I don’t have much too say other than I feel like I wasted a nice afternoon watching that game.
Here are some quick thoughts:
- Was it impossible to make adjustments that would have involved covering Brent Celek? I respect the guy, but isn’t a 157 yards a little much. He isn’t that good. Dean Pees needed to do something to slow this guy down. I can’t imagine what Gronk is going to do next week.
- Why, oh why did Terrell Suggs have to play basketball that day? IF YOU INSIST ON ONLY RUSHING 3 GUYS, THEN BE DAMN SURE YO HAVE SOMEONE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING PRESSURE.
- Joe Flacco looked “elite” for a quarter, then looked like his old self for the remainder of the game. I don’t understand why the Ravens were not able to muster any offense in the 3rd quarter. The game wouldn’t have been close if not for some determined play by Ray Rice.
- Justin Tucker kicks ass!
- I cannot imagine how poorly Bryant McKinnie must have played in the preseason. The line is a wreck, and it starts with having Oher on the left. KO and Harewood are young and inexperienced. It would be nice to hace solid anchors on the end.
- The Ravens are going to have to get their shit together for the Patriots. Otherwise, the fans can stop paying attention to them and instead focus on the Orioles.
Harbaugh, Flacco… Flacco, Harbaugh….
You homer fans have got to get off this shit about Flacco being an elite QB. You all were praising Flacco last week, talking about him calling the plays and all… Flacco ain’t nothing but an average QB… And this ain’t no fan pissed that the Ravens lost and Flacco played bad. Since Flacco has came to Baltimore I’ve been saying he is nothing special and I’ve been right.
Tired of hearing about Flacco’s arm when all he does is underthrow receivers on deep routes, throw a jump ball, or dump off to Rice.
When have you seen a receiver catch a ball from Flacco on the run and I’m not talking the typical sprint down the right sideline that the Ravens run constantly? I’m talking about a catch across the middle… Watch other teams and you will see alot of running and catching. Not standing there waiting for the ball or out-jumping the defender.
Flacco was the 18th best QB in 2011, passed by such greats as Matt Hasselback, Kevin Kolb, Alex Smith, Tony Romo, Jay Cutler, Cam Newton…
And with his 22 / 42 passing today it ain’t looking good again for him. The leading receivers for the Ravens were Pitta, a TE and Rice, a RB. The receivers, Boldin, Smith, Jones had a total of 5 catches! 5!
Smith and Jones do nothing but run down the right sideline on deep routes. Boldin goes 7 yards and turns around and waits for the ball.
Flacco’s passes on that 2-minute drill were some of the worst I have seen!
And now Flacco has got in the habit of crying about every non call. Throwing his hands in the air, mouth open and looking stupid.
There is a reason why the Ravens haven’t signed Flacco long term yet…
Harbaugh? He’s a waste and needs to go…
Harbaugh is one of the best coaches in the nfl. You’re a moron
Are you on dope Crowley? Did you not see the latest poll that came out before the season that had Harbaugh in the bottom rung of coaches? How the comments stated he got lucky and came into a great situation? I like when idiots like you come out and say he’s one of the best coaches but have nothing to back it up.
Harbaugh is as clueless as you are assclown!
There should be plenty of love to go around for both teams. The Pink Hats are the only ones who jumped on the Ravens’ bandwagon and never got on the Birds bandwagon.
Look, this week is but a blip on the radar screen. We knew the Ravens wouldn’t go 16-0. Get this one out of their system now and move forward.
Look around the league, last week RGIII was the next coming and the Skins were Super Bowl bound. The Jets offense was “back”. The Patriots were the class of the AFC, The Steelers were done.
Ravens will still battle for the AFC North title and have a shot at representing the AFC in the Super Bowl.
Look for an inspired performance next Sunday night.
There is an old sports addage ‘ you’re not as good as you look when you win and you’re not as bad as you look when you lose ‘,,,,,,,,,,,the Ravens are a prime example of this addage the past two weeks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,although it does not change the fact Harbaugh and Cameron will never win a super bowl together , case closed…………….
