Kramerica Industries Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Was really hoping Ed Reed would end up being one of the increasingly-rarer NFL lifers. Oh well. At least the Ravens cashed in on getting the Super Bowl just before free agency ripped that team apart. Because that team, as currently constituted, is not in position to defend their division title, let alone their Super Bowl title. And, to think, with the late season tailspin they were heading into, they might've ended up being one miraculous 4th-and-29 conversion short of almost none of that happening.

ninersdd Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Don't forget Week 5 against KC. Cassel fumbled on a sneak at the goal line in that 1 point loss. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens knew this was the last year of their contender window with Ray Lewis retiring, and they were able to send off a guy whose been the face of their franchise literally since day one out on top. Not many teams have been able to do that, and if Ravens fans can't at least take solace in that, then they're even more spoiled than these Johnny-come-lately Packers fans (I was a fan in the 80s... I paid my dues ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 This could be the Bengals year to grab hold of the division. The Steelers and Ravens are falling apart nicely and the Browns are the Browns. Regardless, the AFC North will not be as strong as it has been the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Bengals are on a nice four year cycle. 2005, 2009, so 2013 makes sense.Just means they'll lose their first playoff game at Paul Brown instead of somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 We probably have because it happens every year, but when's the last time we saw this many franchise players depart their long-time team in the same year?Right now we've got Steven Jackson, Brian Urlacher, Dwight Freeney, and Ed Reed. There might be more. Only Jackson and (almost) Reed have signed deals elsewhere, but it's expected that Urlacher and Freeney will latch on somewhere as well.Sometimes the NFL sure is sad.

BigEd76 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Since this place loves uniforms, here's an interesting quote from Chip Kelly at the NFL coaches breakfast in Arizona yesterday:On whether he’ll miss the Oregon uniforms: "Yeah, I think one thing about the uniforms is the science behind them. They are lighter, they’re faster, they wisk away sweat better. That part was always very intriguing to me."So there you go. 38 combinations.....meh. But the way the sweat gets off them? Awesome!

MellowTheMyth Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm coping with the reality, but truly, it was inevitable, but it's just happening all so fast that it's crazy. No matter what happens in this season coming up, I'm sticking with this team. I'm just glad that the end of the last season went the way it did, now its time to reload.

tBBP Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 On the heels of that, looks like Bernard Pollard (who is now officially a journeyman; from Kansas City to Houston to Baltimore-did I miss a team?) is all set to join the Titans.Who's next? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen a Super Bowl-winning team become so dismantled so fast...particularly on defense. With Pollard now gone, I think that's what, five defensive starters gone now? Lewis, Reed, Ellerbe, Cary Williams, and now Pollard. And actually, didn't another of their defensive players just sign with Cleveland here recently? With Q (Boldin) gone, that's seven quality contributors—and a good bulk of their "tough guys"—gone. Looks like it's up to either Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata (provided neither gets hurt again) to pick up the flag now. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Kruger was the guy that signed with Cleveland. Webb is coming back from an injury, so that will help the Ravens on D. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
