Hello from Bmore

Hello everyone,

First off let me say how impressed I am with what I've read so far on the board. It's well organized and the posters are passionate, the moderators welcoming, and the discussion intelligent. A clear step above the Dolphins Phorum (get it, I replaced the F with a PH, sooo funny!) I frequented the past week.

I'm not here just to instigate and talk trash, no new information is revealed from that practice and both sides always leave feeling right, but ticked off. I genuinely enjoy learning from other perspectives as it's impossible not to be extremely biased about your own team when you live in the city and read your own media and discuss it with your own fans.

I miss the days of the AFC Central. Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, yall, and us were always strong and I took pride in our superiority compared to the other divisions. We were clearly the best division in football. Furthermore, we had one of, if not the best rivalry in football for a few years. Every game was a battle and the intensity was top notch.

Saturday cannot come soon enough but in the meantime, I look forward to some good spirited discussion and banter!

 

Ed Reed intercepts God, walks on water, and covers the Earth. He does all of these things, they are not mutually exclusive.

Philosophy question of the day, if Ed Reed intercepted God, and Ed Reed is God, can one intercept him/herself?

It should be a bruiser that's for sure. At this point we're playing through so many injuries and so many weeks without a bye I don't even care, I just want the W and then if we're lucky enough we'll worry about next week when it comes.

As far as Ray Ray vs. Porter, keep in mind that Ray was actually the state champion wrestler in Florida during high school. Furthermore Ray is actually bigger than ever. He can't go sideline to sideline like he used to, but he put on extra muscle this year to help shed blockers and deliver big hits. If anything he's better equipped for a street fight now than he was 5 years ago. Gotta go with my boy here, no question.

 

I know your defense is great, but I haven't watched you guys enough to know about the players beyond the big names. If Griffin has a career remotely similar to Reed you all are in for a treat. People are now discussing whether Reed is the greatest to ever play the position.

If we do in fact lose next week it will be because Ed Reed has determined that the Ravens losing serves a greater good. What good is greater than a Ravens win against the Titans in the playoffs? I have no idea, but that would be the reason.
