Stop! Don't blame the kicker.. plenty of other opportunities... No one is blaming the kicker...we saw all the MISSED opportunities for them to advance...But I did actually see them play foot ball..and even saw a glimpse of what they could be...

PLEASE..REPLACE...THE SECONDARY!!! When they aren't blocking passers, they are committing pass interference. The Vikings shouldn't have had that opportunity to make that last field goal.

Wow... the Ravens played awesome in the second half. I wonder what the coach said to them at halftime. Now the "WOW" bit, was cause it was a good game, not cause I like them. LOL

Send the secondary packing and the defense coach also!

Hate to say it but this is an 8-8 team, maybe 9-7. We can beat the scrub teams but can't beat the elite teams. Yeah it's nice that they came back but in the NFL a loss is a loss. With Denver, Pitt twice, Cinci, Bears, Colts to come I think we'll have a tough time getting +.500 record. Hope I'm wrong but gotta call it like I see it.

Unfortuanately, I'd have to agree with you shoreterp. But I hope I'm wrong.

Um....heyy...I hear the Redskins need fans if you guys wanna go there.... Seriously...omg...this is the one thing I can't stand....the 6th week and already folks are talking about how bad our season will be?? I was disappointed in the loss...there were things we could have done better, sure...but to call the ENTIRE season over 6 games? Get a grip!! We still have a lot of playing to do. I plan on cheering for them every time! Even if they DON'T go to the playoffs....jeeze. I am NOT a fan only if my team goes to the playoffs or has a winning season! That's not a fan....that's....a Steeler! What? Do they have to be undefeated before you support them and keep hoping?

My son went to the Redskins/Chiefs game...he had a blast (he is a Ravens fan)....he had bought tickets for his girlfriends brother who is a Chiefs fan. I watched the reruns of this game on TV and was really surprised at how empty that stadium was. Really quite sad. When a team is down that's when they need their fans the most... I am a Ravens fan....even if they don't win another game the rest of the season. Will I be pi$$ed off if they don't win again...well of course...But there is always next year. One more thing. As for the "Elite" teams.....saw one of them last year...err...was undefeated...and then folded in the end....so you can win them all and still not get the prize.

What people need to understand is that for the most part the fans frustration at this point is directed at ownership and the front office. Obviously, the coaches and players need to step up their efforts, but the problem goes back years with Snyder and Cerrato. There really is no bandaid or quick fix to the problem - the team needs to start rebuilding - until that happens you will see more and more empty seats. To not totally hijack the Ravens thread, there's no way fans should give up on the Ravens -they are a good team and have played tough each game. Also, at least you guys have good ownership and management.

That's not a fan....that's....a Steeler! What? Do they have to be undefeated before you support them and keep hoping? I hear what you're saying but believe me I am a fan. I have season tickets since way back at Memorial Stadium and have probably missed no more than a hand full of games in 14 years. I'm not bolting on the team and I'd rather jump off the Bay Bridge than root for the Steelers (or Skins for that matter). Never said I wasn't a fan. Just saying my realistic projection of wins and losses is 8-8 or maybe 9-7. Doesn't mean I'm abandoning the team or selling my tickets. I'll still be there every home team screaming until my voice goes out. But if I see problems with my team I'm not going to ignore them. Right now they are a good team that doesn't know how to beat great teams. Until they do that they are just a good Ravens team. Still time to turn it around, but realistically I would be surprised if they get to the playoffs at this point with the schedule they have. I hope I am wrong, I would LOVE to be wrong on this. But do me a favor and don't question my loyalty to the team. You will meet very few folks who follow the Ravens with the passion I do and who put their money where their mouths are by showing up and rooting hard at nearly every home game in 14 years.

Um....shoreterp....you are making a few assumptions yourself as to how long we have been Ravens fans and yea, we have had our PSL and season tickets for as long as the Ravens have been offering them.....I know we at LEAST have you tied. And yea...my husband and his dad have been going to see Baltimore play since they were the Colts and in Memorial Stadium too. Ok? How long anyone has been a fan is not the issue....it's what KIND of fan they are that is for me. It just leaves a really bad taste in my mouth to listen to the boo-hooers whine about a team that I support 100%. I was cranky last game...that was a loss that shouldn't have happened. For SEVERAL reasons. The game before...same deal. Here's the thing...some one is going to win...and some one is going to lose. Do I want it to be the Ravens every time?? Well...YEA... But sometimes they don't. It's that simple. That doesn't mean I am going to dismiss the rest of the season or hide my Purple Pride! (just ask Sue down at No Place about me walking in dressed from head to toe in my Ravens gear!! LOL) When I hear people talking like that....when all they have to do is sit on their butts and WATCH the games...not actually DO any of the playing, coaching, kicking, staffing, etc. ... I don't feel I have questioned anyone's loyalty...the statements do that all on their own. Sorry...it made me cranky...it makes me cranky...and it will continue to make me cranky. Getting our stuff ready for the Denver game...see ya there I'll be the one in purple...screaming.

Don't worry speedergurl, we're on the same side. Losses get me cranky and negative. Let's hope they get back on track next week. See you at The Vault

Its our right as fans to complain about our favorite teams and how they could do better. Everyone does it, its not a big deal. I'm still a fan and I'll still watch every game. And I'm sure I'll complain about some part of it. Its therapeutic.

SG - I'm a loyal Redskin fan, and talk trash when things aren't going well, but when big money is being spent by us fans with expectations to at least see a reasonable product - well, it's our right to make our feelings known. I've got two dogs, including your "Buddy", who cower (for Dan Snyder, that's Cowher) when I watch the 'skins game. I yell and scream many unmentionables during the games, but would never change my allegiance to another team - though I'm sure Raven's fans would be willing to let me enter into their nest ;D By the way, how 'bout some examples of what we might hear you screaming should things not go so well?
