Hoping they got that out of their system and play right next time

Going to watch game tomorrow night (Pack/Vikings) I wonder who Favre will throw to Purple or Green uniforms?? lol

Going into the game who would have thought that the Ravens would louse and the Orioles would win.

in OT. Trying to get into FG position. Can’t believe we’re all rooting for the Browns!

I know it’s not an excuse but the refs really didn’t help the ravens at all… mark clayton should have caught that ball and i would be able to run around my dorm cheering but instead i get to lock myself in my room and cry (not really)

is the health a Gaither. I still haven’t heard anything other than he was at a local hospital and he could move his extremities.

We weren’t blown out, we where one play away from winning. Despite the mistakes, the piss poor officiating (seriously, why not just have Brady wear a goddamn flag belt if every damn this is going to get called for him). At least Mike Preston has a chance to really rip on Flacco this week.

both teams suck and we’ll destroy the Bengals next week.

He wouldn’t say, but he still “said” how disappointed he was with the spotsw of the ball and calls of the refs today. He seems pissed!

by NO’s Darren Sharper who went 99 yards for the TD!!!!! Welcome to the NFL, rookie!

Cinn ball, deep in their own territory. I smell a tie.

In FG range, and a Cincy win puts them tied with us, and a matchup for the AFC North division lead on the line next Sunday in Baltimore. Time to take out our frustrations on them!

already the bengals have a field goal and an extra point blocked in this game.

Bungles win.

First place game next week, boys.

Gotta go for awhile now guys, talk amongst yourselves. Peace.

Hope Gaither is okay. Mass General Hosp. is probably one of the best places he could be. Never like to see a player go down like that, taken off on a board.

It’s interesting to see your complaints about your team sound an awful lot like our complaints about our team. Surely that says something about the matchup — great game, see you in the playoffs.

Oh, and I hope Gaither comes out OK.

A few things:
First, the playcalling today was nothing short of terrible. We cannot run the ball 17 times vs. 47 pass attempts and expect to come out on top of good teams. Even when we did run the ball, a few questionable decisions (say, running it with Ray Rice instead of Le’Ron McClain on 3rd- and 4th- and 1) absolutely killed us.

Second, other than a couple throws, Flacco played pretty well. The INT he threw was not a particularly good throw, and he should have hit a wide-open Mason for a second touchdown, but didn’t get enough zip on the ball because he threw off his back foot. That last drive was a thing of beauty, for the most part.

Mark Clayton should be ashamed of himself for dropping those last two throws. He dropped one TD in the first half, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt because he really only got one hand on the ball. However, dropping another TD on basically the same route as the first one is not acceptable, especially since he got both hands on the ball. Dropping that 4th-down pass, though- there’s no excusing that. A ball that hits you square in the numbers should be caught every time. EVERY TIME.

Defensively, we definitely didn’t get as much pressure on Brady as we needed to, and he picked us apart when given the opportunity. I feel like Foxworth has problems staying on his feet, like when he was beat by Moss for a TD.

On special teams, Chris Carr continued to stink. Fumbling the opening kickoff, taking kicks out of the endzone and not even getting to the 20, etc. I’m not sure I see what the Ravens saw in him when they signed him, because he was terrible today. Why isn’t Ladarius Webb returning all of the kicks?

As for the officials, I felt we were definitely shafted on a few calls- the Brady intentional grounding non-call, Suggs’ roughing the passer call, Flacco’s mysterious intentional grounding call, etc. I don’t understand how we get the short end of the officiating stick so often.

first time I’ve ever gone out to watch a game that wasn’t a Steelers game. That shows how huge this was. I’d hold my head high if I wore purple (shudder to think). Still in the AFCN lead, and played a TIGHT game against a good pats team. Flacco to Mason appears to be unstoppable. Excellent performance from the ancient wide out. I’m not sure if the Steelers can count on Flacco’s inexperience anymore.

Hopefully the Steelers can take advantage of this faltering and begin to close the gap. Tonight is time for the big boys to play.

Man, that hurt. Things just did not go our way this afternoon. I will write something up tonight on what I felt was the difference between a loss and a win.

Enjoy the rest of your day guys. Gotta keep our heads up. This team has shown us too much promise to get down after our first loss. Nothing gives a team like ours more of a kick in the ass than a loss like that.

Love you all.

Here you go.

This is a video of Ray after the game calling the officiating today “embarrassing” which indeed it was. But I think our coverage of the short pass and tackling was also embarrassing, Ray.

Here is Mark Clayton after the game, saying that his dropped pass on 4th down lost us the game. It was a critical pass that Joe threw perfectly and Mark should have caught, but I will never put the blame of a loss on one player. There were multiple aspects that we needed to do better on. Keep your head up, Mark.

yes the ravens lost
PPL can say whatever they want about refs, play selection, Clayton, or whatever

but I liked what i saw from the Ravens the poise of Joe Flacco in the last drive, the defense stepping up to give the offense a chance, and the the fact that the Ravens fought and fought till the end. All of this shows promise that the Ravens will have a good season and that we have a QB for the first time 8)
In my book the Ravens are up there in the “elite teams” in the AFC b/c they hung in there

GOOD game learn from the loss Ravens and get 1st place in the AFC North next week against the Bengals

P.S. did anyone else hear John Harbaugh drop the S-bomb today

It reads, “Pats put Ravens in place”

Things are feeling normal again.

and i just wanted to say that you guys played a good game and deserved to win. Those roughing the passer calls were ridiculous

the pregame show on NBC prior to the Steelers game but…I F-ing hate Keith Oberman. The F-ing piece of Sh-t was cracking jokes about Gaither getting injured. Considering that its still up in the air about how serious it is, what the F- is he doing joking about the dudes lifting him onto the cart getting hernias. Don’t get me wrong, I hated Keith long before this (I find his “Lets make insulting comments about teams” coverage annoying as all hell) but this is basically the final straw.
