GAME THREAD - Ravens/Cardinals - Bird v. Bird

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:11 PM

Great play by Ivy to get that fumble!

1st down Ravens from the 27, Willis breaks a tackle and gets about 7. Willis slowly walks off, looks like a shoulder issue.
2nd and 3, I form, give to Musa who bounces off left tackle and gets about 10 and a first!

1st down from the 44, PA, McNair fumbles but they call it incomplete. He needs to STOP DOING THAT SHIT.
Cardinals are challenging. They could easily lose this. Probably should be incomplete, but I am tired as shit of McNair playing this hold the ball out like a teacup game with 3 defenders around him.

Fumble my butt that was a theft. What a play by IVy

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:15 PM

Thankfully, it stands. The right call, but play smarter, McNair, shit.

**darb72** · 09-23-2007, 02:16 PM

McNair needs to quit the damn fumbling.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:16 PM

2nd and 10 from the 44, I form, PA screen again to Musa, gets about 6-7.
3rd and 3, I form, complete to Clayton to the Cards 40 and a first.

**StingerNLG** · 09-23-2007, 02:16 PM

Ok, what a stupid, STUPID move. Good thing that was incomplete.

On the other end, Willis is the man.

Anyone hear on TV why Kurt Warner keeps popping into the game?

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:17 PM

1st, I form, give to McGahee who cuts back, all the way down to the 26! Gain of 14 or 15! Guy is really quick.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:17 PM

Stinger: They say it is just a change of pace, but I think they're losing confidence in Leinart.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:19 PM

1st from the 26, I form, McGahee off tackle left for a gain of 3.
2nd and 7, McNair goes to the endzone for Mason, who is thrown down long after the play was over, but no call. Cardinals are really getting away with a LOT of penalties today.
3rd and 7, shotgun, draw to Musa loses a yard. Complete give up call. Why don't they go for it?

Stover on from 43, and it is good. 23-6 Ravens. 17 point game.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:22 PM

Kick returned to the 29.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:23 PM

Warner still in.

1st, deep for Boldin, goes out at the Ravens 41. End of the third quarter. VERY poor coverage by Ivy on that play.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:25 PM

1st and 10 from the Ravens 41, Boldin down to the 26-27. First down. PRESSURE. WARNER.

**StingerNLG** · 09-23-2007, 02:26 PM

Don't know if it means anything, but Kyle Boller is warming up on the sideline.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:26 PM

1st, from the 26, caught by Benneman for 5-6.
2nd and 4, wide open is Fitz, down to the 5.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:29 PM

1st and goal from the 5, Shipp nailed in the backfield, loses 1-2.
2nd and goal from the 6, shovel pass to Boldin read well, gets 1.
3rd and goal from the 5, caught by Boldin, touchdown. He spikes the ball almost exactly how D-Will did, and gets flagged for taunting. 15 yarder.

23-13 Ravens. Piss poor job by Sapp to cover Boldin on that play.

**UKRavenStockers** · 09-23-2007, 02:31 PM

Have we gone prevent or are the Cards just starting to get it together in the passing game?

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:32 PM

Figurs takes it to the 40! So fast.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:33 PM

They're not putting any pressure on Warner, Stockers. They're not rushing more than 5, but their guys are getting open very quickly, and the coverage has been very weak.
