The Random Thought Thread

I was watching Edgar's Youtube on Bozeman and Linderbaum at Center. Edgar mentioned that Bozeman looked good but damn can Linderbaum move and get to the next block level. Very impressed. I don't know who Edgar is but man he puts up some very high quality analysis of the Ravens schemes.

I'm also 31 but Heap will always have a special place in my heart lol, but I can see why folks would say Mark

Andrews is the better player

Fun fact: post NFL merge, the ravens actually have the best win % of any team. We are lucky!

On top of that- if the Texans lose 7 more games then us this year (highly likely) we will have the least total losses ever.

Sometimes we gotta remind ourselves how lucky being a ravens fan is

Love Pitta, shame about his hip, would have been a really great player if he could stay healthy.

If you see my username, believe it or not I liked him a tiny bit too…
First nfl player I ever met and I played te at that time

I’m 30 and been watching the ravens since Kyle boller days, I saw heap play and I don’t think he had a fraction of the skill and mental acuity that andrews has, and he’s also not nearly the athlete or competitor he is.

Heap did have incredible hands, toughness at the catch point, and highpoint ability, I’d argue andrews has all the same, though heap is clearly the bigger bull between the two, I think andrews is just superior in every other way.

Same.. i actually remember the ravens winning that first SB and that next yr, the trash ass bucs won and people were going crazy.:. It was the first time college kids werent scared to walk through our apartments lol

I think Ravens are more lucky to have us as fans lol

Just wait for the sad day when we are noncompetitive for a stretch. We had 3 straight years of .500 or less and our stadium couldn’t fill seats.

I’m a Baltimore native, I’m pretty sure the majority of our fanbase is no more loyal than any other, we haven’t been tested, and I also know from listening to 105.7 callers that our local fanbase isn’t rational at all.

A quarter of our fans would jump ship if Lamar was traded, a quarter of them would stop watching if we fell into a few years of disarray.

That said, I’d be shocked if any stadium had a better gameday experience, the bank has an incredible atmosphere, before during and after games, and a lot of that is due to the fans, they do it big.

Come on, no love for Shannon Sharp?

Man for some reason, being under the freeways and in that old partially abandoned industrial area where most of the tailgate parking is, it’s just got a certain charm to it, and the ravens have an incredible team of people putting together gameday for the fans because half of downtown Baltimore is dedicated to hosting these games and there is just so much purple shit from horseshoe casino to Pratt street, and the super fans out there that make tailgating a lifestyle, they make it a great event too, every time I’ve went for pregame I get offered so much from these people, from food to beers to cornhole games. I fucking miss it lol.

Me and my wife had a $600 stubhub coupon from a canceled game that we were gonna see in Pitt, we were gonna use it on the home game this year, but we decided to take the cash refund instead, feelsbadman.
