Official ***** & Moan Thread After a Victory: Ravens get ROBBED

I can't believe Collins shredded our D. They gave up a 14 point lead, but overcame a 11 and 9 point deficit. I'm spent. They won, I really have no *****.
 
Had a rough week. My oldest Doberman passed, Shazier went out for the year.

And this game gave me no indication it was going to lift my doldrums.

Thank you Ben and AB, Bell, etc., you managed to do just that.

I needed today, tonight. Well the last part of the game at-least.

Bryant , Burns, and Davis are wasted roster spots.
 
Bud Dupree is a little better than Jarvis Jones.
LJ Fortt should have been in at MLB at the start of the game.
Thank God we won!!

Not sure about Bud, Jones at least tackled somebody every now and then, i don't remember Bud name called once.

I thought Burns played a decent game. He was completely jobbed on that last PI call, but a few of them were pretty bad tonight. However, I'm almost on the verge of joining Coach's "Davis-is-bum Bandwagon." This was a bad game for the young man, and while it's not fair to kill him over one bad game, he doesn't seem to wanna correct his half-assed tackling. That "effort" he gave to Collins early in the game was a total joke. Combine that with his horrible personal foul, and standing flat-footed while a receiver runs right by him, and you have his game tonight. You almost forget that he had an interception. Had we made some routine plays in the early going, this game may not get to this spot. Sadly, it's a very disturbing trend with this team.

That's that "playing to win" bs I hear all the time from coaches and players. Sometimes playing it close to your vest is the proper choice. They could have run the clock down to nothing, especially with the kicker the Rats have.

Someone tell Davis that trying to hit guys and blow them up is not how the game is played anymore. You have to tackle.

No, I did not, Ham. His interception on the first drive was a HUGE reason why the Steelers win.

The defensive issues are troubling. Look, I get that, but by the same token, this defense was missing two of the better defenders in the NLF (Haden and Shazier), so let's keep that in mind, okay?

They absolutely have to make called PI a reviewable play... both these teams got screwed on it today.... its too big a game changer to leave it up to blind stupid refs

Only to reverse a called PI to a non-call. Canadian Football League has PI replay review and it's like a freaking basketball game sometimes.

I do have a *****. Can anyone do math. You are in field goal range and two downs and they had one timeout and you throw twice. WTF were they thinking.

Three straight runs with Baltimore only having 2 TOm's would have bleed it down to almost nothing. Harbaugh did the exact same thing on the drive before also. Both playing aggressive. Sometimes though you have to play smart.

That first one Ben tossed up an anybody's ball.
 
Im judging by the QB coach talking to him during the last drive. I think it had to be on Ben. There is no way a coach would come up with that. He must have audibled to it. Unbelievable. And the Ravens have the best long distance kicker in the league.

Just saw the post game press conference with Ben, He said it came in from the sidelines.

INEXCUSABLE. You run twice, kick, and get out of there with not enough time for Tucker to beat you with his mecha-leg. I've been tracking Tomlin, and it's the first mismanagement of the clock this season. At least Watt bailed us out, that and Harbaugh/Flacco's mis management. They lost the game while they were in the muddle huddle. Idiots!!

Davis ****** up a lot, but at least he tries hard, cares, and hits the holes hard. He also had the PD down the middle just before the strip sack. He lets up that catch and we may lose on a long FG.

We need Dirty Red back. This ILB rotation is painful to watch. I'm not worried about Brady beating us, I'm worried about them running for 300 yards...
 
I hated the throws too, but Eli was WIDE open and if Ben throws a bit earlier it's a first down and a much easier FG.
 
Course, when you drop back, 3 things can happen and 2 are bad.
