If we had a veteran QB and a legitimate #2 we would defiantly be at least 3-1 right now the way our Def is playing.

So yea.. Marc Bulger and Anquain Boldin two Raven players that should be Carolina Panthers that aren't because of JR obviously. How would you respond to coaching a team without a good QB or a vet at WR#2?

Never seen him so mad, fist clenched and all. Maybe it's acting, but I really don't think he has checked out...yet.

We haven't had a real playbook since he's been here. Everything is obvious, passing formations and routes suck. I'm not even sure if we have a quick slant play in the playbook, the most effective play in the NFL. Seems we just have the receivers run retarded routes down field which are easy to cover. Running plays and passing plays people can see coming, regardless. We can't run a screen, ever, because it's obvious when one is coming.

Sorry, but Fox ball is tired and pathetic. Like Sean Payton says, it's a pass first league. Run first league and you end up like us: run, run, pass then punt and rely on defense to win you games? Boring and not effective. Even the Ravens have evolved into passing instead of trying to run it every down.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
