Terrence Cody kept his college streak alive of never allowing a hundred yard rusher Thursday night...and Turner's been damn good. He's one piece of the puzzle for improvement of the Ravens defense.

Agreed...the Ravens will be choking on 'they've never beat Carolina' all game so they'll play like that. The Panthers will try to give them the game but they'll hand it back saying "No, you take it". "I can't wait to play the Ravens. My .48 QB rating should really jump up to around 100...probably a career day." But...that's why I'm a Ravens fan. As you know, I lead an idylic life with no stress, pressure or worries so I have to balance that out...hence "GO RAVENS!"

Well...I think the course he took in descriptive writting is paying off.

I keep seeing '96 and '97 when the Ravens could score but the D was a sieve...especially the secondary. They can't get off the field so the O has trouble getting started. This team can't find things that they can do well and rely on...like run or stop the run...or flooding the field with this great group of receivers and hitting the open man consistantly. It all starts and stops in the trenches and the O line is suspect on giving Flacco time to throw and a pocket to throw in. The D line can't generate any QB pressure and the secondary is weak...so they can't get off the field. The weekly trench game is where they struggle. It affects everything.

Got to disagree yeager. You have an ageing, slower Ray Lewis..he can't cover or run sideline to sideline....a gimpy and slowed down Ed Reed...Ed's 50%. ....only great players left are Ngata and Suggs. Teams double Suggs because they don't have to worry about anyone else. The rest of the lot are 2nd tier or average. It's not Matteson. It's lack of talent on the D. The years of drafting for O have caught up. No DC can overcome that...not even Ray Lewis.

Too many games left for this not to cost them. See you in December...

Here's Cams thinking... "1st down...O line can't pass protect! Well dammit let's try it again. "Hmm. Not this time either. Well let's throw it again! "Ok..Ok... punt! but I know they are thinking we're going to run so I'll trick them! We'll keep throwing!" Hence the birth of the 2010 Cam's Brick Wall Offense. They didn't run in the pre season...didn't warm up Rice one lick...the O line hardly executed running plays in the pre season because Cam had no intention of the run being the base of a successfull 2010 Ravens offense. Just keep repeating the same mistake while expecting different results. I'm not falling for the excuse that the O was behind by 10 points Thursday night And had to start throwing. King says it best... When the line is getting their ass handed to them trying to pass protect, then give them a shot to take out their frustration road grading. Just keep pounding it. That's agressive. That softens the pass rush. Shit...the Falcon D was was undersized and they are the key to that D. Beat that door in and the rest caves. Then the time of possesion battle swings the Ravens way. The horses are there in Rice, McGahee and McLain. Try some 2008 3 headed monster game plan for days like this. THROW SELECTIVELY!!!!!! Go back to 2000...go for 2-3 big plays a game...only with this O, if they are pounding the ball it could be 5-6 big plays with all the playmakers they have. The run should be the foundation. "I'm not saying anything..."

Here's Peter Kings thoughts on Ed...and the D...

Great point reddog!

Who do you put in for Ray? Ellerbe and Gooden suck.

"Who do you have the Ravens picking in your mock draft?"

The Falcons defense isn't any better than the Ravens, but you can bet the experts are penciling in the Falcons for the Super Bowl. For the Ravens to get there, the offense would have to score 3-7 more points a game than they are averaging...or...become a serious ball control/chain moving/time of possesion group that finishes drives. Got to keep this average D off the field. They are a liability.

Last years line was better with Gaither, Grubbs, Birk, Yanda and Oher. Slidding Yanda over and adding Chester to RG is a downgrade. The O line play for both teams was a major difference in this game. Ryan had time to throw...Joe was pressured.

He pushed Wilson!

Cut Goodens ass...worthless !%T#**&^%&^#%^@!@

No pass rush is giving him time to make the throws.

TD....then worry about pooping my pants later.

but...but...we're not playing the Stealers.

Review??!!!>????

HOLY SHIT!!!!

Couldn't ask for more than this chance to win with the way this game has gone

Nice drop. Arthur Blank looks like Vincent Price in Tales from the Crypt.

20-14 Thighsman...

The D's wearing down...holding them to 3 would be huge..12 minutes left to pull out a win.
