Looking defenseless

[Attila the Hon]

Yesterday I had hoped to watch an inspiring Ravens upset victory. Instead I ended up "sleeping with my eyes open" in front of the television for three hours.
"Manning...Harrison...(si gh) touchdown."
"Manning...Wayne...(sigh) touchdown."
My fellow Ravens fans, now is NOT the time to panic!

The Indianapolis fans are definitely the creepiest in the NFL. When their team has the ball, it's as though they're watching The Masters. No one makes a noise, no one even moves for fear of making even the tiniest of noises. In other NFL stadiums, at least you hear a murmur from the home crowd. When the visiting team has the ball, the Indy fans seems to need a cue from the scoreboards & recorded crowd noises pumped into the sound system.

GO RAVENS! BEAT MIAMI! I am NOT accepting defeat next Sunday!

Mental midgets like Bart Scott and company probably. They do not do well with adversity.

Because they don't match up at all with teams like the colts. The colts are a very small but speedy team and with a great QB like Peyton you can audible at the line he puts them in the right situation almost all the time. If you looked at that game the ravens defenders looked like they were stuck in quick sand.We are one of the slowest teams in the NFL and that stand for not for long if you don't have athletic players on your team and we certainly don't.

Ok, here are two trades that would shore up two bad spots for the Ravens.

Trade a 3rd rounder for Lito Sheppard

Trade a 2nd rounder for Receiver Roy "Stretch the Field" Williams

Don't say that its too much to trade for these two guys. By the time a 2nd and 3rd rounder will start producing will be 3-4 years down the road and thats only if the picks are good and thats not saying much because Ozzie would be drafting them!

The trades are just waiting to happen! Make them today! Both those guys are still young and it would help our weak spots...

Oh, thats right, Sheppard and Williams make big coin and Bisciotti won't spend those bucks!

Maybe Bisciotti will go cheap and sign Duane Starks and Freddie Mitchell!

Hey James....the Ravens were supposed to suck this year. Big deal, the Colts beat a team with a Rookie QB and 4th and 5th string Cornerbacks.

Many here have known that 5 wins this year would be wishful thinking.

Now...let me ask you a**hole. Whats your excuse? Didnt you lose to the Bears ...AND...the Jags??

Hmmmm...two loses already this year. One of which is a Div Opponent, AND you still have to play the Titans TWICE and the Steelers AND the Jags in Jaxville.

Looks to me like your simple ass will be on the sofa at home, just like the rest of the Colts and thier fans...watching the SB.

JUST LIKE THE RAVENS.

LOL - FT accusing someone else of being a mental midget. He who proves day after day and post after post how little he knows about sports, and especially how to run a team. Too funny!

Funny how my prediction about the Colts game was dead on. You along with your homerish brethren were completely OWNED!!! And Bart Scott is only smart in comparison to morons like you.

[John]

I can understand fans from Baltimore being upset with the Isiray family but to hate the Colts because of what a deceased man did in 1984 is really stupid. The players on this Colt team were either not born or in grade school when that happened.

Listen here guys i'm a die hard ravens fan and always will be, but for some reason Flacco just seems like he dosent have that fire or passion...I'm sorry but he just looked so gittery and scared...matt ryan played againt a tougher bears D yesterday and with 11 seconds put his team in possesion to win the game, Flacco couldn't even get past the 20 yard line until the 3rd quater and thats colts were playing soft...
1st-drive..run,pass,pass(int)
2nd-drive..pass,pass,pass
3rd-drive..runpass,pass(fumble )..????
wasen't this colts team last in the league against the run???
i hate watching Willis and McClain trying to shake every defender instead of just putting there head down running stright.. we should have went with rice from the beggining..the colts always have tough time against short and fast RB's...like jones-drew and fred taylor or LT...

Leroy...clearly you're talking out of your rear. If anything Flacco looks too calm out there...people take it for a lack of caring. He's the furthest thing from "gittery". He's made mistakes, but he was playing against D1-AA competition this time last year. Pretty sure DC has there own garbage QB to worry about so why don't you leave Flacco to us.

[Bajadad]

FT - what kind of work do you do for a living? How can you be someone who come in contact with other people during the day? Are you a janitor, a night watchman? Seriously, how can one person have such a negative view of everyone else, and literally "get off" by trying to prove what he thinks he knows. You are one sad, very sad mofo.

You're smacking the QB because of a defense problem. Game plan was changed after we fell behind 17 pts. Not Flacco's fault. Learn some football before you talk.

Your exactly right. Thanks i'm glad there is one more ravens fan atleast that doesnt turn on the team completely. Because those people are NOT fans

[Harbaugh Must Go]

IBG - We're not fans because we're passionate about our team and we're not yes men? Ain't nobody turning, we're just saying what we are seeing. I guess you think Chris Mac had a field day against the Colts? That MacGahee is quite the running back? That Hardballs is a tremendous "one year removed from being a special teams coach" head coach? That Frank Walker knows how to tackle? I bet your boss loves you at work! Yes Mr. Boss, the sky is green, Yes Mr. Boss, the toilet paper is kinda rough...

It's always nice to see your stolen franchise lose to the "Colts"! The sickening embrace of the team you stole from Cleveland has always amazed me. Soulless corporate fools. If real Colts fans from the 50's and 60's could observe you idiots paying for seat licenses and $150 a game, they would be dumbfounded. Yes, I know, some of you were real Colts fans...you are the saddest ones of all....

HEY DIRT BAG GO F..K YOURSELF ALONG WITH THE REST OF YOUR INDY DIRTBAGS

[Ravens Dale]

Let's face it, Manning and the Colts are just better than us. We'll never win another Super Bowl as long as Manning is in the league.

[eryr]

Flacco bites! Put in Troy Smith he can't be any worse!
Oh, Sean Sheafer of Towson U. threw for 373 yds and 4 tds on Saturday; Eric and Ozzie should draft this guy in the 1st round next year - we need a QB!

Cut it out, man. If you are a Colts fan, and you want to post on here, take your lumps like I do, and be honest about it. Don't pretend to be a Ravens fan.
