Men Against Boys
Yea, I know, there are those of you out there who will be offended by my saying this, but it was Men Against Boys out there today. I love my team as much as the other guy; but, hey, this Giants team just MANHANDLED us! They embarassed us! What can one say, except we better get ready for the remainder of this schedule, or it's lights out until next year!

I agree that the Giants were certainly the better team out there today, but I wouldn't say the Ravens got embarrassed like the way they played against the Colts.

Re: Men Against Boys
We got our ass handed to us today. By in my opinion the best team in football... in their stadium. Yep, this one stings a fair bit. But I think we'll rebound from this one and give the Eagles hell next week.

This was a game where Ray Lewis was not at his best and I think it showed. Where was Suggs? Bart Scott?
In a game where I thought Manning would throw at will, the giants ran at will. They seemed able to neutralize our linebackers.

Re: Men Against Boys
Let's take solace in this...
This was arguably the toughest game left on our schedule...if we can come out of that 30-10 and likely with a hungry Defense looking to avenge their poor play, I think we could suprise some teams the rest of this year.
Remember, we expected this team to go 4-12, 5-11 at best...they're 6-4, and our offense is now an equal to our Defense. Let's take that offense to a team with a weaker defense, or a worse offense...I think we can win at least 3 of the next 6..

Re: Men Against Boys
My concern is the injuries are really starting to rack up and the lack of a real Bye is becoming more obvious now. Niggly injuries are starting to play out and it's not gonna get getter.

Re: Men Against Boys
Agree, the Ravens were certainly outplayed today, but I'm not ready to jump off a bridge. Sometimes you learn more from defeat. Hopefully the Ravens learned a little about themselves by the way they were humbledand can take that knowledge into the rest of the year.
That said, I was scratching my head for how they continued to run the ball being down by 3 touchdowns.
Go Chargers!.

Re: Men Against Boys
Everybody needs to take a deep breath. This is the defending Super Bowl champions we just played. We had a patch work O-Line and Secondary and a rookie QB.
At the beginning of the season we were projected to win 4-6 games by most experts. I know expectations have raised based on teams play over the season, but we are still realistically expected to get beat by this team.
We should do well against an Eagles team that is having trouble with the Bengals. No matter how the team tries to sell it, being on the road this long has to suck and after winning 4 straight the boys have done fine.

It was seven different kinds of ugly, but not the end of the world. Ravens got out-played by a great team. That game is now behind the Ravens, and they can focus on playing at home against the Eagles.

Re: Men Against Boys
Guys. We're still 6-4. If Pittsburgh loses today we're still tied with them for the division lead.
This without half our starting team on the field, a rookie QB, rookie HC, rookie RB.
We didn't NEED this game at this point to get into the playoffs. Now we just have to take care of business.
