Shotgun Formation Saves Our Lives: Ravens Win 30-27

PrintEven though this game shouldn't have been close, it was. And it looked like we were looking ahead to next week during the first half trailing 24-6. But with a little bit of hope, plays out of the Shotgun formation, and honestly a bit of luck, the Baltimore Ravens narrowly pulled out the win over the Arizona Cardinals, with Billy Cundiff putting the nail in the coffin to put the Ravens ahead 30-27 with no time left.
Obviously the Ravens have some things to clean up before next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but for now enjoy this exciting win. This week's gameball has to go to Anquan Boldin, for putting his team in position to win by making a lot of crucial catches and beating his former team in the process. I look forward to seeing you all next week as we take on the Steelers.
GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!

its a win and I'll take it but...
what a cluster f@#k… no question tham Cam should be fired..A win doesnt change what i have seen the last two games.
This game showed a few things
- Shotgun is Joe Flacco’s best friend.
- Our team has got some serious heart. Even though it was the Cardinals, we were down 24-3 at one point, and our offense was “playing” like the way it did against the Jags. Great resiliency to come back.
- Our D gave up some TD’s, but when it really mattered, they hammered down and got the job done. T-Sizzle was unstoppable today (and most other days).
- Anquan Boldin is a beast.
Obviously, we’ve got to work on several things, but for now, GREAT WIN! GO RAVENS!
Remember that while the D gave up 20 pts (one score off a punt return),
both TDs came off turnovers. One of the TD drives started at the 2. The other started around the 25.
The offense may have been terrible the past 2 weeks, but the defense has been equally outstanding. The Cards had a little over 200 total yds, and 153 passing yds (not counting sacks, which accounted for -55 yards). 66 of those came on one play. 6 sacks, a couple forced fumbles (we’ll recover another fumble one day), and 2 INTs (one of which came back on a questionable call). Ray dropped a pick 6. Suggs had an awesome game, despite 2 missed sacks, and Krugar had his best game as a Raven.
Your other points are spot on. I can only hope, however, that we don’t come out next week like we did today. We can’t afford to spot Pitt a large lead.

What is it about the shotgun that’s good for flacco?
Montreal Canadiens///Toronto Blue Jays///Baltimore Ravens
It gives him a little more time to look over the field and for receivers to get open since he’s standing a couple yards back instead of under the center. Our line is horrible in pass blocking, so when he’s under center there’s just not much time to get the throw off.
On Ed Reed:
"I’ve told him to his face many times, ‘You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,’"
"We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."

The downside being it's harder to run from.

Right, that makes sense. In that case, the shotgun is the O-line’s friend also!
Montreal Canadiens///Toronto Blue Jays///Baltimore Ravens
yes it helps out a bit when they can’t pass protect as well, but the reason we don’t use it all game like organizedchaos52 said is because it’s harder to run out of and we like to run the ball.

On the Otherhand
In Buffalo’s K-gun offense Thurman Thomas was able to run effectively. Ray Rice is a better version of Thurman Thomas. Similar RB’s, but ours is better.
Second half of Sunday’s game had shades of the K-Gun. Would like to see more. But it can gas your defense. Put me in the camp of beating the drum for more K-Gun.

What a beautiful team victory
Man that offense was good in the 2nd half. Joe really stepped his game up, so glad to see my boy stay at it for 60 minutes.
Torrey, Boldin, Kruger, Suggs……wow.
5-2 and onto Pitt!
Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

As an admin, maybe you can answer this for me and undoubtedly the rest of the site…. How hasn’t he been banned yet? Now that he seems to be going on to everyone’s twitter and researching everyone out like some weird ass stalker. How is that accepted on a regular basis and not just turned away at the door? I hate to say it, but I know a lot of others feel the same way about it, but it brings down the quality of the site and makes things on here incredibly hostile for absolutely 0 benefit. For a site striving for legitimacy as a media entity, having him on here completely takes all of that away and makes us all look like a joke.
I dig the traffic he brings in on stuff and how that can negate his attitude a bit from a pure $ standpoint, but we all know he has driven away a few good members on here and is more of a disgrace than anything else.

