Kyle Boller to start preseason opener.

I just don't think the New England Patriots know the buzzsaw they are going to run into vs KBol and Ravens.

God help the Pats.

Geez, does Kyle Boller have any "upside" anymore...?

Treading water.

Nowhere to go but up.

^ lol

BTW...don't tell SDB but lets keep this positive...as possible

Hey, they've got Troy Smith pushing him, he'd better put up or sit down!

It's payback time.

IMO, the only way we fall to these fucks again is if we show a little pride.

'We' WILL NOT lose to them.

One of the biggest concerns entering Ravens training camp was offensive tackle. Over a week into camp, there's only more questions about that position. Jared Gaither and Adam Terry are expected to be sidelined for at least another week with ankle injuries, and backup Oniel Cousins is considered day-to-day with a knee injury. With these three players banged up, Mike Kracalik is starting at right tackle and Chad Slaughter is working at left tackle.

I'm concerned, but hey, I'm not concerned.

Not a big deal IMO. Flacco's probably so good he can play QB and tackle at the same time.

I'm choosing the Cleveland Browns as the surprise AFC selection.... notwithstanding Zekyl.

Flashes of brilliance last season. If they could extend it over a season (and get past the Glennlers...er, Steelers), they've got a shot.

If Walter Sharpe's favorite team is an AFC team, that's my sleeper pick.

Many people are picking the Browns to do well this season. The only "surprise" is picking them to go to the Bowl.
Never going to happen.

As predictable as it is, the AFC will be represented be the Colts, Pats, or Chargers.

Brady isn't playing tonight. Dude's scared.

15 mins till I can watch THE Ravens vs the pats.

We're beating the fuck out of them. Really taking our MNF anger out.

Btw, I have two degrees from there and am allowed to include myself as part of the team (hence the we without quotations), even though I never played for the team.

Flacco went 0-3 in the preseason game against the Pats. Probably because he just wasn't used to facing shitty competition. Wouldn't surprise me if he bounces back against the Vikes and throws for about 300 on his series.

Whomever the Ravens QB is they'll be lucky their pass gets off.

Keep doubting.

Flacco isn't exactly fleet of foot (judging by that TD run) but it worked.

Double reverse = Cam Cameron is God.

I think GD's Steelers are going down tonight.

The Steelers are nothing more than a bump in the road to SB.

I also think he's dissin this thread cuz he hasn't even posted here yet.

With a win tonight, my Ravens will move to a 4-1 record over the last 5 against the Steelers. That's treading into OSU-Michigan territory.

Ravens OWN the Steelers. Plain and simple.

Hell, they'd be heading into the game with a 4-0 record had they not totally GIFT WRAPPED that MNF game last year.

There are some teams that make other teams just pee themselves. I think Steelers are wearing their yellow jerseys for a reason tonight.

When was the last time the Steelers won a championship? I ask this because I recall the STEALERS winning the SB in 06. Nice job, refs!

sour grapes

Re: Troy Smiff to Joe Flacco for 43 yards

That was awesome.

Lookin good so far tonight.

A win against the Jags and :we: are in. Wouldn't be surprised if :we: fuck it up though.

Should :we: NOT fuck up, I think :we: are going to be very dangerous come playoff time. I'd actually like "our" chances against the AFC East winner in the Wild Card round (unless it's New England), especially if it's Miami (whose boots I will be licking today). Should :we: win that one, :we:'ll probably be playing Pittsburgh, a team :we: could have very well beaten twice already this season, in the Divisional round. To be honest, I'm not shitting my pants thinking about playing the Steelers. At least it ain't Indy, a team that routinely beats and embarasses "us"

The Steelers are frauds, no O-line.

Damn, them there Ravens are looking tough these days. :)

Who dat sayin they gonna beat them Ravens?

Nooooooooooooooobody!

Keep that shit out of here. Go start up SDB's Steelers to the Super Bowl thread if you want to talk about Pittsburgh.

Ed Reed for ROY!!!!! I think that's like 100 picks on the season for him.

It almost happened.

I never thought they'd get this friggin close when I started this thing.

Good season.

I dinnit even think they'd make the playoffs, honestly. I saw it being an 8-8 season, at best. Good run. Hopefully they get even better in the offseason and on the field in 09.

If only Reed could play a lil QB too.

Flacco was putrid in those three games (yes, even the two wins), but has the whole Rookie thing to bail him out. With relatively high expectations (at least from me) for next season and a team that should be improved (especially on offense) in the offseason, the guy's going to have step it up if he wants to be the second coming of Roethlisberger that ESPN keeps touting him to be.

Isn't the defense getting old? I've heard a ton of talk re them losing Ray too. Of course that would solve some of the aging thing, but I doubt that's the right way to go about getting younger, at least not this next year.

Word on the street is they're going to let Ray test the FA market.

He's had bad luck in the street.
Especially in Atlanta amiright?

lulz (did I spell that right?)

Honestly, I watched Flacco in these playoffs and I saw a QB that was no better than Kyle Boller. As a matter of fact, I think Boller would've at least completed half his pass attempts.

Again, the guy was a rookie, so he gets some slack. Time will tell.

What a douche.

SportsPickle caption made me laugh.

"The bouquet was subsequently picked off by Troy Polamalu and returned for a touchdown" or something like that.

uberdouchey

It looks like a AF ad. Ballin'.

Trap game this weekend for the "Ravens", Tbro?

No, because SD isn't one of the worst teams in the league. LOL

TTT

Need to knock the dust off this bitch right now.
