GAME THREAD - Week 2 - Titans

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Titans have absolutely dominated this game. This team obviously needed to be humbled like this after reading all their press clippings all week.

[Maverick Hiker]

Game over. Pathetic secondary in this game. Making Hasselbeck look like Johnny U.

[QuothDaRaven]

They're throwing the ball because we can't stop it. Plain and simple.

[Iscull]

10 Yards off receiver. IDK whats worse. the 3 man rush or the 10 yards off receiver.

[baltimore_hokie]

This was the Bengals game from last year after a big win against the Jets.

[Iscull]

This is a real shame we pissed it away. Horrible game planning. Absolutely terrible.

[houstonravensfan]

A DC who was a seecondary coach can not defend against the pass . . .

[AmericanMoose723]

I think I'm just gonna stop watching the Ravens week 2 games

[QuothDaRaven]

After the early turnover when Suggs picked it up, I was feeling so sure we would dominate. Sigh.... this is going to ruin the week.

[Knox Harrington]

One of the most pathetic performances/game plans I've seen in the history of the ravens. Harbaugh/Cameron/Pagano should walk home

[AmericanMoose723]

I don't know the stats but the Titans 3rd down conversion rates and Britt's line must be sick

[Maverick Hiker]

Titans have absolutely dominated this game. This team obviously needed to be humbled like this after reading all their press clippings all week.

I thought that too. The Sports Illustrated Cover jinx.

Harbaugh should have had them better prepared for this game. The same thing happened last year in the 2nd game after a big W against the Jets losing to a bad Bengals team on the road.

Reed and Foxworth have had terrible games.

[bmorebirds_24]

But guys we beat Pittsburgh! :192214:

[bmoreravengirl]

Damn, I feel sick!!!

Join the club.

[akashicrecorder]

This game was beyond pathetic.

[StingerNLG]

Great call on de-activating Chykie Brown today coach. When your high-paid-half-a-cornerback gets lit up, you have absolutely NO ONE to turn to. What would have been the difference in letting the rookie try to cover Britt when obviously Foxworth has no ability to?

Why de-activate Tandon Doss if you have no intention of using Torrey Smith?

[Ibravenfan]

Flacco has thrown for less tha 200 yards.
15/32 197 yrds. 1 td. 2 int.
Hasselback
28/40 338 yrds. 1td. 1int.

[wickedsolo]

As bad as our offense was today, our defense did them no favors. At all.

Kenny Britt is a heck of a receiver, but they made Nate Washington, Javon Ringer, and Matt Hasselbeck look like all-stars. Incredible.

Why the heck is Foxworth covering one of the top receivers in the AFC? Did they not CLEARLY see that he's not ready to be out there full time yet? Most of Britt's big catches came against Foxworth, including the TD.

I'm glad we have Foxworth because we obviously need the depth, but put Webb or Cary on the team's best receiver. Don't put a rusty Foxworth.

[QuothDaRaven]

Steelers shut out the Seahawks. Titans have rolled up 400 yards on us. Hasselbeck has not been sacked in 40 pass attempts. NO SACKS IN FORTY F***ING PASS ATTEMPTS!!!

[AmericanMoose723]

I'm much much less excited about going to the game in St. Louis next week :(

Damnit Ravens... now I'm gonna be disappointed all week...

[Ravenous1]

But guys we beat Pittsburgh! :192214:

And we just gave that game away

[QuothDaRaven]

Foxworth on Britt was so pathetic I just had to laugh.

[Ibravenfan]

Total inconsistancy. On one week, off the next week. WTF ?

[QuothDaRaven]

Wow. Embarassing.

[StingerNLG]

That is the story of the game today.

[AmericanMoose723]

Talk about a complete bed shitting...

[wickedsolo]

Completely agree.

We kept David Reed activated...and he had a great kick off return, but we didn't use him at all on offense. I don't understand the personnel moves at all.

They should have anticipated that after last week's performance from our TE's that they were going to be ALL OVER Dickson and Pitta.

[QuothDaRaven]

Jarret Johnson totally confused out there in the middle of nowhere.

[Maverick Hiker]

The Ravens defense has played so poorly against the pass that this loss means more than just losing. It means some personnel changes are necessary.

[houstonravensfan]

I think we are owed apologies from HC, DC, and OC. This was a disgrace.

[Tyrian]

Horrible.

[QuothDaRaven]

One of the most disheartening things was the lack of any halftime adjustments whatsoever. And now that decision to kick a fieldgoal instead of going for it looks great.

[Ngata Nother Suggs]

You know the Titans are going to shit talk after this.

They completely manhandled and bullied the Ravens right out of their house.

