    The Random Thought Thread

    Just wanted to drop by to say that I've been pondering retiring from the NFL and I've decided that it is what I'll do :) I mostly joined purpleflock place for the game threads and that definitely made my fandom a lot more fun over the last few years, so I wanted to say thanks to all of you for...

    Bah, Tom Brady was never any good, the league just gifted him wins because he was married to a supermodel. ...if you think that is BS (hint: it is), then you have to realize the Swift conspiracy is an equal pile of BS

    Pickett winning the SB before Jackson clearly shows the Steelers are TeH BeZtEsT at drafting QBs and Ravens should fire everyone ..this message may contain trace amounts of sarcasm

    I think there's a joke about opera and Mozart's "the magic flute" in this, but we are obviously far too mature around here for such puns...

    If it turns out, as some of you indicate, that the organization has known this and done nothing about it, that is going to seriously damage my will to support the team. But I guess we will see what facts come out before this sordid affair is over

    I was hoping for a change at special teams coordinator, but I guess that will not happen

    End of the Bar Does Not Care, John Harbaugh

    I heard that McCusick is looking for people to argue why Harbs should be fired: @allblackraven @JO_75 @Davesta here is your chance to argue your case in front of a larger audience. Just saying....

    I was trying to find stats on the idiotic kickoff in 2024, and I could only find this somewhat interesting article https://operations.nfl.com/gameday/analytics/stats-articles/how-did-nfl-kickoff-units-approach-the-2024-dynamic-kickoff/ It lacks the most important number though which would be...

    No hurry. RBs can usually play from day 1, so no need to spend on them until you know Henry is done

    The Running Game, the Turnovers, and the Same Ol’ Ravens

    @UPennChem a silver lining for you - with this loss, Diontae Johnson doesn't get a ring! That has to bring some comfort

    Coaching Carousel 2025

    One honest question: Is there really evidence that being a good coordinator has a 1-to-1 mapping to being a good HC? To me, the two roles are very different and has different requirements of which qualities a candidate needs. That is, an HC needs mainly leadership, assembling a team and all the...

    2025 Offseason Thread

    Depends on what he'll be asking for. If I was Stanley, I'd make sure to get every last dime out of the Ravens because of the paycut last year, and there's of course some point where you have to risk him on the open market. All depends on what he wants. I might consider the transition tag on him...

    2025 Offseason Thread

    Regarding the need for OLBs: let me preface with saying that I do indeed understand that sacks is just one stat and doesn't tell the whole story. But, this team finished 2nd in sacks in the league, so I wouldn't be so sure that a big name passrusher would have made a huge difference when we can...

    The Running Game, the Turnovers, and the Same Ol’ Ravens

    Lots of small details that could have changed the outcome: the 3 turnovers, the 2*2pts conversions, the 4 dropped passes, etc. The play that I'd really want back is the Bills conversion on 3rd down on their first series (the pass to Shakir). If that doesn't happen, the Ravens have all the...

    The Running Game, the Turnovers, and the Same Ol’ Ravens

    So, with the same thing happening multiple years in a row, we need to start a Purpleflock holiday. Every time the Ravens get eliminated, BmoreBirds bans BoredMarine, so I'm thinking we need some kind of Guy Fawkes kind of celebration where we all wear BoredMarine masks, have a virtual bonfire...

    The Running Game, the Turnovers, and the Same Ol’ Ravens

    Not too upset. The team fought hard and almost overcame 0-3 turnover differential away from home in difficult conditions. Some bad plays for sure, including how Monken calls 2pt attempts, but shit happens. Almost all games this season were fun to watch, and that is my priority. Not going to stay...

    Bills might have gone for it on the last drive if the score was 1 pt less, though
