Rocky 1st Quarter D, Then Lights Out.

[vmax]

The Ravens defense could not get off the field in the 1st half. They couldn't get any pressure on the QB and the Titans were running the ball.

but then they came together and played well.

I feel good for the secondary and their effort.

OK...the Titans are horrible.

 

 

Game ball: Ravens' defense. After a rocky start, the Ravens made Zach Mettenberger look like a rookie making his first NFL road start. The Ravens forced seven three-and-outs in the final three quarters. The defense allowed 45 yards in the second half, and it didn't give up a first down until there was five minutes left in the game. In total, the Ravens recorded five sacks and two turnovers. http://espn.go.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/15216/rapid-reaction-baltimore-ravens-22

Big deal, it was the Titans, and Oh wasn't Zack maing his first road start? They are always lights out against piss poor teams, but no where to be found, Suggs & Dumervil I speak of, against good teams when the defense needs a stop.....

Offensive line needs to learn how to pick up a blitz during the bye week. Flacco was getting hammered. When Flacco gets rushed, it seems like everything goes downhill, inaccurate passes, dropped catches by the receivers, throws the entire timing of the offense off.

Agree. Also, that's what's lacking from our own D when we play good teams.

That happens when Joe isn't as rushed as well. There was one play in 2d half with Forsett wide open on a swing pass and Joe missed him by 10 yards. He had time but Forsett could have gained a big one. Joe seems to have gone backwards since SB 47. He's always locking on to his receivers.

We can't control who we play. How ya think cinncy felt week 1 of the 08 season knowing they were facing a qb that was 2 weeks prior was 3rd string.
