GAME THREAD - Ravens/Indy

[Sephy]

Hopefully this week we can improve. I'll be here, and I hope you all will too. Enjoy! See you in 45 minutes!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Washington is out apparently. So is Terry.

[4G63]

Lets Go Boys!!!

[4G63]

Come on Yamon...run one back!!

[Sephy]

We get the ball first. Kneel down on the kickoff.

[4G63]

Good throw away Flacco...

[Sephy]

1st, Willis for 3 or 4.
2nd and 7, fake pitch, Flacco rolls right, looks forever, no one is open, should have tucked and ran, but he throws it away. Not a dumb move.
3rd, Flacco's pass tipped and batted up, then picked at the 30. UGH.

Not his fault, but UGH.

[4G63]

Hold on O...and an INT!!! This is gonna be a long day!!

[Sephy]

1st, Addai for 1.
2nd and 9, PA, blitz coming but doesn't get there, deep for Wayne, great play by Reed to knock it away. Absolutely perfect throw too.
3rd, Colts take a TO. But then they don't. Now the clock is being reset.
3rd, Peyton looks, and about 4 Ravens were on him, so he hits the deck. Sack! Credited to Ray!

[4G63]

Sack by RAY RAY!!!

[Sephy]

Sack forces a punt. Fair caught at the 10.

[4G63]

We held them to a 3-and-out....lets get the running game going O!!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

LMAO Manning

[RavenDavey]

Peyton fell like a baby with Ray coming at him!!

[The Fanatic]

Run the Fucking ball here!!!
There is no excuse for not running this ball until they show they can consistantly stop it.

[4G63]

What else is he to do? Get his head removed!?! :lol:

[4G63]

5yds a carry.....lets keep this up!!

[Sephy]

1st, nice cutback by Willis to reverse field and get 5.
2nd and 5, Willis for 1 if he's lucky. More than likely no gain.
3rd and 5, Flacco throws it away. Pressure was on him, and he eluded a sack. Protection has been OK so far, but people need to get open!

[Sephy]

Great punt by Koch. Holding on the Colts. Should be back to like the 20 almost. Phenomenal result there.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Long day....

[camdenyard]

We have to be able to run on this team. No excuses.

[Lee Van Cleef]

LOL at play-by-play guy calling the Ravens D the "Colts Defense."

We might have broken Addai.

[Sephy]

1st from the 21, Manning almost sacked on the handoff, but Addai gets it and goes for 1.
2nd and 9, Addai limps off, pass incomplete for Harrison, through the hands as 2 Ravens descend on him.
3rd, about a half second before being sacked, completes to Wayne for 10.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

hahahaha yeah we SUCK!

[Sephy]

1st, PA, complete to a wide open Harrison who smoked C-Mac - touchdown.

HUGE hold on the Ravens on that play. HUGE HOLD.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Cover your man CMac.

F--k.

[camdenyard]

Well, I guess we can see who came to play today.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

That play was enough for me to take of my jersey and go do something worth doing..not sitting here being pissed!

[4G63]

I hope we at least get some points......

[TTRaven]

I would love to see our offense do that just one time.

[Sephy]

Upended. Not good blocking on these KOs.

[camdenyard]

And our return team still sucks.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, and sack. Whoever was on that right side for BURNED. Heap - had his man alone and got killed.

[Sephy]

2nd and 17, complete to Mason, gets about 6 or 7.
3rd and long, some misdirection draw attempted to Rice, and falls on the turf. They said Rice had the dropsies in practice...

[4G63]

Should we end this thread?

WTF!!! That was the dumbest play I've ever seen!!!

[camdenyard]

This is getting ugly in a hurry. Fumbles, sacks, no passion, no coverage...ugh

[Sephy]

This is gonna be a long goddamn day unless something changes.

Another phenomenal punt by Koch and nice tackling by Tommy Z.

[purple bird]

Why aren't we running the heck out of the ball with the McClain train ? Wear them down, use the run to set up the pass.

This is like Billick ball all over again.

Running may be boring, but it's effective.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Flacco is looking flustered. Someone talk to him to calm him down and tell Cam to run the ball on first down.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I will repeat myself again WE SUCK!! I have now thrown all my gear across the room! What f**king bull$sh!t!! We look like the damn Lions out there!

[camdenyard]

I'm so glad we get to play a crappy dfefense after two tough games against PIT and TEN. Glad we can exploit that 32nd-ranked rush D.

