GAME THREAD - Ravens/Broncos

**Stumpy** · 11-01-2009, 12:35 PM

Hey Haushka made one... I know the Minn game wasn't his fault. I'm still bitter.

**RavenScallywag** · 11-01-2009, 12:35 PM

btw, the dumb blonde bimbo had a big argument on her show where, even though Rice LEADS THE NFL IN YARDS FROM SCRIMMAGE...She STILL claims McGahee is the best RB on the team, wants him to get more opportunities...

yeah, let's keep giving him the ball for lost yards.

Why does our offense always look like shit to start the game.

2 drives in a row with great field position and they continue to melt down.

Lol, I really, really doubt that.

Hauschka with a MUCH better kick deep in the endzone, but Royal takes it out and is swarmed by Ravens at the 12. NICE.

**RavenScallywag** · 11-01-2009, 12:36 PM

And a GREAT KO by Hauschka...Royal got maybe 10 yards on KO return.

**Sephy** · 11-01-2009, 12:37 PM

1st, Orton PA, pressured, rolls right, gets a block and runs for about 10. Pryce held terribly again.

**Sephy** · 11-01-2009, 12:38 PM

1st, Buckhalter for about 3. Ellerbe manhandled a Broncos OLman.

That ends the first.

I've called in from Hanover, PA and made this argument but it fell on deaf ears....

Not impressed with the offense in the 1st quarter. Not being able to move down the field against this Bronco defense is a little disconcerting. The defense has been on the field too much here.

**Marcel#52** · 11-01-2009, 12:41 PM

Where is the Offense?.. The D seems pumped.. but the O needs to get hot now..

**Sephy** · 11-01-2009, 12:41 PM

2nd and 7, Buckhalter for a couple more.
3rd and 4, Orton inc for Royal over the middle. Bad throw.

Harris on the ground hurt. That could be big. Doesn't look bad though.

Its the playcalling and Flacco....he just doesn't play as well at home as he does on the road IMO...

**Sephy** · 11-01-2009, 12:44 PM

Harris walks off.

Carr catches at the 42 and gets blown up. But holds on.

It's also the fact that Denver has one of the best defensive units in football.

**RavenScallywag** · 11-01-2009, 12:46 PM

Flacco is throwing them too high...at least he's not throwing low and risking the INT.

**4G63** · 11-01-2009, 12:46 PM

Didn't Joe throw high in the KC and Cincy games?

**PSMD410** · 11-01-2009, 12:47 PM

Damn Broncos have a tough D.

**Sephy** · 11-01-2009, 12:47 PM

What is Flacco doing wrong, exactly? He's playing fine. I've seen only one bad throw - and that's the one to heap.

1st, Rice for 2.
2nd and 8, Flacco overthrows Clayton. Now that was a poor throw.
3rd and 8, little dump to Heap who gets cut off by Dawkins. That had a shot if it was a poorer tackler.

Punt goes out at the 24.

Still puzzled by the calls by Cameron.
