The Case Keenum era begins for the Rams.

 

If the Ravens had any positive thoughts after a win, and the bye...  have to think they are gone now.

 

One thing to watch is who shows up ready to play each week the rest of the way.

It was looking promising there for a minute, where the Ravens had a favorable schedule to get back to 6-6 before you faced Seattle, KC and Pitt at home before closing out the year at CIN.

 

That of course is all gone now....so yeah, just finish the season strong???

 

No...2-14 would be fine with me.

I was going to say, oh no...Case Keenum...but looking back at that boxscore from last year when he beat us with the Texans, I'd be more worried if Randy Bullock was the Rams kicker.

I'm going this week and secretly excited to see Todd Gurley run roughshod. Through the stands, over the cheerleaders, down Russel Street. Dude is going to run everywhere.

Mighty Men of Baltimore

At half time they eat orange slices and have a pizza party at the end of the year

[Mackus]

Team pizza party sounds like a pretty awesome idea.  They should do that at the stadium or the Castle and invite fans or the people who do all the community outreach stuff.

File this under "Things that sound ridiculous when the team is bad but the media would eat up if the team was good"

 

Imagine the Peter King/other NFL stooge column:

 

That all changed when head coach John Harbaugh began to reward his players for effort, not results.

 

"It takes men of character to win at this game," the coach told his soldiers.

 

And here's the thing.

 

It worked.

 

After finishing 2015 a lowly 4-12 and at the bottom of the AFC North, they've come roaring back to win their first two games of 2016.

 

"Our guys just needed a push," said former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Joe Flacco, "and I think teaching our guys that it's worth it to put in the time and effort to be great really helped."

 

Gag me.

I got stickers in 1st grade whenever I'd sit still and shut-up after getting my work done ahead of time... they were gold...

 

It was either that or have the nun whack my knuckles with a ruler...  has he tried whacking their knuckles with a ruler?

[bnickle]

[RShack]

Well, they look like gold stickers to me... maybe... or are they beige...

 

Beige stickers?

[Mike in STL]

Marlon Brown's locker has no stickers.

[Mike in STL]

Robert Quinn ruled out as well.

But I'm not talking myself into the Ravens winning a game. Not gonna do it.

I'd say he'd make a good kindergarten teacher with his nonsense, but the minute an unscheduled fire drill happened he'd start screaming and then blame the school board for his kids failing their exam on shapes and colors.
