Packers Game Thread

[StingerNLG]

Long deep sigh.

[Galen Sevinne]

here we go...everything starting to fall apart b/c mason can't keep his shit together

3 and 32

[TTRaven]

Come on Derrick! Keep your head in the game!

[RavenScallywag]

3rd and 32...

Rice fumbles, but grabs it quick and just gets a couple.

There goes our momentum.

[Galen Sevinne]

booom booom

deee.... fense.... boomm boom

deee..... fense.... boom booom

dee.... fense.... booom booom

i can hear it

[StingerNLG]

Clayton the Playmaker with the slip on the field.

Mason with the offensive PI.

Rice almost coughing up the ball again.

Yep, it's the 4th quarter.

[Mr.Boh]

Theres no way that was pi on mason... he played for the ball...

[Stumpy]

Big Bird... get the fuck away from the TV

[TTRaven]

Anyone notice Flacco did the pump fake without his fingers on the laces?

[StingerNLG]

Theres no way that was pi on mason... he played for the ball...

After pushing Woodson around him. That's legal in Basketball. Not in Football.

[festivus]

Theres no way that was pi on mason... he played for the ball...

Shouldn't have put his arms around Woodson's waist, but it did not have to be called...

[TIME TO HUNT!]

Can we just play the third quarter again

[Dade]

The emtional highes and lowes this team puts us through...

[TTRaven]

Theres no way that was pi on mason... he played for the ball...

It was the right call. Mason didn't even have to touch Woodson. The ball was underthrown and Woodson would have ran past Mason anyway.

[purple bird]

Clayton the Playmaker with the slip on the field.

Mason with the offensive PI.

Rice almost coughing up the ball again.

Yep, it's the 4th quarter.



Look at that, going with Rice, Mason and Clayton gets us nowhere, after DWill and KWash get us back in the game. Surprise Surprise !!!!!

[baltimore_hokie]

My buddy, who is a big Titans fan (and still bitter from the playoff win...yeeeeeeah) just sent me a text that said "Man, you guys are getting shafted on all these pass interference calls."

Even without purple goggles on, it is obvious that we're getting screwed.

[Everything_Ravens]

turn over time baby!

[Galen Sevinne]

should have ran the ball that last possesion

[CRZA938]

Rice almost coughing up the ball again.



Joe almost handed it off to his neck. I agree though, not a promising start to the 4th...

The PI on Mason was ticky tack.

[TTRaven]

Why don't we ever use the quick pass?

[James R(aven)]

Come on D we need another INT!

[Mr.Boh]

we need a big defensive play here....

[StingerNLG]

And no one covering Donald Driver.

[Lee Van Cleef]

That waterproof pendant they advertised, for old people that fall over. Foxworth should get one.

[Mr.Boh]

fuck.

[festivus]

:grbac:

[Stumpy]

I think my 4year old tackles better then half the damn team

[RavenScallywag]

Our offense better find it's rhythm again, down 10 again.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

Crap.....Time is running out....throw only to D. Wlliams and Washington

[Stumpy]

Well.. we played a damn fine 2 minutes in the 3rd quarter.

[Galen Sevinne]

the worst part is gruden is spunking off to rodgers again...he was actually quiet there for third qtr

[StingerNLG]

I cannot believe they left the Packers best receiver completely uncovered at the line of scrimmage. COMPLETELY uncovered.

[Mr.Boh]

if we get ANY points here, we are still in it. big IF.

[Dade]

Cam put DWill and Kelley i now! We had alot success with them in the 3rd quarter.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

if we get ANY points here, we are still in it. big IF.

thats a big IF

[Big Bird]

The D is probably getting worn out. Good pass rush getting shithead outta the pocket but scrablin receivers are making the difference on those kinda plays..

[baltimore_hokie]

Webbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[Galen Sevinne]

webb you da man

[RavenScallywag]

Webb you beautiful son of a bitch!

NICE return...25 yard field.

[StingerNLG]

Wow!!! Webb almost broke it!!

[Dade]

Thank you Webb. Great return now punch it in O!

[Everything_Ravens]

webb:worthy:

[TIME TO HUNT!]

big IF = L.Webb

[Big Bird]

Goddamn..... Kickoff return to the Packs 26 yd line

[808 Raven]

Nice job Webb!

