Nice kick from Hauschka, but Charles makes some nice moves and gets to the 24. He's dangerous.

**myfavoriteboxer** · 09-13-2009, 12:18 PM

kc o line looks terrible.

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:19 PM

1st, shotgun, looked like some sort of bubble screen - Charles hit immediately, gets maybe 1.
2nd and 9, PA, pump fake by Croyle and gets PANCAKED by JJ!! SACK!
3rd and 15, Ravens for some reason take a TO. Dunno why.

**Flipping Birdie** · 09-13-2009, 12:20 PM

So what is it, a total of 1 yard from KC so far?

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:21 PM

3rd and 15, Ravens force Croyle to take a TO. Confused the shit out of him. LOL. They changed looks on defense like 5 times.

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:22 PM

3rd and 15, shotgun empty backfield, Croyle goes for Bradley - short of the first and almost picked. Incomplete.

**52decleetzu** · 09-13-2009, 12:23 PM

They might not get across midfield much less score.

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:23 PM

Carr to return - great punt, huge hangtime - but Carr just kinda runs laterally and then slips. Like to see a little more outta this guy - go north south, son.

**myfavoriteboxer** · 09-13-2009, 12:26 PM

Heh, Detroit is already down 14 after 6 minutes of football.

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:26 PM

1st from the 30, screen to McClain gets 15 - but flags fly. Holding on Mason.
1st and 10 again from the 30, complete to Mason for 12 and another first.

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:29 PM

1st, give to Rice who trips but still gets 4.
2nd and 6, audible called, Rice for another 3-4.
3rd and 2 or 3, Troy in at WR, shotgun empty backfield, complete to Washington for about 10. First down!

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:30 PM

1st from the 37, Rice making moves, gets 7 going off Oher.
2nd and 3.5, PA, Flacco looks off of like 3 guys, no body open, so he goes for 6 and a first. Line is doing incredible out there.

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:32 PM

1st, Willis in, from the 25, screen to LeRon, but falls, gets about 2 yards.
2nd and 8, pass for McGahee was tipped and almost fell right into Mason's hands, lol. Pass thrown to the back shoulder - not good.
3rd, complete to Heap with lots of running room, to the Chiefs 8 and a first down!

**Sephy** · 09-13-2009, 12:34 PM

1st and goal from the 9 it looks like, Rice gets to the 5.
2nd and goal from the 5, Rice falls again (wtf?) and gets to the 3.
3rd from the 3, Ngata in, PA, Flacco dances around, FINDS MCGAHEE, TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!!!!

BIG BEN ESQUE

**Flipping Birdie** · 09-13-2009, 12:34 PM

Flacco looked like Big Jen there. TD!

So for those who couldn't see - the Ravens were in the ultimate heavy set with Ngata in as blocking TE - ran a play action, no one was open. Flacco scrambles left and has Ngata and a few other guys ahead of him, gets pressure, and slips left, and throws across his body to an isolated McGahee with 1 guy at the 3, who goes into the endzone for a TD.

Just a playmaker type throw. As I said - the type of crap we see Roethlisberger do all the damn time. So sweet.

**darb72** · 09-13-2009, 12:36 PM

Don't say things like that Flippin.

I will say that was one of the better plays I've ever seen out of a Raven's QB. Flacco moved around in the pocket, always keeping his eye in the endzone before dumping it down to McGhee for a two or three yard TD.