I’m pretty sure he just said he didn’t leave the game at the half. I also wouldn’t say he “melted down” all week either. Malor had some legit concerns about our team as did anyone that saw the Jax game and saw poor everything on every side of the ball.

Exactly, and I am the type of fan that “needs to see it to believe it.” I doubted Joe and that offense after the worst offensive performance the league saw this season against JAX. I defend this team and especially Joe more than anyone here, and it hurts when we get embarrassed like last week.
In the first half, we were seeing the same things. Poor passes, Rice wasn’t seeing the ball, Joe was having dumb fumbles, WR were dropping balls which turned into ints. I was pissed, as were the other 78,000 fans. Were we supposed to cheer when we were down 18 because of the offense?
I was livid all week long, but mannnnn did that game feel good today. Alot of Flacco HATERS were dead quiet in that 2nd half.

A couple of things I don't agree with.
Rice had more carries in the first half (9) than all game last week (8), and exactly half of his total carries on the day (18) [he also had 5 catches, not sure on the breakdown there].
The bigger problem I saw was that Rice seemed to get pulled after his taunting penalty. If that’s the case, there’s a big problem. You don’t bench your best player over a questionable penalty (maybe they put Ricky in for pass protection [I think Ray’s fine in pass protection personally], or to give Rice a rest).
Also, M&T only holds slightly over 70k, so definitely not 78k. But glad that everyone shut up about Flacco in the 2nd half.

Rice did have more carries than last week, but he was a ghost in the 2nd quarter after he had a pretty solid first quarter. Cam stopped giving him the ball.
Ricky played well, he made some nice runs and catches.

Rice is horrible as a pass blocker. He’s just too small to really stick his helmet into a defenders chest and stick a block regularly. I hate to say it, but that is the exact reason Ricky is here.
Malor’s point is valid though. Offensively, we were not doing good things in the first half and to be honest, I almost hoped we lost by 45 just so we could fire Cam on the spot. I was surprised and excited to see us come out in the second half in the shotgun, and using shorter, quicker routes to maximize on our WRs while mixing it up by sending Boldin and Torrey downfield occasionally. That seriously was the gameplan that should have been in place to begin with and should absolutely be in place from minute 1 next week.

Apart from last week,
do you remember any other time his pass blocking has been questioned? I’ve always thought he’s done pretty damn well when kept in (even against JAX). The first time I’ve heard ppl complain was last week (selective hearing perhaps). Don’t tell me he’s too small.

Anything on Shawn Merriman shouldn’t be taken seriously :) For what Rice wants to do (stand there and get in the way), he’s too small. He needs to run up and stick a helmet in the defenders chest to have a shot at it.
I don’t remember it being as bad as last week and this week, but it has always been a bit of a problem. That is why we always have a larger back and why you have been seeing them go into the game on 3rd downs more often. We used Willis and McClain the same way.

See,
I remember Rice coming in on 3rd down due to his ridiculous pass catching ability in comparison to the other two.
I really don’t think he’s that bad of a pass blocker. Also, on one of the sacks (to D. Smith)/pressures he gave up last week (I remember two, but my memory of JAX is extremely hazy), he took some pretty nasty hands to the face (uncalled of course, but it twisted his head around pretty good).

I’m not saying he’s horrible at it, but he has had his issues of coming up and sticking the block instead of waiting for the pass rusher to come to him. We do put him in there on 3rd downs to catch passes, but never really as a blocker. When the Oline isn’t doing well, you’ll start seeing Ricky come in on 3rd downs more often

Yea, Rice is to good as a receiver to come out.
We should just try to stay out of situations were he has to block a guy one on one. Let him chip guys and then go out as a receiver to be the dump off guy. Teams will respect his receiving abilities, and stop sending an extra blitzer once he burns them.

Yeah, as a chipper he is brilliant. But we have 2 big TEs and we can use 1 of them to block at all times while the other goes out for passes. Rice can then chip and go out for his pass and it buys Joe that extra second or 2 and makes everything a lot better..

Let me refine that answer… He’s horrible as a pass blocker. He’s really solid as a chip out of the backfield while going out for a pass. Keeping him in to block is a mismatch most of the time.

