Week 16 Ravens vs Falcons

[tsylvester]

He doesn't have much more than Huntley. Neither is more than a game or three back up in this league.

With our offensive system, if you want to call it that, it doesn’t really matters who is under Center .    Of course in this season nothing should surprise any of us.   

[tsylvester]

Oh my gosh, he had Andrews wide open for 7, take the hit

Tucker time....

[tsylvester]

Nice job scrambling and keeping your eyes down field,  and Sammy turning up field for 40 yards.

Then Roman jokes, calls a tight end screen, same one Huntley over threw a series earlier but to the opposite side. That too was well covered, they should have pump faked that and had Sammy go into the endzone, easy score if they had..

[tsylvester]

Now run the dag gone ball, 2 carries by Dobbins, 16 yards, keep it going

[tsylvester]

That's it, Gus for 5, pound them

[tsylvester]

Boom, Gus with a nice move to slip a tackle, 15 yards

[tsylvester]

No play action, empty back field, throw that to the post and Oliver scores

[tsylvester]

3rd and 11, a pass for 6 to Likely, Tucker time, again...

55 yarder into the wind is blocked again

[tsylvester]

They, teams, have found a weakness in the guards on field goal kicks, this is not good

[tsylvester]

Once again, Roman kills a drive. Sure, Oliver was open for a big gain if the pass was on target, but why, why empty the back field and throw? Even Oliver had two guys on him.

Put guys in a position to succeed, use play action, draw the backers up for a split second and Oliver is a little more open.

Run the ball, make them stop you, they stopped them once one run play.

[tsylvester]

The defense is playing very well, leaving the rookie with little room to throw or run.. well done

[deeshopper]

Well that’s see what the offense can do here. 

[tsylvester]

2nd series starting near mid field, Dobbins for 5 as the 1st quarter ends, 3-0 Ravens

[tsylvester]

If Roman sticks to Roman, after a 5 yard run he will empty the back field with a full back split out and throw deep passes...

Apparently so. lol. 

[tsylvester]

Hey they used play action, what happened? Linebackers sacked right up, Oliver was wide open, bad pass.

Now he hits Andrews down the sideline for 30 yards

And yet again!

[tsylvester]

Now a qb sweep, oy

[tsylvester]

He finally connects with Oliver for 7 yards.. 3rd and 4

[tsylvester]

4 man rush, tries to throw a swing pass to Dobbins, well behind him, incomplete. Terrible route combinations, again, in the redzone. Tucker is good, 6-0 ravens, yippie.

Second time in the redzone, second time Oliver was open down the seam and Huntley can't make an accurate pass.

2nd time he hit someone down the sideline for a 30+ yard gain to get them into the redzone.

Now if Roman would just call proper routes for the redzone.

The Falcons are only rushing 4 on pass plays in the redzone, there should be plenty of protection

[tsylvester]

What's up with the short kickoff?

It's not that windy, come on D we need a touchdown

[tsylvester]

Naked boot, easy throw for a first down against Stone

[tsylvester]

Smith is an animal, a tackling machine for no gain

[deeshopper]

This offense just cannot score. Why is it always like this?
