  1. Eight years ago, not twelve. Although it was in 2012 lol. Every team left is looking to punch a ticket to the AFCC or NFCC and the SB beyond that. There will be no emotional letdown on any of the remaining eight franchises. Believing in that is ludicrous.
  2. Nothing serious. Some back spasms I believe. Not related to his earlier ankle injury. My best guess is the Ravens limited his practice to err on the side of caution and he will be close to 100% tonight.
  3. Is the Ravens defense good? Yes, it is. Is it ridiculously good? No, it’s not. Not many are. Especially in today’s NFL where rules favor the offense. But when healthy, they are good. Whether that’s enough for a win tonight remains to be seen. The one thing I think that can be counted on is that they won’t fall apart if Buffalo gets up by two scores. They are disciplined and Harbaugh has been here many times before. Experience ain’t everything, but it helps. I have no concerns about the DL or the LB’ers. The secondary is who needs to step up and play tough. Jam the WR’s. Stay close. Make jarring hits. Look for opportunities to strip the ball or pick it off. If they can do that, the Ravens win. If they can’t, they lose. It’s that simple.
  4. No. It means hell has come to Earth lol. But, imagine the drama during next week if that’s the case. Wow.
  5. Or the Browns lol. Trust me, if the Bills are due, so are the Browns! I don’t see it, but then again, who foresaw that debacle last week in Pittsburgh? That’s why you play the game!
  6. Hard hits? Yes. Injuries? No. Louisville. Also Johnny U’s alma mater!
  7. Hey, just wanted to say that as a fan/poster of the team the Bills are going up against this evening, you guys and gals have been great. I like nothing better than discussing football with knowledgeable and passionate fans of other teams that doesn’t resort to insults, name calling, etc. No matter what happens today, you represent. I’m hoping for a Ravens W tonight, but if that doesn’t happen, I hope Buffalo runs the table. You all deserve a Lombardi.
  8. If you want to try something for tomorrow’s game that honors Buffalo and Baltimore, get some wings fried plain, coat them with honey and dust heavily with Old Bay. Trust me, they’re fantastic. 32 years ago I worked for a major carrier at BWI. We had a flight BWI-BUF-BWI with the same flight crew. We used to give the captain $$$ and he would call the Anchor Bar from the phone in the jetway and order wings, and by the time the aircraft landed back in BWI they were still warm. You could do things like that long before 9/11.
  9. Well......I can tell you many Ravens fans were pleased to see Dean Pees vacate the Castle. But overall, I think you’re spot on. Defense is a culture in Baltimore. In 2000 the offense scored zero TD’s in five games. And still won a SB. But THAT was a defense that scared people. Speaking of wind, has Bass had any games this year where wind was a factor with FG’s and PAT’s?
  10. His protege Eric DeCosta ain’t half-bad, either. One thing I say is that (except for WR), the Ravens normally draft very well. Sergio Kindle excluded!
  11. They started off man-to-man last week then switched over to zone coverage. I anticipate the same the week as well. Especially if weather conditions deteriorate.
  12. You have to be able to sustain long drives. You cannot count on good field position. That’s an area where a potent rushing attack helps.
  13. I’ll add this as well. If the weather conditions are slippery and windy, I’d play the CB’s up tight to the LOS and bring Clark and Elliott up closer. Tight enough to jam them off the line. Disrupt their routes and slow them up.
  14. I think Marlon will shadow Diggs with Peters on Brown and Smith on Beasley. With Averett on Davis as necessary.