[dandrews]

As bad as our offense was today, our defense did them no favors. At all.

Who do you put on Britt? Foxworth, Williams, or Webb? They all stink.

[Maverick Hiker]

Steelers shut out the Seahawks. Titans have rolled up 400 yards on us. Hasselbeck has not been sacked in 40 pass attempts. NO SACKS IN FORTY F***ING PASS ATTEMPTS!!!

Seahawks are pathetic on the road. I still think Pittsburgh is over the hill.

[4G63]

:word

[Ibravenfan]

My bad, guess I was wrong that the Titans will not win this game. :bag:

[Ravenboy2003]

Now whose defense looked "OLD".. Tennesee with almost 500 yards of offense. How sick is that?

And someone ask Suggs whose ass he owed today? Suggs got his ass handed to him.

[Dont Know]

Flacco has thrown for less tha 200 yards.
15/32 197 yrds. 1 td. 2 int.
Hasselback
28/40 338 yrds. 1td. 1int.

Hasselbeck is at 358 yards.

[Ravenous1]

Horrible game plan, horrible execution

As bad as the offense has played I hang this one on the D. There is no way you should allow Matt Hasselbach to light you up like that.

[houstonravensfan]

Pitt and their fans will be feeling good now.

[AmericanMoose723]

Anybody else gonna be in St. Louis next week?

[Knox Harrington]

Totally out coached and outplayed.

[Tyrian]

I#m not sure if this is actually worse than the Bengals game. We edged the Jets but dominated the Steelers (sure Pit was at home). Cin was largely due to a worse-than-inept offense. This performance is all around disgusting.
The 'only' saving grace is that the Titans aren't in the Ravens division.

[4G63]

Why did we bring Vonta Leach to the Ravens and NOT have him on the field on 3rd and 2?!?

[Ibravenfan]

Hasselbeck is at 358 yards.

yes, that was posted a series ago.

[AmericanMoose723]

I don't know what to think of this team now... next 2 games will be very telling...

[QuothDaRaven]

Dammit, I'm so angry at this team. I mean, what the HELL!!! What the HELL!!!!!!!!

[Beerracuda]

Pagano: "We're going to be aggressive...." Yeah right, Chuck. Where was that aggression today?

Cameron: "duhhhhh.... let's try to fool them with runs and short passes down 13 in the 4th. Duhhhh... let's kick a FG when down by 13 in the 4th with 7 minutes left... Duhhhh"

Fucking idiots.

[rpcfball]

this is why we'll be a wildcard team............ if we even get to the playoffs

[baltimore_hokie]

Would everyone rather lose to the Steelers and beat the Titans? We're still 0.5 games up on the Steelers.

[Ngata Nother Suggs]

Rough day for Flacco who wasn't expected to have such a rough day

[QuothDaRaven]

The complete lack of any pressure on Hasselbeck doomed us from the start.

[BleedPurple92]

Lmao wow Flacco is such a scrub sometimes. How does he go from, insanely good to insanely bad just like that?

He isn't a franchise QB, he's a Play action QB, that doesn't know his right from left. Its year 4 Joe inconsistencies wont cut it anymore.

That said the whole offense stunk, the whole team stunk. But Joe to me man its year 4 come on.. IDK what it is...

[Ravenboy2003]

If you're going to lose a game you should win, lose a friggin' game to an NFC team.

Losing an AFC game this early in the season is stupid. Tie breakers are huge (see last season)

[StingerNLG]

It's one thing to lose a game. I can handle a loss. But to absolutely shit the bed on all phases of the game in that loss, is absolutely unacceptable.

The fucking KICKOFF TEAM even got a penalty in this game.

Pathetic offense, pathetic defense that just like last year could not get off the field on 3rd down, and what looked like no heart or passion on the field. When you are down 13 points and you are running on first down, that is absolutely PATHETIC playcalling.

I'm angry about this loss and as a PSL owner I want some answers as to why players that could have contributed on the field today that contributed during pre-season were inactive.

[Ibravenfan]

Hasselback 30/42 358 yrds. 1 int. 1 td.
Flacco 15/32 197 yrds. 1 int. 1 td.

Rice 13 att. 43 yrds.
Williams 1 lost fumble.

[AmericanMoose723]

fitting end to the game...

[QuothDaRaven]

Fitting. Don't get up Flacco. Just lay there.

[Ravenboy2003]

fitting end...

[StingerNLG]

And what a fitting end to his piece of shit game.

[Ngata Nother Suggs]

The Tennessee Turd of 2011

It's not often they have one of those, but they had one today.

[Jayc00]

I echo these comments.

[AmericanMoose723]

Complete lack of heart... gah I'm so disgusted right now.

