Our offense is obviously still not helping a shit.

That playcalling on offense is going to invite Ben to win this game. This is absurd how little Boldin and TJ is used.

He was afraid of the tackling, therefore Ben moved past him, he migth have lost the tackling, but what is he doing up there if he just not try.

Important stop.

Nakamura is killing us.

This is pretty much worst case scenario.. I do agree that we have the better personel, and that we have not been very good at capitalizing. I do hate the horrible Steelers cry over the refs, and I fear this more than anything else, the zebras again give the steelers a win, this combined with conservative playcalls is what I fear. Going back I think the refs owe us big time against the steelers, Hinez Ward hits against Woodson and Reed and others, Joey Porter and Harrison who has always been what they are, Clarks and Sweeds hits on McGahee and Ivy in the PO game.. Holmes fanthom TD.. (if not from that we would have been 7-0 in Baltimore against Steelers), their OL seems to get all the calls their way.. holding agaisnt Pryce and others.. And what is wrong with Bens 7-3 record versus Ravens, what can we do when he is missing almost every single game in Baltimore? BS.. they have already their excuse, Ben was hurt, sigh! The fact is he has only one win here, and that was obviously more a defense/zebra win than a Ben win. Ben have only had one great game against us overall, and the way our offense and defense played in 2007, I believe we would have lost anyway, except from that win it has not been him doing much, more their team.. especially their D. Last year when we lost to the Steelers, it was basically us who dominated in every single way, it was also our team who commited penalties -- 113 yards to Pittsburgh's 20, including two TDs wiped out, Masons worst TD-drop ever, Zibbys late return wiped out, Rice fumble just after we had forced a turnover deep in their territory. I do like many thing in this match, our WR/TE against their DBs, RayFuckingRice, their DL and OL seems to be something we can handle. Cundiff and Koch. Suggs, Ngata, Ray, Ed. And hope to see some new warriors in Kruger and Cody. Except from their linebackers I am not impressed with Steelers 2010. I really hope we start fast and our coaches continue to play aggressive, that we not allow the zebras to dominate this game. We need this win if we want to do anything in the POs. Ravens 23-17.

Now come on Offense!

What about that Danny boy.. will he dominate the ACC, hard to say why not? Torrey.. I like him a lot better than DHB, not sure how he ranks?

Btw we have still not given up a TD in the 3 Q.

I am with you ravensnest. As for Harbs speeches.. You have to credtit Ozzie for getting some pretty dominating media people like Billick and now Harbs.. Compare them to the rest of the league; it could be worse.. try Sparano, John Fox, Belicheat, Mangini, Tomlin etc. Most of them hardly communicate to the camera.. but to the ground, door whatever not the camera. Harbs is pro, and he controls, boring, still just like Billick, not afraid of the confrontation.. They almost enjoy it, not afraid of the battle with media and fans.. unlike so many other HCs in the league.

I hate you :biggrin: I am afraid that just migth happend. I would like TJ, Reed and Dixon get more involved in the games and that migth just not happend. And I bet some one on the coaching staff (Harbs) would love Stallworth to be there too.

Yeah Rodney Harrison and now Ray and 30 sacks and Int.

And Ray become the second member of the 30/30 club.

Ed is insane. And Mason reception number 900

This offense sucks, the playcalling too.

First score of the day in the league.. TJ!

It was 9-7 you predicted before the season.. So more than that would be great

And game inactive; Chris Chester inactive for Ravens along with Marcus Smith, Zbikowski, Ellerbe, Arthur Jones, Pitta, McKinney and Divens. So If Moll is starting, Cousins and Mattison? will be the backups. And Cody the only meaningfull backup to Gregg and Ngata.

Same record, no playoffs last year.

This D is just not that talented anymore. Our front seven was dominating and our secondary better now average. 2006 D vs 2010 D.. Then 9 PBers now 4. Pryce.. PBer who played great.. Now Redding who is not even average. Gregg .. Who played at PB level.. Now declining who is not even average Ngata .. Great rookie.. Now outstanding AD.. PBer had his best year ever, dominating.. Now JJ average Ray .. PBer four years younger.. Now four years older Scott .. PBer his Breakout year (btw 5th year in the league).. Now McClain,Ellerbe, Gooden, Philips; average hopefully improvements to come (and btw five years together in the league) Suggs .. PBer.. Now PBer C-Mac .. PBer.. Now Foxworth.. oh IR now who, below average Rolle .. Declining PBer still solid.. Carr, below average Landry .. Rookie.. Now average Reed .. PBer.. Now declining PBer Bold; At least six positions when we had players who dominated, now nothing like that. Tired of the Rex Ryan love, fact is that his units in 2005 and 2007, with much more talent played much worse than last years D.. and you could argue even this 2010 D. Where is all those Rex Ryan players in this defense? Ngata.. Great a firstrounder, impressive and sure Landry, thats is the legacy of the migthy Rex! Okay to be nice you can say JJ and Edwards too. Rex Ryan is the one who had Ed Reed in his prime and Ray still dominating, Rex failed to develop replacements for Pryce, Gregg, AD, Scott, C-mac..(or De Costa, not getting him the talent?) Rex failed in contrast to Lewis and Nolan to develop players like AD, Scott, Gregg, JJ, Edwards... It took a lot of time for them to be starters.. Mattison has not that time, he is the one who now has the same task like Nolan in 2002, to ask young players with limited experience to contribute and btw undrafted players like Carr, McKinney, McClain and Ellerbe.

Thursday Yes. And the season 2010 Yes. 2009 another story, probably only when we faced Brady.

Cravn.. There is no doubt in my mind it is wrong to let Gaither go. Will they bring him back? I doubt, so Oher stepp up, also in pass protection!

Offense: Joe Flacco down 0-13, stepping up and 3 balanced nice TD drives. Defense: Sizzle deserves his money, 2 sacks and a lot of hits. ST: Cundiff and Koch and their units again dominating. Coach: Harbs for coaching a team who has more disciplin now, it was not really competing early in the game, still they found a way in the game. Harbs is pretty cool and balanced after a hard loss, not blaming the world, NFL, refs, dome or other circumstances. What I liked about;Cam and the offense; they have the skills to make a comeback, they are versatile and has a lot of options, I think there is more to come, and they are pretty good to lead a TD drive when you need it. What I liked about;Mattison and the defense; they still can take away the opponents runninggame, they still have the ability after a turnover in Ravens territory to stop the drive. What I liked about; Rosburgh and the ST; the kickoffs and the punt units, game after game. Overall: We are a great team, and we can make it! Check: QB, WR, TE, RB, DL, LB, Kicking units. 3 areas where we struggle; OL, CB and the Return units. Overall the major problem is the CBs, it is evident, especially when we face a balanced team like the Falcons who has a good passingame and a good runninggame, to beat a team like that you need to beat their defense, so we can make them one dimensionel on offense.

LT; Gaither in pass protection better than Oher, runblocking Oher the better, overall the same. LG; Grubbs the same. C; Birk over the hill. RG; Yanda much better than Chester. RT; Oher much better than Yanda. Backup; Chester much better than who ever. The pass protection is okay but the runninggame lacks a lot of power in the short yardage situations.

Good thing though 3 passing TDs in the RZ.
