52isUnstoppable

You are right about the first drives. The first drive is always scripted ahead of time and that is when we seem to be uptempo, on time and execute the best. Every drive after that is just painful. The Ravens should script more often. Once again another huge drop by our DB on a pass that hit him in the hands. That Weddle drop allowed the Bengals to keep the score close for the majority of the game. Had he made that play and we score this game could have gotten out of hand quickly.

During that first drive yesterday I said to myself its happening. Morningweg finally installed his full offense. They trashed the Trestman playbook and are calling plays straight from Marty's playbook. The offense had an entirely different look and feel than we had seen. The plays were fresh. Then of course they abandoned everything, but for that first drive there was hope.

Dean Peas - the best defensive mind when it comes to putting together a solid 30 minute game plan. This guy can not get the D to sustain a full 60 minutes since forever.

I'm not convinced Bernie would have beaten Trump either. And I definitely put zero stock into any polling data. He beat a politician who had 30 more years of experience and entrenchment. She had the entire Main Stream Media supporting her every move, suppressing every negative wikileaks and Project Veritas revelation, and bashing Trump and his supporters daily. She had the entire corporate landscape backing her. She had Hollywood behind her. She had the President spending every day of his life campaigning for her. She had the DNC running interference at trump rallies and inciting violence, she had CNN giving her debate questions. She had the DNC delivering debate questions for Trump to CNN on her behalf. I'm pretty sure beating a 100 year old socialist would have been very possible.

Probably a combo of both. She was so drenched in corruption and scandal that many Dem's simply couldn't bring themselves to voting for her. In regards to the overwhelming confidence, every poll had her dominating. His path to the whitehouse was very narrow. Winning Florida basically was the first chink in the armor last night. From there he took a few clutch swing states and it was all she wrote.

This. We are 20 trillion in debt, healthcare for my young perfectly healthy family is $600 per month with a $10,000 deductible, I paid $15,000 to put two kids in daycare this year. We've lost millions of jobs to over-regulations and bad trade deals. We were facing an influx of a million + refugees from areas that are known to host islamic terrorist who believe Christians should be slaughtered. We were facing WW3 with Russia over Syrian pipelines and Saudi influence. Our social security fund is vanishing, we have millions of illegals using our public services and not contributing tax dollars. I don't give a crap about being PC or catering to anyone's safe space. The social issues of the liberals mean nothing to me right now. I am trying to keep food on my table and clothes on our backs. Tax cuts and the spectacular childcare policy laid out by Trump were the primary factors in him receiving my vote (not that is mattered in Maryland anyway)

where is Jim Zorn these days?

The entire defense should be on the Juggs machine. These guys have hands of stone. Great performance yesterday from the defense right up until the PeasVent defense came in and tried to blow another late lead. I'll take that win any day for the simple bragging rights to say we have won 6 of the past 7 games against them

We need to make sure we sign Brandon Williams

We should have hard at Brandon Marshall when he was available. Or someone like Demarius Thomas would be a nice fit I think. A possession receiver with hands.

Pitta will be gone for the savings, He wont have much dead money. But it's sad you didn't even mention Maxx Wiliams after we drafted him so high. We bragged heartily about how we stole him right out from under Pittsburgh who was looking to replace Heath Miller. Williams taken in round 2 has 1 career TD. Jesse James taken in the 5th round of same draft already has 4 touchdowns. Another swing and a miss.

I agree that Flacco has not performed as we all hoped when we signed the mega deal. However, the extension made a lot of sense at the time. It was structured in a way that kept the cap hit the same over the length of the contract. No huge jumps like his first deal. Given the fact that the league cap is increasing that means that Flacco actually cap hit percentage will be less and less each year. He basically gets cheaper. And let's face it, franchise quarterbacks are ALL getting paid. Its not like Flacco is the only 20M+ guy in the NFL right now. Guys with less accomplishments are getting the same. Its the market value right now. I don't know whats wrong with Flacco this year. I think some of it is related to his knee. Physically his knee is probably good but like most guys there's a mental aspect to recovery. If you notice he never steps up in the pocket he always gets out of the pocket. His feet are never set, he never steps into his throws. I also think his O-line is garbage. I dont want to sound like a Flacco apologist but it's not his fault that we signed Monroe and then immediately cut him and signed Stanley. Now Stanley is hurt. We kept Yanda over KO, and Yanda is hurt. Wagner and Zuttah have both regressed from average to below average. Hurst and Urschell shouldn't be starting on the line. I also think our playcalling is garbage. We do nothing exotic. Our offense is so bland. We have receivers who can't get open one on one and yet we do nothing to help them. We dont use motion, dont do rubs, dont do screens or pick plays. We dont work the middle of the field anymore, we dont run the ball effectively. We dont have a true slot receiver with Smith Sr out. We look like a pop warner ball team on offense.

This offense totally dropped off when Smith Sr got hurt. He was the only receiver that can actually get open in the slot. Wallace and Perriman are true outside guys and never open. Scheme or not, they get zero separation. Aiken is OK in the slot and honestly I'm a little surprised he has regressed so much this season. Without Smith Sr we have completely neglected the middle of the field.
