He played Sunday when they yanked Williams who was shell shocked. He should be ok for Saturday.

Here comes Derrick Mason. Hensley says the Ravens won't miss him...

Have to have a dependable kicker this time of year. The competition steps up in the playoffs and games are won or lost by field goals

Exactly. I want that #2 seed and a home playoff game. Then a Patriots loss..which is unrealistic. Do not want to see the Chargers anytime soon.

I'm not going to make any excuses for Joes performance Sunday night. It wasn't good. On todays Kornheiser radio show, he said that he asked Derrik Mason who was the better QB...Flacco or Sanchez?...since Derrick had played with both. Derrick said it's not even close. Flacco.

Is he alive? Back broken? Paralized?

*snicker*

At least sit him on 3rd down.

35 passing attempts to 14 rushes...sad. Worse ye...t they only averaged 5.7 YPP when they were getting 6.1 ypc running the ball. The Chargers were all over Ray Rice, so the best way to get him the ball was to hand it to him. Pound the ball, move the chains, eat clock, keep Rivers off the field, give the D a rest and time to regroup...but noooooooooooo....

tsylvester...enjoyed your perspective. This is definately a "glass half full" take on the situation.... Before the season began I saw all the weaknesses but I thought they could make the playoffs (not Super Bowl). Expectation met. Home Field began to loom as a very real possibility: Expectation got higher for me. What I overlooked and what last night doesn't account for, is the loss to a really bad Jaguar team, decent Seattle team and a Titan team where Hasselbeck had one of his best games and gave Turner and Rivers the blue print for beating the Ravens. Win 2 out of those 3 games...and they should have with the roster that they have, and the Ravens are staring at Home Field in the playoffs. Even with a loss last night Home Field gives this semi rebuilding/reloading team a damn good chance at making it to the Super Bowl. But they blew it....in Jacksonville, Seattle and Nashville. You never know when your going to win a Super Bowl. So this is the team we have to root for...weaknesses and all. I can care less about next years team. There's no guarantee that they will be better. I sure hope they are better than this lot. So as a fan...and for the 2011 Ravens team...the time is now. Last night was a big step back. It was how they lost. Not just a loss where they played well but fell short. They did not show up and were beaten bad. The fan in me says they can still go all the way. The realist, the objective football fan in me sees too many shortcommings for that to happen. Actually that part of me says it would take a miracle...with Flacco, Cammeron, the O line, Ray Lewis, Reed, Williams, Smith and Cundiff being like they are right now...can't overcome it. Yea...this has been a great season for me too and it's not over.

The Ravens didn't show up in San Diego. When they go on the road, their luggage and uniforms arrieve but it's a different set of players in the uniforms. Did they all go "Chris McAlister" in San Diego? They played like it. Flacco was having 'Blonde' moments all night, Pagano's D couldn't stop a drive. Leaders needed to step up, nobody did. One of the things playoff caliber and championship teams accomplish during a season is that they finds ways to win on the road. The 2011 Ravens find ways to get embarrassed on the road. They are not going all the way this year. Not even deep. They don't have what it takes despite a very talented roster. It falls on the players because they didn't execute but there's a coaching problem here. It definately was upset Sunday yesterday.

Shaving mine in the morning.

More Blonde Moments for Joe.

The D is getting an ass whooping.

Ballgame. Upset Sunday.

Joe Flacco has his Blonde moment.

Defense Nonsense. The Chargers have scored every time they had the ball.

For whatever reason this is not a road team this year...and as we watch home field slip away, that does not bode well.

Opening drive of the 3rd quarter will set the tone for the rest of the game. The Ravens have to win the 3rd quarter to have a shot now. They are not matching the Chargers intensity and aggression. The Chargers are going 'all out' to win.

Thank You! I saw that too.

Reed has disappeared. He's a missing person. He could have prevented some of those deep receptions. We're in trouble. The Ravens need points and all the offense can come up with is 7.

The D needs a stop. 10-7...don't need another Charger score before the half...they get the ball to start the 3rd.

De-cleeter by Ray...but they can't have him covering Gates. chalk the 3 up to Suggs head slap.
