It's just my opinion, but...

...I still think the Ravens 3-3 record is an aberration and they will rebound in a big way, starting next week.
...I thought the Broncos were for real a couple of weeks ago, when I picked them to beat the Cowboys and Patriots in Denver.
...if they can do that on the road, then I'll be fully on their bandwagon.
...the Ravens defensive backs will suddenly get a lot better once we figure how to make the opposing QB's throw in less then seven seconds for a change.
...didn't Ed Reed look this bad last season before tearing up the league from week nine on?
...weren't the Ravens not only 3-3 at this point last year but actually 2-3 after their first five games?
...how many of us were screaming to change QB's from the rookie to Troy Smith?
(More "It's just my opinion, but..." after the 'Jump')
It's just my opinion, but...
...I still don't see the Bengals contending in the AFC North, although a win over the Bears this week will help.
...I think the Vikings are headed into a trap going into Pittsburgh Sunday, but will still root for Minnesota.
...Cleveland is a much better team with Derek Anderson than Brady Quinn, although I'd still give Quinn the rest of the season to prove it wrong.
...Indy once again looks to be the class of the AFC, which is usually is for at least the first nine weeks every year.
...I'd also be REAL pissed if I saw my head coach put on a Steelers' jersey and say he "wanted to know how it feels to be a winner!"
...if the Super Bowl was played right now, the Colts-Saints would be a great display of fireworks, eh?
...something tells me the Broncos and Vikings fans think this would be a better game, but not me.
...while the team needs the Bye week, it's still a "void" for me and probably for most football fans.
...this is the only weekend in season that I take my wife away.
...I will still find a way to watch TV come Sunday afternoon.
...Comcast's NFL RedZone will be on all day so I can see live action of every TD scored in Hi-Def!
...I plan to use my Sprint Palm Pre to catch NFL Mobile Live when not near a TV so I can keep up with all the news on my favorite teams and players, especially for fantasy stats.
...you can respond whatever you want, but these are MY opinions!

Get a sense of humor...
…I’d also be REAL pissed if I saw my head coach put on a Steelers’ jersey and say he “wanted to know how it feels to be a winner!”
I’d be more pissed that my team was 0-6 and had just gotten absolutely destroyed. Not a big deal. Unnecessary but not a big deal… and perhaps he ran out of ideas on how to encourage his players :-)

Fine, then
let him put on a Saints jersey, but NEVER your hated division rival! NEVER! Humor only goes so far until it hurts and leaves an ugly scar. Sorry, but NEVER!

I disagree
I think it depends on the rival. If the Ravens were 0-6 and the Steelers 6-0 I think it would be funny for our coach to put on a Polamalu jersey. (The problem with Pittsburgh isn’t the team so much as their fans.)
It would never be funny, though, for him to put on a Colts jersey. (I imagine Cleveland feels the same way about our jerseys…)
Regardless, I agree with most of your other opinions.

ravens are average...
Nothing more to say…they’re average…too bad…defense is weak and there is no viable down-field receiver worthy of mention…

Easy to pound them after 3 losses
but what were you thinking after we started 3-0? And what will you say if we go on a 5-0 tear? Then what? Still average? Can’t jump on and off the ‘wagon like that. I’m still “on.”

The scary part about the Colts
Is that they are JUST getting Bob Sanders back for the first time this season.
Limp and dangling.

Colts...
We have to play them…they’re gonna kill us as they always do…our season is basically over…too many other teams that are better…if we finish 10-6, we’ll be really lucky..more likely 9-7…
I’d say we could do better, but our schedule is really tough and we just don’t have the personnel to win much more…plus, when we have injuries, our guys are usually down for the count…last year we led the league in starters on IR…not too good…

Anyone else thinke we need to goe 8-2 the rest of the way
to get into the playoffs?
by ravsagain on Oct 23, 2009 2:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yup
10-6 is not getting in the playoffs this year.
Limp and dangling.
by Joe Flaccid on Oct 23, 2009 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
8-2 is possible
we did it last year and w/o much of an offense and pretty much the same defense.

by Bruce Raffel on Oct 23, 2009 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
agreed...
We would have to essentially go 8-2 or hope for the Steelers and Cincy to falter…we won’t be good enough for a wildcard and we’ll need some luck to win the division…as it is, we’re only one game out of first, but our schedule is much tougher…

was it over when the Japs bombed pearl harbor???
Damn, I’m a Steelers fan (hopefully not a bad one) but I gotta believe you’ll be in the playoffs, even at 10-6. There’s probably gonna be a lot of 8-8/ 9-7 teams this year -jets/phish/bungles/jack/texans/chargers. parity year. And you’ve got playoff experience so once in the playoffs, who knows.
The jersey thing? come on. It was for charity and if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at.

I'm with this guy.
In reality, assuming that the current division leaders go on to win the division, the only team that really is better off than us would be the steelers (due to a one game advantage). We share a 3-3 record with the Jets, Jaguars, and Texans, which we are all better than (jets are faltering worse than we are, jaguars arent really anything without MJD, and texans are hit or miss)

Thank you man.
But you know hwo it is on here, theres always those “realistic” fans, you know the ones who just know everything, and always “know” for a fact that “their team” is horrible. I want you guys to smash Minnesota so bad, and it hurts to say that/. Reason being; I work with a Minnesota fan, he is an NFL Idiot, hes so ignorant to everything and his comments all week almost drove me to lose my job for putting hands on him, lol. So best of luck (ouch, that hurt).

What am I missing?
Isn’t that guy a Texans fan? The game with the Ravens is over.
Is this your quote: Brett favre dont have a chance against us.

Doesn't matter...
It doesn’t matter who we are ‘better than’…it comes down to division and conference record…we won’t do as well as the other teams unless we really get it together…our schedule is sooo much harder….as it looks right now, we’re in trouble…
We are much better off winning the division than trying to compete for a wildcard spot, believe it or not…

When we all turn in for the night (2:30am) we all know that we have a hell of a franchise!! Don’t be mistaken. We have a bad ass reputation around the league and that is hard to earn and hard to loose. I am Raven proud damn it. Ray is our founding father and we have seen the light! We’ve been throught the hard times. Man, have we. BOTTOM LINE!!
We’ve been thorugh the wars and have taken the best teams in the world to the very edge. Our future is blinding bright as one Ray hands to another and Flacco continues to prove his All-Pro future. We are right there. Right freaken there! When we pull the sword from that boulder look out NFL. Heads will fly. GO RAVENS!!
Man, blogging after the first 3 beers and not the last 4 is much more positive.

Better not, I’d scare people. Seriously, other teams are very afraid to play us.

I want to be Raven Billy Mays from here on out-
HEY RAVENS FANS. RAVEN HERE. Are you tired of losing close games. Well, suffer no more. I have the most effective tool for preventing last minute loses. His name is Kyle Orton. Just put a little Kyle Orton on the bottom of your cleats and STOMP. In seconds your season will look brand new! So, stop wasting your money on those tough teams like Pitt and NE and chalk up a win with the Kyle Orton.
I’ll EVEN through in an Eddie Royal for no charge! That’s 2 Denver Bronco under-cleats for $19.99. The COST OF 2 stadium BEERS. Call NOW. Ask for the Royal Orton and get a free Raven key ring with LED light and panic button. 1-800-Broncos. Thats 1 8 0 0 B R O N C O S. Operators are standing by.
