Can we all finally agree

We need major help on our O-line? I have said it many times and I'll say it again our O-line is not gonna get it done. Branden Albert is not a LT he's a guard, lilja is too small wiegman and waters are too old. We look good against small d-lines like the Titans but against real pass rushers like the Colts and Raiders we look horrible and can't get any holes open and we can't protect our QB. We honestly have gotten lucky this year in not facing many teams that have great pass rushers but when we do we look bad. This is should be our number one priority in the draft, our defense is good, special teams good, our rb's excellent and if we could build our line and get another good WR we would have an excellent passing game.

I really believe they took thier foot off the gas this game. I believe that there are areas that need improvement, but I see the WHOLE team playing on all gears come the playoffs.

I love the optimism!!!!

Maybe we should just make Gilberry a convert to outside linebacker opposite Hali.

that's risky, just because Hali had was a booming success it doesn't mean Gilberry will have the same luck

Sorry- forgot the "kidding" font.

Gilberry is good, but needs to stay as a DE for passing situations.

Why not give it a try many people said Hali would not cut it as a OLB.

We seriously tanked this game and I'm very disappointed with the loss, but I can't find it in myself to be disappointed with the season as a whole.

...And yes, I agree; we need to seriously upgrade the o-line.

I don't think anyone would have bet money that we would be going to the playoffs. We did way better then I or anyone I know thought, but that said I was very disappointed in todays performance

You and me both; Cassel looked human today because he had no time to survey field and deliver the ball IMO. I thought the interceptions were very uncharacteristic of him.

There is no doubt the Ravens are going to be watching this game and they will come out trying to get pressure on Cassel.

For once I am in agreement with Fig. This offensive line really has not faced a lot of great defensive lines this season, but they will be facing one next week.

The team better show up, or it will be a long day.
