    Well, it's been a rough season so far, and the latest loss resulted in yet another coach being fired. Since the offense has been anemic for most of the season, it was high time to give Bill Lazor the ax. Zac Taylor will take over play calling duties, and Ryan Tannehill will have the handcuffs taken off and be given much more freedom. Tannehill will now also play a major part in the game planning. I'm excited to see how it plays out over the course of these final 5 games, and I'm confident all parties involved will make damn sure to start running the ball more. It's time to let Lamar Miller and Jay Ajayi out of their cages.

    The other interesting part of this game will be seeing some rookies getting legit playing time. DeVante Parker, Jordan Phillips, and my main man Bobby McCain will all be starting. Jay Ajayi will get his fair share of touches as well. A majority of this rookie class has played some solid football when given the opportunity, so it'll be fun to see them all on the field consistently.

    Much like the Texans before we played them, the Ravens are a team that has owned us. I would like to see us do the same thing to the Ravens that we did to the Texans on our home field back at the end of October. Whoop them up and down the field and get some payback.

    Let's go Dolphins!!!

    Miami will win this game. Because I bet on the Ravens straight up. Will this be the first time Miami beats the Ravens since the infamous 2007 walk-off Camarillo TD to prevent the winless season? I think it might. I bet on the Ravens in that game too. You can all thank me later. I love jinxing the Dolphins into victory.

    kind of numb right now...not sure whats happening, know that I want to keep Campbell, really want to believe that he's the one, I'm willing to sacrifice some for the future, but we gotta win 4 of the next 5 and be very competitive against the giants and pats, I would think, for him to have a chance.

    should be interesting to watch Parkers style of play mesh with ryans stye of game.

    Mccain gets the start because Campbell wants guys who will beat their mother at ping pong on the field.. I Dont blame him..competitive spirit and some pride seems to of been missing around here for years..

    Ryan needs to understand the phrase '' do everything it takes to win''....I know what it means...he hasn't figured it out yet..lets hope we signs of it.

    ajayi and miller..we should be able to devise a gameplan around those two catching the football...at the same time..let them move around.

    The correlations between this game and the Texans are eerily similar...I'm glad you caught it.

    And yes, this draft could be the best yet.

    Our LBer's are healthy and Bobby McCain gets his first real shot at the boundary. Phillips/Suh combo get their full time debut. Parker gets the lion's share of snaps. Ajayi and Miller should be amped upon Lazor's departure. Tannehill unleashed...

    Everything I've seen online has the Ravens winning big. Pointing to the fact that they've never lost by more than 8 points while being decimated by injuries.

    Should be a fun game to watch. A lot of new faces and seemingly no reason to fix the game. Best of all...

    No Tannehill with Lazor beams attached to his frickin' head!

    Man, I love this kid. Love his fire and passion. Love his grit and competitiveness. I'm a believer that players that display that kind of confidence and energy are contagious. Everyone can feed off a guy like that.

    Just read we benched Walt Aikens... Our chances just got better. Man, was he a waste of space.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how the young guys play, especially DeVante Parker and Jordan Phillips.

    Yeah this is a good week to check out the young pieces we have going forward. Should win this one. You know Campbell needs to show something in these last few games. Hoping to win by a TD or more. The Ravens are just terrible and without most of their best players due to injury.

    Man, this just sucks....watching NFL Network and they're discussing all the teams and games that have playoff implications and here we are , with 5 games to go we're not even considered to be in the hunt. I'm just so sick of being "also rans" year after year. I'm really hoping we finish strong at least to have something positive to go on. We need stability big time and if Thill and Campbell are the answers going forward then prove it .I'm not concerned with draft order right now, just win some damn games consistently.

    Agreed. It's been a while since we finished the season strong. It would be nice to run the table or at least win 4, if only to instill some optimism for next season.

    You might be right, in fact I bet every Tannehill backer ( like myself ), is not 100% positive that he in fact IS the long term answer. But it does surprise me that the Tannehill haters are 100% certain he will never be the answer. Personally, I'll reserve my final judgement until (if/when) he has the right pieces around him.

    time for parker to step up and show us what he is made of..

    a talent like his can and should take over a game, a game like this against an inferior opponent

    Losing out is in our best interest of our team long term, nobody on this coaching staff is coming back next year anyway, I'm not into winning meaningless games so you can "feel good about your team" lol

    if it wasn't for campbell I would agree..if he can win these games it might mean that he's worth doubling down on.

    i think the defense will hold the ravens to field goals so ryan will have to score a couple tds to win.

    How will we blame Tannehill for today's loss? This will be a fun 40-50 page read of it's Tannehill's fault.

    If he plays like he has been, then it's warranted. He's not the only issue though. Lots of problems with the biggest being that we were and are the worst coached team in the NFL. It's been a clinic to how important coaching is in this league.

    Let's go 9-7 and make the playoffs. Eff it..(says that knowing that I'll be back to I hate this team at the first sign of adversity and despair, haha).

    Schaub plays well against us historically. None of their WRs should scare us, though.

    I agree that 20 points should do it.

    Have a hunch the offense comes out and plays its second best game of the year...dark cloud gone, bad defense, motivation to prove Bill was an issue.

    fitzpatrick played very well against us last week..but he moves around pretty well..shaub does not..I think our defense holds them to 6 to 13 points tops.
     
  31. im debating kf i even want to go to the bar so i can see this game. i do want to see tanny play without lazor but im so tired of wstching the crap performances that have become the norm for this team.

    ughh im so frustrated

    the defense sucks, the special teams sucks, the coaches suck, the offense sucks, tannehill sucks too. but it's easier to blame just tannehill instead of admitting this team is just full of suck.
