Other than that it was windy and cold as shit.... I loved seeing Tyrod in the wildcat...the Ravens had to do something to run the ball.... But it really didn't gain a lot of yards and other than Taylors big run....no big gains. Now Joe just stood there trying to stay warm...I say do the same for 2 or 3 times vs the Steelers then Joe needs to do a Torry Smith at the line and take off downfield as Taylor lofts him the TD pass. D looked good. By the 2nd quarter I felt like the Yets would not score again. Darryl Smith is one bad MOFO. Did he break up 3 straight passes at the end to be a 1 man 3 and out for Geno Smith. Speaking of Geno Smith....this guy has nothing and looked lost. They had a better chance to win with Cribbs at QB. Damn it was windy and cold! I saw dozens of fans with boogie ice cycles hanging from their noses. Ray Rice is up to 1.9 ypc this week. Up from 1.6...that's Harbaugh's influence..."We're going to get better each week!" Jacoby Jones!!!! Vintage Flacco to Jones on that TD with Ed Reed grasping at Jones's ankles as he crossed the goal line. He is so much fun to watch! He did his dance...gave a big smile to the fans on the jumbotron....and saved the return game...worth thew price of admission. Is Tucker the Bomb or what!?! 4 for 4 in all that wind and cold! Did I say it was cold and windy? It took guys an extra 10 minutes in the Men's room looking for you know what... Here's my testament to Tucker. On one of his FG attempts, I started to head for the Men's room just like I used to when Stover took the field. First time I've done that since Automatic Matt. Tucker has totally won me over.
At the moment, with the Dolphins and Yets losing, everybody is 5-6 with the Steelers holding the 6th seed. It doesn't get any better than this. The season's over for whoever loses.
There is a limit to the amount of work that you do in a 24 hour period and remaining productive.. Over work many times is unproductive. Sleep and rest are necessities....and being with your family. I hope Harbs and his coaches are not burned out game day....but it would explain some of the "bonks".
Tie 26-26 game...2 seconds left...BC facing a 52 yard FG attempt....strong swirling winds...at the kickers back.....as the BC kicker goes in stride Edsel calls a time out...AND THE KICK WENT WIDE LEFT! The dumb MoFO tried to ice the kicker who is one of the best in the NCAA....hasn't missed one all year. You do not give a guy like that time to figure it out and basically give him a practice kick. Of course the follow up was dead on....distance was never going to be a problem. Maryland loses.
The Myth was better than the man. He's really just somebody to laugh at now. He wanted "Broadway Schmoe" Sanchez and Geno Smith and he can't beat the Ravens...you can have him.
"The Jets have the 29th ranked passing attack in the NFL, so if the Ravens crowd the line of scrimmage and take away running backs Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell, then Smith has to beat them. He can't." "Are you Sure?"
We have all been here before We have all been here before We have all been here before We have all been here before We have all been here before Perfect title for this thread the way that it's heading.
My guess: food poisoning. Ozzie ate the same food that the Ravens players ate during the break....they were dosed. Speaking of that....how the hell do you wolf down food and then go out and play football? That's what the Ravens did during the break. Maybe Harbaugh needs to look at that because once every 5-6 games they have an inexplicably long game delay.
Joe earned his fair share of the blame in yesterdays loss. If there's no turnovers on his part, then the Ravens win easy. But remember....the defense did give up 23 points.
