Anybody with at least half a brain who saw the Ravens’ 2012 season realizes the obvious…

Ed Reed is done.

“Niners may have gotten fleeced for that 6th.”—–the errancy of that statement is that all the players you mentioned started with the Ravens. Q was already a major player BEFORE the Ravens. And clearly he still has great possession ability. He’ll do just fine with an UPGRADE at QB no less.

Wow if SF gets Reed that is a huge upgrade for at least 2 years. This guy is the best ballhawk Safety ever! It’s all about getting those turnovers and Reed is the best at that. With him back there the defense will be over the top great!

Kap is young and has Crabtree who is peaking and now Boldin who can catch everything along with Davis and hopefully Jenkins. I can’t wait to see these guys destroy Seattle twice this year on the way to the SB!!

FYI, the “clutch guy to bail [Flacco] out” was and is Dennis Pitta.

The rats are all leaving the sinking ship- maybe the Ravens can find some practice squad players who want to play there.

Just remember,
Ravens were 12 million under the cap when they let Q go. IF Ravens brass thought he was worth the 7 million believe me they’d have found a way.
Oz sees things we can’t – throw Harbs and Caldwell in the room and I promise you this will make the RAVENS BETTER – when its all said and done – not saying this doesn’t help the other teams – it does. Here’s what happens on the back end of the defense: Webb moves to safety where he played in college – this will save his knee – he’ll be there with Pollard – that’s young, physical and smart. At corner – the door won’t hit Sister Cary Williams in the back, believe me. They’ll plug in Chykie Brown and Corey Graham – Jimmy Smith in the nickel – nice.

PS: who is the last fa the Ravens let go who produced significantly elsewhere? Priest Holmes last decade? Where’s Heap? Mason? Adalius Thomas? Bart Scott? They’re on the scrap heap. Niners may have gotten fleeced for that 6th.

It’s all about the chemistry. I’ll be curious to see how Flacco fares without his clutch guy to bail him out.

Look at all these Monday morning GMs! So glad that Ozzie is running the show, he’s been putting on a competitive product nearly every single year in Ravens existence. Shedding older expensive players in favor of smart drafting and diamonds in the rough is the absolute key to success. Of course the silly majority of the fans will never understand how the magic happens. Keep on keeping on fellas.

“Always remember no matter what you say the last time these two teams met it was as lopsided a victory as seattle had all year!!!”——————-

Oh, you mean the game that was played the week after we had just played a cross-country nationally televised game on the east coast against a team that hadn’t lost in December since 2004 against a HOF QB captaining the most up-tempo offense in NFL history against a HOF coach and then flying back to the west coast to get fired up again to play another nationally televised game in the most slanted home field advantage stadium in the NFL??? THAT GAME?? Because it’s pretty funny…………you guys had nearly the same exact production the following week when you played the RAMS and nearly lost….at home….where less than 20 points were scored.

Keep playing that game over because even you know it was an aberration.

How exactly is signing one player at age 33 causing a team to get older? These Niner haters are something else. I’m sure the 49ers 14 draft picks will help keep them young.

Just for all you morons, this article is all speculation, he’s doing it to try the ravens hand. No source has linked him to the Super Bowl losers out on the west coast. Reeeeeeeeed ain’t going nowhere

Boy these Seattle fans talk big for a team (current and past) that hasn’t won anything (except one regular season game against the Niners).

The Ravens will be fine without Boldin and Reed, Boldin is the biggest loss but 6 mil was to much when the Ravens have bigger issues to address such as Ellerbe, now if Ellerbe,Kruger,Pitta,Williams all go elsewhere then ill be ready to say the Ravens are falling apart.

So funny! If your team doesn’t get a guy he’s too old, slow or whatever. If they do then he’s a pro bowler with a lot of gas left in the tank. Seattle, how’d it feel watching the Niners from your couch the last two weeks?

Let’s all question the only GM to put together a team which has made the playoffs 5 years in a row, three afc championships and a superbowl. The only team to have accomplished that is the Ravens and you can thank GM Ozzie and Co. for putting the best, competitive product on the field year in and year out. It’s easy to hate on success, because obviously your team has not accomplished that feat. Cheers!

Cheers to the team that is suffering from Super Bowl hang over. We warned you all knowing one , but no you are smarter than god. You and Ozzie that is. Be sure to set a place for Ravenmuscle when you eat your crow all knowing one……lmao.

First off the big difference between SF and Philly is that the Niners already have that nucleus in place..Philly did not! Second, don’t confuse SF fans for Cowboys fans…we know we haven’t won anything yet …with that said.. Boldin proved he can still play and Reed instantly commands respect…Plus he will be playing behind the best LB corp in the NFL ( no arguement is valid on that). Seattle will be very tough..especially at home…bit going into the year…SF is the NFC champs and NFC west champs until they finish ahead of SF, Seattle can’t claim nothing. good thing Harvin is going to coffee country with all his migraines…oh and the Niners don’t have speed!? they have the fastest TE in the game and LeMicheal James…come on man!

Hey five timechamps I have some news for you. Percy harvin DEMANDED a trade while A Boldin was asked to take a pay cut!! Harvin was a MVP candidate threw nine games last year. I was in my seats on the forty yard line last year when the Seahawks DESTROYED your squad in from of the world!! Seattle never lost a game by more then 7 points last season. Ya ya ya you played in two more games then seattle did last year. You know you and the rest of the San Francisco fan base took a huge breath after seattle lost in Atlanta. Russell Wilson is the future of this division and he just got his playmaker to go alongside his workhorse back. Say what you want because the time is coming for Russell and the boys to TAKE what belongs to them and there isn’t a damn thing the old niners can do but watch the show!!! Always remember no matter what you say the last time these two teams met it was as lopsided a victory as seattle had all year!!! Can’t wait to shut all you hooligans up!!!!

GO HAWKS!!!

I don’t understand why anyone would want to play for a classless organization like the 49ers and a dirty big mouth coach like Jim Harbaugh.

Don’t you Seattle fans realize that no one out side of you’re city gives a damn about your team. Its also very stupid when after every interview your QB does he says GO Hawks . It makes him sound like such a tool.

Ravens fans:

Please don’t compare this loss to the losses of Mason and Heap. We know the IQ level of people in Baltimore is lower than the national average. But you really show your ignorance when you make such a silly comparison.

eflem80 — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:09:28 +0000

Ozzie has forgotten more football than any of you clowns think you know. I remember similar over the top reactions in the past that are now long forgotten (see Adelius Thomas, Todd Heap, Willis Mcgahee, Dawn Landry, Bart Scott, Troy Smith) all these players had very productive #’s in their last seasons in Baltimore….& then promptly replaced. As for the 49ers, I’ve seen this movie before too….New York Jets….west coast edition.

But… But.. The all knowing Ravenator stated earlier that the reason Boldin was traded was to be able to sign Reed and Elderberry.. You mean the all knowing one was wrong????

By: poesports

So, the Ravens honestly think that keeping Flacco around will keep them succesful? As if every player leaving them this year isn’t more important than their success than him. That locker room without Lewis and Reed???

What are you talking about? Of course keeping a reliable durable franchise QB is going to help keep them successful. Ravens have been there done that as far as not having a QB. Who says Boldin or Reed didnt contribute to the Ravens success?? Balt. could not afford Boldin. Who knows about Reed yet? Certainly not you. Ray Lewis retired so the locker room would miss him regardless.

outdoorzen — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:05:08 +0000

Kudos to Oz making the hard decisions.
Ed can’t tackle anymore, Boldin disappears for long stretches and isn’t getting faster.
I miss them, they are two of favorite Ravens.
