Ravens Win a Nail-Biter 37-34

PrintAfter being practically destroyed in the 1st quarter the Ravens grabbed the shovel and dug themselves out of a 17-3 deficit with a TD pass to Todd Heap, setting the score at 17-10. Well, what looked to be a bad day got worse with a 20-yard TD pass to Lee Evans from Ryan Fitzgerald, putting the Bills ahead 24-10. The next drive Billy Cundiff hit a 48-yard field-goal, making the score 24-13. On the ensuing kick-off C.J. Spiller fumbled the ball giving, putting the Ravens in scoring position. Joe Flacco took advantage of this mistake by launching another TD pass to Todd Heap; making the score 24-20 going into half-time.
(More after the "Jump"...)
The Bills got the ball back to begin the 2nd half, but not for long, Ed Reed intercepted a pass thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick to once again put the Ravens in scoring position. On the next play Cam Cameron called a flea-flicker, and Joe Flacco executed it perfectly by chucking the ball down the field for an Anquan Boldin TD. On the next drive Willis McGahee ran it in for a 2 yard TD putting the Ravens ahead 34-24. The ever-so-famous Ravens' defense however allowed the Bills back in it. The Bills scored 10 unanswered points to send the game into over-time.
After punting the ball away in their first overtime possession, Ray Lewis forced a fumble giving the ball right back to the Ravens. This put Billy Cundiff in field goal range. After an 8-yard drive, the Ravens decided to kick the field-goal. And for the third time of the game Purple Crush made a crucial field-goal, putting the Ravens ahead 37-34 to win the game.
Next week is a Bye-week, and we sure need to fix some problems, more specifically, the defense. This game should not have gone into over-time but due to a weak defensive effort, we allowed the Bills back into the game. But a win is a win. Now we prepare for a home game against the Dolphins after the Bye-week. Glad to see another win. Go Ravens!!!!!

That flea-flicker was executed as perfectly as it can be

True that.I’ve never seen a flea-flicker as perfect as that one.

Harbaugh better light a fire on this team’s ass during the bye week. The entire defense played undisciplined and soft.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
Agreed
after looking so solid most of the season, they fell apart today, especially the secondary. Thankfully Ed Reed was there to save the day.
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
and can we RUN THE DAMN BALL PLEASE?
when we have 10 point leads in the 4th…and in OT when we were running all over them all game? Why risk giving them the ball right back when they were shredding our D?
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
Love how we are averaging about 10 ypc the entire day, yet McGahee and Rice only see it a total of 27 times. We did have to pass to get back in the game, but we could have closed that game out alot earlier if we gave it to them in the 4th.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
No reason to allow 10 points in the last half of the 4th quarter
to ANY team. What happened to the day when we could have a lead in the 4th and go on long 8-9 minute drives by running the ball with extra O Lineman in as TEs? That was always effective, but anything that works, Cameron goes away from, because the other team has seen it before, they’ll never be expecting this throw here! That’ll get em!
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
Yup, we are having alot of trouble putting teams away lately. The defense did a better job in the 2nd half, didn’t alow any points until the last minutes of the 4th quarter. But some of those drives we allowed were terrible to watch. 81 yard, 92 yards, let them drive from the 5 yard line to tie the game up.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
Thankfully we get the bye next week
they have a lot to work on to get back in shape to make a long playoff run.

Hate to say this but...
…a lot of you will probably get on my case as well. Ed Reed had two great picks that definitely helped this win, but…..he was REAL slow in giving deep help all day long as the corners were beaten like an old drum and we did nt compensate for Fabian and even Webb’s inability to cover. I see that as probably rust, but before we give Ed the game ball, understand that almost 400 yards of passing offense allowed should not be part of the praise we give to ANYONE on defense yesterday.

I agree. With Ed’s history though, I’m willing to chalk it up to rust and move on. If we can get 2 picks and a forced fumble from a rusty Ed Reed, I can’t wait til he has the next 2 weeks to get sharp.