[Galen Sevinne]

i thought Webb ran a 4.3?

[baltimore_hokie]

i thought Webb ran a 4.3?

It's not 15 degrees outside with a football in his hand when he runs the 40 at the combine.

[Dade]

DWill gets that PI everytime!

[RavenScallywag]

DWil SHOULD'VE CAUGHT that...but a PI gives us on the 1.

Punch it in!

[Galen Sevinne]

this is a bit ridiculous all the PIs


not complaing...just saying

[Big Bird]

Another Packer pass Interference.... go fer it guys..

[StingerNLG]

Another throw to D-Will, another pass interference!!!

And another touchdown Williams would have had. He would have had two tonight.

[RavenScallywag]

Two words...PLAY...ACTION.

[Flipping Birdie]

Is this the PI Bowl?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Fuck willis mcgahee...get the fuck off my team

[Galen Sevinne]

It's not 15 degrees outside with a football in his hand when he runs the 40 at the combine.

right but the temp is the same for the guy that just smoked him to catch up

[808 Raven]

Why the hell wasn't McClain behind Ngata on that run?

[Dade]

Great Flacco forgot there was a play clock. Didn't think he got the TO in time.

[baltimore_hokie]

Fuck willis mcgahee...get the fuck off my team

Yeah, pretty much. Why not L-Train McClain there???

[TIME TO HUNT!]

fuck willis mcgahee...get the fuck off my team

damm it mcgahee.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:187734:

[RavenScallywag]

DWil needs to make that catch next time...both PIs were borderline, and if he doesn't make the catch, he's just a WR who gets seperation but can't make a catch.

[StingerNLG]

right but the temp is the same for the guy that just smoked him to catch up

You know Webb was just playing defense the entire series before that KO right? It's not like the dude had fresh legs.

[purple bird]

DWILL is good, they can't cover him which is why they are always interfering with him.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

NEED A td HERE NOTHING LESS

[baltimore_hokie]

"THAT IS AWFUL"...Well said

[808 Raven]

How the hell did I know that was gonna happen?

[TIME TO HUNT!]

dumbass fucking coaches run the ball we need to run the ball

[Mr.Boh]

dumb dumb dumb

[James R(aven)]

Come onnnnnn gotta punch it in here!

[RavenScallywag]

Oh damn it...I thought it was Joe Flacco there, it was actually Kyle Boller.

DAMN IT JOE...GET RID OF IT OR RUN IT, don't FORCE it

[StingerNLG]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!!!!!


FLACCO WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON JOE.

What a choke job for the second time in 3 weeks.

[TTRaven]

Come on Joe! Throw the ball away!

[Big Bird]

Fuckin Flacco. He needs to mature as a QB. This guys is still a rookie in some manner

[Dade]

Wtf! Dammit joe throw it away.

[Galen Sevinne]

crusher

[purple bird]

Joe is really trying to force it.

[808 Raven]

Joe could've at least scrambled close to the line of scrimmage. We would've had one more damn attempt. That killed us. Damnit Joe.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

yes we try and lose games isn't that what Herm Edwards said....."You play to lose the game!"

[festivus]

I am now ill and going to bed.

[baltimore_hokie]

Those are the decisions that make me wonder about Flacco...

[Raveninwoodlawn]

What a choke job by Flacco.

Again.

Sucks balls in the first half and then chokes the game away late.

1st and fucking goal at the 1 and throw an INT from the 5.

Unreal.

This offense would continue to be pure dog shit if the ref's weren't so ridiculously flag happy with the PI calls.

[StingerNLG]

Or plant your foot and shoot the ball to the back corner of the endzone.

That was a horrible throw.

[RavenScallywag]

That was Joe trying to put this game on his shoulders...he tried to force it, he needs to play safe and learn to livve another play...

luckily our D forces 4 and out.

[James R(aven)]

W t f! Arrgghhhh!

[808 Raven]

Seriously. What the hell was he thinking? There's a difference between trying to make a play and just being stupid. Joe, that was just plain STUPID!

[TIME TO HUNT!]

