    We lost this game and playoff hopes in April.

    When marv thought a Safety at #8 would be better than a BIG stud DT. BTW the Ravens D is awsome and they have a first round bye. Who did they take again? Hummm.....

    The reason they are nasty on defense isn't because of Ngata. Sure, he's helped, but you can't pin the fact that they are going to have a bye on the fact that they took a big DT. Stop making conclusory arguments.

      Its fact. What were they rated last year compared to this year? Ask ray lewis if I am off base.

      Marv ****ed up, plain and simple

        Fact isn't your opinion. You have a tendency to equate your opinion to a "fact." It simply doesn't work that way.

        Their defense has been good for a long time, but the fact that Adalius Thomas has blossomed into a Pro Bowler has more to do with their defense being nasty than Ngata does. That's my opinion, so it must be fact.

          I was a HUGE fan of Ngata prior to the draft, would have loved that pickup.

          However I agree with Dicknoze69, the linebacking corps in Baltimore (unlike ours) is just frightening and imo the far bigger difference. Even without Ngata thats still a playoff team.

            It wasn't last year and that was Ray lewis gripe. They get ngata and the D is back. Why? BIG DT's keep guys off of your LB's so they can do their jobs.

              Its fact when its FACT. FACT they didn't do **** last year. FACT they got a huge DT to keep guards off of those LB's and they have a first round bye.

                Haha it's also a fact that they upgraded from Kyle Boller to Steve McNair. That alone puts them into the playoffs. It's also a fact that Thomas has become a monster (you could argue Ngata greatly helps here, but Thomas is most effective in coverage; it's still a chicken-and-egg argument). Samari Rolle has played much better, as has McAlister. The lay Baltimore's success and Buffalo's failure to stop the run on one pick is foolish. There are many more variables than that.

                It also helps that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed played a full season this year.

                Sorry, apparently I forgot that you decide what is fact and how it applies to the relevant situation.

                  I'm happy with the Whitner pick...coupled with Simpson we have a real bright future at both safety positions.

                          Hey I didn't know if you noticed but back in April this team was rebuilding. We were trying to shore up some important positions back then and that's why we got who we got in the draft. To say that we gave up on the playoffs in April when we really weren't shooting for them then is pretty stupid.

                              Good job. Hopefully it'll help ICE learn football.


                              Tell ICE also that not even BB had this kind of success in his first year. That it takes more than the first year of rebuild to fill up the holes.

                              He's just a little pissed that his Panthers suck this year and is looking to blame that on MArv as well.

                              Someday, ICE will really learn how to play football. I won't hold my breath , though.