Thanks you. Man I swear Baltimore fans are so ready to jump ship as soon as they see one negative. WE ARE 5-2 EVERYONE!
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
WE ARE 5-2 EVERYONE!
We’re 5-2 with some serious holes in our game. In how many of our seven games have we played 100% for all four quarters? Once the playoffs roll around, the first 16 games don’t matter much, and the way we’re currently playing won’t cut it for a Super Bowl run. There’s justification for being worried.
Water covers 2/3 of the Earth's surface. Ed Reed covers the rest.

That usually doesn’t happen in any game IMO.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
So you’re satisfied that our play to this point is sufficient to win us the Super Bowl?
Water covers 2/3 of the Earth's surface. Ed Reed covers the rest.
No, but neither are alot of teams right now. As long as we keep winning…
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
I don’t follow a lot of teams, and the one team I do follow hasn’t inspired a lot of confidence over the course of the season. An offense with and many weapons as we have shouldn’t be treading water for half the game like it did against the Bills. A defense with our pedigree shouldn’t be giving away games in the fourth quarter like it has. The Ravens have a lot of work ahead of them going into the bye week.
Water covers 2/3 of the Earth's surface. Ed Reed covers the rest.
he was definitely more effective this game
Their defense was obviously vulnerable to the power run, but it was abandoned.

Pretty much 50:50 of run/pass plays

"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
I'll take the win but...
What was up with all the arm tackles? Most of the yards we gave up came after a broken tackle. Our ends didn’t contain run or pass (+1 for pointing that out as a key to a win). It seems like our D was lethargic.
BTW I told you all to expect a close game but I didn’t think they would or could score 34 points. It was good to see our offense carry us though. Let’s hope they are able to get both sides clicking for the second half of the season… Sure was good to see the “Ball Hawk” make his presence felt right away. GO RAVENS!!!
by Georgia Raven on Oct 24, 2010 6:42 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
That was the worst performance by our Defense
in recent memory, maybe ever considering the Bills previously inept offense. The tackling was pathetic, so was the secondary. Everyone wondered if Ed Reed should have taken another game off to rest, but if he missed this game, we’d all be suffering over an unimaginable loss right now.
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
That was by far the worst performance that I have seen from our defense in a very long time. The last time something like that happened was against Pittsburgh 3 years ago when they put up like 5 passing TD’s on us. But this was not against Ben and the Steelers, it was against Fitzpatrick and the 0-5 Bills.
I hope this team isn’t satisfied with this win. We will take the W, but we have got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot with soft defensive play. The offense won that game for us, and they didn’t even look that great at times.
If not for the turnovers by Reed and Ray, we didn’t stand a chance in that game.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
We really need more pass rush
and better blitz schemes, it seems sometimes like it’s all or nothing, send the house or drop 8
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
Yea, this pass rush is getting out of hand. We either do a 3 man rush, or we send a CB on the blitz. Never the LB.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
I CANNOT stand it
when I see us rushing nly three guys. We can’t get pressure with FOUR, so hy ever send three? If that’s the design, to provide max coverage, then just have the three guys stand up at the line to take away the short dump off pass, because everyone knows we’re not getting to the QB! I go crazy when I see only three rushing.

Hate to say it, but I get the feeling that we were overlooking this game. Harbaugh and the players always talk about never looking past a team in this league, but I get the strong feeling the players did that today.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
I agree, that's never been a problem under Harbaugh
but it sure seemed like today it was. Hopefully it serves as a wake up call and they take the bye to really get in gear. At 5-2, there are more problems than the record indicates, especially in the tough AFC, and trailing the Steelers in the division.
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
I can’t think of any other explanation for what happened today but simply us being immature and not taking this team seriously. Harbaugh’s look on his face when they went up 24-10 was amazing. Can’t wait for the reporters to ask him questions about how bad certain aspects of this team looked today and then him shut them down and say he doesn’t answer those questions.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
His deep help coverage
was real weak and slow t get over. Once agin, Ed looks for the big play to solidify his rep but otherwise looked a step slow which hopefully is attributed to his hip and will improve. However, 500 yards of offense allowed gives me no reason to praise the defense or anyone on it.

