Good afternoon, folks. Beautiful day here in Western NY. Wind could be a factor but Flacco usually plays well in such conditions anyway. Let me know if you have any questions/comments -
If you haven't seen it by now, RB Ray Rice and DE Chris Canty are active. WR Deonte Thompson and DT Brandon Williams will also make their 2013 regular season debuts. The following players are inactive: WR Jacoby Jones, S Jeromy Miles, LB Arthur Brown, NT Terrence Cody, G/T Jah Reid, C Ryan Jensen and WR Brandon Stokley.

On defense, I think the Ravens biggest challenge is going to be dealing with the Bills' speed. Manuel at quarterback, Stevie Johnson on the outside, Spiller and Jackson at running back. They have some guys that are tough in open space. It's going to be really important again for the Ravens to stop the run first and make Manuel beat them with his arm. I'm not sure he can at this stage of his career. If the Ravens make the Bills one dimensional like they did with Texans and Browns, it's hard to not see them improving to 3-1

Sure, I think they'll cause some problems. They are both fast, athletic and talented guys. But as long as the Ravens execute and play team defense, they should be able to keep them contained. The Bills will make some plays but the Ravens need to limit the big plays. Give them the underneath stuff, stop the run and don't allow Spiller or Jackson to break a long one. In that case, they should be fine
-
with so much of the bills secondary injured, do you think flacco will finally post elite passing numbers?
-
Would love to hear from those 6 people who voted for the Bills - why? -
-
Probably because it's both Gene Simmons and in London, FaninVa.

Where is our f'in game??? Why am I being forced to listen to a hideous-looking, off-key Gene Simmons!!!

The DirecTV channel has it too. I think they're showing it all over on CBS.

Yep. I thought this was why we cast off the colonial yoke in the 1770s, but what do I know?

Hey NFL management -- stop trying to shove down our throats how much the UK and Europe want the NFL. THEY DO NOT.

they must have delayed the kickoff at all other games so they could have there little marketing moment
