Woohoo!

But on a serious note…what a blow. Really did not see that one coming.

I will admit, Flacco and Mason hit it off last season, and i was not looking forward to the encore

Well played Mason…you may not have played for my favourite teams, but you were also a class act and a great player

And have that be the first thing I see.

Great, so glad we did not get Boldin or Marshall. Makes me so god damn HAPPY!!!!!!

but I admit to being disappointed with his handling of this. He couldn’t let the RAVENS know about this before now? Even if it was just a consideration, Ozzie et.al. could have made some other arrangements or been somewhat prepared. Now it’s like he’s leaving them in the lurch.

i think mason was tired of being the only one. he wasn’t going to last long with everyone and their mother knowing he was going to get the ball every 3rd down. he had no help on the other side. on the other hand, i’d have to agree he stuck it to the team if he didn’t have a recent injury or just didn’t feel good. anyway, loved the guy and now we are a 9-7 team.

officially the worst receiving corp in the AFC North and maybe football. 1 step forward 10 years back. i wish we had patrick johnson, stockley and ismail. they look like HOF’ers at this point. i am so pissed that we didn’t address this obvious need. ozzie is scared to death on paying offensive players. maybe ozzie is a ray guy to…ozzie will always look good on D with ray there but doing anything on O is too risky for his rep. he better go shopping ASAP because Flacco is officially dead in the water.

couldn’t post for some reason on another page but i wrote soo….

mitchell, case, banks and boller all hand selected by billick at the peak of our once in a century D…. because “(we) think we know but we don’t know.” probably the most wasted team in history to have won 1 AFC Championship. gut wrenching and that jackass shoved his play calling and horrific cavanaugh down our throats. i swear billick tried to sabotage every game. he was more in the way than a fat lady with ‘carry on’ finding a seat on a packed flight to vegas.

dilfer is very revealing on NFL films Ravens SB run. dilfer basically went into the games with the proper attitude that he wanted to keep it simple (don’t complicate things like brian did) and let the d win. remember when sharp was hanging on trent after the bad Tenn. pick and said, “your not coming out of this game, i’ll carry you out there.” they loved trent because he “got it”. 12 wins in a row. that is no mistake. he managed the team and they believed in him and not billick. that is why sharp and dilfer were run off. they were a threat to billicks BS. maybe trent was in the right place at the right time but we will never know. he was a warrior on a warrior team but we traded him in for a fragile man with retirement on his mind. who would you follow?

Come on Bruce…time for Marcus. Bruce has been drinking the Kool-Aid at the Castle again. When they let him interview the practice squad it was all over and love at first site.

Keystone Ice MaLor? Movin on up. How’s it go with Cup-a-noodle and Ramens?

“O improved over last year”…No way. 1/2 of McClaine was that he was a surprise. Flacco didn’t exactly improve but did get better with the play book. Physically this is the year he should improve. Willis started last year healthy but ended it beat up. Mason is gone and I don’t think he’s playing games after losing his good friend McNaire..kind of takes the steam out of BS. Oher is a rookie. Superman but a ROOKIE. Rookies get schooled early and often. Rice is my best hope to catch teams off guard with out poor receiver corps. “Receivers are overrated” lol. Yeah right. Either you have Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders or great receivers. We have neither.

Our O-line still needs to gel. They are not a verteran bunch who has worked together for years. I am hopeful and love my team but Troy P. and the Steelers must be rolling in slop over our receiving corp. Can you just see the eyes of our receivers when they head into Heinz Field. Moon pies.

I won’t/ and I’m not dogging Flacco because we are very lucky to have him. He is special all around and it is exciting to see if he will be the premiere QB in the AFC North for the next 10 years. My biggest fear is that he tries to do way too much to make up for the receivers and gets buried. He could get into to some bad habits if he continues to roll right only to look up and see his corp smothered. We will be an obvious run team on tough downs. That will not get us by stiff D’s. I will be fine with our O if we make a conserted effort to get Rice the ball in the passing game. I think he could be a Westbrook, Sproles or Morris from the old Giants. I beleive if he gets the ball on the corner in the Pitt. games we win. that never happened.

crazy..not sure how that happened..it asked me to wait and post again. sometimes my Vic 20 has a mind of it’s own. My black and white TV monitor doesn’t help with its tempermental horizontal hold. Ever since I hooked up my Telemark system with Pong and the Marksmen gun it’s gotten worse.

nothing beat the cassette tape memory. totally secure and know hacking. we should get back to that. i think the pentagon still uses ADAM in the “nuclear football”.