Dam it....we were on the 1 yard line......I am having a hard time getting over that goal line crap play calls

[Galen Sevinne]

I think Flacco hit his rookie wall about 12 months later than normal

[baltimore_hokie]

Or plant your foot and shoot the ball to the back corner of the endzone.

That was a horrible throw.

Or throw it away and take another shot on third down.

Even if it's third down, throw it away and get 3 to make it a one possession game. No excuse for it.

[808 Raven]

Are you serious Flacco?

[Galen Sevinne]

serioulsy...not sure Boller ever looked this bad

[StingerNLG]

This game is over.

Our season is over.

[baltimore_hokie]

Hahahahahaha

Ladies and Gentleman, meet your "Franchise Quarterback"!!!!!

[RavenScallywag]

simply put, we are finding ways to lose.

[Flipping Birdie]

What the fuck has happened to Flacco's head?

[Big Bird]

Can anybody believe this? Flcco immediately threw another one into coverage.

[Rza52]

No excuses, Flacco should be benched for the remainder of this game.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

we could not get three feet.....3 feet from a touchdown

[808 Raven]

Did Flacco put some money on the Packers to win or something?

[Dade]

And thats the ball game folks. Flacco chokes.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

I can take a play where he gives one of our guys a chance at the ball. I can take a great play by the defense.

I can take a throw away...or a run out of bounds.

I cannot take a late floating duck throw against your body when the one thing you can't have is an INT.

Now ANOTHER INT by Flacco.

We all need to lay off the Flacco praise...he has played like shit over the last 8 weeks or so. At a time when he should be really taking off, he is playing like Boller.

[Everything_Ravens]

joe flacco?????

[Galen Sevinne]

take away the two PIs in the endzone and it is 24 - 0 and we are all long asleep

[Mr.Boh]

Flacco, after these last 8 weeks, has made next year a make or break season for himself. Get it all out of your system now joe...

[RavenScallywag]

Packers driving for the death blow score to end the game.

We could come back from 10...17, no way.

[CRZA938]

Both were very poor throws, but the one across his body on SECOND down was the worst...

[James R(aven)]

That has to be it, well done Joe - GAME OVER!

[TIME TO HUNT!]

Flacco, after these last 8 weeks, has made next year a make or break season for himself. Get it all out of your system now joe...

2 early for that....I think Harbs has made next season a make or break

[NC Raven]

On the bright side, I think we uncovered a great trade target to add to our WR corps during the offseason: AJ Hawk. Just on that one play alone, he makes the top 3 in our depth chart, with a shot at one of the starting outside spots..

[StingerNLG]

And on the other side of the ball, you see what it's like to watch a competent QB throwing to good receivers.

I wasn't going to put this game on Flacco until the last two picks. That pick at the goaline reminded me of Boller @ Denver.

[baltimore_hokie]

Rodgers was better than Flacco tonight. Bottom line.

[Galen Sevinne]

Jim Harbaugh out on the field yelling at the refs....thats too funny. next we will see Pa Harbaugh out there

nice waste of 30 seconds Harbaugh family

[Dade]

Rodgers was better than Flacco tonight. Bottom line.

The Packers were better than the Ravens tonight.

[myfavoriteboxer]

The 2009 Baltimore Ravens, playoff spectators. I want to go throw up.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

Jim Harbaugh out on the field yelling at the refs....thats too funny. next we will see Pa Harbaugh out there

Which Harb is the head coach?......I'm Confused:229031_confused2:

[RavenScallywag]

The goal line pick was just bad because it was already a busted play. Flacco tried to make something out of nothing. That throw is only acceptable if we're down a score with no time left or it's 4th down. Otherwise you throw the ball away and come back for another play.

The 2nd one was all on him trying to force feed Heap. Hawk was too closely guarding him, easy pick for him.

[StingerNLG]

There needs to be big changes to the offense starting tomorrow. This is about as embarrassing a game I can remember in the last 3 years.

[808 Raven]

The Packers were better than the Ravens tonight.

Absolutely. The Ravens got outplayed and outcoached.

[Everything_Ravens]

Rodgers was better than Flacco tonight. Bottom line.

:word

but lets get some ballers around him b4 we write him off!!!