Somebody let me know when the game starts so I can enjoy all this.

[Brandon]

Wow this is looking really good so far

Mcalister gets caught peeking in the backfield and ends up getting burned worse than Travis Barker, and Yamon Brightful takes a huge hit and will probably be too hurt to play next week.

[Sephy]

1st from the 39, give to Rhodes who somehow evades Ravens and goes for 5 or 6.
2nd and 4, Wayne wide open for the slant, gain of about 7.

[4G63]

Miami looks awesome during that highlight, maybe I'll switch to that game.....

[Sephy]

1st, Rhodes loses 1.
2nd and 11, Manning rolls right, hits a wide open Wayne for a huge gain. Ivy is burnt like an STD.

[phatboy]

Will someone please f---ing cover

[4G63]

Reggie Wayne is gonna have 150+yds on us today.....

[RavensInBrazil]

Can someone cover Reggie Wayne, please?

[Lee Van Cleef]

Looks like we're going to start giving up the underneath stuff again. Great.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

No because we are too busy laying on the feild looking like a bunch of bitchs

[4G63]

Ed Reed bounced off of Gonzalez.....and he's small!!

[Sephy]

1st from the 32, Rhodes for 3.
2nd and 7, Peyton gets no pressure, has all day, hits Gonzo for 5 - smacked by Reed and doesn't go down, finished by Scott.
3rd and 2, whoever that back was was hit in the backfield, then again after a yard, and then STILL gets that 2 yards he needed. FUCKING TACKLE GODDAMNIT

[Lee Van Cleef]

Three hits and he still makes the first down? What the hell is that?

[camdenyard]

McAlister is getting his ass handed to him.

[Brandon]

Jeezuz, is CMAC even playing today

[Sephy]

1st, Rhodes stuffed at the line.
2nd and 10, pump fake, McAlister burnt AGAIN, and the ball is thrown just too far for Harrison. Good christ, its like this team doesn't even practice when they face the Colts.
3rd, Wayne burns Ivy like nothing, TD Colts. JFC!!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Yeah this game is OVER!

[purple bird]

If we can only get one of the following two in the offseason, what do we go for? :

1) Game-changing reciever
2) Awesome CB

[RavensInBrazil]

Lol...

[Lee Van Cleef]

CMac caught out by the double move again. If he's our Number 1 what are we gonna see from Walker and Ivy?

[Brandon]

Lovely.

[Sephy]

This is fucking pathetic. Ivy is pathetic, C-Mac is biting on every single fake, and no one is even trying.

[4G63]

Peyton has ALL DAY.....why are we rushing 3 again?

[The Fanatic]

We are going to get blown out!!!!!!!!

Seems to me that anybody with a clue would know that in order to beat the Colts you keep their offense off the field.

Kind of hard to do that when you don't have your own offense take adavantage of the mis match they have by running the ball.

[Sephy]

Lets tally:
C-Mac: One burnage for a 67 yd TD, one burnage which should have been a TD that was dropped.
Ivy: Let about 2 or 3 first down passes go, and then gets burnt for a TD.

I can't tell who to hate more right now.

[4G63]

Thank god I've got Sunday Ticket....I mean, I love my Ravens, but I'd like to be entertained and not have this beautiful Sunday ruined.....maybe I'll go do some housework....

[phatboy]

WTF is Figurs doing bringing them out. He has cost us at least 6 inside the 20 starts this year

[RavensInBrazil]

If Figurs was 5 yards deep in the end zone when he got the kick, WHY DID HE RUN WITH IT?

[Lee Van Cleef]

Run the goddamn ball... for god's sake.

[Sephy]

1st, Flacco hits Clayton for about 5.
2nd and 4, PA, screen complete to McClain, who fumbles and pops right into the Colts defender's hands. Who fumbles again, but the Colts get it back.

Should I turn this game off, or something?

[purple bird]

Wow!!

We can't set up a play action when we have hardly run the ball.

[bmorebirds_24]

we look like fucking shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Now McClain is coughing up balls?

I can't watch this anymore.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

So how many god damn times are we going to cough up the ball and turn it over? Just wondering?

[Sephy]

1st, deep for Wayne, incomplete.
2nd, Rhodes for 1 or 2.
3rd and 8, complete to Gonzo for 6.

