oh by the way, 49ers over da’ Bears, as Frank Gore and even Michael Crabtrree have good games! Hopefully, Matt Forte will get in the end zone for my fantasy team though.

35-10 Ravens. Joe is going to light them up for 3 touchdowns and 275 yards. Rice will score on a 40 yard run and Willis will pound one in from the 3 yard line after another big run by Rice. Their lone td will come from a Cribbs kickoff return.

Okay..my last negative post of the week. I promise.

     Why I won’t cry when Ray and Ed retire- I enjoy the heck out of these Hall of Famers BUT how much do they contribute to key loses is a mystery. You’d think these 2 could lead their team to some big wins on prime time but the numbers aren’t there. 4-7 on the big stage. 1-5 on the road on the big stage. That is embarrassing.

     0-3 vs Pitt and 0-2 vs. Cincy. Maybe they aren’t the leaders that can pull a team through adversity. I don’t dispute Rays Herculian efforts that brought us the Ring but the past few years has been a whole lot of preaching and a whole lot of losing to good comeptition. Maybe the money spent onnthese 2 would be better spent on a complete unit. Our balance is out of whack as Ed and Ray wind down their careers. How far do we take them? Do we let them run to empty and give them a symbolic Ripken send off or do we take the NE approach and use their salaries to load up allowing them to play for SB contenders next year? Just asking…

if the Ravens cough this game up 20-17. I dont even have to say why, any Ravens fan can see that we can possibly lose this game, and if the Ravens come out “slow” again we will be the laughing stock of the league. “Slow” are Ray Rices words not mine people.

crap…i can’t help it-
Cleveland 27 Ravens 17

lol…were on the same page ShaneOmacDaddy

I don’t know if it would be an upset. Everyone including the national media are disappointed in the Ravens. When they flash that 1-5 MNF road record on the screen I’ll pull a blanket over my head. Mighty Raven road warriors. “Ain’t no one can stay with us for 4 quarters”…uh sorry Ray. Bottom line.

To top it off the Brady story will be in full force. Brady knows he has to do amazingly well to save his city. I expect to see a very agressive air it out approach by the Browns. If we lose, I want us to get blown out so we can make changes faster and not complain about the refs or 2 plays all week. Let’s get to the bottom of this mess as fast as possible. No sense drawing it out.

I have a feeling my Lions and Bears tickets are already worth 1/2 price at best. A loss to the Browns and I’ll donate them to the Hickey School. – don’t hold me to that. i’m a cheap SOB.

Thank God we play the Colts and Pitt.. At least we have 3 Raven type SB’s to look forward to. The Colts and Pitt. see us as minor speed bumps to better things.

Please tell me how CLEVELANDDDDDDDD is going to beat us rather than you spitting stupid crap about how Ray talks to much and Reed misses tackles.

If you honestly think we are going to lose to Cleveland, I want you to come on here right now and say we are going to 4-12. Please do it assholes.

You both will be coming back here “Oh god I love Oher, Ray made some insane tackles, Reed’s two picks were great and he looks pro bowl form.”

Choose a god damn side already. After Denver, you sounded like Superbowl talk. After Cinci, you think the Bucs, Lions, Rams and Browns are all better than we are.

LOL. No way dude..I ride the wave. I’m a FAN. I feel the crest and the valleys and I’m bringing the team with me.

I like Ray and Ed. They’re great/were great. No problems here. But, if I had a more complete group of no names, I’m going there. I learned my Ripken lesson.

You seem very confident we’ll beat the Browns. Does 1-10 on 3rd downs against the Bengles make you so sure? Does Cam and his disappearing Kelly Washington appeal to you?

Does Mason Mason Mason strike a nerve with you? Does Flacco’s 3 sacks in a row make you want to jump and cheere? Taking the ball out of Rice’s hands when we get momentum from…well…Rice.

DB’s hanging on for dear life? Literally. Ray slipping to the turf on pass defence turn you on? Cleveland is 1 Cribbs return from having us abandoning the run and throwing deep to Mason. We get down by 7 and you may as well turn to PBS and watch Ken Burns documentary on Monkey Balls.

the season is a wash. There isn’t a way in hell that we are winning the division without the Bengals getting completely derailed via an injury to Palmer and/or Benson gets arrested…along with the Steelers team plane crashing into the Andes Mountai. We would have to fall ass backward into the playoffs in some magical fashion as the tie breakers just don’t look like they would fall our way.

I say we actually change things up creatively…bust out all the players on the bench, activate everyone. Put in Troy Smith for the Browns game…hear me out. We know that Flacco is the franchise QB, but since the rest of our season doesn’t really matter realistically, lets see exactly what we have and what we can shop around with in the off season. Make it known right freaking now, middle of the season, that NO ONE’S job is safe. I would rather see a cheerleader in our secondary than the clowns we got now. Get Kruger in there to see if he can help get pressure on the QB. As it stands right now, we aren’t losing games on kick and punt coverage so the excuse that he is a liability on Special Teams is pretty lame right now considering what the D is doing.

I mean really, on this path, at best we will have a winning season that doesn’t make it to the post season. Let’s have fun with this shit. Find out exactly what we got on the bench, mix up the personnel, and actually do something different than what we have done in the last 5 games…cause that sure as hell ain’t working for shit.

I am not saying that the Ravens should just roll over and admit the season is done. But right now, we can use the games we got left to really examine our players, try to make serious adjustments, and find out exactly how many pieces we are missing.

….the Ravens are 8-0 against teams they are favored over who have a losing record. Basically, it means we beat the teams we’re supposed to beat, but just can’t do the same thing to the good teams.

Sounds pretty much like an 8-8 team, eh?

There’s this funny headline that says “Beware of the Browns”, clearly a glitch.

you’ll still beat Green Bay, Chicago, and Detroit. easy W’s
and with that, I have successfully managed to trash-talk division rivals on the Beatdown

we’ll feel great about the team again like oh boy were back on track except not. Fool me once shame on me Ravens, fook me twice, nice try. Ill be watching every game with the suspicion that we can totally lose it, even this one.

we’’ll win monday night. cleveland is the gift that keeps on giving. over the past 10 years, if you replace cleveland with any other team we might of never made the playoffs. they have almost always been 2 automatic wins. wehn cicny stunk we had 4 gimmes. i can’t think of any other division with worse bottom 2 teams for so many years than these two.

5-6 in three weeks.

Well there’s something. Here we are begging for a WC spot- needing help again.

that the Ravens’ #1 problem right now is inconsistency. We could blow the Browns away tonight, but we also could very well be embarrassed royally on primetime TV. Flip a coin — it can go either way.

Although I agree with UMBC Oriole fan, that mixing up the roster a little could motivate the starters to get their s**t together, I also think it is still premature to do anything this drastic. I feel this way because we are still well in wildcard contention. Yes, the division title is probably lost now, but we’re not out of the playoffs yet. If the Ravens keep losing to teams we’re supposed to beat, then yes. But don’t forget that 3 out of the 4 losses were against very good teams. We’ve got a tough schedule, and that should count for something.
