I miss no intro's. A few overweight balding middle aged guys talking about strategy into commercial into wide shots of the stadium and a quick voice over intro from a half in the bag Pat summerall who would then throw it to a starving john madden. then the games would be great. No overproduction, over marketed build up, no botoxed bright white veneered jackasses telling us the key is running the ball for 3 hours. yes i am grumpy because I am prepping for a loss and the arrogant ravens to run their mouth's after.

sounds like it. He may end up being the inactive guy they keep to make sure if there is an injury down the road they do not have to go outside the building to fill the spot.

Beane said on the pregame show that they signed prater because he used to be Beane's babysitter when he was little so he thought he would help him out. J/K he said he was a good fit essentially and can still kick. He did more talk about the salary cap and the gameday roster but nothing interesting.

its really a bad look. They talked him up at length all offseason. He has great size and ability and he is sitting and watching solomon. Maybe its a special teams thing but man, two guys suspended, three guys hurt and now a third round pick not being active is just a bad start. It's not like jackson was expected to start but its is really disappointing. this defense taking the field tonight might be worse than the one that finished the year.

if they have to pay him anyway why would they cut him? Trading him seems like the only play if he is healthy and not getting a gameday spot

Think I put the Maloik on the Texans defense.

Houston’s defense might be the best unit of any team I have watched so far this weekend.

I actually agree with you and wish i didn’t post it. I think I will delete it.

I hope whatever sports magic the city of Baltimore has they used up last night. The orioles win over the dodgers was pretty amazing. Hopefully the sports gods realize they don’t need two days in a row of that.

Is my vision bad this morning or does both the cbs and fox pregame show looked soft? Soft as in the sharpness is not there?

As Alex Van Halen said, "The past is safe, you can't change it"

Ravens 38 Bills 20 Its hard to protect two safeties and a starting corner. It's even harder when playing a veteran group on offense with no weakness.

Hoping the Giants pound washington today. Would be fun to see the rams beat houston also. Aaron Rodgers playing poorly would be very enjoyable also.

technically true

Autism? wow now I know who kept the Star magazine in business in the 80’s and 90’s.

No offense but not a single thing you said here is true.

Ok eisen got a nice dig in on that turd butlker there. So I give him credit for that.

I just now turned on the audio to the game and eisen and Warner have no business calling an actual nfl game. They are horrendous.

Count me among them. I dislike everything about this.

the double box commercial stuff just sucks. MLB has this all over their broadcasts. NFL has it already too so I gues its not that much of a change but these greedy people have to pave every blade of grass to put up another shopping plaza if you will no matter what. The Greed knows no end. They will never have enough.

Yes. This way we can all ignore the ravens fans. Cluttering up the game thread ( I am guilty of this too) is no bueno

I think they are going to be a physical pain in the butt team. I would bet by the end of the season they are a tough run first team that plays well on special teams and doesn't beat itself. I have no idea how many wins they will have but I love Aaronn Glenn as a coach. All those guys who grew up around Parcells I am partial to. Losing tucker is a big blow to how they want to play the game.

Sean just said Khalil is also limited.

Terrible fan base and absolutely dreadful media in that market. Also imo, a terrible organization. The Owner and Head Coach watched that video of Ray Rice knocking out his girlfriend in that elevator and then pretended they did not see it and did not suspend rice. Then someone leaked/sold the video to TMZ and they pretended to be outraged and the league made them suspend him. The Harbaughs are scumbags who get treated like royalty. I truly can not stand Baltimore. I really hate the Orioles also, their media is the same way...they finally put a functional team on the field for a few years and they got loud and cocky only to get their tails kicked in the playoffs and then fall apart this year.
