Never liked Adam Shein, he seems to really dislike the Ravens. He is so off on these comments, just wow.

Why get so worked up about something that has no impact on what the Ravens do on the field? Haters gonna hate. Just ignore and appreciate.

Personally, I love the haters. Keep hating and doubting the Ravens. It will just stoke the fire inside the players more.

Nice poetic phrase!!

He says the Ravens defense isn't the same sans Ray Lewis and Webb. He's right, they actually have been better. It looks to me like h's just another one of those guys that watch a few highlights and then write a column about things he really has very little feel for. True that Flacco was ultra conservative most of the game, but when he had to be, he was money.

[ravenjoe]

"Flacco was average at best (completing 30 of 51 passes for 355 yards and one touchdown) in Sunday's squeaker of a win over the San Diego Chargers"

I totally disagree with this statement - where is he coming from based on the stats alone?! Not to mention the fact that Joe delivered time and again down the stretch when the Ravens needed to keep moving the chains. No, this guy's comments are way off base, imho!

At 355 yards, Flacco's performance is in the top 20 out of over 320 QB starts in the league this year.

The comment about the defense regressing just shows that he has done zero research to back up his pre-conceived notions.

Thanks for the laugh.

Are you suggesting this defense hasn't regressed?

Going from the tops of the league last year to the near bottom is certainly regression. Not sure how you can fault him there.

I agree the Ravens defense is not as good as last year's. That is not what he said. Here was his quote:

The Ravens' defense has not been the same sans injured players Lardarius Webb and Ray Lewis.

Do you agree with that?

EDIT: And to be clear. I think the pass defense would be MUCH better with Webb playing. But I think with the return of Suggs, and Pees getting on the same page with his players and vice versa, that the overall defense has gotten better since the Dallas game (when Lewis and Webb got hurt).

You obviously didn't read the article. He said since Webb and Ray have been out, when its completely the other way round.

He specifically said after losing Ray and Webb. Not this year.

Just looking for a little clarification folks. Gees.

Thanks JBK.
