BF_in_Indiana Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Well we will still have to score more then a field goal to win Lori. At least the Justin Bannan appearances may not be so painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Gotta love the morality of this one. Let's overreact to the whole Janet Jackson scenario, but when a guy pleads guilty to drug charges, let's just give him a light sentence and a couple weeks off work. Only in America. Or, is it Amurrica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 And down here in DC area they are reporting that he may not get suspended and the NFL is going to take their time reviewing it before a decision is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 It wil be interesting to see how the Ravens operate without him. I see him a lot on tv, with Bal being in Cin's division. He's a fine rb, but teams seem to run a lot of that 8-in-the-box stuff against the Ravens, and if he pops through it goes for big yards. Against the Ravens, I'd tend tend towards a more conventional def. when he's on the field, and contain. Both Boller and return man Brightful must dip their hands in Crisco - fumbles, fumbles all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cliche, but basically...take Lewis out and make Boller beat you, which is a tall task right now. He does show signs of being a really good quarterback sometimes, like vs. KC, but I wonder whether that is actually saying very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Ogden was out, Jamal suffered. With him back in the lineup, he's been able to run better. As long as those two guys are up front, they can plug in anyone else and be able to get at least decent production from them. Boller is another one of Billick's Frankenstein monsters (see Chris Redman) who doesn't look like he can handle the pros. I could be wrong, but so far, he's shown very little.

I hope his ankle isnt quite ready to play against us. If he plays he'll eat up anyone we can put on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boller looks better in his 2nd year, but he's still prone to making critical mistakes. IF the Bills show up and play for 60 minutes, The Ravens can be beaten with or without Jamal IMO.

R. Rich Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 True, Kelly. In so many ways, the TE position is hurting the Bills. On offense, they're ineffective and on defense, with our problems at safety and with a MLB not known for great coverage skills, they're a factor we have much trouble stopping.

He would've been better off being involved in a murder like another Lewis on Baltimore, in which case, there is no suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever it was, was not good - unless I am confusing teams, which is always possible. I agree - the Ravens are beatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people who flew off the handle about the Janet Jackson issue don't mind seeing commercials where the underlying message is to lie to people or steal from someone (that one with the rocks in the fridge?) or even promote promiscuity (the one where the guy says,"...I don't even know this woman's name..."). That, to me, is hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
