Ravens play away due to Orioloes have home stadium, if they get Doomervil start with a revenge game

 

Whether or not Broncos get Freney they have an ex colt named Peyton

 

Will sunday / monday night be Vs Colts

 

or theres always a Manning bowl with Giants  ( it was a sunday or Monday night game to start 4 years ago when last they met ))

 

& lets not forget DEnver with Welker Vs Pats is also a good show but better to let Welker get settled and play mid season as usual between a Peyton Team & the Pats

No they are going to play on the road. Likely Broncos, but not necessarily a bad thing for Broncos since this group of Ravens will be much worse.

Yep, would be a guaranteed first win for the Broncos if it does happen.

But still prefer to have Ravens VS. Steelers. I think Ravens will collapse in 2013 and hope when they are playing Broncos they already have nothing to play for. To open the season they might still have some pride and could generate some noise.

I think like 4 years Back its a Manning bowl in NY for Broncos

 

Ravens choices are  u r right Steelers best rivalry then 

 

what happens if Orioles are 20 games out of first though then can ravens play at home, but can only make a switch if its Vs an afc west opponent

 

Pittsburgh Steelers

Cleveland Browns

Cincinnati Bengals

Buffalo Bills

Miami Dolphins

Chicago Bears

Detroit Lions

Denver Broncos

 

Broncos are the only appealing game. Possibly the AFCN rival Steelers could be it though.

I wouldn't be opposed to that either. Those are always fun to watch, though it'll definitely be different with Reed/Lewis out of the line up.

I heard that the ravens are offering money to the baseball team to play an afternoon game that day so they can still have the home opener and raise the banner. If that happens, it is for sure Ravens/Pats.

 

They tried that and the Os rejected it.  That's why it's been confirmed they won't open up at home.

Personally, I think the Os are being unreasonable.  Have the game earlier, or do a double header.  Teams do double headers all the time when there's rain or something like that. And it's not like there isn't ample time for them to plan the doubleheader....the baseball season hasn't even started yet.  162  baseball games....only 1 season opener.

I completely agree. I mean how many times does your team win the SB? It is tradition to open up at home and raise the banner. That is lousy. Like you said 162 games, 81 at home, vs. 16 games, 8 at home. That is a shame.

I could see them using the Lions as well.  High power offense that is not far removed from the playoffs.  Same with the Bears, major media market with a new coach. Bengals and Steelers are possible from a divisional rival stand point.  I would agree Broncos Ravens is probably the most attractive though but I had also read earlier this off-season that NBC had tagged Broncos/Giants to open SNF but I don't think that has ever been made official.

Not the Orioles fault. There we too many parking and traffic headaches to make it unfeasible. You would also have to get the White Sox to agree to play earlier. As a fan of both, naturally I'd like to see the doubleheader, but the NFL could have changed the game to Wednesday. They used the Rosh Hashanah excuse, but I don't think they wanted to move their Thursday night game to Wednesday. Also, Harbaugh doesn't mind going on the road, as he would get a 10 day break at the opening. It just didn't work out. All I care is that they won the Super Bowl. They will have plenty of time to hang the banner.

Ravens vs Bills or Ravens vs Dolphins will be the Ravens road game.

 

But if it were me, I'd just ask the Ravens to play at home Wednesday night like the Giants did because President Obama had a speech on Thursday night.

 

Jewish holiday. They called that a non starter (which is weird, because the NFL plays games on so-called American and Christian holidays, but whatever).

 

I don't know why they're sending them on the road, though. Just make them the Sunday night game, that way the city and the fans get the home opener in primetime in Week 1. Maybe I'm missing something...

John Harbaugh refused to play on Sunday since he wanted his team to have a long week after the first game. By law NFL cannot play games on other weekdays and Saturday due to confilict with college games.

 

Anyway it is just a decade of "tradition" to have the defending champ starte the season at home. Not a huge deal though.

That's a good reason. Those extra three days kind of turn into a mini bye week. But then the Ravens can't really play the victim here. Sunday night is a viable option if you want your city to get a primetime home opener.

considering their team is going to be weak this season, opening on the road at Denver could give them good excuse for losing. If they open the season at home and lose to the Pats it could hurt even more.

    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
    • The kid chose not to slide to protect himself and was in a really awkward position when he did get a good NFL wallop. It’s absolutely brainless to do that after getting knocked out of games and the season.   Maybe he needs to sit on the bench for another season. Let him play  play play, what, for another game or two until the next stupid injury?  He still has a lot to learn and it looks like to me we are rushing an inexperienced kid into something he isn't quite prepared for.   AR seems humble, maybe a bit more humility regarding a possible Superman complex would serve him and the Colts very well long term.  What AR IS in years 4 and beyond is what Wise Colts fans should be concerned about. And yes, like me, many here are getting old enough we Want It Now! It's an unreasonable expectation for a kid that can't throw an out that isn't a mile high, and hasn't the sense of when and how to protect himself. 
    • I don’t listen to games anymore because I don’t work on Sundays anymore. But man sometimes listening to the game is better than watching it. Kinda miss Matt Taylor getting all pumped..  I-N-D-Y lol
