Enough negativity - Some bright spots...

You're right, but he's looking like a talent now...instead of a liability that makes an occasional exciting hit.

I am not going to compare Kelly and AH in terms of attitude, but one thing is certain, what matters is what you do consistently, both in practice and on gameday. If the coaches can't count on you to be there for either of those, then regardless of your skills, your value to the team is decidedly diminished. At some point the potential upside no longer outweighs the diminished return. If a marginal tall WR is cut by another team, it wouldn't shock me that we bring them in and test them out to replace Kelly.

A lot of talk about BAL being a real test for the running game and pass protection, this game revealed some weak spots that need to improved on before becoming a serious contender. Praise the team for their all out hustle. Things will come together soon.

Donovan McNabb may have had a ugly-looking stat line against the Ravens, but I think that he still played well. He extended plays and converted a lot of third and longs to extend drives. He also looked much more deliberate than JC when pressured. Besides, most of his completions were longer passes because his yards per attempt was 7.9 but his completion percentage was 42.3%. Moreover, those completions often came on third and longs, which are not converted into 1st downs very frequently, especially against a good defense like the Ravens.

We should remember that even though the Ravens have a top flight D, they are woeful at cornerbacks. (Doug Deutch ) Still I thought the line really did a decent job of giving McNabb just enough time (coupled with McNabb's poise).

I like how our pre-season schedule has played out, a big win - good for initial confidence and payoff for a hard nose off-season program, the 2nd game against a solid D- 1's on 1's played competitively, and this 3rd game against a solid D including corners, and a shaky O, we should see how well our D can impose it's will on a young qb. The Arizona game should be cancelled
