Shit! Ryan Day has tested positive for the virus. Hope he'll be okay.

Yeah hope he is ok and recovers. Not too worried from a coaching standpoint. The offense will be fine...always an adventure for the defense though lol

If he's not, Harbaugh should be available soon.

Did you hear Jimmy Jam's big brother John has a virus issue with his team? Twelve players have tested positive so far. Then there's that story about the strength & conditioning coach that was ignoring all league virus protocols that also tested positive. John's supposed to be in charge of his team. Guess this proves Jim isn't the only dummy in the Harbaugh family.

Now this is a doozy.

GiGi is over on the other site crying about this site. Saying the mod's here are targeting certain members and allowing others to say anything they want. Holy shit that fella's a laugh riot.

Exactly why I stopped going on that site. Got tired of going there and seeing them talk about this site. For the first week or two it was fine but you must move on eventually

People on that site trashing this one seems to be common. My question is has GiGi been banned from this site? Saw some pople talking about it earlier today, but I don't remember which thread.

 

[dtgold88]

lol, obviously i don't remind you enough...

yeah...I'm done doing your work for you.

 

[dtgold88]

NFC Least baby!

I legitimately think the Washington Football team is going to win this division. They are playing better than the other right now.

I think it's them or NYG. After seeing Philly and Dallas in last game for each they looked pretty bad....though WFT deserves some credit for making them look bad.

 

[dtgold88]

I don’t think he should be getting ripped either. He is doing his job.

At some point, he needs to do more to beat the Pittsburgh’s and the KC’s of the world.

But he is doing just fine.

Oddly, the guy did beat Pittsburgh and Bmore last year. Ravens at full strength. Go figure.

will say those games were definitely disappointing...not even that they lost, but once down by a lot there was no fight....not even meaningless stats in a futile comeback attempt.

Never know for sure, but he's young so have to figure he will.

Well, Pittsburgh is a lot better this year.

Baltimore clearly not playing nearly as well, but it still feels to me like they can recover. Their remaining schedule gets pretty soft after this week. I think Pitt and Cleveland are the only 2 respectable teams they have left.

lol, yeah the idiot tried his DAMNEDEST to troll me yesterday or the day before and even tried insulting my wife. not only is the an idiot but he's a coward too...

he finally gave up when he saw he couldn't rattle me. but his excuse was "he shut up as a favor for tf12". he made an ass out of himself for the better part of the afternoon...

agree about Steelers, but Browns were last team to beat Bmore last season...and what did that get them (was my point)? and, yes, Bmore not playing well at all.

 

[dtgold88]

Sucked not being able to watch OSU.....again. No doubt season a clusterfuck but still think better than no season.

And as a ravens fan I can say that it’s mainly because Jackson is just not playing well at all. I just don’t see winning with him unfortunately

Are you inclined to think last year an anomaly for him?

Honestly, he and Baker are proof that once a narrative is picked up it's hard to shake good or bad. Many of the same people who are critical of Baker are not critical of LJ...and he has many of the same issues (some are worse). LJ is definitely more of a game manager and system QB than Baker. And I cannot imagine any reasonable NFL follower would rather have LJ trying to lead his team back in a deficit than to have Baker.

does that make Baker an elite QB as some thought he might become (myself included) after his rookie season? Nope. My guess now is his ceiling is top 10 QB.

I don’t know what is going on but at times this year it would seem that the Ravens are going to force Jackson to be a pure passer. Anyone that has watched knows that is not going to happen, he just doesn’t have the arm. As for Baker, I just don’t see him being anything more than a serviceable QB, but he is better without Beckham on the field, the numbers show that.

Not all that surprising. A young QB like Baker can feel like he HAS to get the ball to the star receiver, regardless of whether he is open or not. Especially when that receiver has a big mouth like OBJ.

He's probably spreading the ball around and throwing to guys who are actually open.

Sure does seem to be the case.....just think maybe too small a sample size without him (since last time played without him as rookie and with Stefanski this time) to be sure.

Yeah, I think he is going to be in the Eli Manning/Matthew Stafford category.

They are solid franchise QBs. They are good enough to win with when you surround them with talent and a good scheme.

There will be good years and bad years. And if you get hot at the right time you might even sneak a Super Bowl.
