GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)

[StingerNLG]

Sigh. Boller's got some good throws coming out of the gate here........

......BUT CAN WE PLEASE THROW THE FUCKING BALL DOWNFIELD?????? At this point I don't care if they get picked off. At least take the damn SHOT!!!


Boller is 7/7, but for 33 yards????? If this is all we're going to do in the 4th quarter, then put Flacco in and just let him play it out.

[Sephy]

I mean I didn't mean it that roughly, btu I didn't see him look good early either. He looked VERY poor, and it goes well beyond that pick.
Stan WHite is certainly a joke.
Thanks for the game log Sephy it is appreciated by many that can't view the game, I guess I have a different opinion of the early goings. That came out a bit harsh I suppose. I personally jsut feel that it's hard to look good with only a couple of pass attempts in multiple series, for three yards in a quarter and a half, which is about where you picked it up...

I'd just like to see something good from any of our QBs at this point.

[Sephy]

Pick it up at midfield.
1st, Ross sneaks through for 5.
2nd and 5, complete to Bergen who powers forward for a first.
Solid, if unspectacular start for Boller.

[StingerNLG]

JESUS!!!!!! COME ON!! Get the ball out!

[StingerNLG]

Smith!!! Catch the damn ball!! It's right there in front of you!!!!

[Sephy]

Boller is NAILED by Wims, fumbles, but the Ravens recover. He stood in that pocket way too long.
2nd and 19, incomplete for Smith.
3rd, looking for Smith, tipped by the DB, looked like a good throw though.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

I think we are going to see Boller starting.

BTW...WTF Chester just got ran over and got Boller killed.

Chris Chester may be the worst 2nd round pick we've made and that says a lot with some of the turds Ozzie has picked in that round.

McCauley got a piece and that usually makes it a bit tough, btu it still seemed catchable.

[RavenTD]

glad I stayed up till 2.53am for this showing.

Ray Rice take 10 steps forward the rest of the team 5 steps back.

[StingerNLG]

McCauley got a piece and that usually makes it a bit tough, btu it still seemed catchable.

I'm looking at the replay. If he did, it was a fingertip. But that ball was right in front of Smith.

We just have no momentum right now.

I think we've seen all we need to see from Smith and Boller. I am right now all for letting Flacco finish out the game and let the kid get some game speed work in.

[Sephy]

!!!!
Booty's first pass is PICKED BY MARTIN AND RAN BACK FOR 6!!

Sign me up for some hot Martin action!

[Sephy]

Ravens go for 2.

Inside handoff to Ross - and in!

23-15 Vikes!

[StingerNLG]

Derrick!!! NICE PICK!!!

You can give Martin Frank Walker's job IMO.

[Sephy]

Beautiful read by Martin and long slow pass from Booty. That was his knock coming out - that arm. Can't throw an out like that in the NFL - it will be pick city.

[jonboy79]

I've been singing Martin's praises since the middle of last year, the kid is still YOUNG and can play, give him some time and seasoning and he'll be allright... there is our momentum.

[RavenTD]

Not so easy is iit Booty with none of your USC team mates around you now.

Wonder when Flacco gets to come in.

I agree its Boller for the start in week 1.

[Sephy]

Flacco should come in next series, I'd hope.

[StingerNLG]

Please tell me we're going to keep two kickers this year? I like this Czech guy for kickoffs. I think we should save Stover's leg for the 800 field goals he's going to have to attempt this year.

[highwater]

BTW...WTF Chester just got ran over and got Boller killed.

Is it time to give up on Chester? I haven't watched him closely in this game but he's been a huge disappointment.

[RavenTD]

Flacco should come in next series, I'd hope.

Hope the kid steps up like Rice has from his first showing.Probably too much to ask.But a nice little showing that he is getting to grips with pro football would be nice..
