Yea, and that's why our D has to Really step-it-up that game and pressure the Hell out of him (something they really have not done against the better teams this year). If not, Palmer will 'take us to the cleaners'!

I know, and so Rex has got to do a real good job of disguising the blitz package; otherwise, Palmer will make us pay, just like he has done in the recent past. I do believe, with the right packages, we can confuse Palmer enough in order to get a couple of key turnovers. The rest of the responsibility rides on our O, which if the running game is going (Cincy has a weak run D), and McNair does a good job of managing the game (something we have Not been able to do in the past), then maybe we can steal one.
Once again I find myself asking why is the offensive line getting blamed for McNair sucking?
Why is the system getting blamed for McNair sucking?
Last year people like you, CR and Poe all said it was Bollers fault. To a person you said that if we got McNair our offense would improve.
News flash. It hasn't.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't blame McNair, just like I don't blame Boller. All QBs in this system put up exactly the same stats. It's just funny that hypocrites like y'all are now saying the same thing I've been saying for years, except you still think all of the problems the past three years have been Bollers fault.
Exactly! :iagree:
Suddenly now that McNair is the QB all of the "excuses" that were deemed unacceptable for Boller are perfectly fine for McNair.
Here are the facts:
McNair was brought in to improve the offense - has not happened.
McNair was going to "make the Oline better" - has not happened.
McNair was going to "improve the running game" - has not happened.
Now the team is heading into the hard part of the schedule and we're supposed believe he still needs to learn the offense?
Well, I hope that I am 100% wrong but so far I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for McNair to improve.
The team is 4 - 2, not McNair. Or is the QB the only player on the field?
If the season was only 6 games long this would great. Unfortunately there are 10 more games to go against higher quality opponents.
Anything to add to my other points? Or are they irrefutable? :thumbup:
The ONLY point that matters to me is the Ravens W-L record!

Actually, you are wrong on all three accounts:

This is from the Ravens PR Staff: Through 3 road games this year, the Baltimore Ravens own a 2-1 record as compared to an 0-3 mark in 2005. The turnaround in record is in no small way solely due to the improvement on the offensive side of the ball. The Ravens have gained 100 more yards (868-to-768), scored more points (45-to-33) and committed fewer turnovers (3-to-6) in the opening 3 road games this season compared to their 1st 3 away contests of last year. Baltimore has also cut down on costly penalties in 2006. This year, the Ravens have committed a total of 12 fouls(for -70 yards) compared to 42 penalties (for -320 yards) through 3 road games last year.
Great, so McNair is better than Anthony Wright.Quote:
