It is 2 yrs late.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-ravens-steelers-preston-report20101205,0,2137526.story Going by what an expert sees more of the problem is coaching OL and RB. I had concerns about McClain being out. It screws your pass protection up and doesn't allow for the RB's to get going.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-derrick-mason-disappointed-1205,0,55524.story This is what I could find.

Of course had they gone for that tough FG and missed then the same people would be critical of that move. Unless it is successful you made a stupid move. You know that.

From what he said it was not about getting balls. I was gathering it was about the problems we have been talking about.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/baltimore-ravens/09000d5d81cae493/Ravens-postgame-press-conference Did not go well. All I can find now is this. Mason said something to the effect that why did I come back. He was cursing up a storm. I can't find that now. I am sure it will be out soon.

I thinkyou mean regularly cold running game. Wk1 49 yds Wk2 109 yds Wk3 109 yds Wk4 70 yds Wk5 233 yds - Denver Wk6 94 yds Wk7 135 yds - Buf Wk8 146 yds - Mia Wk9 106 yds Wk10 100 yds - Car Wk11 92 yds Wk12 41 yds So the solid to great run performances are against bad teams. They have really bad running problems.

So a brutal game that saw lots of injuries. The w-l record of a team that plays the squeelers or ravens the next week is not good. So The Ravens obviously played the squeelers and next week is Houston. Houston will be coming off 12 days rest. Nice mini bye. OK the x's and o's as I see them. Who in the hell will cover johnson? They also have Walter who is a very solid WR. Schaub is a very good QB which has been an issue for the D this season. Foster is a RB that will get off if given the chance. The run D has not been spectacular this yr. Their D sucks on ice. Joe and co should be able to score at will. So this will be a score fest. The question is will the offense go into their regular slumber during the game? I have not seen a game this yr where they do not so I have to say yes. So I will go with the early prediction 31-27 Texans.

I see it as the playcalling. We go from a wide open offense that moves to a more formulaic run style that this OL can't do. Did you see during the game how Chester was being ripped to shreds? He is about useless out there.

I can agree with that. This team cannot run block. Can started trying to force the run game in the 2nd half.

Hey we have another one. Keep saying it and the front office will actually see how bad he is.

From someone who was there he said that ball was tipped. If so what can Joe do?

I thought I was the resident negative guy. OK so I guess Cam has given all play calling over to Joe now. Yeah I guess he hands the ball off and helps the porous OL blocking.

Ben was sick in the 2nd half. As much of a dislike for him I have he was amazing.

I guess it was Flacco's fault that Rice didn't get more than 32 yds rushing.

It looked like Flacco was going to throw the ball. His blockers allowed a passrusher in unmolested. Also Rice let Farior in for a sack.

Please explain to me what Joe did wrong. His protection was not good in the 4th especially.

like I said game over. I think I won $75 gift cert to the crack pipe.

Damn where is the Brady call on that one. Looks very muck like the one Suggs got flagged on.

Game over.

That is why Ben is so good.

4 down ter.

Troy the best safety in the league.

Whenever he is on the field.

Damn Haloti just drove that dude like a car.
