cravnravn Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 In the playoff chase, and the Indy Colts are on the outside looking in!!!! I dont know about you but our confidence level should be on the rise!! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I would say cautiously optimistic. Quote
Spen Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Scoring 10 at home, losing with that effort in arguably the biggest game of the season doesn't exactly have my confidence level on the rise. Have at it though. Quote
yagersports Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Exactly as Spen put it. If the coaching staff and players can show something different then I'll get on board. But I doubt they will, we'll have trouble putting 21 on the loose defense of Houston. I'm disturbed by Harbaugh's statement of it's difficult to ask the OC to change things when they review film and there are guys open. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 Guys it was against the Steelers, our biggest rival, did you really think we were going to put 20 on them? Quote
Spen Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Did I think we would? I never know what to expect from this team. Do I think we should have put the game out of reach long before the end? Absolutely. We really sucked Sunday night. I don't see any silver lining or confidence builder there. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 No doubt the game should have been put away at the half, when we only had a 7 spot up, I was nervous.. But give credit to both D's, they pretty much shut us down, and we definately shut them down..1 fluke play.. Quote
yagersports Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 We should have put that one away, we had opportunities and squandered them. Coming away with nothing on the Stallworth deep ball was a very big killer. We definitely had more opportunities to put that game away than the Steelers and we did not. At home, we didn't take care of business. What happens when we have to go there for the playoffs? I'm just not impressed, a very big let down for what this team is truely capable of. Quote

How is an all pro safety who lines up unblocked at this line of scrimmage and allowed to go to the QB untouched forcing a fumble a fluke? And is it a fluke if its happened before? It was like Dumbo Joe was handing him the ball in a statue of Liberty play. Quote

If it was that obvious why didnt a coach burn a time out, we have a history of that..Why didnt an O-Lineman bump the hairball? Dont pin this all on Joe, Quote

Dont pin this all on Joe, I'm not pinning it all on him. I just said it looked like a statue of liberty play. Theres plenty of blame to go around both on the field and on the sideline. All more reasons, not less, to not be very confident. If it was a tipped pass that got returned, fluke play - OK it happens. This was a failure by the team, a bad play, not a fluke. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 The problem is fixing multiple malfunctions. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 It was a failure to cumminicate, that resulted in a fluke play. Quote
varaven45 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Crav et al, Lost in all of "this" is our inability to run, The infamous "3 Headed Monster" 3HM is dead. Unless it is resurrected, we have absolutely no chance to make the playoffs. To put Joe in the position to win these games with his arm is unrealistic. If we cant run in December we are done. Forget the one and done (in playoffs), we wont even make it there. We have four games to miraculously unlash the run game. If we (Joe) gets into a throwing match with Schaub, we are toast. Gotta pound the rock....now. It starts Monday night. Quote
oldno82 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 It was like Dumbo Joe was handing him the ball in a statue of Liberty play. You simply can't blame Joe for that play. I saw tape of the Jets first game against the Pats and the same thing happened to the mighty Tom Brady--Hit from the blindside and fumbled. I also saw two other plays just this past weekend in the NFL when the same thing happened. I think the offensive line blew its line calls on that play. Quote
Spen Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 It was a failure to cumminicate, that resulted in a fluke play. We just disagree. Allowing an unblocked safety to run free at the QB's blindside to strip the ball isn't a fluke in my book. Quote

vmax Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Going 2 for 4 is .500. That's not hitting the playoffs on a roll. I want this team to get it together now. That would be nasty because there is a ton of talent and the Ravens could do damage in the playoffs. But they have to get it together now. This game starts the run. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 Going 2 for 4 is .500. That's not hitting the playoffs on a roll. When the schedule first came out, Nawlins had a L next to it, not so sure now..I can definately see 4-0 and hitting the playoffs on a roll. Quote

I'm talking about hitting the playoffs on a roll where this team is firing on all cylinders. With a 4 quarter offense....that scores points and doesn't leave them on the field. Quote
cravnravn Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 Allowing an unblocked safety to run free at the QB's blindside to strip the ball isn't a fluke in my book. So you dont think Oher or Rice seen Hairball on the left side? if not then its a fluke that 3 players missed the Steelers main threat on defense. Quote
yagersports Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Suggs saw it, the whole defense saw it, they were yelling to the offense to not miss him. What does that say? Quote
thundercleetz Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Suggs saw it, the whole defense saw it, they were yelling to the offense to not miss him. What does that say? Coach should have called a time-out on the sidelines. Quote
