…is that the ref’s explanation is that he blew the whistle and they tried to stop the play, which of course would have stopped Suggs’ rush and questionable hit, right? Funny how none of the players oin either team stopped playing and no one in the stands heard anything either. Usually, you have flags all over the place and all the refs (who heard the whistle as well?) running towards the line of scrimage to stop the play from continuing. None of tis happened and this is where we were allowed to continue the play and be penalized. My only issue is that the whistle was obviously not blown or loud enough for the players, coaches, fans and even the other refs to hear. that alone allowed Suggs to continue towards the QB. the so called hit was a judgement call and those things happen. the way it was allowed to happen is the issue. After football has been around for a hundred years, perhaps they need to go a little more high tech than to continue using a little stupid whistle to regulate play. What a novel idea, huh!?

Rexx, you have to admit that the suggs roughing penalty was indeed one of the worst calls we have seen in a close game situation. The fast the suggs was being blocked and just trying to block the pass while still trying to get off his block, is terrible. In no way was collins in any harm of suggs coming off that block and still trying to tackle him. His arm was in motion to make a deflection of the football and it came down on the mans shoulder pads. BS! And yes, we did score off of those two finnegan penalties, but THOSE WERE CLEAR CUT!!! you cannot throw a player to the ground nor can u start swingin at the opposing team. The Ravens do indeed need to control themselves better, but that suggs roughing penalty did factor in very heavily to us becoming a .500 team at this point in the season. In the fourth, DO NOT make calls unless there is a clear cut view of harm being done in that situation. We got them in a 4th and long situation, they punt it to us, slam mcclain up the middle a few times, and we come away 3-1 and handing the titans their first loss.

Keeping your heart out of it- Are we on the edge of winning or are we on the edge of losing? My glass is exactly half full with D. But I’m tired of being shorted at these drink prices. Maybe 2 more weeks of Flacco with the D slumping from the burden. Then, a Return To Troy that will reignite the D and town? Obviously, our best hope is to win the 2 team race in the division instead of joining ranks in the wild card race. Pitt. has to hit a skid soon. They are beat up pretty bad and can’t keep this up..can they? And I thought Del Rio liked B-more.

I like the man and the passion he brings. But so far, he has made mistakes that I can’t classify as rookie mistakes. They are poor judgement and coaching decisions, and it looks like in the heat of the moment, he freezes. This will hurt us as much as Billick’s horrible game management did. Harbaugh says with 14 seconds on the clock, it was a no brainer to kick the FG at the end of the half. What about the prior 30 seconds that ran off instead of taking the TO, idiot!!!???

Raven,
Let me guess you were the first person on the Billick bandwagon when we won the superbowl and then because we didn’t win the next year you thought he should be fired.
Well you do have the rite to complain but there is more to life that is my point. I pay for my season tickets and have the rite to complain but choose not too. I am a guy that likes to drink beer and have good time that loves football.

Everything was “irrelevant” in Billicks offense..but the key was Dilfer understood that it was irrelevant and was working for the D- the only way. Billick’s O was so irrelevent he brought in 15 more irrelevant QB’s to play with it. They just forgot which side of the team they were playing for and made it even more irrelevant.
