varaven45 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I don't typically dwell on past games and hate to belabor the point but, man, was Joe Flacco's pick-6 (to Aqib Talib) in the second half a huge game changer or what ?I reviewed the game last night (which was painful to watch at times). At any rate, after Jimmy Smith's pick-6, our D completely took over the game and the momentum was clearly on our side. We were completely in control in the 3rd Q, even the offense was moving the ball (including a few Buck Allen runs). Then BANG ! Joe's pick changed everything - the momentum, Denver D's swagger, crowd noise, and most importantly the score. In my mind, that one singular play is the difference between our being 0-1 and 1-0.

The second this play happened my friend, die hard ravens fan who lives in Florida now, texted me "They are who we thought they are, and we just let them off the hook, we will lose this game" He spoke the truth.

varaven45 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 I thought the same thing but didn't say for fear of being extricated from this site. Such remarks are often judged as "Debby Downer" esque Quote
tsylvester Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I go back to the just miss on the touchdown pass Manning threw to Sanders. If they connect on that one, game would have been long over, blow out style. That miss kept the Ravens in it, as much as Joe's pick, which I agree, changed the game. Quote
vmax Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 With the offense struggling, the only hope for a win, was not to turn the ball over. You're not a Debbie Downer va. There were lots of down moments in that game....127 yards of offense..... Quote