[jhoff66]

BEN GRUBBS missed him a bit dont you think????

[Ibravenfan]

Titans = 432 yrds. offense.
This D looks old.

The offense, if the receivers cannot get seperation, especially when a play breaks down, well then they are going to lose. (a lot of games)

[houstonravensfan]

BEN GRUBBS missed him a bit dont you think????
Can he play CB?

[bmorebirds_24]

We beat the Steelers! Flacco whooped Big Ben's ass!

Who cares what happens next we won our super bowl.

That's all I heard this week on the fucking radio...Fuck these bums! We shit the bed because we were so fucking jacked we beat Pit. I'm sick of games like this. We were totally destroyed all over the field. Fuck you Foxworth! Cam can kiss my sorry ass.

[QuothDaRaven]

I can't believe this is the same team that destroyed the Steelers.

[QuothDaRaven]

Did we run another screen after the touchdown to Rice????

[Ravenous1]

Just as we should not have gotten so high from the win over the Steelers lets not blow this loss out of perspective. Lots to not like and lots to clean up but it happens to everyone now and then.

Yeah it sucks but both this team and Flacco have shown the ability to right the ship in the past. Rome was not built in a day

[RavenTD]

Ouch.I thought the Ravens were past this sort of letdown.Welcome back acid in the pit of my stomach.:grbac:

[Jeeprx]

Same old,same old cb,ol,qb,oc...emotional home win followed by crap road lose..same old.....

[RockGod]

I couldn't wait to get to this board and I skipped to the last page for post like this.

LOL, I'm a diehard Ravens fan but I never laughed so hard about a Ravens loss then I did today. Not at the Ravens team but at the fans that totally went overboard with last week's win. I didn't want to say it but I knew they would either lose or just barely squeak out a win today. After all I heard during the week and read like Schmucks column about addition by subtraction I knew this game was going to be an explosion of emotions by the fans.

I'm gonna have to say that we have an average team folks. The Ravens had all offseason to prepare for last week and a week to prepare for this week. The team that played last week doesn't play like they did today if they're for real.

I hate to say it but that's what it looks like to me. The coaches had no answer for anything the Titans did. The players couldn't even find it in themselves to do something that would throw the Titans off. They just went out there and said tell me what to do now coach because I can't figure out how to do it on my own.

This is all I'm gonna say about this week but I will be laughing and enjoying the reaction we're all in for this week. Internet, radio, news paper (I don't read it) Oh man and I can't wait for the Flacco and Cam comments. I'll bet this game starts some Harbaugh's got to go threads. Have a great week..LOL

SO what are you saying that has to do with my post?

[RavenTD]

Oh well go watch the Bronco's hopefully beat up on the Bungals for some solace.oh look McGahee running hard.:grbac:

[RockGod]

SO what are you saying that has to do with my post?

It's what I expected.

"F@#K these bums"

"F@#k Foxworth"

"Kiss my ass Cam"

Not that I'm attacking you per say, It's just hilarious to read the reactions when just 6 hours ago this whole state was united behind the team and every part of it.

I haven't heard anyone say eff the whole team. What I've heard is people saying eff the guys who specifically shat the bed today (which were many).

No real reason to come on a Ravens board and taunt and troll your own fan base. You're right--we should be ecstatic about the loss today. We should be even-keeled the whole season, no use for different reactions to blowout wins and half-effort losses.

[NC Raven]

Pagano: "We're going to be aggressive...." Yeah right, Chuck. Where was that aggression today?

Same problem Mattison had last year. How many times can you bring pressure and leave Foxworth out there one on one?

When the other team knows you have a cripple out there at CB, a blitz is nothing more than an invitation to loft one over the cripple's head. They abused him bad enough as it was.

Goes to show a defense can really be undone by one weak segment or even one weak player. This defense didn't look any different than it looked last week after Carr went out -- the difference was last week we were way ahead and Pitt had to play one dimensional. Factor in that Chris Johnson is their most dangerous player and the D had to keep a lot of guys home to deal with him, that doesn't leave a lot of room for sexy blitz combinations.

They hit the plays they needed to, and quite frankly they were playing with house money. A contending team worried about turnovers isn't going to throw up as many jump balls or wing deep shots into double coverage very often. The Titans did that and it happened to work out for them. On average, that isn't good strategy, but it works here and there and today was their day.

Much more concerned that nobody was open for us on offense. The line seemed to hold up well in protection, but Joe had nobody to throw to. Is Cam back to his old tricks of calling poor route combinations that don't create space? We'll find out later in the week after everybody's had a chance to watch the replays of the game and look more closely at it.

Like I tried to say, Ravens play down to lesser teams.
