Game Thread - Playoffs-Round Two

**RavenScallywag** · 01-16-2010, 10:10 PM

Way to end the season...4th down conversion failed, but hey, Colts dove and got the INT instead!

Nice try guys

**StingerNLG** · 01-16-2010, 10:10 PM

And a fitting end to the season.

**RavenScallywag** · 01-16-2010, 10:11 PM

Our worst blowout of the season, 20-3?

Is that progress? Last time we played here, it was 31-3

**StingerNLG** · 01-16-2010, 10:12 PM

Three

fucking

points.

Absolutely embarrassing. 100% embarrasing.

**4G63** · 01-16-2010, 10:13 PM

6 dropped passes. That's an awesome stat.

Chargers for the SB.

**darb72** · 01-16-2010, 10:14 PM

Hey, Yes Man is on HBO west.

I'm gonna watch that and forget this happened.

Yeah, what the fuck was that? On Ellerbe, I mean. 17 points behind, and that? That must be one of those character issues he has that you always hear about.

Yeah, the "we get no respect" threads go nowhere if the team doesn't deserve any.

No, still only 3 points.

Seriously, what's our scoring average against the Colts in recent years? Lately, it feels like it isn't Manning who is beating the Ravens, but their defense.

**Flipping Birdie** · 01-16-2010, 10:17 PM

I'll probably be rooting for the Colts from here on out. Character goes a long way for me, Manning has it and there is no way in hell I'm rooting to Rivers. I hate that guy.

Once again Rice was our leading receiver in catches, and almost in yards.

Mark Clayton the playmaker, zero catches AGAIN.

That was so fucking utterly painful, the only thing I can do to keep from going Incredible Hulk and punching a hole in the wall is to laugh.

Laugh at the Steelers fans that haven't been paying attention for the last two weeks.

Laugh at the Pats fans that thought we had no chance.

Laugh at the Redskins fans that...well, do Redskins fans even exist anymore? I'm talking real fans, not people that have a Cooley jersey and catch a few games every year.

Laugh at Rams fans, they did this 15 times this year.

Laugh at Browns fans, they suck really bad. And their team's name sounds like poop.

Laugh at Bengals fans, they can't even sell out their games.

Just take a few minutes, take a deep breath, be thankful that you are a Ravens fan, be thankful that our city is as awesome as it is, and most of all be thankful that you are not from Pittsburgh.

Well if Mason retires we need 2 good WRs. Clayton is a slot WR at best.

Yeah, Clayton does a better job at vanishing than a Vegas magician. I would've liked to have seen Tyree get thrown into the receiving mix every now and then, instead of strictly on ST. What's the worst he could do? Zero receptions, right? We already have that with Clayton.

**UKRavenGordon** · 01-16-2010, 10:21 PM

Just got a text from UKRaven Stockers reminding me the last Raven to score a TD against Indy....

Troy Smith..... Yep.

**RavenScallywag** · 01-16-2010, 10:22 PM

We really need to find consistency on offense...

1 - I think something needs to be done about Rice and fumbling. He's coughed it up a few times while trying to find his elusive hole.

2 - You can't have a great offense built on a running game if you can't make the passing game work once in awhile. We can only make it work against bad teams. We need to be halfway decent passing against good teams

3 - John Matsko...Watch all 18 games and figure out why our OL falls apart after 3 seconds. Then FIX IT!

A side note on the defense...

1 - Clarence Brooks. Get with Mattison and figure out why our DL can't get to a QB in 3 seconds...Actually, figure out why we can't get to them after 8 seconds, but then make sure we get to them BEFORE 4 seconds.

2 - Hire a ref consultant to work with our secondary. Focus on what is and is not pass interference/defensive holding/illegal hands. Secondary note, give Frank Walker to wrong directions to this meeting, lock the gates at the Castle, and make sure he LEAVES his playbook

Manning is a pussy after what I saw tonight. QBs make plays, they dont crumple in a fetal position when threatened.
I hate everything the Colts have come to be. The white unis that dont seem to get dirty, the dome. It looks like some weird form of swedish football youd see on a TV at IKEA. I hate the steelers, but I respect the way they play the game.

I've screamed at Walker all year - minus the past two games.

If we can get ONE DECENT WR in the draft...I can be ok with a WR corps of Clayton, DWil, Kelley Washington, drafted WR, Marcus Smith, and Harper/Riley. We could really benefit from a #1 WR, but we've had good success without one before. Kelley was a hell of a WR this year, and DWil continues to show flashes without the consistency.

That said, I'd still love to get Marshall for a 1st.
