Naked boot, Stafford under pressure heaves one down field Williams breaks it up, 5:53, 2nd and 10

Run off left tackle gets 6 Pass, Stafford pressured, no one open, he throws it away Stone blows coverage, wide open Puka for 17

Wow, what a turn of events, off sides, late call, on Ravens, first down Rams, special teams let's us down again

Now if the defense can wake up Touchback on the kickoff Hamilton is back in Run up the middle for 3 Throw over the middle for 4 3rd and 3 Wide receiver screen loses 2, nice work. Good punt, better return by Duv, Ravens take over at their 35 Time to take this game over The Rams backers are dropping wide in coverage leaving the middle wide open, send Likley down the seam!

9:40 left in the half Clearly the Ravens offense has seen holes in the Rams deep coverage, and are taking advantage of it. Lamar is doing a nice job stepping up, the protection has been stellar so far, giving him room to step up, lanes to escape. Hope it continues.

Touchback on the kickoff Jackson on a read option, dances around, cuts back, gets 11 Jackson keeps it again, gain of 2, no one fooled Fires over the middle to Obj, incomplete 3rd and 8 Pass to the flat, high, nice catch by Flowers, who turns it into a 17 yard gain Steps up in the pocket, heaves one to an open Obj, who makes a great adjustment, dives, rolls into the endzone, touchdown Ravens! 48 yards! 14-10 Ravens!

Sweep right nets 5, 3rd and 2 Right tackle for Rams is out Jump ball down field for 22 yards, add 15 for a personal foul hit, bogus, on Williams Rams are using every second of play clock Naked boot leaves Cupp wide open, he gets to the 2, after 27 yard gain Timeout Rams Ravens are playing like the team coming east for a 1 pm game Run up the middle for no gain 2nd and goal Quick snap, false start, back em up 5 2nd and goal from the 7 Pass, no one open, he throws it away 3rd and goal from the 7 Blitz, Stafford finds Cupp in the corner, Williams beat 10-7 Rams 12:01 left in the half

Hamilton is heading for xrays.. not good on a non contact injury to the knee

Oh and my wifi works wonderful, anywhere in the house, up load or down load, no matter how many of us ate using it, go comcast

Rain and no light rail has not damped the crowd Run off the left gets 3, Hamilton is hurt with 3 seconds left in the 1st Looks like his left leg, walks off under his own power, end of 1st quarter

That is a play Todd ran often in Georgia getting his tightend wide open for easy scores.

7-3 Ravens with 25 seconds left in the 1st quarter

Sorry, had to pause the game for a break in the rain. After a 17 yard catch & run, the defense had enough. A quick pass for 5 where Hamilton knocked Puka, not Pikachu, into next year, they force and incomplete pass then Madebeke gets a sack to force a punt. Good return sets Ravens up at their 34 Run off the right nets Mitchel 6 Mitchel stumbles through the A gap for a gain of 7 Likely wide open, runs 54 yards for a touchdown Ravens! Stanely is out by the way, Mekari in for him

Steps up in the pocket, throws one deep to a double covered Bateman who got behind, too far. Another pass, Lamar sacked. Jeepers, just freaking run! Avoids a sack nicely, but can't, nay, won't run away from another one and throws it away. Good punt by Stout down to their 10, fair catch Lamar had room to run if he had taken off, easy first down

Kick off is a touchback Lamar plenty of time, Flowers late, incomplete had Bateman open deep All day again, flips one to Obj who makes a great adjustment to the poorly thrown pass for 15

I prefer CBS, better camera coverage, ABC/ESPN, Disney will pick it up, which sucks..

Well, the vaunted run defense was no where to be found, atheist the pass coverage in the redzone was solid. Now can the offense keep their 2nd drive alive...

First pass was rushed, incomplete, 2nd and goal from the 10 Pass again, too far into the corner, incomplete good coverage by Hamilton Blitz forces a throw away. Thankfully they stopped running, settle for 3, 27 yard attempt is good, 3-0 Rams, 5:35 left in the 1st quarter

All runs so far, time to step up defense, don't get lulled Another run off the right, gain of 3, plus 15 for a face mask Run up the middle again, runs over Williams, gain of 12

Run off the right guard gets 5 Run off the left guard, gets 10 He bounces to the right for a gain of 4 Another big gain off the right guard, nice cut back for 10 Gain of 3 End around gets 8 more

Nice swing pass to Mitchel who gets to top speed quickly for 9 Naked boot, pass to Likely for a catch & run for 7 Mitchel to the right gets 1, 3rd and 2 Gus up the middle looked good but stopped short 4th and a long 1. Good punt by Stout to the Rams 20, excellent coverage, 4 yard at best, return

Mistake #1, returning the kick from 6 yards deep in the endzone. Special teams once again make a mistake Nice run by Gus off the left side from their own 15, for 3 yards

Boo, hiss, Fox has the game.. oy

2 hands on the ball, don't fight for extra yards, the water will soften the fall, so hang onto the ball at all costs

Sometimes it is just a case of needing a fresh start. As for the linemen, the team was never big on paying large sums to interior players, centers, guards. Now, Ozzie did screw up with some of his offensive linemen signings, Searcy, Swayne come to mind. Yes, letting Jensen walk was another mistake. It was not all motivation from the coach or lack there of, it was a front office decision. Had the front office made better choices on the line, the Ravens might have repeated back in 2000, 2001.
