Rice Needs To Step It Up

[afan]

Okay I know you fumbled twice but lately you can't even play more than 3 plays at a time. Is there something wrong with you>\/ What is worse you seem to be going down with finger tackles and are carrying the ball to loose. When you break free a lb catches you from 15 yards away. Yes Ray you are good but right now Pierce is playing better

He had flu-like symptoms, and he's a top 3 RB in the league. Put him on the FA market, and 20+ teams would line up for him.

Rice was ill and you could see it. He'll be fine next week.

For some reason or another the Ravens have not used Rice very much this year. He has fumbled a lot this year and he has been going down pretty easy for several weeks. He has not had the flu this whole season and it seems the Ravens have used him sporadically.

Pierce 13 carries for 103 yards today.

Rice 15 carries 70 yards and 2 fumbles

You think that was Rice's decision? Blame that on the coaching staff. Maybe they saw he was sick and wasn't 100%. Or maybe they are seeing something in Pierce that makes them believe he can be even better. Whatever, I doubt Rice likes not being in the game.

With all due respect, Ray Rice fumbled once this season. He rushed 257 times for 1,143 yards fumbling once. See link below.

Again - no offense intended. I'm simply saying that he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He's a gamer.

Once is a lot?
