Default Ravens offense most inept of all time??

I think they may be worse than Oakland's offense last year.

No question.

Without a strong D, Baltimore is a joke. Billick has allowed the Offensive line to age, and the injuires to the Raven secondary have killed this team this year. Why Boller is still there (while allowing players like Derek Anderson to leave) is a mystery to many.

Do you think Billick comes back next year or do think he gets fired?

I had the Bengals scoring at least 21 but I didn't think it would be by 7 FG's.

Worst defense against the worst offense. Somethings gotta give. I guess the defense will prevail.

That is exactly what I predicted in another thread. I just have seen to many idiotic things from the Ravens offense this season.

It should be one of those "mutual" decisions that he leaves. It's time for a change. He's been great for the franchise, and still has what it takes, but after a while things get stale in the same place.

He's definately gone. They gave him a million chances to fix the offense because of the superbowl win but enough is enough. The last two weeks (coming off a bye no less) we've hit bottom.

Billick has wooed the Raven's owner and probably has this year and the next to turn things around regardless of how stale the offense is.....

With Boller starting this weekend against former Raven Derek Anderson, Billick should hear the boos loud and clear if Baltimore can't score.

Billick has made his bed with Kyle Boller, and, with the kid feeling the pressure this weekend, CLE is a decent value at -3.

Love Cleveland at -3. I should have jumped on the 2.5 yesterday, but I'm not big on early week bets. To many crazy things can happen during the week.

Between them and San Fran for sure. They played and it was 9-7 earlier this year with Ravens on top.

If you're a believer in DVOA, San Fran's is much worse. And actually, San Frans is one of the most inept of all time.

Let's not forget the Tampa Bucs of 0-14 fame (or infamy) under John McKay when asked about his teams execution said, "I'm in favor of it!"

I am on the Browns too. I hate betting on teams with bad D, but man, the Raven's O is horrid. Give the fact that their D isn't great against the pass, and I think the browns will win. However, it is a divisional game, and both teams will play their hardest. GL
