ITs Raven Week
- Thread starter jr11
- Start date
linemakers obviously don`t understand what 18 players on injured reserve means....one starting off tackle gone for the year...the other was wearing a boot(last I heard)...that means we moved an all pro guard(yanda) out to right tackle and brought in a 5th round draft choice to take yanda`s spot...then we inserted an undrafted free agent to protect flacco`s blind side....that said,i haven`t heard confirmation that starting left tackle Eugene Monroe is out...maybe he`ll pull an aaron Rodgers....
we got beat by case keenum and were down for 3 qtrs. at home vs conor shaw and the josh Gordon-less browns.......the hub of our skill position peeps are older than the buggy whip.....
I dread...I mean dread to think what Antonio brown will do to this secondary(take a gander at his stats in our last game at Pittsburgh).....
I`m really glad we got in...but this isn`t the team that started the season...not even close....and I was hoping we`d face anybody but the steelers in Pittsburgh..not because they`re any better than other playoff teams...you just hate to go play your rivals at their place when your team resembles a mash unit.....our team is beat up and the offense is struggling(particularly on the road)...the secondary`s pitifulness is legendary...
that 3 is a gift,imo....don`t understand why a gambler would be unwilling to wager on what looks like a solid bet whether or not it involves a team he roots for.....if you can`t be objective you probably shouldn`t be wagering real money....
I`ll gladly take a loss if we can pull this off....but because I`m a diehard ravens fan doesn`t mean I`m checking my objectivity at the door...we`re playing with real money here(in my case,not much,but real money just the same)...

I get it Gw..
and understood Jack's stance as well.
personally I can't root against my own money..
Refuse to do it.

I just figure jack runs a gambling site...can`t imagine what the place would be like if it were populated by mindless homer-drones doing nothing more than touting their own interests...
I`m giving an objective opinion and as much info as I can provide regarding the team I`m familiar with.....(and I know I`m pissing jack off
)...seriously,i hope I`m wrong but I just don`t get that line.....if home field is worth 3 points in an intense rivalry like this one,does that mean that the ravens are even money regardless of their injury issues and poor play of late?.....
the -3 line is baffling...:shrug:

You're not pissing me off at all. I want the Ravens to find a way to win but I don't see how they have any chance at all. It looks like the easiest money I have ever seen.
I feel sick that we have to go into the playoffs with such a beaten down team....and going to pittsburgh in such disarray takes a bit of the shine off the accomplishment....I was arguing with friends that the ravens had a shot to get in the playoffs because their late schedule was very favorable(and in spite of all the injuries).....
well,we barely got in....and I`m tickled shitless...but I just wish we were healthy(even moderately healthy) going into that hellhole...
one thing I`ll say...can you remember playing even one fricking game in the flacco/harbaugh era in which this team wasn`t at least contending for a playoff berth?...I don`t think there is one....
that`s a pretty damned solid record....lots of teams would kill for that kind of success....given all the injuries and the rice debacle,we`ve done pretty damned well with a bunch of castoffs(forsett/owen daniels/steve smith)......
yeah,injuries and old age have taken a toll late...I`m still gonna enjoy this week and if we happen to pull off the huge upset,that`s just gravy.....and if we don`t,i`m sure i`ll find something to do with that "dirty money".....:mj07::toast:
