 2 run homer in the 4th. That was bad. 15 hits...9 runs..not a good day. Billy....Why don't you just come out and ask for our Man Cards.

How many is it? Willie was a good signing...helped them to the AFC playoffs. TJ helped knock them out...he basicly added nothing. I'm not happy about Bobbie....nothing personal, but he's too old with too many miles. He was very good "in his day"

This basicly nails it... Where is the game won?

Good story. They both have so much in common...like... The Under Armour gear is great but it's so damn expensive. Kinda like Ravens tickets...

I'd say they weren't impressed with who they have. He's definately insurance and might end up starting. That side of the line is getting old.

Alright Andino! 7-3...O's back in it as long as Arrieta doesn't touch a ball. Holy Shit! He's back out on the mound! How can you bring him back after giving up 7 runs in the first 2 innings?

They haven't had any players getting locked up this off season...that's 'in vogue' around the league.

Arrierta getting crushed....7-0 I flipped when they announced Tome'....can't believe he's still playing and clobbering the O's.

LeBeau couldn't figure it out either. They got beat "Mano y Mano".....and mentally.
