Ask Ray what his all-time home record was against Kordell Stewart? That’s right Ray, you lost them all — 0 for 5.

—————
Really man? Thats your argument? Who is something called Kordell Stewart and when was he inducted into Canton? Dont be ridiculous!!! And yes I’m aware of who slash is.

Hey, ‘Tallguyme’…

You wrote this…

“the second “s” in Lewis’s is superfluous and grammatically incorrect.”

Please, you ditz, don’t correct others unless you know what you are doing. Check the first word of your sentence. Should not the ‘T’ be capitalized?????

It’s the Shift key, dunce. Hmmm… I like ‘moron’, also.

We all make minor mistakes at times. Who are you to correct others when you have no clue how to punctuate… Sorry, that is a three syllable word!

I’m dreading the day when I see this dude screaming at me through the tv. Seriously, do a bunch of grown ass men really need to be yelled at before kickoff to motivate them? That routine got old real fast, shut up and play

That means each guy is only playing at 90% his max when Ray isn’t in there. Explains a lot about the last 6 weeks.

You’re taking the numbers too literal and trying to make a joke. If he inspires every man play a little harder the impact is greater than his one single body being in at MLB. THAT is why Ray is playing and why Ray announced his retirement already.

Ray will be on the field for emotion and motivation not his physical play. If he makes each man play 10% better that’s one extra player on defense on the field.

Football is a team sport, not an individual sport. Teams are inspired with leaders. Ray will be on the field for emotion and motivation not his physical play. If he makes each man play 10% better that’s one extra player on defense on the field.

missing 10 games is not falling off ? After the injury he may play more cautiously and if he doesn’t he risks tearing it again. The Colts should run right at him all game and watch the tiny bit of energy he has left drain out by half time and he’ll be reduced to jumping on piles. Even with Ray in the game Flacco will choke the life out of the Ravens in glorious style and lose.

Ray certainly isn’t the player he once was physically. The speed that he was known for doesn’t show up as much as did. That said, he has been off for 10 games so I would have to think his legs and body other than the arm injury are fresh. Besides, the real boost as Jaws said is going to be emotionally and mentally for his team. You don’t think that the 52 other guys on the team are going to be ready to at least win this game for Ray? Think again Colts fans. Much respect to what they’ve done this year, always liked Pagano and I have been very impressed by Luck. The Ravens’ defense was better than most think down the stretch (6th best in yardage over the final 6 games), at least better than the Colts’, it will be tough sledding for Indy on Sunay.

The number 1 defense in the league isn’t even in the playoffs. The great Pittsburgh Steelers. So whoever wins the super bowl this year should have an asterisk next to their team name. Becase the best, classiest and most storied franchise…the Steelers obviously…aren’t even in the playoffs. Oh and also ratbirds will be 1 and done! Bon voyage!

What does Ron Jaworski know? This is Ray freaking Lewis.

Anyone who thinks one of the greatest players to ever play is going down in a whimper is kidding themselves.

Ray could have played two weeks ago but decided to save all his juice for the playoffs. I am happy he didn’t play against the Skins because that’s my team. But I have all the respect in the world for Ray Ray. Look out Luck.

People keep saying he isn’t the same player which isn’t really an insult when you look at what he was. He had 57 tackles after 6 games. Not bad. Much better than most of the starting MLBs in the NFL.

After 17 years most of us have learned the hard way never to underestimate and disrespect this man.

Clearly some of us haven’t learned the lesson.

Ray Lewis is a “once in a lifetime” player that everybody will truly miss when he retires. He will be the Muhammad Ali of football.

One and done this weekend. Even Ray Ray knows this team ain’t winning anything anytime soon.

On the plus side, you Ravens fans will finally see an elite quarterback coming in to Baltimore.

I don’t know what’s worse this article or some of the trolls posting on it? Like the other guy said; Ray Lewis is the General, and that D will play much better with him out there! Every “true” Ravens fan knows he’s lost a step. It’s impossible for a man to play a such a dominating level for so long, especially when they set the bar so high (and reinvented) the Linebacker position. But he can still play and has the smarts and leadership abilities to be effective.

No other Linebacker in the history of the NFL possess all the intangible qualities and dominating talent for so long, as this man. There will never be another player who does so much for his team, city, and league for as long as Ray Lewis did. Other than LT, I’d say maybe the best defensive player ever! Falsely accused of murder, yet still guilty in the minds of bitter, narrow minded haters.

His expierence will mean a lot if a Raven knifes someone in the pile. He will know exactly what to do.

I am not a Ravens fan but I have the utmost respect for Ray Lewis and I think he will bring the heat on Sunday against the Colts, he is still one of the beset linebackers in the NFL. People said London Fletcher was old and should retire and he is having one of his best seasons of his career. I’ll take a veteran over a young player any day.

If I was the Colts I’d run and throw right at Ray Lewis. He’s an all time great and an obvious first ballot hall of famer but right now Ray Lewis isn’t a very good football player.

Emotional lifts are nice but they can’t last.

@1buckeye76 – who really cares?

For all the raven doubters, you will be eating your words once again. They may not get past round two, but they are not losing to the dolts in the last home game of Ray’s career. Lucks day is coming, but it isn’t this Sunday!

Sure, Ray-Ray’s production has dropped off at age 37. But he’s still above average and his leadership is second to none.

But don’t forget, last year Ray Lewis started in the Pro-Bowl and in 2010 he was second-team All-Pro.

There’s no denying it, Ray was/is far more than a figurehead.

It will be nice for the Baltimore fans, who most of which I respect, to get to see Ray win one more last game at home. I think being on the field will be the difference in the game for the Ravens this weekend.

Lewis had 28 tackles 1ff and 1 sack in 2 games. He was top 5 in tackles when he got hurt. He never fell off period.
