New Ravens, same as the old ravens. Just ridiculous 

This will be a team loss. Every facet. How the fuck do you not hand it to Henry on 3rd and short, and instead throw a low percentage long pass. Gave it right back to the Saints. Defense is soft. OL is mediocre. 

[WxUSAF]

For fucks sake. Same shit 

[Herb@MAWS]

Another fooking loss in the last two minutes?  I have seen this movie way too many times in the last year. Time for a Lamar miracle. 

[CAPE]

LOL Ravens.

[Maestrobjwa]

That INT was completely on Bateman, imo. He was not where he was supposed to be--and his reaction showed it.

Well we can't blame this on Harbaugh, lol

You gotta wonder whether it may take a bit to shed some of the scars from the old regime. Some defensive players have mentioned said "scars" that showed up during camp & preseason.

Some Monken-ish calls. Henry forgotten on a short yardage critical down.

Meh. Game was lost before that. Plenty of blame to go around.

Dunno about scars. There are some players that need to be shed.

Oh yeah I know. But I'm just saying--that is not the first time he's done something weird on a route that results in an INT.

Something about this game made me not pick the Ravens in Survivor pool. Saints are on the rise, and lost a heartbreaker last week. Ravens have plenty of chinks in the armor. They managed to overcome them last week with big plays despite a bunch of penalties.

I don't think anyone will accuse the commanders of being a good Football team.

Wtf.

When Does DQ get fired? 

[CAPE]

Tell me if this sounds familiar: Ravens led 14-3 at halftime. Henry had 5 carries in the second half. Monken?

Too many penalties-both games. Harbaugh?

Defense looks soft. Zack Orr?

 

[CAPE]

These young OC "gurus" come down to earth. We know how bad Doyle was today, but the Bears scored 3 today after 59 last week lol.

They're all gone so what's the cause? Marlon Humphrey? And yet he still makes plays (I actually can't remember but one play where he had bad coverage but maybe there was another). Hamilton is a stud. Wiggins as well. Hawkins solid. Now perhaps Starks is an issue? Front 7 should be getting more pressure than that given who we have. 

Personnel-wise...with tje coaching change it should be better...which is why I mentioned maybe it's some leftover that the new regime can change--but just takes time. I will say that today isn't exactly a big blown lead either (up by no more than a TD), and more about all 3-phases being dominated as you said. So maybe there's chance this isn't an indicator of same ol' same ol' and we just plain lost...but we'll find out soon enough.

No idea why we are seeing the same old shit with a completely new coaching staff. Humphrey is mediocre at best at this point. The overall personnel in problematic- the defense looks soft, esp without Madibuike. The OL is problematic- Stanley's best days are behind him, and the interior is not very good at this point. The excessive penalties continue.

[CAPE]

Great lol. Injuries galore?

He is too fragile. Very lanky/skinny. If he doesnt bulk up he will have a short career in today's NFL.

This was a non contact injury. No different than bulky muscular dudes who blow out knees making cuts or jumping. 
 

It’s bad luck and some players can’t shake that

Good thing hockey season starts soon

[Herb@MAWS]

Ravens…. Penalties …. Blah blah….. lose AGAIN in final 2 minutes ….

[EastCoast NPZ]

Don't worry, the Ravens have a gimme next week against a D-III defense.

Not sure about elbows but I dislocated my shoulder 25 years ago and its never been the same. These guys obviously get better medical treatment but sometimes there is only so much you can do to repair the body.

Hey folks in the DMV - Big brobdingnagian rain blob is moving inexorably YOUR way!

It's gonna RAIN BUT GOOD on you all!

Hey could ya please send some of that OUR way please? We got nuthin but a big 'ole Sonoran upper level RIDGE over Texas - and it's supposed to stay put thru early October with upper 90s every day, upper 70s to low 80s every night!

 

Ugh!

There are some smart people on this forum, how worried do we need to be about ai? It seems like the smartest people with the most experience with this stuff are the most worried and that’s usually not good. 

What you guys worried about? AI and advanced robots WILL change our world for the better. That is GOOD news for very young people. It is BAD news for me because this is all gonna happen well past my time. I know everything about what is coming BUT I am just too damned OLD. Maybe if I won a 2.7 billion dollar lottery, took the cash option, set up a directed trust, and got with some of Ray Kurzweil's doctors, maybe I'd see 2045 and have a shot and an incredibly long life. But I won't. The BIG year is 2050. General AI + advanced robots = all work done by robots, Humanity will be able to do whatever it wants.

I was excited at first, but once I found out Musk is still trying to source 10000 parts for Optimus Robots, I realized we are looking at a 20 year time horizon at least. Poor Musk. It'll take him to 2038 just to have a workable robot that can do everything a human can do. Musk will amass 200 trillion dollars and will probably live for 10000 years but it will all come just a bit too late for me.

It's gonna happen very soon and will be a super good ending for Man - but I was born about 15 years too early. I'll miss out. Darn.

Many of you people who are in your 20s, 30s, 40s ---- You are likely going to live at least 500 years. Because all the incredible medical breakthroughs in the next 15-20 years, and you will still be young enough or at least still ALIVE.

Now, if we had a Miracle. Musk makes incredible breakthroughs. We develop good gravity control, ACTIVE not passive gravity control, We make unprecedented medical breakthroughs, develop antiaging protocols, turn me back to about 39 when I am 68 in 2032, well I think I'd probably make it after all then I'd hit practical escape velocity along with probably billions of other people, Earth is crowded, I get to train in an off-planet field and have an all-new career, that could span hundreds, if not thousands of years......

It won't be me. But some of you WILL! Some of you, under those parameters, with enough time passing, you will be able to do it. You'll live as long as you want. You'll have children, grandkids, great grandkids, great great grandkids, great great great grandkids, and you will be as old as you want, for as long as you want. Many of you will travel the world then the galaxy in the future when we will have transports that can move at effectively hundreds of times the speed of light!

Man I wish this could be me. But if you are young enough now, IT WILL BE YOU. One day the world will change naturally and you will be a part of it! I'll be cheering you guys on from wherever I am lol.