to be honest
secondary got exposed today because we gave ryan all day to throw, where are the sacks at? we have got to start getting to the QB!!!! we should have drafted someone to get after the quarterback this past draft…what was ozzie thinking? oh wait we did…and he fell down the stairs…scrap the kindle idea, go get shawne! i know this is debated but seriously we dont need the shawne of ol’, ill be perfectly content with a less expensive “lights out” who will serve his time pestering QB’s because that is all he is here to do…that will in turn take some heat off of my main man sizzle, and he will be able to more sizzle type things….i dont know who gets keyed more…sizzle or ray rice….CAM i am mixed about you today, you did have some nice individual play calls in tight situations (pass to leron, flea flicker, and pitch to willis) but for crying out loud man….use the three headed monster!!!!!!!

Oh, I agree 100%. Like I said earlier, after today’s showing and with 2 weeks to think about how we can improve our team, I think the Merriman talks are going to get stronger. He is by far the best option out there to help fix the pass rush.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
I said we didn’t need him the other day, I was wrong. Our pass-rush looked extremely weak, and with some QB pressure this game could’ve been won without overtime. I’m all for Merriman.

Yea, Cam gets a solid B from me today. Only thing I do not get is that what Cam did today, he fails to do against the elite teams. The flea flicker, 4th and 1 pass to LeRon, pitch to Willis, where the hell is that stuff against New England, Pitt and those teams?
Still don’t get Cam’s philosophy on using the play action pass when we hadn’t even run it before hand.

My biggest criticism of him
….there are many to choose from….but my #1 is he always tries to outsmart the defense instead of relying on our strengths/what is working in the game. I really hope some team is stupid enough to take him off our hands and make him head coach next year. Raiders, anyone? If not, he just needs to go.

Let’s see how the season plays out before we are talking about shipping Cam off. I don’t think there is anyone who could step in for him right now and do too good of a job.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
I agree
it would hurt the team more than help to make that change mid-season, but I just don’t see how Harbaugh and Ozzie can justify him being back next year. After last year he should have been gone, honestly.

It's not about the points or even specific play calls
he doesn’t call properly in relation to the game situation. When you are having so much success running the ball against the worst run defense in the league, you pound the ball when up by 10 in the 4th. That would have also kept their offense off the field, which was shredding our defense. Conversely, against the Patriots the run wasn’t working but Joe was torching their secondary, so we should have been a bit more aggressive. I swear sometimes he isn’t even watching the game, he is the most stubborn coordinator in the NFL.

Kruger was back that was good to see. It was great to see reed come back and make an impact like that, but he should not have been returning punts. Leading the team in INT’s in one week. If we don’t get a lid on the rush defense, Miami will beat us.
by Raven_all_day on Oct 24, 2010 10:34 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I think the whole punt thing was just to make sure we secured the ball. With where Buffalo was on the field, it was going to be a pinned punt and Harbaugh probably just wanted to make sure it was secured by someone with great hands, and we were having some trouble holding onto the ball on special teams.
"Audibles Are Overrated" - Cam Cameron
Why di dReed fair catch that punt?
On the six yard line no less? That was a terrible mistake and if Zbi had done that, people ould be all over it as a dumb mistake, but since Ed did it he gets a pass? Not from me, boneheaded selfish show-off play.

boneheaded selfish show-off play
The first four words of Reed’s resume. Look, I appreciate what Reed does as far as interceptions. He is certainly a ball hawk. But, and it’s a huge BUT, in general, he makes our defense less effective. He’s well known for NEVER being where he’s supposed to be on the field for the play that’s called.
That’s why there was little/no help over the top yesterday from him. He plays the position as if he’s meant to roam the field and “help out where he thinks he’s needed”. Ed is all about Ed first. The second INT should show that yesterday.
After the first 10 yards or so of the return, he was just running around, actually pretty slowly (I thought) from defender group to defender group and making them miss. If he was really intent on contributing beyond the INT, he would have headed straight for the endzone instead of running around like a rat in a maze.
Again, I’m glad to have him back, but still expect that, unless the ball is thrown to the area of the field Reed has picked on that play to patrol, he’s not gonna be much help.

