Re: Arm Strength Overrated?
I really believe this game in NO is critical, much in the same way the Tampa game was! If we can get a solid Victory, this should infuse some much-needed confidence into both the team (and the coaching staff) which is really needed right now! I think the team is teetering on a precipice right now, and it could either way.

You may be right in that assessment; however, if our D can apply much-needed pressure on Palmer, especially in key situations (which they have not done in the past), And we can control the ball with a solid running game, then maybe we have a chance of pulling it out. But right now, the Bengals, IMO, are the favored team to advance as division champs. We have not established yet IMO the ability to advance to the next level.

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.

Re: Arm Strength Overrated?
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."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

Re: Arm Strength Overrated?
Exactly!
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 ONLY point that matters to me is the Ravens W-L record!
