dc. Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Can we at least agree that he choked on the last offensive play of the game? Sure. Can you acknowledge that Joe's three strikes to Boldin are what made that play relevant? Or can you agree that Dawan Landry blew a tackle to stop that situation from even being relevant?
papasmurfbell Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 From someone who was there he said that ball was tipped. If so what can Joe do?
dc. Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 From someone who was there he said that ball was tipped. If so what can Joe do? Rules say the QB can catch the pass after its been tipped. Obviously Bulger would have caught the pass himself and gotten the first down. Duh. 1
dapetes Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Is it the play calling or the effort thats causing lapses of progress during the game?
dc. Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Is it the play calling or the effort thats causing lapses of progress during the game? Fair question. But how do you assign a lapse in judgment to the QB only? What about the OL and TEs who miss blocks? Or runners who stutter in the hole? It's all Joe?
papasmurfbell Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 I see it as the playcalling. We go from a wide open offense that moves to a more formulaic run style that this OL can't do. Did you see during the game how Chester was being ripped to shreds? He is about useless out there.
papasmurfbell Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-ravens-steelers-preston-report20101205,0,2137526.story Quarterback Joe Flacco had few bad plays. He showed good pocket awareness and made good decisions outside the pocket. He read blitzes well and showed nice touch on several long passes but was handcuffed more by the coaching staff than the Steelers. Grade: B+ Running back The Ravens had virtually no running game and had no power game without fullback Le'Ron McClain. Ray Rice was used sparingly and mostly as a receiver on check-downs. Backup Willis McGahee wasn't a factor. Grade: C- Offensive line The Ravens never got in sync and had trouble with blitzes. Left tackle Michael Oher jumped offside several times. The middle of the line, center Matt Birk and guards Ben Grubbs and Chris Chester, got very little push against the Steelers' defensive line, especially in the second half. Overall, this group has to do a better job of protecting the quarterback. Grade: D Going by what an expert sees more of the problem is coaching OL and RB. I had concerns about McClain being out. It screws your pass protection up and doesn't allow for the RB's to get going.
OutsideRzAcE Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 It was kinda therapeutic to read this forum after the fact.
