Lost all respect for Reed with that excuse…

…if he’s gonna be a HOF player, he should show some class and just say he misread the play and was beat…

No Class

What kind of idiot NFL player would not be getting yearly flu shots?

Same ravens, different year. defebse plays great for a while, but eventually gives up because they are sick if being sabotaged by their own offense.

Even special teams played great. But the offense, and really.. The quarterback… Have to change. Harbaugh can go too for all I care. He hasn’t done anything Billick didn’t do. And he inherited a while lot of talent from Billick.

Sounds like Ed Reed is about to tell us stories about how he walked to school uphill for 2 miles both ways without shoes.

You have to be at the top of the moutain to have arows slung at you. You don’t see TP doing complaining. Raven Nation?….are you kidding me, they would be lucky to host a small town in the mid west.

- You need to win a trophy for the arrows to penetrate the shield. Ravens and Bengals 10+ yrs and counting there. Even the AFC crown counts, still no SB trips.

- Where is Ozzy in this debacle?……you mean they can’t sit Cam down and say why are we not running this?…Caldwell is total unknown, Sunday was not encouraging. The great Ozz may have to blow up the whole thing.

Don’t worry Ed you can always get a job as a hurdle on a track/field squad. Requires little or no motion, just a little incidental contact.

Come on Ed, we all know the real reason is that you didn’t eat your Wheaties yesterday morning.

I don’t see the point in making excuses — I give more credit to Moreno for leaping over a guy than to Reed for missing him. That happens once in every 2,000 carries.

Tough loss but Dener is no slouch. Ratbirds would have had to play their best of the season for the win.

The Bungles are the only team in the divison that is winning lately.

Pretty scary

I really hope Ed retires next year. He can’t tackle anymore, and the excuses are getting old. If you had the flu, you should’ve sat out.. you certainly didn’t help an overall miserable team performance.

this isn’t the first time someone has jumped over Ed Reed this season. I doubt he had the flu those times.

I think both the ravens and my steelers are going to be in for a surprise when the Bengels take the division.

Reed is slowly becoming a whiny bitter old man. All those years of carrying your team without any help from the offense will do that to you.

Flu = Old Age

Moreno schooled the future HOF to the point he was so embarred he has to lie.

Reed has been a great player and is a first ballot HOFer but damn Ed you got outplayed take it like a man.

Not sure this Raven’s team is as good as they think they are. First off, your quarterback is a whiner who clearly shouldn’t be complaining about being considered “elite” after that miserable performance.

It sounds like the rest of the team considers themselves in the same class. Harbaugh needed to have a closed door meeting with his team during the bye week to “work some things out”. Then in the midst of a two game losing streak to Division and Regional rivals, you offer up Cam Cameron on the alter.

Their must be some locker room dissention going on, and it sounds like the media will do its best to stoke that controversey…hopefully

Steelersownyou, you are the definition of a troll. Ed, quit making excuses, your play yesterday was embarassing. It’s been weeks since your name has been called other than a for a poor tackling effort.

And to further my point, how many times this season has Reed been hurdled?

Brent Celek hurdled him, and he weighs 265lbs. Reed keeps going in for these helmet down spear hits, and he keeps getting hurdled.

That makes at least 4 that I can count. Ravens fans, do you count? Or just let Reed slide for being good in the past like Eagles fans did with Dawkins?

Williams is a bum. So is Boldin. Cheap shots on my boys Decker and Harris. Both go owned yesterday and couldnt take it like a MAN

By: eaglesw00t

eaglesw00t — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:12:56 +0000

Wow…another excuse.

You may be one of the best safeties ever, but the other best safeties ever never ever made excuses. They owned up to their mistakes and took it on the chin.

Lott, Atwater, Polamalu, Dawkins, Sharper…all men among men that would sack up and admit what they did wrong.

I understand you may have been ill. Im sorry to hear that, and I appreciate that you were even playing with the flu. But dont make excuses. How many times this season have we heard from players that they didnt lose, they beat themselves? Ive heard more excuses this season than any in the last 30 than I recall as an adult.

“I just kind of watched him jump over me.”

Suprised you were able to do that with your eyes closed. We all saw the play genius.

Steelers will beat the Bengals and browns to enter the playoffsstrong! The ratbirds are an excuse making , sorry team that should never make the playoffs. They will be 1 and done. Steelers meanwhile will shock the world.. so it is written so it shall come to pass!! Steelers are playing this beautifully. Play possum and then strike in the playoffs! Simply masterful!!!!

Ed Reed is very clever – he knows people won’t believe that the dog ate his game film so he sticks with the stomach flu story…
