Heap out, Sypniewski gets start vs. Browns

Tight end Todd Heap will miss his fourth game in the last six weeks after being deactivated for today's game between the Ravens and Browns.

very good article.

We got screwed, by the dirty NFL refs. AGAIN. Period.

Boller was amazing in the second half, as was Devard Darling. Who knew a fourth year player who hasn't done SH*T for this team his entire career, would step up so big today when we really needed him? God Bless him.

Despite the loss, if this team can maintain this kind of offensive consistency, and build off of it, we can win some games.....even some of the hard ones that we have left. We aren't making the playoffs, but we can at least get some of our dignity back....and I think Kyle is well on his way to proving that he deserves the starting spot next season. And a healthy new contract.

I am not convinced Boller is the QB we need for the long term. He has little pocket awareness. On one of the sacks, he failed to slide to some open space to his left, where there was space to throw the ball from. And the pick returned for a TD.

Keep your head up Kyle; you started shaky but finished fine. It wasn't your fault. At least you can throw the ball over 20 yards.

Boller played well enough to win. I, too, think we got hosed. But, as a Raven fan, I have come to expect that from the NFL zebras. This year against Cincy -- the phantom call? Now the missed FG that CANNOT be reviewed -- gets reviewed and OVERTURNED! Destpite the poor play be the offense this year, we should be 6-4---not 4-6.

Yo' Ravens Flock, watch the replay; screwed by the refs? hardly. The FG was good; learn the rules.

Place the focus on where it belongs: BILLICK!. Remember, it's 3rd and 1. He calls a PASS. If they call a run, and supposed Ravens don't get the 1st down, 1 of 2 things happpen:(a) Ravens run the clock down for the game winner; (b) Browns call TO. In either case, Ravens make the FG and there is little to no time for the Browns, at least 3 less seconds than they had when they kicked the game winner.

The refs made the right call...BILLICK made the wrong call (as he did against the Bengals on Monday night and against the Bills). Billick is 0-3.

The Ravens need to replace Billick. Plain and simply.

[ravencaws from jax fla]

Maybe one more win,thats all,a 5 and 11 record,worse record since the pre-Billick era. When do the O's go to spring training?

[Lee]

Your wrong, Jeff. Cleveland had 3 timeouts left. If we ran, they'd call a timeout right away - the same amount of time would elapse for an incomplete pass. If Boller put the right touch on the pass, we'd have gotten the first down and you wouldn't be whining. The blame goes on execution. The play calling was great throughout the 2nd half. We moved the ball well.

i just don't know what to say

[ravensfan21]

Any coach should know to run on 3 and 1,they could have run out some time on the clock.The field goal was ruled no good,the call CANNOT be reviewed.Where in the NFL rulebooks does it say a field goal ruled no good can be changed so that it counts as good?If im right there is not one.

Sypniewski was wide open on the 3rd and 1. If the Ravens had a real NFL qb playing they would have converted.