[Sephy]

FG is good. 17-0 Colts. LOL.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

We are going to get blown out!!!!!!!!

Seems to me that anybody with a clue would know that in order to beat the Colts you keep their offense off the field.

Kind of hard to do that when you don't have your own offense take adavantage of the mis match they have by running the ball.

I'd agree...if we could you know...actually run the ball.

Our offense simply falls apart when we play the Colts for whatever reason and they aren't that good to begin with.

[4G63]

This team is a joke......Our offense is out of sorts and our "#1" Defense fucking sucks......

[Lee Van Cleef]

What is it with the Colts? When we play them we always end up embarrasing ourselves.

[Brandon]

B.J. Sams is available. Please bring him back. He atleast didn't do stupid shit like run the ball out of the endzone

[Sephy]

1st, Willis for 1, almost stripped again.

[purple bird]

The no pass rush thing is a great question. Harrison and co. like to stretch the field, blitzing Manning won't give them the time to do that.

Although given who we have in the secondary, Ryan probably can't commit too many up front.

[4G63]

They're gonna put 9 in the box and DARE us to throw!!!

[Sephy]

2nd and 10, complete to Willis for 9-10. Offsides on the D. Declined.

[bmorebirds_24]

heres my grades after the 1st quater.

running the ball d
passing the ball f-
tackling-d
receivers getting open-d
pass bloacking c+

[camdenyard]

This is embarassing.

We can't run against the worst run defense in the NFL. We are being beat up in every phase of the game.

[Sephy]

3rd and 1, Ravens run for it, first down.

[Lee Van Cleef]

They're gonna put 9 in the box and DARE us to throw!!!

I think any DC worth his salt would have this game plan. It's probably why Cam came out with pass plays to start the game, to try and make them back off and respect the pass a bit. But sadly the offense just can't execute and now the Colts D can taste blood, and when those fast Ds get going... it gets ugly.

[4G63]

Wow, a first down...and going no huddle....

[Lee Van Cleef]

And Flacco can't his his man wide-open.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, pass too low for Neal, but there were about 3 Colts defenders coming down on him.
2nd, draw to Willis, gains 1.
3rd and 9, complete to Heap, good protection, gain of 14 and a first.

[4G63]

Heappppppp!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

There we go, nice throw by Flack.

[purple bird]

Willis doesn't wear guys down. Power rush Mcclain and give the d a rest.

[Dont Know]

umm...the stat they showed. 1st quarter combined score for the last 2 games.

Bal - Ind 0 - 40 :bag:

[Sephy]

1st, slant thrown too wide of D-Will. Should have caught it anyway.
2nd, give to Willis, gains about 4. Flag down. Offside.

[Sephy]

2nd and 5, screen to Willis, gets about 10 and a first. Nice play. Willie Anderson had a great block before Flacco let the ball go to make it work.

[Lee Van Cleef]

2nd and 5, screen to Willis, gets about 10 and a first. Nice play. Willie Anderson had a great block before Flacco let the ball go to make it work.

Very good block, drove his guy into the dirt.

[phatboy]

Christ Flac having trouble standing up. Did he get a Boller transplant

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Ok so can someone please explain to me why a RB/FB would stop running full steam ahead? ARE YOU THAT GOD DAMN SCARED? My 9 yr old runs the ball better!

[Sephy]

1st from the Colts 44, McClain has no hole, tries to go left and then loses 1 or 2.
2nd and 11, that weird draw to McClain this time, and goes for no gain. What a terrible play.
3rd and 11, Flacco sacked by Mathis. Didn't even see him. Grubbs abandoned his position to go find someone else to block, and Mathis went right through that hole.

[4G63]

Rushing 4 and getting the sack.....this O-line looks like shit!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

One of those linemen upfield on those delays really needs to pick Brackett off. Brown could have had him on that last one.

[Sephy]

1st from the 24, lobbed to a wide open Hart, who fumbles it out of bounds after a big gain, and then hurts his knee. Probably out for the year.

[4G63]

Matt Ryan is 10 for 12 for 124yds.....do you think Atlanta is airing it out?

[bmorebirds_24]

question of the week......



would this game still be fair if manning came out in the second half blind folded?

[4G63]

I sat Peyton on my fantasy team.....I'll never do that again when he plays the Ravens...

[RavenScallywag]

first time i'll say it this season...

why can't the NFL give us a mercy option to end this game at halftime?

