Final Score: Ravens 16-0

But seriously guys great Defense tonight. Horrible Offense. You need a new kicker immediately. Good Luck against the Steelers, Beat their black and gold stained butt cracks!

after the game’s final play. Too bad, as he is probably the one guy on thast team I’d love to add to ours. At the same time, the emergence of Lardarius Webb makes him not as needed as he once was.

Hope Cribbs is fine.

as a disappointing performance despite the shutout.

O-line-was Pathetic. We are just lucky that Flacco didn’t get hurt. I couldn’t believe the pressure they were getting.

Defense- While the shutout looks good on paper…it was against the BROWNS.

Special Teams- Great Job covering Cribbs and turning him into a non-factor. Hauschka…feel free to leave that jersey in the trash can. Until he learns to handle pressure…he is useless to us.

Game Ball has to go to Webb. That kid was everywhere and he seemed like the only one that showed up to play his best.

Oh well. I’m looking forward to next week’s battle of the juggernauts; the Browns and the Lions

- Browns are really, really bad. They may be the worst team in the league. If not for Cribbs, there would be nothing on that team that scares me. Oh wait what am I saying, Shaun Rodgers makes Chuck Norris crap himself.

- Hauschka needs to go. That miss should seal his way out of here. I am tired of the coaches and front office telling us how good Hauschka looks in practice and how he WILL be a “great” kicker in this league. He may look good in practice, but looks atrocious in games. Vineteri should be back real soon for the Colts, so once they get rid of Stover (if they do) we should bring Matt back.

- Defense played great. Browns are again, terrible, but we did what we were supposed to do and held them scoreless. Great job all around and it was nice to see a Paul Kruger sighting for once. Now if only we could find a way to use him in meaningful games.

- Offense was slow and confused. 3 timeouts used in the first 7 minutes of the game is not good what so ever. O-Line got beat a few times and it was not pretty. Birk needs to relax.

- We have Indy next……..great.

We won by 16. We played O not to make mistakes against a team that could only compete if we mae mistakes. From that stand point it was a perfectly boring formula for a win.

BUT, the lack of practice stretching the field and the fact that we were worried about making mistakes and losing to Cleveland is a huge concern. We were being ultra careful with the worst team in football in front of a quite crowd. No pressure.

We do not have an O switch we can flip on for next week. We should have worked on our passing game in preparation for next week but we didn’t have the nerve and skill.

It’s a toss up as to who’s the root of the problem. The line or Flacco. They both struggled. Cams play calling is a bit crazy. We need to develope confidence in the 3rd and shorts and he gimmicks against Cleveland. We also revieled a trick play against Cleveland. Why? We could have used that against The Colts or Pitt. Cam loves to play tricks on bad teams and go tight on good ones. This time he did both.

I am happy to be 5-4. That’s good for this group. My fault for getting angry all these weeks. They aren’t who we thought they were. 9 offensive points. Flacco has been reduced to Jason Taylor in 3 weeks.

derrr..I meant Jason Campbell…it’s late.

The thread going on now at DBN. Two guys wanted to flag my comment because I was typing in subject box. Gotta love it.

I think the only good thing I saw on offense was how we used all 3 of our backs. McGahee at the end getting garbage time doesnt count but he still got some useful carries in the middle of the game. If we can establish the run next week against Indy while preventing them from going up 21-0 in the first 10 minutes we should give ourselves a slight chance. Defense looked pretty good, but then again it is the Browns, hopefully we can get the same results next week, a few sacks a few INT’s, good coverage despite the Browns only airing it out once to Cribbs. We played quite possibly the worst team in football tonight, now have to switch gears and play possibly the best, I’m not looking forward to Sunday…chances are it will be ugly. Hauschka goes without mentioning…I dont like to be mean but sorry dude you had your chanceS…the capital S is intentional…are there official pink slips in the NFL cause Hauschka’s shoulda been sittin in his locker after the game.

Well Kyle Boller looked unimpressive last night in Cleveland…wait…what?…That was Joe Flacco? Oh yeah, couldn’t tell the difference. What happened to that high powered offense?? The 34-3 offense? I do understand that a losing team can surprise you but come on, we made them look good. Cleveland seemed to have no problem covering our receivers or pressuring our front line. Is the young group of blockers wearing out here in mid-season because they sure aren’t slowing anybody down. We should have scored way more than we did and unless we do something now the Colts will eat us for breakfast. Good thinking getting McGahee some reps – even against a crappy team it keeps him fresh and gets him much needed practice should we need him down the road. McClain needs more touches as well.

The Suggs injury was sad but I sure don’t believe little Brady Quinn was thinking far ahead enough to do that on purpose. He was in panic mode. Think about this – Brady Quinn makes more in one year than most of us will in a lifetime – kind of weird eh? Good to see Paul Kruger out there after me shouting for it all season. Too bad we had to lose Suggs for it to happen. Kruger had good instincts getting hios hands up on passes and actually knocked one down. He does look like a rookie playing his first game and that should have happened back in September. His spin moves looked textbook but were ineffective and once he gets some more game time he’ll find out what he needs to do to make it work. Glad to see my man Ray looking sharp. Nice sack and some knock downs and loved the game ending tackle.

Hauschka? Good grief. I would have defended him last week but we cannot afford that every single game. He takes points off the board. This team won’t beat the Colts unless they show more of that game plan that beat Denver. Go Lardarius Webb – I love that kid!

“Ravens should be looking to sign another placekicker” you mean that they should in your opinion? I totally agree with you, but we know how much faith Harbaugh and the rest of the coaching staff have in Haushka’s progious leg. The moment you hear word of a new signing you’ll let us know I’m sure. Let’s hope we can turn Steve the dentist, or whatever, away from this team.

anybody knows Gano’s number?

You did that over the summer and he said that he has a girlfriend. You are persistant.

for putting his client in harm’s way on a worthless play at the end of the game. See article here (cut and paste if it doesn’t link).

Cribbs is soft. He got pushed in the game of football. Owie.
