vmax Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 These guys think so... Jeff Zrebiec, reporter: It was 2013 all over again. The Ravens got off to a terrible start, Joe Flacco made a couple of head-scratching mistakes, and the Ravens totally abandoned their running game. Then, after a long touchdown pass to Steve Smith almost made it all not matter, their defense let down in the fourth quarter, another characteristic of last year's team. The Ravens have long tired of hearing about last year, but this wasn't the way to silence the talk. Flacco said it best. The Ravens didn't play well enough to win the game.Ron Fritz, sports editor: A well-deserved loss by the Ravens. Everyone contributed to this one. What a disappointing start to the season after everyone talked about putting last year behind them. It's fair to ask if this team is better than last year's. Slow start, dropped passes, bad penalties and dumb mistakes -- it sure looks like last year's team.Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-instant-analysis-ravens-cincinnati-bengals-week-1-2014-nfl-season-20140907,0,7915445.story#ixzz3Cff1ZKsR Not another year of this!

tsylvester Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 They only had 3 penalties, seven total between the two teams, but me thinks the NFl madated low flag numbers as there were a number of times a flag should have been throw, for both teams. Last year's team? No, but I am not sure if they a re slightly better or slightly worse..... Quote
thesteelhurtin Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 First game of the season. A lot if time left to figure it out. I wouldn't get too worried yet. Quote
thundercleetz Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I thought the offensive line played really well until the last two plays. Even those two sacks may not have been completely their fault. The run game was there. Kubiak didn't even give the run game a chance in the first half. Quote