[Sephy]

1st from the 41, Rhodes for no gain.
2nd and 10, overthrown for Harrison as the pressure came.
3rd, false start.
3rd and 15, draw for no gain.

[UKRavenStockers]

Security at 1 Winning Drive should be fired, who the hell let Matt Cavanaugh back in the building to swap his playbook with Cameron's?

[Sephy]

And Ivy gets a hold. He is completely useless.

[RavenScallywag]

can we catch just ONE break today?

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Ivy and Walker are both ass faces who have no place on our team, I have been saying that forever now!!

[RavenScallywag]

Forfeit

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Mason, gain of 1.
2nd and 9, Flacco goes deep and is picked by Bethea at midfield.

Actually a good pattern and throw but he didn't look off the safety. Got it picked.

[bmorebirds_24]

ok we SUCK!!!!!!!!

[4G63]

Joe staring down the WR AGAIN!!

[Sgt CouchPotato]

yeah don't come back to the ball or nothing clayton, you know what? don't even bother looking for the ball, just run around and think about all the &%^& you'll be sucking after the game...

[Lee Van Cleef]

It was underthrown too, receiver had to slow up and come back to make that one.

[bmorebirds_24]

Colts 3-2

Ravens 2-3

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Rhodes, but a Raven was held.
1st and 20, quick pass to Wayne for about 10.
2nd and 10, complete to Robinson for 2.
3rd and 8, Manning has a mixup and goes deep for no one.

[bmorebirds_24]

Anyone have the suicide hotline number

call vince young i am pretty sure he has it.....:happyanim

[RavenScallywag]

i didn't think our field position could get worse...

by god i was wrong....

[Sgt CouchPotato]

alright lets see another turnover or possibly a safety...

[4G63]

Awesome...we get it at our own 4!!! :ww: :grbac:

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I have a good idea... Flacco just had it to the colts d and let them get the 7...it will happen one way or another! Just get it over with!

[Lee Van Cleef]

It's like I said in some other thread, we are not playoff ready. Flacco is going to hit bumps in the road this season and sadly he's hitting them hard.

We need something to change momentum, a big hit, turnover or gain, anything to give the players some confidence that there is still something to play for. We also need to stop running these slow developing plays and hit quick and hard.

[RavenScallywag]

did he just run into a blocker?

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I think I could run the ball better than our O..and I am 7 months prego! GO ME!

[bmorebirds_24]

a f'n screen pass with no blockers out in front

[RavenScallywag]

ok, so at least we didn't just hand them the ball....

[4G63]

I'm glad the Colts are having their "welcome back" game against us....

[TTRaven]

It looks like this offense is in slow motion.

[RavenScallywag]

a f'n screen pass with no blockers out in front

not a screen...a checkdown...basically, the safety option for flacco

[4G63]

a f'n screen pass with no blockers out in front

Our WR's only run ROUTES....they can't block!!! :rolling: :grbac:

[RavenScallywag]

police, put out an APB....this is NOT our defense!!!!!

[4G63]

Dominic Rhodes with an awesome run...good job Dominic!!!

[bmorebirds_24]

i seen it was a check down on the replay.my mistake!!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

A bunch of people missed tackles there. But seriously. Fuck Frank Walker. What was that? He didn't even try to tackle the guy.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Ok off to do something to keep me from cutting my wrist!! Thanks colts for the bad afternoon! RAVENS F**KIN SUCK! I AM OUT!

[RavenScallywag]

not to pile on, but we better just not show up against Miami next week...save us the embarrasment...

[UKRavenStockers]

Defence, enough with the hits! I recognise you're trying to spark something, but you're just embarassing yourselves with these pitiful attempts at tackles. They're anticipating the hits and staying on their feet, enough with it, wrap 'em up and drag 'em down!

[Lee Van Cleef]

hmmm, going out on a limb arnt you

No. I'm done now. I thought we had a run defense. Humiliating.

[4G63]

Why did I sit Peyton Manning.....this D sucks!!!!

[RavenScallywag]

i'm going to sleep now, with a bag over my head.

Chris McAlister has been in the toaster ALL DAY.

[Ravannapolis]

McAllister gets beat again. Looks like I know which jersey I'm not wearing next week. I really wonder what is up with him today.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Right, I'm going to turn off the game and beat off over this instead. Might cheer me up.

