Gregg done for 2008

Kelly Gregg will have microfracture surgery on his left knee today, ending the season for the Ravens nose tackle, his agent said last night.

[phish]

Get well soon Kelly. We will be here when you get back next year!

God Bless You with your recovery

!!!!!!!!GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!

[Jeff Davis]

Bummer! I hope its not a contract year for Gregg. He will be missed. Hopefully, Bannon can fill the void.

Big surprise. Depletes the defense even more.

Even more? Gregg hasn't seen the field at all this year, and Bannan has filled in admirably.

[ravencaws from jax fla]

This has nothing to do with this article,but living in Jacksonville Fla,I don't have access to all Ravens news,my question is,are they still or did they ever,start releasing those 2 live Ravens before every game or was that plan scrubbed.

[Dave]

What a shame! Kelly Gregg was probably the most under-rated DT in the NFL. GEt well soon Kelly we are all pulling for you. Justin Bannan no doubt will fill the void. He has done well so far.

[FireTrembley]

The Ravens are toast.

He has filled in admirably, but there is no question this depletes the defense even more. The front four has had a difficult time putting pressure on the QB the last couple of games and this will be an even bigger challenge with the injuries in the secondary. Next Man Up ....

I would say that our front has only had a difficult time getting pressure on the QB against the Titans. All the credit goes to their offensive line though, as they did a great job stopping our rush. Gregg being out for the year (and there's a chance he's done for good) definuitely sucks, but I believe Bannan/Douglas will continue to step up.

It's the patchwork secondary that really has me worried. If Cmac goes down, you will see a repeat of last year's defensive collapse.

The lack of pressure on Collins was laughable. The hardest shot the Ravens put on him all day was a tap on the helmet from Suggs that resulted in a momentum changing 15 yard play. That combined with the fact that many of the Ravens don't know how to tackle led for a pathetic display on that last long drive. Too many guys trying to put the big hit on and not enough guys wrapping their man up. Ravens will be 2-3 after this weekend...with both their wins coming against garbage opponents.

can someone take injury mode off please? thanks

[Brian]

This is a real blow to our defense. Bannan's done a nice job but he's no Kelly Gregg

Why do you even bother to post comments? You are always angry and negative. And you clearly don't have a clue.

Well considering I called the outcomes of the last two games...I clearly have a clue. The Ravens have beaten no one. They will lose again this week and finish at 5-11 just as I predicted before the season started.

[Teapot]

FireTrembley WTF guy, why do you continue to post your negative comments on here?

Anyway if we continue to reply back to FireTrembley we are feeding him more fire so I say just ignore him guys.

I know Christmas is F A R down the road but I like to make a wish early so Santa can you please give us some wins and open up our offense and oh yes make FireTrembley go away.

GO RAVENS!

If you post every week that the Ravens will lose, you will eventuallly be correct. The fact is, as of all your predictions, we should be 0-4. Furthermore, this shows a lack of intelligence from your part. BTW, the Ravens have yet to be blown out as all your wrong predictions have predicted. So, the fact is you're an idiot and should not be allowed to use a computer.

How many points did the Ravens score this week?

While I agree with your politics, I disagree about the team. I did predict 5 or 6 wins at the beginning of the season I have changed it to 8 or 9 now. Our defense (if stays healthy) will keep us in any game, the team needs to start putting away these games they should have won.

Our lack of explosiveness on offense continues to kill this team. That and our defense tends to turn tail and run for at least one critical drive per game. If everything falls the Ravens way this year 8-8 is the best we should expect. 5-11 is more likely. They've played about as well as they can this year and they are 2-2. They still have 4 games against the NFC East, a game against the Steelers, Colts, Jaguars...Those are seven though games that they will be lucky to pull 2 wins from.

5-11? That's awfully pessimistic. We still have games remaining against Oakland, Cincy, Cleveland, Houston, and we get the Eagles at home. They haven't looked so hot thus far. Those teams listed above have a combined record of 4-18. Pathetic. We should win at least 4 of those 5 games.

Miami, Pitt @ home, and Jacksonsville @ home are all winnable games as well. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we took it to Indy on Sunday.
