Who Watched The Ravens Game Last Night?

with the Ravens’ O line; Oher appears to have gone into “Ferdinand the Bull” mode. And Leigh Anne’s last name is Tuohey. They’ll score some points, but only if their opponent makes mistakes – they won’t often score because of superior offensive play (well, maybe against AZ).

Defensively they appear to get incrementally slower year by year.

Could the Redskins be better than expected as well?

Oher is definitely not playing well we are really concerned about him, so we really are hoping Mckinnie can at least be slightly better. If he is the rest of our line will be solid. Birk and Yanda were both out last night and if Mckinnie plays LT then Oher goes back to RT where he was a lot more successful. Offense still needs some work, but there is a ton of potential there. Flacco to Evans is looking great so far and Evans is averaging a little over 20 YPC. All of our WR’s and TE’s are basically first time starters with the O, so the passing game isn’t going to come out completely on point. Wasn’t our best D performance, but not worried there at all. We are trying out different guys and it’s pre season. Jimmy has actually looked pretty good so far and it’s been against the teams number ones. The TD pass was more of a mental thing because he was supposed to have the deep third, but didn’t get out there. He needs to clear that up, but physically he has looked great in man coverage. Like I said offensively is going to take time, but we will be better offensively once we get it going. You kind of are taking the pre-season thing too far. We are working in a ton of new guys, so naturally that will take a little time. Should be a great game week one.

I’m not looking much into it. Did enjoy Flacco’s pick six though.

and while Ed Reed might find himself in the right place at the right time to snag an INT, he has a very minute impact on the game.

All i can say is haha.

is a douche! He looked like a fool last night on national TV, blowing the entire Ravens team. Get a grip.

I doubt it as the Steelers are far superior at every position other than the o-line), they are not a SB contender. They simply don’t have a roster capable of taking them that far

Give me a break.
S- I actually like ours better. Troy and Ed are a wash and I personally like Pollard and Zbi over Clark and Mundy. Both fans will take their own guys so just leave it as a wash
CB. Ike is the best on both teams, but after that I take all of our CB’s over yours.
LB- You guys definitely got that. Best in the league.
DL-Ngata is the best, but if healthy you guys get the nod slightly for now. Smith and Keisel are big injury concerns and we have a ton of youth on our D line, so I wouldn’t say far superior, but you get the nod.
OL- we got it.
WR- Wallce is the best IMO and I give you a slight nod because you have more chemistry, but talent wise it’s very close. We have some young guys making plays (not Torrey), then Evans and Boldin have very good chemistry with Flacco. Not superior at all.
RB- You will take Mendy, we will take Rice, call it a wash.
TE- Heath has the nod blocking, but I think we can match you as far as pass catching. Dickson is very good and so is Pitta. I don’t think we will miss Heap as much as people think.
QB- Obviously you guys get the nod. I’m not going to say Flacco is on Ben’s level because he’s not. I do however think he can be in that next tier of QB’s. Flacco has progressed in every season and has won in the playoffs. There is no reason to think his progression just stops when he actually gets more weapons than he ever has had. It will take time to get all the pieces going, but we like what we see.

I have no problem with you thinking you are better than us because you guys have had our number, but to say you are far superior than us? All I have to say is C’mon Man.

But apparently Foxworth has been looking poor as well. Who do the Ravens have besides Webb at CB right now?

I dont take much out of it either way. One area of concern I would have, is that RR got most of his yds in the third quarter against the skins reserves..Evans looks VERY good, he can be a problem for us..BUT not anymore than ward/wallace/sanders/brown/cothery, this is where we have a big advantage..RR still over Mendy at this point due to his receiving abilities..

We were able to accumulate 304 total yards of offense and 21 points in less than 2.5 quarters, but our offense wasn’t impressive…

Didn’t you guys score 7 points against the Skins?

:)

that none of you have addressed Wyofan’s really important comment:

Maybe Joe needs to get married. And if he is already married, maybe he needs to trade her in for a Pittsburgh girl (If he can find one who will marry a Raven).

In fact, Joe did get married this summer. I don’t think she was a Pittsburgh girl, though, which may turn out to be a big mistake.

And speaking of September 11th, I’ll be at that game. Do any of you fine Ravens fans have suggestions for how I should behave in order to draw the minimum hassle from the Ravens faithful? Naturally I won’t wear a t-shirt suggesting any disgusting things that Ravens fans can do to themselves, unlike the idiot Raiders fan in CA. But I don’t want to go undercover either. And I do want you to know that although I’m sure it isn’t true of all Pittsburgh fans, I have been unfailingly polite to fans of other franchises that I have encountered at Heinz Field.

And in case you all are wondering why I would travel to Baltimore to go to a game, living in Pittsburgh as I do, my Welsh son-in-law is visiting and has always wanted to see a live Steelers game. This is the only regular season game happening while they are visiting, and it is the best one I could possibly take him to, anyhow. Games with the Ravens are, as we all know, as good as it gets!

with those who have said that you can’t pronounce an arch rival as being in a state of decline based strictly on a preseason performance. The Ravens are a solid team and you better believe they’ll be ready for us on the 11th. So we need to be ready too and step up.