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3481/1223758763864fv5.gif

[4G63]

McAlister beat AGAIN!!! Jam them at the line!!! God Fucking dammit!!!!

[4G63]

That delayed handoff DOESNT WORK!!! WHY ARE YOU STILL DOING IT!!!

[RavenScallywag]

just kneel it

[RavenScallywag]

oh yes....Indy will have a chance to score AGAIN!!!!

[UKRavenStockers]

That's some stunning coverage there from Mcalister, screw playing, he's just getting paid to sit and watch the game from the defensive backfield. The rest of us have to pay to watch it on TV/in the stadium/over the internet, what a sweet deal he's got there.

What do you mean he's supposed to be playing?

[RavenScallywag]

Peyton, i love you for just kneeling it here!!!

[RavenScallywag]

any chance there's a locker room fight at halftime?

the way we're playing, I can just see a coach and a player mixing it up...

[camdenyard]

I would love to be in that locker room right now.

I can't think of a single player...except maybe Koch and Katula...who isn't totally stinking it up.

What do we have, 12 yards against the worst rush D in the NFL?

Pathetic.

[Merlin]

Harbaugh should call out their manhood
The team isn't trying
Don't care about the score -- just bring on some additional effort
Can the coaches make any adjustments?

[RavenTD]

Where did we see this s**t before.Oh yeah last year.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

You out physical a speedy light defense.Run the ball down their throats up the middle from the I. No run delay misdirection runs.To give the Colts D time to read the play.

Now Flacco who has that deer in the headlight look has to throw into a speedy defense who knows they can pin their ears back.

Time to sit the young gun.Before it gets any uglier and he shrinks into himself
with shellshock.

[RavenScallywag]

i might agree there...but our other option is Bouman....

nah, let's see if Flacco bounces back

[camdenyard]

Can the coaches make any adjustments?

Good question.

I have conceded the game at this point, but I want to see what Cameron and Ryan have to answer this fucking Little Big Horn.

The Colts are not this good, and the Ravens are not this bad.

The Ravens need to find a way to get the running game going, and get the ball down the field.

McAlister needs to find his balls.

[RavenScallywag]

my goal for 2nd half...no shut out.

please, let's not embarass ourselves anymore than we have...

[OwingsMillsAlex]

This is not the game I was looking for. Did someone not tell Figures last week to take the knee in the end zone? I mean dude, you're getting stopped at the 10.

I hear that the Chiefs are trying to shop Tony Gonzales for a number 3 in next year's draft. Maybe we should try to get him as Heap looks like he is still lost in the offensive game plan.

[RavenTD]

I think Cmac saw all the other secondary players out,and decided not to turn up either.Lead by example you are a vet and should be a leader.You have to bring your A game against a QB like Peyton,and vet receivers like Harrison and Wayne.

No, Cmac is making bush league mistakes.

[RavenTD]

as Heap looks like he is still lost in the offensive game plan.

You know that is the saddest thing.To see one of your main offensive targets from years past sink into obscurity.

I have a tonne of frustration to vent.But what the hell we have been through this scenario so many times before.

[RavenScallywag]

quite obviously, alftime had no effect...

[4G63]

Why are we rushing 3

[camdenyard]

"Walker never turned around"

Noooooo.......

[4G63]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL pass by Peyton, Reggie didn't even put his hands up!!!

[RavenScallywag]

Walker is injured...

is that even a bad thing?

[RavenTD]

You know if this was a boxing match then Harbaugh would have thrown in the towel by now.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Walker is injured...

is that even a bad thing?

Yeah because now Ivy is our outside corner.

Way to go Ozzie and your great work this off season fixing the CB depth situation.

[RavenScallywag]

please get us ONE score...JUST ONE?

i'll take a damn FG right now

[RavenScallywag]

Yeah because now Ivy is our outside corner.

Way to go Ozzie and your great work this off season fixing the CB depth situation.

Rolle, Washington, and Walker in front of Ivy...seriouly, this wasn't Ozzie's fault.

[Sgt CouchPotato]

nice return figurs...

[phatboy]

CBS just killed my HD feed for the Bengals game. Christ can this day get any worse

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Take The Damn Knee On The Kickoffs!! We're Getting Smoked On Any Returns From The End Zone!!!

[camdenyard]

Seriously, does Figurs suddenly get off running head-on into guys or does our return game SUCK this bad?

