Mike , keep up the good work , I like your stories . I am over the Colt's move , yes it was very long and painful process , but we all have to move on . No sense worrying about something out of our control .

Can Ravens play 4 quarters of football this sunday ? Then we might hear the 'U' word .

It will also keep the ball out of Flacco's hands as well.
Good idea.

agreed...we are a run team, so lets stick to it

i personally dont want to see that. what is flacco suppose to learn from that? this ravens team wasnt playoff bound before the season started so instead of doing the bare minimum (like billick) to win games lets stretch things out just a little. flacco needs to learn some things about quarterbacking before we can start truly being excited about what he is capable of doing out there.

my point is the ravens shouldnt run the ball to death cause they think its their strength. we should continue offensively doing exactly what coach has been doing. playing to our strength which is the running game while giving flacco enough rope to make mistakes and learn what he can and cant do. i think they are doing a good job with developing flacco.

Sorry, but expecting to control the clock by running the ball against the Colts hasn't worked in the past and won't work this time either.

When you find yourrself down by 14 early you're then totally unprepared to make a comeback. The key is to take some chances putting points on the board. Let Flacco throw when it's 0-0 rather then waiting for the Colt's defense to be able to tee off on him.

2-2 record is not bad for a rookie QB Flacco, especially losing to a 2 good teams. Hey, we were only 6 points from being 4-0. That's a learning process and progressions. I just dislike how commentators and media downgrades the Ravens. Add to it, the bogus calls the Ravens been getting from the ref.

Peace n Out
Go Ravens, Beat Colts.

Dwayne, all of our offensive touchdowns came from the redzone and only one was a throwing touchdown. That is one of the reasons why the Ravens are gonna run the ball most of the time because Flacco does not have real legit WR's that he can throw to other than Mason who has been Flacco's favorite target. If Heap can come out of that sluggish start he has had, then maybe the O can open up the passing game alittle more. But until then, it's gonna be all Mclain and McGahee. They certainly don't have a problem moving the chains, but they have trouble finishing drives with points on the board.

Before the season started I thought this game against the Colts would surely be a loss. Now I'm not so sure, the Colts D without Bob Sanders is about as porous against the run as it was two years ago and they should take advantage of that, the Ravens are one of the top rushing teams in the NFL right now (153 yds per game). The Colts are not the same team right now and they haven't even won at their new stadium yet, this went from being what I thought was an impossible win to a very winnable game for the Ravens.

Heap's sluggish start is more of a scheme issue, rather than poor play by the tight end. With a young line and a power running game, the role of the TE in this offense is blocking. I think as the line starts to play better as a unit (which they have been, the sacks against the Titans not withstanding) we will see Heap get more involved in the offense.

Two things can sink the Ravens this week. One is Manning picking on Walker and the other is named Mat. When you get to the 40s, your mind still is ready but the muscle memory starts to slide. Mat has always kicked field goals better when he does not have to kick off (which takes a different type of kick). If we want to keep Mat for a few more years we better get a future kick off/ field goal kicker now and let him kick off so Mat can concentrate only on field goals.

expect big game for mcgahee and mclain. Raven's get back on track and win in Indy. defense and ball control is how we will win. It aint' anymore fun to watch than the billick years, but that's who we are until bazooka joe can show he's a true NFL QB.

Tired of the doom and gloomers cutting on Flacco. We cried for a good QB and now it appears we have a man with good potential. I'm sorry we didn't draft a seasoned NFL QB from college but they are far and few between. I'm sure all the naysayers have an extenstive NFL player and/or coaching experience and not what the heard from some guy in a pub or radio type. Keep the objectivity coming Mike.

Mike--how come ray rice hasn't been used the last 2 games, when in the first two games, he was used a lot? Is he hurt? Is he not practicing well?
