Ben and his receivers just never seem to be on the same page like that. If they were this offense would be unstoppable with how easily Wallace and Brown can get a step on guys. We hear a lot from the media about Ben throwing a good deep ball, but I've never seen it. I think his intermediate throws are far and away his bread and butter.

Ben is not a good deep ball thrower. It is much more than having a strong arm which Ben has in spades. That is why Haley may be the best thing that ever happened to Ben allowing him to focus on short and mid range passes versus just chucking the ball deep. Hopefully Ben will relaize that.

I don't think they are as bad as we saw last night, but I also see an 8-8 season ahead of them

Then they will have to work twice as hard to evaporate back to sucking, which is a real good bet.

Deal with straw man arguments much? I never said to crown sh-t.

For all the fear of the Ravens, lets let the season play out some and then see what happens if injuries start hitting them. Remember how they destroyed us in game #1 last year and laid an egg in Game #2? It's a long season. They are good but not unbeatable.

Umm, I'm not sure what "laying an egg" means to you, but if I recall correctly, they beat us in game 2 as well. That pretty much is not "laying an egg" even thought the game was much closer. Flacco beat us in the final minute. I am not waving a white flag, by any means, but they sure looked strong and we sure didn't.

Reeelaaaxxxx. He was referring to Week 2 against the Titans, when they lost 26-13.
