Game Thread: Raiders @ Ravens

**Tyrian** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

Oakland's run D last week was okay for most of it - just they gave up 2 big runs which distorted things a bit.

**Jsmoove** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

Where is this offense on the road?

**akashicrecorder** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

Dickson CAUGHT it!

**ActualSpamBot** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

Can't coach 6'7, 245.

**Irish Raven** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

Nice call Cam

**Paintballguy** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

it's crazy how much better Joe is at home

**MickieB-OM** · 11-11-2012, 12:25 PM

J5 with the TD!

**wickedsolo** · 11-11-2012, 12:26 PM

I don't think I've ever seen them call a QB keeper with Flacco.

Never understood why...dude is 6'6" and change.

Joe's QB rating is like 107 at home and mid-50s on the road. We put up about half the points and half the yards on the road as we do at home. It's a "Thing" for us, unfortunately.

Nice drive. Way to stick with the run and then shock them with a huge pass play. Nice game appearance by Dickson.

Hopefully they maintain this throughout the game.

**Lee Van Cleef** · 11-11-2012, 12:27 PM

Ed Dickson can catch?

So true.

If this offense could show up regularly on the road...Ravens would be VERY tough to beat.

On the plus side, that means that in a weak AFC year like this year, where 11-5 or 12-4 will guarantee you at least one home playoff game, and maybe home field throughout, having a team that is unbeatable at home and 50/50 on the road is a good formula to make the dance.

It'd be nice if Carolina beat Denver and Buffalo beat New England.

True, if we are almost unbeatable at home and win like half our games on the road, that's actually the script for "good" teams these days. It's just a shame when what makes you good at home can't travel with you!
