    AP Pro32 comments about the Ravens

    Can you find the error? lol

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Comments on the Baltimore Ravens by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):
    ---
    BALTIMORE RAVENS (5)
    Chris Berman (ESPN, 4) - After all, Ravens should have been in Super Bowl.

    Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 5) - Joe Flacco looks terrific; using more no-huddle gives offense more pizazz. Even if defense slips, they'll reach double figures in wins.

    Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 7) - Ray Lewis lost weight. Ray Rice got paid. Joe Flacco ready for breakout year.

    Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 3) - Flacco takes next step in his development as a franchise QB

    Bob Glauber (Newsday, 3) - Joe Flacco looks ready for breakout season. If that's case, team goes deep into January. Perhaps beyond.

    Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 9) - Last two Super Bowl champions finished 2-2 in preseason. Ravens were one of 11 teams at 2-2 this August.

    Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 10) - Not sure why, but have a feeling Ravens might be sliding backward.

    Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 7) - Ray Lewis & Co. have every intention of making Peyton Manning's Denver debut Sunday evening a Rocky Mountain Low.

    Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 6) - Offense looked impressive to me on my camp tour. I really liked their no-huddle attack. Defense may not be driving force they once were but far from a liability.

    John Lynch (Fox Sports, 5) - Suggs loss hurts immensely but team knows window is closing and will play with urgency reflecting that.

    Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 8) - I had Ravens ranked 17th in last poll because of pass-rush concerns. I'm now convinced Baltimore's three top young offensive players (quarterback Joe Flacco, running back Ray Rice and wide receiver Torrey Smith) can help compensate any defensive drop-off.

    Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 4) - Offense should be better than ever, but Ravens still need to figure out how to replace Terrell Suggs.

    You sit at a computer and type what you're going to say...all he had to do was look up the damn schedule.

    I love how John Lynch thinks our window is closing. If enough of them say it long enough, it might actually come true some day. The window has been closing since 2008, that's a long fucking time to close a window.

    As for Mr. Kaufman......oy....

    Sportswriters and weathermen, two professions where you can always be wrong and still get paid.

    It's a really big window.

    It's amazing how some guys can't even get the basics right

    It's funny how so many prognosticators feel that the Ravens defense is going to drop off, yet when they talk about the Steelers there is no mention of James Harrison's injury problems, and whether or not he will be effective, or the people that they have lost.

    BFD...these clowns. Save for Cosell, King and this place right here, the online nfl media segment gets very little ad revenue from me. Too many jackos with irrevelant opinions.