[Lee Van Cleef]

It'd help if he got some blocks.

But then a lot of things would help our team right now.

[Hooper]

The Network here just switched to the J-E-T-S and Bungles game. Damn I was enjoying the Ravens game.

[UKRavenStockers]

Yeah because now Ivy is our outside corner.

Way to go Ozzie and your great work this off season fixing the CB depth situation.

How many more outside corners do you want Ozzie to bring in? Ivy is the 3rd guy off the bench at the outside corner spot with Rolle, Washington and Walker down. How many corners are we supposed to carry to fix the CB depth? Ozzie got new guys in, I didn't like the signing of Walker, but he got guys in, Ivy is lower down the depth chart but we've just been beset by injuries at corner. No-one in the league runs 5 deep with starting quality at corner.

[Sgt CouchPotato]

just fucking throw it deep once!!! FUCK!!! throw a fuckin 70 yd bomb and see what happens...what the fuck is a 3 yard out to clayton gonna do?

[4G63]

The local channel in PA just changed from our game to the Bengals/Jets game....maybe this is a good thing so I don't kill someone today!!!

[camdenyard]

At this point do we start and question the head coach and having these guys ready to play?

No.

I srarted asking that question when it was 14-0.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

The Network here just switched to the J-E-T-S and Bungles game. Damn I was enjoying the Ravens game.

Where are you watching this game? In Baltimore we're still watching this abysmal game.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Where are you watching this game? In Baltimore we're still watching this abysmal game.

Never mind. I saw your post about the PA station after I posted this one.

[Hooper]

Where are you watching this game? In Baltimore we're still watching this abysmal game.

Cleveland

[4G63]

Hell, Ryan Fitzpatrick looks GOOD!!!

[RavenScallywag]

i think it's only fair that Indy brings in Sorgi now...seriously, it won't matter.

[RavenScallywag]

holy S...that was our first nice play!

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Cleveland

Sorry to hear that. I bet ABC will be wishing they could switch to a different game tomorrow night.

[RavenScallywag]

nice to see Ray Rice get back on track...

[Lee Van Cleef]

So those delays do work, you just need a fast runner to do it. Though admittedly, the Colts D is playing off.

[4G63]

I guess DirecTV is allowing me to see the game since the local switched...normally I'd have blackout rules in effect!

[RavenScallywag]

oh damn you Jim Nantz....Indy hasn't had a shutout since 97...

i bet they get one today now

[RavenScallywag]

Stover now is NOT the time to miss!!!!

[camdenyard]

Field goal down 31?

LOL.

[4G63]

Wow...I wasn't watching and they did well.....I turn the game on and Flacco get s sacked....man this team sucks~!! and I'm going back to Miami/Houston....

[RavenScallywag]

31-3

NO shut out. PARTY AT MY HOUSE!!!!!!

[RavensInBrazil]

And that's 3 sacks for Mathis...

[Lee Van Cleef]

Shutout avoided. I'm almost tempted to say "Woo."

[Raveninwoodlawn]

I've accepted the fact that we can't and will never ever be able to run the football against the Colts...no matter how bad they are against everyone else.

[RavenTD]

I like the philosophy,let the opposing team go up 30+ points to give your own offense some room to move the ball.

[4G63]

Field goal down 31?

LOL.

If it was 4th and 2, I'd agree...but they'd need a big play and this team doesn't have big plays going for it!!

[camdenyard]

The object of the game is to win. Not erase the goose egg.

[UKRavenStockers]

Come on guys keep the faith, it's about 5 years since that comeback against the Seahawks, we're overdue a comeback! :D


And the most worrying part about this hopeless optimism? I'm stone cold sober! :D

[RavenScallywag]

when they can convert that, our D should kick it's own ass

[camdenyard]

Why is Manning still in the game?

[Lee Van Cleef]

At least people whill shut up about the Ravens not getting any respect.

[RavenScallywag]

gift penalty

[4G63]

I could see that holding from my house....

[Lee Van Cleef]

"Frank Walker... just..." Say it Simms... He sucks.

[purple bird]

Who are the good college corners right now?

[4G63]

True...but a correct call

[OwingsMillsAlex]

My left ankle hurts...just wanted to share as not much else is going on today.

[Jeeprx]

Where's #20???

