3 Players - JJ, Suggs, Redding. That constitutes almost half of your starting front 7.

You're not running as "bend-but-don't-break" when you have 7-8 players in the box on every play.

Maybe now Cam is done with his scripted plays so they can open up the offense a little.

Hope the offense can score 27. That will be enough to win.

JJ and Suggs have consistently been amongst the best run defenders in the league for seasons. They didn't bite inside or get reach blocked like Kruger and company. I have to think with them we'd give up a significant amount less on the outside.

That wasn't a non- contact play. His knee hit Bryant.

The thing that concerns me is Webb's body language. He's torn an ACL before, so he knows. The fact that he didn't make any attempt to get up is scary.

lets go Flacco. You are gonna have to win this one for us

Hardly, Dallas defense is in the backfield on every play as well.

Shut the fuck up. It's one thing to be right. It's another thing to continually shit all over the team and be happy about it. If you're a Ravens fan admit that we suck now, but hope and root for us to do better.

Stupid thought but ever notice the Ravens have never played well in pink gear?

Flacco's really got to step up with the rest of O. It's on them - Ngata's banged up as is Webb. No Suggs yet, either. The D's the weakest since 2007.

Ignore is a good thing.

We always seem to suck wearing purple with black.

**MickieB-OM** · 10-14-2012, 12:57 PM

well, another 100+ yds of rushing in the first half! wow. just wow. Thought I'd never see that against the Ravens D.

Now, Haloti's right Knee. Sheesh, we're in trouble.

Pees has gone on record saying he doesn't care about stats outside of the redzone. He has always run a bend but don't break scheme and it always sucks. And yeah, three guys but that still doesn't explain the drop-off we've seen this season.
