WTF is wrong with Ray Rice

[cravnravn]

Something has to be, too many key opportunities and hes on the bench..WTF

Nothing. Pierce ran well.

Rice had 20 carries.

The team ran for 35 carries for 186 yards and a 5.3 ypc.

Ray Rice hip pointer

There's nothing wrong with him. We have a stupid coaching staff.

[cravnravn]

Case in point II

 

First series, Rice has 3 carries for 63 yards, thats more than 50% of his rushing total for the day, second series as we are down by 7, not ONE touch for Rice, I recall after Rays 3 carry, he ran off the field calling for Pierce to spell him. Pierce is no Rice, but whom ever made the decision for Ray not to even be in there the second series is a loon.

 

Go look back at the play by play.

Crav,

 

They are saving Rice's legs for the playoff run I guess this is why Cam is gone.

[cravnravn]

Not buying that Va

[deeshopper]

I think he's being sarcastic. But, the usage of a healthy Ray Rice has nothing to do with there being something wrong with him. As DC said, it is the stupid coaching staff.

[cravnravn]

I hope you are all correct. Sunday will be a huge test.

Ray was winded from from the 63 yards he ran in the first series.

Week 13 and hes winded? Mehh even as a decoy hes a threat.

Whatever is wrong, if anything, Rice better be cured and 110 % ready to go Sunday.

 

I will say this emphatically as humanly possible: Ray Rice will have to have a career (or near career) game to beat Denver. By that, he must have a monster game for this team to have a chance. Denver, Peyton & its D is arguably playing the best ball in the NFL (maybe sans NE).

 

 

Regardless, Rice must have a monster (or career game) in order to:

 

Keep Manning off the field and give our D a rest

 

Give Joe a comfort level and keep Denvers pass rush (Demervil, Miller) off his butt.

 

Restore some semblance of an offense and give the team some confidence moving forward.