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Jimmy on the sideline has the best job ever. He gets paid to stand on the sideline and watch football while listening to the QB calls. I'd like to have that job if I could get it.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Colts are imploding, 4th and 23 and they punt.

AND Figurs goes nowhere fast.

[4G63]

Can we just throw a bomb and see what happens?

[RavenScallywag]

would love to see Flacco get us a score here...

[RavenTD]

Wasn't Harbaugh a special teams coach? Wouldn't it be nice to share some of that knowlegde to the kick cover and return teams.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Nice throw to Williams there.

[4G63]

Our O-line has had a terrible game...they trip over themselves when blocking and can't block anybody!!!

[purple bird]

Anyone read "Next man up" ? If so, what do you think happened with McCallister, do you think this is the same thing as that 2004 game at home vs. the Bengals? In the book, the wrote about how everyone on the team knew C-Mac had been partying the night before and was still hammered during the game, hence his hand in giving up 21 points in the fourth quarter.
They said that Ray laid into him in the locker room after the game.

Do you think he was boozing it up last night?

[4G63]

Bad throw JOE!!!

[camdenyard]

Gee that was a nice INT.

[Lee Van Cleef]

CMac is just having a really bad game. He's gambling heavily and Payton is making him pay. You can't do that against the Colts.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

If not last night he'll be boozing it up after the game. Everyone in the league knows that when Flacco rolls right he locks onto a receiver. Did it again and yes, I know it is a rookie mistake that he needs to learn to change. But it sucks watching this team have tons of problems today.

And yes, I know that we weren't expecting the team to do much this season but it still hurts when the team plays like a bad JV team.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Can't believe I'm paying gamepass to watch this crap.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Matt Ryan is looking pretty good.

[UKRavenStockers]

How do you throw an interception on a screen pass? Jesus, there's rookie mistakes and there's just plain shit. If the screen is covered kill it at the feet of the defender or throw it OOB if you're outside the tackle box.

[Sgt CouchPotato]

lol way to hurt yourself figurs...

[RavenScallywag]

it'll sting less when flacco starts showing the experience...

hope is what'll get me through games like this...

[4G63]

Figurs hurt on the runback of 60 'er 6 yards....sounds like a good time for Jim Leonhard!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

That, right there, shows Figurs is simply off his rocker.

[RavenTD]

Even with that interception.Simm's is right and I stand corrected keeping Flacco in is the right thing to do.He has to learn,and its all about his future.
Take his lumps now,and lets hope down the road whenever it is,that it all serves a purpose.

Yeap, it is hard to swallow.But we have learn't to swallow QB mistakes around here up to our eyeballs.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Figurs hurt on the runback of 60 'er 6 yards....sounds like a good time for Jim Leonhard!!

Not going to happen. I'm pretty sure there was a Sun article last week saying that apparently because of the depth issues in the secondary none of the DBs are going to be returning kicks.

[RavenTD]

Figurs is no Marcus Allen.

[bmorebirds_24]

this is not fair indy stole our team this is bullshit.

[RavenScallywag]

I think we'd let an OL run back kicks before risking a member of our secondary.

And given our depth at RB, WR, I think that may be who we send out.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

I agree with keeping Flacco in. Never crossed my mind in pulling him. We need to grow with him and let him get the experience. Besides, who do you put in? Troy Smith? Tod Bouman? Flacco is the best bet for this time and the future.

[4G63]

this is not fair indy stole our team this is bullshit.

:rolling: :141847_smmackbottom

[Lee Van Cleef]

this is not fair indy stole our team this is bullshit.

Hahahaha. That's comical.

At least Ray Rice is playing hard.

[phatboy]

Remember Troy Aikman. 1-15 his first year. He turned out pretty well

[4G63]

God, Mason can't even hold onto the ball.....

[Lee Van Cleef]

Mason's hands a bit slick there, ey?

[Sgt CouchPotato]

c'mon harbaugh keep the flag in your pocket..

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Oy Vay!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Looked like a catch to me. What he's challenging that for is beyond me.

[purple bird]

I actually thought Sams was a pro-bowl caliber returner. I remember 1 year he lead the league in return yardage. I thik we let him go only because of the broken leg several years ago.

[RavenTD]

Remember when our defense used to cause turnovers? And flew to the ball enmasse?

[4G63]

This team has serious issues and has a LOT to work on this week and the coming weeks.....we are straight-up BAD!!!
