We are relishing

In the ravens bad season...but they will be picking in the top 5 of the draft next year. Suggs come back and they will be even stronger.
I hope we at least make a run at the championship

 

I'd be supremely surprised if Suggs is back with them. Newsome likes to cut his losses and stockpile those comp picks. He will be what age next season will they bring him back?

 

34 shortly after the season begins

 

Is that Suggs in a jar?

 

Their QB is stinking up the place and will next year too.

 

T Sizzle may have played his last down for the Ravens?

 

Not seeing that ugly MFer ever again would be great. The crows are on the downslide. No weapons, wonderboy has regressed and their D is getting older. Love to see Hairball in the cellar.

 

Let's focus on, our season. We can't brag about anything we lost to a team who hasn't beat anyone else yet other than our team. I know we should have beat them and if #7 played we most likely would have.

 

yeah well
this is all hunky-dory
butt if we finish just above them or get swept by them especially when the game could decide if we make the playoffs or not
well then I guess they have the last laugh
I don't expect them to be down for years and well this season isn't really over
hell CHECK THAT not half way through.

 

inferiority issues much?

 

The Ravens are old news. I think they will be rebuilding for a few years, I read they have all kinds of cap issues now from redoing contracts to push them into future money.

 

Are you guys insinuating that the Ravens are bad this year? They've lost every game by 7 or less. They've played TOUGH teams. They just haven't closed or got closed on. They are not bad and we could easily lose to them twice again this year.

The Bengals being 6-0 also means jack.

The only real 6-0 team is the Patriots, and I hate them dearly.

 

I think that the Packers, Bengals, Steelers could beat the Patriots on a neutral field close to 50% of the time. They just need to play against a team who can outscore them. They do not have a great defense.

 

Joe Flucco's contract is so outrageously back loaded that it's going to kill them. His cap hit nearly doubles from $14.5M to $28.5M next year. It then goes up to $31M in '17 and then back to $27M in '18. The Rat-turds are about to be crippled by his contract unless they restructure. It's going to be interesting to see how they handle this. Obviously......they're going to have to restructure and extend, but then they'll then be on the hook even longer with an overpaid mediocre QB eating up Elite QB cap space. Look for this story to be pretty big in the offseason. It has to be.

His out of the blue magical postseason run that got them the Super Bowl is going to haunt them and long term could be the best thing to happen for the rest of the division.

 

Thats whats in the jar. Harbaugh's tears and the remnants of Suggs torn ligaments.

 

The Ravens will have to build their whole team off of dirt cheap free agents and draft picks. Flacco's contract is going to completely handcuff the team over the next few years. If he isn't outright cut.

 

Too expensive to cut.
His dead money next year ($26M) is almost as much as hit cap hit. Even after June 1st and spreading it over 2 years it would be $10M in '16, then $16M in '17.

If he plays next year then the dead money for '17 goes down to $15M....or after June 1 $10M then $5M in'18. So if you're going to cut him it would have to be at least after the '16 season when it would minimize the dead money. But doing that means that he counts $28M against next years cap.

Pretty much like the Herpes, the Ravens are stuck with him.

TTF, correct me if Im wrong on my understanding of the cap.

it's a pickle they're in

 

I know it probably makes me a bad person, but I really do relish them being in the cellar. And I also like their signing of Flacco being a major part of it. They gave that guy Brady money and his biggest strength was drawing generous PI calls down the field.

 

They really had no choice.

He was set to become a UFA after the Super Bowl. Someone would have given him the world. Or at least what the Turds gave him. They probably wouldve been wiser about how to distribute the money, but he no doubt would've gotten that contract somewhere else.

It was actually a blessing for the Steelers, Bung's, and Browns that the best 3 game stretch of his career won them a title and happened to be the last 3 games of his rookie contract.