Let’s give the guy a break now. Holy shit. This was his first game back, let him get adjusted to playing again. Everything will be fine. I guarantee everyone here that what happened yesterday, will not happen again this season no matter who we are playing against at QB.

wow did he just say that ed reed will not be much help are you kidding me?
I guess you like Tom Z better becuase I know if he was on the field he wouldnt even get a interceptions and probably would had loss that game

by GrumpyOldBird on Oct 26, 2010 10:27 AM EDT up reply actions
My thought is Harbaugh was sick of people letting punts go over their head last week
and losing extra yardage. He wanted someone surehanded in there to fair catch it. The coverage got down there quickly, Ed made the right decision, they could have downed it at the 1
"You know how I get the safety? No safety so I went to hit Ray, and I lost...BAD" Chad Johnson on trying to block the great #52
Except that,
As I recall it, there was no one within 10 yards or so of Reed when he was on the 5 near the left hash. Chances are probably really really good that that ball bounces into the endzone and we start on the 20 rather than the 8 or whatever it was.

I listened to the game
so I didn’t see all the passes Flacco either overthrew or under threw. Some of the problems here might be Flacco, and not the receivers.
Flacco had 3TDs, the Offense wasn’t a problem today, besides our poor Run/Pass ratio. Our Defense was the only reason this game was even close.

Granted the defense played terrible
but it sounded like a lot of Joe’s passes were off the mark. If Manning were like that the Colts would not be as successful. He should be a little more accurate by now.
Flacco looked pretty horrible up until the last three or so possessions of the first half. But, when things aren’t clicking on offense, it’s typically the quarterback that looks bad. I watched a feed online, so it was pretty tough for me to actually see what the issue was. Just based on previous games, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were issues with pass protection, receivers getting open, and play calling, as well.

Should we expect some 4-wide sets. Maybe Stallworth can take the lid off the defense and that will open up some room for Tj and company.

Flacco rarely has time to go through four progessions. One of the most telling stats from filmstudy’s analyses is how often Flacco has less-than-adequate time in the pocket. Chronically poor pass protection and overly long-developing pass plays are the big reasons this happens. I couldn’t blame anybody for checking down quickly behind our patchwork offensive line.

Winning while losing....
Yes a win is a win,however yesterdays was an embarrasment to say the least.Right now we are lucky not to be 0-7 going into a bye week.We can’t stop the run,especially plays that bounce to the outside,our LB’s are not making tackles,the db’s are NO help with arm tackles.We have absolutely NO pass rush and far to often think dropping 8 into coverage and giving the QB all the time he needs is an effective way to defending the pass.Offensively,we try to dictate what we want to do ,without taking advantage of the oppositions weakness’s.We seem to have become a predictable football team on both sides of the ball and other then our kickers,our special teams are far less then special.Perhaps alot of the team was drinking the kool aid,reading the hype and believing all we have to do is show up to win.Its a great time for a bye and I have faith that this team hasn’t begun to peak,which we all no peaking early doesn’t win championships,its almost always who’s playing the best at the end.I’ll take 5-2 at the break and the team will get better when the coaches get back to “PLAYING LIKE A RAVEN”,playing with some urgency and a helluva lot more intensity.We need to get back into playing “power football” where we control the clock,RUN THE BALL,move the chains and play hard nosed defense.Sure its not pretty,but it has always been effective and its always worked for us!
better lucky then good...
we’re as close to 0-7 as we are to 7-0 and we’ll all agree we’ll take 5-2 at this point.Thats not overracting,thats reality,,,
