Ravens Peaking at Right Time

Have to run it in the last two games. It is that god damn simple. Rice needs the ball 20+ times. I am tired of seeing him get only 14 carries each game. The more carries he gets, the more likely of a chance there is for him to break one 50+ yards to the house. He literally gets better and better every week. I see some mistakes in his running style one week, then the next week he fixes it right away and it shows. Chris Johnson is really good, but Rice is arguably the most complete RB in the league right now. Bench Willis and never give him the ball please. God he is slow. I rather see Matt Lawarence in there getting carries than Mcgahee. If Rice and McClain do not combine for at least 30 carries next week, we are most likely losing that game.

Joe needs to stop with the backfoot throws. He is leaning his body backwards on some of his throws way too much and the ball looks slow going through the air. I did love some of his placements on the ball to Heap and Mason though. Great reads. D-Williams has to see the ball next week. I do not see us beating Pitt if we just play conservative. Yes, we MUST run the ball but 1 or 2 huge plays from Williams could really end the game early. That dude is playing great ball right now.

Leave Troy Smith out of there. It was nice to see the Suggs Package against a shitty team, but that aint working against Pitt. Throwing backwards and crap to Joe, god we make it look so obvious. Keep him on the sideline.

Next week on rides on our defense. With Webb out, I do not think we stand a chance against Ben and those WR. Foxworth will get destroyed by Holmes. I don’t even want to start with what Ward and Wallace will be able to do to Frank Walker. Ward will be so physical with him off the snap, that at some point in the game Walker will lose his cool and get those oh so beautiful Pass Interference calls. Wallace will burn him so badly, I bet we see the most desperate pull of a jersey while he is falling to the ground to at least stop the 70 yard TD from happening we have ever seen. With Webb out, our best tackler on the team is gone. We need to have 5+ sacks on the day to win this game against Bennigans.

really really really nervous with webb out. Maybe we will do something crazy and address the issue in free agency this weekend but I have a feeling ozzie will sit back and feel good with what we have. sigh

I wasn’t going to say anything about “Fifteen Yard Penalty” Frank Walker but what a douche!!! He snags a lame duck interception, then goes about celebrating it on the field by chucking the intercepted ball. He is truly the biggest detriment to the team bar none. He will NOT be missed after this season concludes! What an A-hole!

1. Flacco missed a wide open Heap at least 4 times and dumped to Rice and forced a ball to D-Will.
2. The D-Will pass was into double coverge. An unecessary risk against a bad team when only such a risk could cause us to lose.
3. The cute play with the pass to Flacco. Flacco caught the ball and FORCED the throw ino coverage for an incompletion. He didn’t have to throw the ball. So manyu times players feel that a trick play is a pass to just chuck it. Rookie mistake.
4. Cam treated the Bears like World Champs going scrared and running 2 straight QB sneaks on our 1 and then handing off. The punt resulted in a return TD. How chicken shit was that series. Heap was left alone all day. Mason could have been used and Rice should have had 3 carries (at least in that spot). Playing it safe? How? We gave the Bears the ball w/ great field position either way.
5. Gadget plays against bad teams. Why? Bread and butter kills the Bears but Cam gets tough with the gadget plays against bad teams. -I GUARANTEE that Cam will be so tight next week that we will be lucky to squeak out a 10 yard pass. You will see such a conservative game that we will let Pitt stick around HWN WE CAN put them away. Don’t trust Cam in a big game.

6. Most important of all was the absolute STUPIDITY of Harbaugh for keeping his best players in well after the game was decided. WHAT THE HELL were the starters doing in the game in the 4th quarter. We are thin at DB and there is no way I risk WEBB out here. NO WAY!!

That is on Harbaugh and absolutely kills us against Pitt.

I don’t have a great feeling about this win. It’s sort of empty as we didn’t establish the run, ran gimmicks and watched Flacco short throws to Mason in the end zone and, throw into double coverage and not see Heap wide open all day.

It’s a win but it was the Bears and Lions. We need some luck Sunday. Our pass rush stinks, we lost Webb and Ben just tossed for 500 on a team we couldn’t move the ball on. I am infuriated about the Webb loss in a blow out game. Thanks Harbaugh.

ST’s. Even worse. Why put guys from a depleted position on ST’s when you can load it up with bench guys and our 50 LB’s – especially leading by 24 at home against a team that gave up. Stupid. Just like when Billick had Qadry Ismail on ST’s when he was our only receiver way back when. Ismail hurt his leg and went on IR.

Thin at position=use sparingly

(As well as the Ravens of course) because with a Miami loss, even a loss to the Steelers would not harm the Ravens’ playoff bid in terms of what everyone else around them needs to do to make it.

Denver @ Philly – I don’t like the Broncos chances there
Jags @ NE – Again, not very good odds the Jags win that one
Jets @ Indy – I’m starting to notice a pattern
Miami hosts Houston – Lets go Texans

I’d like to be confident against the Steelers but the track record keeps getting in the way. I’m just disappointed that we didn’t establish a key aspect of the game against the Bears. We were all over the place which you would expect to be against a good team. This was the Bears and I wanted to see us get McClaine and McGahee going. I wanted to see us keep going at Heap considering he was open every other play with the Bears hawking Rice. But we didn’t. We went to gimmicks and jump balls. How many times are we going to use Mason as a jump ball guy in the corner of the end zone. That is a chicken play and NEVER works. I still see a lack of trust in Flacco with that play and the 2 qb sneaks on the 1. If that is the case, we are still not ready for Pitt after 2 years.

Do you think Ben get’s 2 qb sneaks on his own 1 against the Bears at home? No. Throw deep..It’s as good as a punt if it’s INT’d. Besides, that’s all Cam was looking for on that series- a punt. Chicken. You play to win the game. Giving the opposing team the ball back on the 40 (which the punt would have done if not for the run back) is pretty much giving them at least 3. I don’t get it…..yeah I do.

I came here looking to see some excitement for the pitt game and all im reading is complaints, what gives? Yes we beat 2 teams we were suppose to but it was more how we beat them. Yes you can take bad things away from a win, but the important thing was we didnt let those negatives change the game. Yes we lost webb, probably the worst part of that game, but lets just hope our guys step up. Screw you guys, im gonna go talk trash to a steelers fan, you guys can complain some more

in six games and now we’re almost hiding in such fear!? WTF guys? Who says the Steelers can play well two weeks in a row. The Packers game was more of an aberration on their season than their losses to Cleveland, Oakland and KC were! Come on, we are the better team and will finish off the sweep Sunday, Webb or Walker doesn’t matter!

Starks can’t block fast DE’s. I’d put Kruger here. Mathews of GB beat the daylights out of Starks.

Crush the Steelers!!

But it would be great to whoop your ass three times this season.

Who Dey!!!
