Dammit!! Play took too long to develop!!!

**Sephy** · 09-21-2008, 03:55 PM

1st from the 47, pitch to Willis, thrown back to Flacco, goes deep for Mason, and picked in the endzone. Mason was open but he would have had to thrown it ridiculously far. Ugh.

Why go so nuts with trickery right now?

I agree...dink and dunk is fine by me....

Willis' throwback was also behind Flacco and took way too long. Recipe for disaster. Had Flacco been able to get it where he was positioned and been able to step up that could have been a TD.

I like that playcall actually, at some point Flacco has to try and blow the top off that Cleveland pass D. The problem was the execution was very slow and you could see it coming all the way.

It wasn't a terrible throw, but Mason was pretty well covered.

I think Cam may be getting a little too cute now.

1st, DA has a ton of time, finally with Ngata getting through dumps to Vickers, incomplete.
2nd, false start.
2nd and 15, give to Jamal who is swallowed for 2.
3rd and 13, Cleveland calls a TO.

Agreed....we don't need to do a trick play every 5th snap!

**Lee Van Cleef** · 09-21-2008, 04:01 PM

Throwing it into triple coverage was a big risk and maybe Flacco should have called it off. Either way, it's happened and we need a stop now.

**Sephy** · 09-21-2008, 04:01 PM

TO was charged to the Ravens. I thought they called it.
3rd, penalty false start again.
3rd and 18, Anderson smacked as he throws and it falls way short. Nice run by JJ.

**4G63** · 09-21-2008, 04:02 PM

Good pressure...DA with the incomplete pass....we get the ball back!

**Sephy** · 09-21-2008, 04:02 PM

Punt is shanked - Ravens get it at the 45!

**Lee Van Cleef** · 09-21-2008, 04:03 PM

The pressure only just got there then. For an O-line that's supposedly not playing well they are doing a decent job of slowing down the blitz, and the playcalling is getting the ball out quickly to help nullify it.

**4G63** · 09-21-2008, 04:05 PM

I don't like these tosses to the RB 8+ yds behind the LOS...

**Sephy** · 09-21-2008, 04:05 PM

1st, toss for 3 or 4 for Willis.
2nd and 6, play just got off before the clock, complete to Mason for 7. Flag down. Illegal shift.

**4G63** · 09-21-2008, 04:07 PM

What a good throw and catch by Mason!

**Sephy** · 09-21-2008, 04:07 PM

2nd and 11, handoff to Willis for 1.
3rd and 10, Flacco buys time, steps up, and NAILS Mason across the middle for 15 and a first! What a dart! That arm makes the play.
