vmax Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Buy or Sell: The Ravens biggest loss ever...... Baltimore Ravens Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots Jan. 22, 2012, AFC Championship Game Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass. The Ravens had two chances in the final 22 seconds to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive, and they let both slip through their grasp in a 23-20 loss to the Patriots. Wide receiver Lee Evans had the winning, 14-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco slapped out of his hands in the end zone. Then, with an opportunity to send the game into overtime, kicker Billy Cundiff wildly pulled a 32-yard field goal attempt wide left. "We fell 15 seconds from having it," linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "So, please believe, it won't happen again." The next season, the Ravens redeemed themselves by beating the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game and capturing the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy. -- Jamison Hensley...What is your NFL team's most heartbreaking loss?

vmax Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Sell. 2006 season .After the 2012 loss I really thought the Ravens would come back and win it all the next year. I had hope. 2006 left me empty. The January 2007 divisional loss to the Colts really hurt. 15-6. All FG's. I thought McNair was hung over. He looked out of it during that game. It was a wide open path to the Super Bowl. Ravens were 13-3 with an elite/great defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the phone with my daughter who was in college at the time as the Ravens were driving for the game winning score. Told her, "after they score the touchdown I will buy us tickets to the Super Bowl"... Guess I was the jinx, a dropped pass and a missed field goal...

vmax Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Buy or Sell: From USA Today's rankings: # 12. Ravens (9): Their 8-3 record says they're the AFC's No. 1 team. Their play on the field in recent weeks, especially former MVP front-runner Lamar Jackson's, decisively suggests otherwise. He may be the first QB in eight years to get a win despite throwing four INTs, but this obviously isn't sustainable – especially since no team currently projected in the playoff field has a harder remaining schedule than Baltimore's. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/week-13-nfl-power-rankings-packers-return-to- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Buy or Sell: This ship has sailed. Quote But even the most resilient team can take one too many punches in a given season. “Next man up” is a necessary mantra in this brutal sport. Eventually, you run out of men. We are not going to see the Ravens as they were supposed to be in 2021. That ship has left the harbor and crossed the ocean.

papasmurfbell Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Sort of buy. I had issues with the construction of this team from the jump. This goes back to Ozzies time.

oldno82 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm buying. Just too many injuries to major guys: Stanley, Dobbins, Gus, the loss of other O-Lineman, the secondary. The list goes on and on. Like the man said, this is not the 2021 team the front office had constructed. What's worse is, what if Stanley is done? Dobbins and Gus had knee injuries. Is it really plausible to think they will be back as they were before? To top it off, now Lamar isn't adapting to the way defenses are adjusting to him. Some of that is Roman's fault but Lamar is far from blameless. It's a sad end to a team that once had enough talent to win a Super Bowl but now can't win a game against the aging and decrepit Steelers.

What can Roman do if the play is right and Lamar can't read the field? The play Romo highlighted with Andrews crossing from right to left side open. That is only on Lamar.

The play Romo highlighted with Andrews crossing from right to left side open. That is only on Lamar. On that play, yes, Lamar had to do a better job on the throw. But throughout the game, he was holding onto the ball too long. Plus, Roman wasn't coming up with play calls to neutralize the rush coming from the corners' positions. It's hard to understand that now with the Ravens finally having a good stable of receivers, we couldn't adapt to what the Pittsburgh defense was showing us. Shit, even Tony Romo up in the booth could see what was happening and what to do. Roman couldn't. Or, perhaps, Roman couldn't get through to Lamar. But Roman calls the plays.
