Agreed, never been a fan of resting players like this. Even more so given the last month of performances. They needed to built of of last weeks win.Quote:

Only thing that bothers me is walking into the playoffs with a offense that we have no clue what their real skill level is

Yea because we sure fought tooth and nail for this one. Christ, we sewed up our playoff spot and let the young'uns take a crack at winning. "Losing" this game was meaningless.Quote:

And not moving the ball well during their couple drives today. Looked like same old road Ravens on offense.Quote:

Someone start the "wheels are falling off " thread
Lol at the idea that missing the last 3/4s of a meaningless game makes our starters "rusty."
Some people just need to be miserable to feel good.
I'm in DC tonight with my inlaws (Skins fans). THEY understand what a gift making the playoffs is and are threw the roof at the mere possibility. Meanwhile we had a chance to rest our injured and protect out starters because we sewed up a spot last week and no matter which choice we made, half the board was prepared to piss and moan that it was idiotic.
After we lost to Pittsburgh I said we'd lose out. So far, I'm 3 for 4, thankfully I was wrong at least once. I would have preferred to go 0-4, but alas. I would much prefer to not be negative, but I have to call it like I see it.Quote:

I think the Ravens are fine. I was actually encouraged by how well the defense played today, especially vs the Cincy starters. Ellerbee seems to be a key player for them. Also, I would consider putting Hall or Tyson ahead of Cody on the depth chart.