[RavenScallywag]

Two TD game...I'd like to see us get one at least. Make this a game and redeem yourselves, offense.

[Galen Sevinne]

up until this week, the ravens were competitive in every game. tonight they flat out sucked. could have easily been shut out tonight

[Mr.Boh]

Jim Harbaugh out on the field yelling at the refs....thats too funny. next we will see Pa Harbaugh out there

nice waste of 30 seconds Harbaugh family

cant blame him... we got fucked with the clock.

[Galen Sevinne]

cant blame him... we got fucked with the clock.

yeah but isn't that a problem when the coach of an NFL team has a family member out on the field???

[StingerNLG]

False start. How fitting.

[darb72]

I guess it's time to start looking forward to next year.

New receivers, new safety and new CBs. Let's look at the draft.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

Flacco just got knocked to the ground and no one cared!.....No one helped him up:229031_confused2:

[Galen Sevinne]

Flacco just got knocked to the ground and no one cared!.....No one helped him up:229031_confused2:

so who tells Anita first that the locker room wants Troy?

[RavenScallywag]

No urgency here, so I think Cam is telling them "we've lost, just make a show like we're trying to win"

Not even going deep.

[Rza52]

Why isn't Flacco on the bench?

[StingerNLG]

Wow. And now the Ravens are playing like they know they've lost.

Just take the fucking knee.

[808 Raven]

I guess it's time to start looking forward to next year.

New receivers, new safety and new CBs. Let's look at the draft.

We're still in the hunt for a wild card. Barely, but it's still there.

[TIME TO HUNT!]

hurry up!

[Galen Sevinne]

Ravens have tapped

[Fanman]

I feel sorry for our defense....they played hard and not all that badly really.
Face it...our offense is sub-par and tonight our QB played like total sh-t.

I'm not seeing Joe get better as the year progresses and that surprises me.

FM

[RavenScallywag]

Why isn't Flacco on the bench?

Because Harbaugh is taking a page from Billick and going down with his QB...

Because obviously Troy would be able to lead us back to a win here with these receivers.:insane:

[TIME TO HUNT!]

so who tells Anita first that the locker room wants Troy?

haha good one.....nice Anita burn

[StingerNLG]

We're still in the hunt for a wild card. Barely, but it's still there.

Come on, really? I know mathmatically they are not eliminated yet. But we are not going to the playoffs.

Tell me watching this offense the last several weeks that even the Detroit game is still a "gimme".

[4G63]

Oh well....Joe decided to take a shit in the 4th quarter....and he's throwingfor a 2-yard gain with 45 seconds? Joe has had a REALLY bad game!!

[808 Raven]

Another penalty? This is just hilarious already.

[Rza52]

Because Harbaugh is taking a page from Billick and going down with his QB...

Because obviously Troy would be able to lead us back to a win here with these receivers.:insane:

Neither of them will. Winning isn't the point. Kicking Joe in the ass and letting him ride the bench and think about his mistakes is the point. Maybe remind him he isn't the only QB on the team? I'm still on his bandwagon but he clearly needs a wake up call.

[StingerNLG]

Hhahahahahahahaha, False Start.

Its funny. Because otherwise it would just make me sick.

[James R(aven)]

Bad game for Joe, gotta forget about it and think about next week and ironing out all those penalties.

It's 5am here :193:

[Galen Sevinne]

are we playing for field position here?

[808 Raven]

Come on, really? I know mathmatically they are not eliminated yet. But we are not going to the playoffs.

Tell me watching this offense the last several weeks that even the Detroit game is still a "gimme".

That's why I said barely.

[RavenScallywag]

4th and 3, let's see a screen pass.

Nope, sack. Fitting.

Wonderful Ravens. Nice playcalling Cam.

[TTRaven]

Why isn't Flacco on the bench?

What's the point? So we can see Troy Smith complete a few checkdown passes in garbage time and have some moronic fans slobber all over him?

[StingerNLG]

Another checkdown.

The guys in the booth need to understand, the game is over and the Ravens know it. They aren't even trying.

And a sack.

This was the worst 2 minute offense in the history of the NFL.

What pisses me off more than the loss is that the team gave up. Don't anyone try to tell me otherwise. This offense packed it in and stopped trying.

