Soooo nobody is watching one of the greatest rivalries in NFL ? Ravens offense have improved alot, we now have legit wide receivers on the team. Still have a top notch defense as always. These 2 always have grind it out games and so far this has been one of them.

Told you we should have gotten that 2nd round pick for ET.

Pete needs to go at the end of the year! It's painfully obvious. 0-10 on 3rd down? Schotty ain't helping matters either. But, the buck ultimately stops with Pete. I just hope we hire someone who can help coach/elevate Russ & the offense as a whole. Winning in the fashion like today isn't entertaining. It's downright frustrating to watch.

I legit turned the Raiders game off once the Browns scored & went up 42. I go to my pc, I'm surfing the web...I'm like lemme check:

"Oh wow, we've tied it up?" Goes back to TV turns it back on the game, instant glued until the end.

I'll take the W!

You know I was. Flacco and our defense put our foots on Pittsburgh's throats last night. Joe is straight up playing better football than Ben and did so again last night. I've been screaming it for the last five years that criticism of Flacco is completely ridiculous considering the trash we've given him to throw to. This corps of WRs is a nice bunch that compliment each other well and I'm pretty sure we are getting all three of them for no more than the cost of AB or OBJ. I'm starting to get a feeling about this season.

Oh yeah, Yankees are peaking at just the right time also.

lol I think me and you are the only Ravens fans on here. Flacco finally has some weapons, Brown is LEGIT. Crabtree still drops passes but nobody can keep up with Brown's speed, he was blowing by both defenders, I hope we see alot of shotgun plays for him and Flacco has the arm for him. I'm so excited for the rest of the year, our defense is up to par again which isn't a surprise but now we have Jimmy Smith coming back so we should be even better. I don't see no holes on our defense as long as everybody stays healthy. We just have to get our offensive line in tack, it's getting there but they need to create more holes for our running game. The next few weeks will be crucial, we have 2 away games in a row so we NEED to beat the Browns next week cause Titans are pretty good.

As far as Yankees, they just better get past the A's on Wednesday, Red Sox have some problems of their own.

That O-line is something that we could see come together by season's end, barring injury problems. They look good enough on paper, it may just be a matter of getting them to become a cohesive unit. I didn't get in front of the TV until the second half, but Flacco looked pretty comfortable for the bulk of his drop backs last night and it looks like we were able to assert some fatigue on their defensive front. Other than that, we have no weakness. We add Jimmy Smith to the secondary. Our special teams are as good as anyone. Our running game can only get better. We have a pretty tough stretch for about the next four games. I'm really excited to see how we stack up against some of these teams. I think one is a game in Carolina which should look more like a Steelers Ravens game than last night did.

Honestly, I'm more worried about getting caught flat in the one game playoff than I am against Houston, Boston or Cleveland. Squeak past the As and I expect them to go to the World Series. Beating the best Boston team of all time to do it will just make it that much sweeter.

Browns/Raiders game was the worst officiated game of all time. All the zebras working that game should be fired.

Great game on MNF. Keenum had Thomas that would've won the game, but overthrew him.

There should be some kind of buzzer or siren that goes when the clock hits zero. Chiefs got away with one but the officials miss that exact thing all the time.

Mahomes was really damn composed tonight. Can't ask for much more out of a young QB. That was a tough environment with a **** OL and he delivered.

Now Grady Jarrett is out. :o If you have any Steelers in your fantasy league then you should probably start 'em.

Don't believe the Mahomes hype is going away anytime soon. When you have the release of a Marino, the big arm of an Elway and the poise and field generalship of a Montana, IMHO we will be taking about this kid for a very long time. This kid is very special.

After a year and a half of watching them, I have to lean towards Goff. Both have a lot of weapons and talent around them but I have noticed watching the past 4 Rams very closely, Geoff is starting to remind me of Vince Ferragamo.

Rams' offense is ridiculous. Outside of their OL falling apart and Goff having an off day they should score 30+ every game.



The Vikings also committed possibly the most uncalled holds in NFL history.

And just to check my bias, I went to an NFL forum and saw other fans (non-Rams fans) commenting on how many went uncalled.


Holding calls go uncalled all the time. They literally picked up the flag on the block in the back call.



That was a bad call for sure, but there were still far more uncalled holds than anything else in that game.

They do go uncalled quite a bit but that doesn't change the fact that there were probably more missed calls in the Vikings favor. What's the point in having Aaron Donald if you're allowed to just hold him all game long? No need to have a guard with any technique...just make sure he's strong enough to grab hold of Donald and not let go.

I point that out because it's very frustrating. It's happening every game and you can see Donald talking to the refs in between plays.
