Game Thread - Playoffs-Round Two

Flacco almost looks pissed talking to Cam on sideline....that makes sense I guess.

**StingerNLG** · 01-16-2010, 09:04 PM

Look at that, another short yardage first down.

So frustrating to watch a real offense work.

**RavenScallywag** · 01-16-2010, 09:05 PM

WOOOO, I don't care if we're still down, seeing Manning choose to fall down instead of being hit by Ngata, priceless

Of course then they almost have HUGE completion to Collie, but overthrown.

Lucky stop there, Garcon HAD THAT 1st down, but dropped the ball

**hurting** · 01-16-2010, 09:05 PM

oh my god. that pu**y did not just fall to avoid a sack did he!

**Stumpy** · 01-16-2010, 09:05 PM

Was that a brown stain on the back of Peyton's pants???

**Stumpy** · 01-16-2010, 09:06 PM

Nice play by Fabian

Maybe Flacco should use some of that on his teammates!

Thanks goodness a lucky break for us!

No, last week was what it was. I probably wouldn't have thrown the ball 10 times after building up a 24 point lead. Dang sure wouldn't with the stable of running backs we have.

We don't throw on first down. We don't throw more than six yards down field. We rarely play-action. Our offense is just way to plain and it's always been that way.

**Stumpy** · 01-16-2010, 09:07 PM

Was that helmet to helmet????

**4G63** · 01-16-2010, 09:07 PM

I really like that Flacco is getting into it with Cam. I also think we should have gone for it on 4th-down at midfield.....oh well.

It would be enough if we could even have an expectation of being competitive.

**RavensInBrazil** · 01-16-2010, 09:08 PM

Where's the helmet-to-helmet against Carr??

LOL

This game is sad. I can't watch another Colts game in my life

**RavenScallywag** · 01-16-2010, 09:08 PM

we didn't get the memo, teams are actually allowed to "knock our blocks off". We're just not allowed to touch their helmets...AT ALL. Like if you help a guy up after a 1st down and pat his head, that's a 15 yard penalty for helmet to helmet. Because obviously we confused our hand with our head.

LOL

Well, and the reason is very clear. When you have basically one decent receiver on the field at all times, and nothing else, how can you? We have changed OC's, we have a young rocket armed QB, and a running back that can help sell the play-action. But no one to get open to throw to.

**StingerNLG** · 01-16-2010, 09:09 PM

Hey look. Run on 1st down.

I bet they do it again next time!

**ravenwoman** · 01-16-2010, 09:10 PM

Why didn't Ngata fall on Manning, like Siragusa did on Rich Gannon? Just because the QB falls to the ground doesn't mean the play is dead. A defender has to touch him, right?

An excellent point. However, my counter argument was just displayed to a national audience. 2nd and one, Colts load up to stop the run. Why do we not at least attempt a play-action?

**4G63** · 01-16-2010, 09:11 PM

I really want to see the whole book throw at the Colts now......I don't give a fuck anymore! There is no NEXT WEEK! We've got nothing to lose at this point!!

you kidding me? The refs might actually just call a no-name penalty on us...

They'll just say "Penalty, Ravens...whatever you want it to be...15 yards, 1st down"