[Fanman]

Good grief...this game was embarrasing. Another one in the string of prime time meltdowns by the Ravens. Ugh.

And let's cut the playoff talk now...we are done and we earned it.
Good teams can win on the road...we can't.

FM

[Galen Sevinne]

Mson ran an 8 yard curl on that last play...i didn't even see a raven in the endzone? not that i think they could win but :187734:

[CRZA938]

Why were we throwing 5 yard outs when we needed two scores. Awful performance.

[RavenScallywag]

I don't want to hear about the playoffs. The playoffs are too good for us.

The rest of this season needs to be about fixing this team so we can play more than 1 friggin game of good football.

[Rza52]

What's the point? So we can see Troy Smith complete a few checkdown passes in garbage time and have some moronic fans slobber all over him?
It's about management of personnel. I understand that some people might not be familiar with the finer points of leadership and coaching personnel.

[NC Raven]

Why were we throwing 5 yard outs when we needed two scores. Awful performance.

What's worse is that none of the 5 yard outs were open.

[808 Raven]

The rest of this season needs to be about fixing this team so we can play more than 1 friggin game of good football.

:word

[ravenjoe]

BRING ON THE DRAFT!! It's just too painful to watch this team anymore - penalties, lack of discipline, lack of a sense of urgency, etc, etc In some ways, it looks like Billick ball.

[Dade]

This was an embrassment to say the least... I dont even know where to begin. This team is a joke. Play like a Raven my ass.

[StingerNLG]

I cant get over the offense leisurely walking to the line of scrimmage with just over a minute to go in the game.

Like they just didn't fucking care.

Someone explain to me how this offense helps get us to 10 wins?

[ravenjoe]

The way this O-line has been performing, and our lack of pass rush/pass coverage, this team is lucky to get 10 wins - I predict the Stillers will deal the final death blow on this futile season.

[RavenScallywag]

It's about management of personnel. I understand that some people might not be familiar with the finer points of leadership and coaching personnel.

So should we bench Ray Lewis for the 15 yard facemask penalty that kept the Packers drive alive?

Should we bench Webb because he committed a PI penalty?

If you are playing to win the game, you don't bench Joe until he's playing so badly that no amount of help his teammates give him can save his performance. When the OL played well and receivers got open, Joe began to get into his rhythm. He made some big mistakes at the end, and he needs to correct that, but he's also just a 2nd year QB. This isn't a guy like Rodgers who had 3-4 years to learn under a master class QB, then get out and work his own brand of magic.

I get what you are saying, but I don't think "temporary benching" is the management style that will fix this team.

No single action will fix this or any other team. To each their own.

[ravenjoe]

Btw, when was the last time you saw this team actually want to kick some derrier?! I have not seen any passion in a long, long, long time!

I agree 100%!

[RavenScallywag]

Exactly...that's just why I can't see putting Troy Smith in to finish the game as a worthwhile move.

The only change we make there is going from our best QB to an athletic, different style QB. The receivers are still struggling to get seperation, the OL still sucks, and your OC is still calling shitty plays.

It does nothing except cause controversy.

But, neither of us are the head coach, so there you have it.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Not that anyone cares, but I had Rodgers on my FB24x7 fantasy team. He scored 27.5 points which was a big enough cut into the margin to make me lose by less than 2 points overall. Now from a 7-2 record my FF team has shat itself to four straight losses and either will miss the playoffs or get in as the lowest seed. If the Ravens had played a better game (esp. if they had a lead) Rodgers would've thrown more and gotten me the win here. But I guess it figures along with everything else tonight. :grbac:

[Fanman]

The biggest issue on this team is that it is rapidly regressing since the bye-week. Good teams are getting better, like the Packers. Even marginal teams, like the Dolphins are getting better and pulling upsets. For some reason since the break the Ravens have been unable to put together 4 good qtrs.

Face it, this team has lots of holes and needs some big changes.

Here's a list to start:

1. Find a pass rush
2. Find a shutdown CB that knows how to make a f-ing tackle
3. Get a legit #1 WR...like a Vincent Jackson
4. Get a TE that can catch a ball that is not perfectly thrown

I'm so done w/ Todd Heap and Mark Clayton
