That doesn;t make any sense. Ryan couldn't have thought Boldin was not any good anymore did he? I mean after the 3rd catch why didn't he switch them? hmmmm

Everyone is talking as though he was great last night, but he was guarded by a rookie the entire game.

Boldin is great every game. No matter who is covering him. Just because he doesn't play for Arizona anymore doesn't mean he's lost his skills.

For God's sake the guy had 101 receptions for 1,377 yards and 8 TDs including one of 71 yards playing with Jeff Blake and Josh McCown at QB and really no other offensive threat on the entire team.

Boldin is the mu-ffing man, the color of his uniform doesn't change FACTS.

I don't think the Jets wanted to expose Revis' timing and conditioning flaws as a result of his 36 day holdout. Q would have lit him up too...

Stop reading into my statement. I'm not saying he is bad, I'm just saying people need to not overreact to his game last night because of the circumstances of the game. I couldn't play in the NFL, but I would look like I should against five-year olds. I'd be running them all over. The problem with Boldin is his durability, not how he plays when healthy.

But that has nothing to do with your post which indicated that you didn't think his game last night was that great because he was covered by a rookie.

Look most of the players we lost this off season did well yesterday. It doesn't hurt us any to acknowledge it. I mean they're not going to take our win over the Rams away from us because the people in Miami are excited about what a good game Dansby had Sunday.

No, I don't think his game was "great." He may be great, but how can you know based upon yesterday's game. A good player could have had similar results against a rookie. That is the bottom line of my posts.

The only high-profile player that the Cards lost that I'm happy they lost is Rolle.

Mark Clayton and Derrick Mason had 3 games total last year with over 100 yards receiving. Q does it in his first game as a Raven and against one of the best defenses in the NFL last season. That's great imo.

Looked to me like Revis only played on one half of the field.

They showed highlights of Revis on Mason and Boldin last night and he was all over both of them, I don't think he is that far off of his 2009 form. Rex played it safe with Revis and it bit him in the ass.

I agree. From what I can see, Revis only plays the left corner position regardless of who lines up across. I don't know why this is. You would think that teams would just put thier worst WR on that side and put thier best on the opposite side of Revis (which is basically what Baltimore did).