I'll Bite
That was 2010. I going to take a wild-a$$ guess and say he worked a bit on his pass blocking in the off-season. Except for Jax, according to my eyes, which is hardly scientific, he appears to actually be doing a decent job pass-blocking. Now I did not personally see the Titans game, so I do not know how good or bad he did then. Yeah, he has the occasional whiff, but who doesn’t?
He cannot just run out of the backfield or chip on every pass play -then we become too predicable. By keeping him in occasionally, it will hopefully help the PA.

I don’t think it was Flacco’s fault that we were down so early in the game, that was all on the O-line
Still wouldn’t mind getting rid of the ball. And these strip sacks need to stop, I don’t care how bad the OL got beat, hold onto the ball. Flacco leads the league in fumbles lost or is right at the top. That is a game killer, especially against a team like Pitt.

But those fumbles aren’t really on him either. That second one was because he was trying to throw it. Keep in mind that if he tucks it, its guaranteed to be a sack where if he holds on to it, its been a good completion as of late. I think he just needs to work on his hand strength and holding the ball higher, its right in the swipe lane now and it gets knocked out because of that.

It was bad in the first half, people were really getting after him. But it is funny to hear them in the 2nd half not say anything. They always say nice catch by the WR and never good pass by Joe. Some fans hate when he does good, but love when he does bad.
The boy stepped up big time. Made me realize why I have 3 of his jerseys.
Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.
Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

that was good game for the offense and they Cam/ Joe flacco really adjusted to what the cardinals defense were giving them,
I would like to say how many times does Laquan Williams have to drop a pass and still be on the depth chart higher than David Reed and Tandon Doss? I like williams and think he has the potentials to be a very good wideout but it would be nice to see reed or doss on offense more often since they have better hands
NO LEE EVANS= WE NEED T.O GET YOUR POP CORN READY!!!
flacco stepped it up when we needed him most
putting a guy with a bad line in the shotgun every down and telling him to wing it takes balls. they made a decision to sink or swim on flacco’s shoulders today, and they swam.
btw, I think the defense is playing at an amazing level. kruger and mcphee have both proven they can be pass rushers
enough with the joe bro-love....I'm going to puke
Everyone wanted his ass benched in the first half, and deservedly so.. he sucked on some throws and was ok on some others, thank god boldin decided to man up. Cam’s play calling didnt help anyone. the o-line stunk up another game (why we had to go shotgun against a 26th ranked defense) , the Special teams were just that “SPECIAL”…..As a fan I am left to wonder why everyone is so happy now?..Yes.. we won, but why shouldn’t we have?..I dont expect to win every game by 30 but c’mon man, this was a terrible game by the offense again. this game should have been over at the half. I’m not about to kiss joes ass after what I saw. Don’t get too excited about Sundays game against pitt..(i’ve heard they play a better defense and we will be on the road)
Joe played a hell of a game and we pulled out an incredible comeback. I will take that everyday of the week (or every sunday you know what I mean.). We are happy because we won that’s why. You can sit and be depressed and hate all you want we will continue to enjoy this win and bring out the brooms because I’m feeling a sweep.

I can be objective without being a bandwagon fan. I am not happy with our game plan and as a fan you shouldnt be either. I will take the win, but we as a team need to pull our head out of our ass.
This is the NFL every game isn’t going to start out the way you want it to. The great teams are the ones that show an ability to make game adjustments and that’s what we did today.

Dude, I only see you on here when things go bad. I hate to say it, but you don’t make any positive comments on anything. Not really sure what happened between us in the playoffs, but how are you not happy after a good comeback win like that?
It wasn’t a great 60 minutes, but we got things on track and played an amazing 30 minutes of football in order to win. Keep in mind that Pitt beat us in the playoffs with 30 minutes of amazing football after 30 minutes of terrible football, so that type of thing wins you games in the league.

again..not unhappy with a win..please dont say that
i’m not only here when things are bad, we won right?…lol..I’m just not happy with our game planning, coordinating, executing,..etc.. I can be happy with a win I just think we are a better team than we have shown for the last two weeks…I cant be the only one when we have been picked to “blow out” the jags and cards…I just think we are better than this…and in the playoffs we went back and forth about kind of the same thing, I was dissatisfied with the offense and you said lets see what they do……
Oh I agree with you to a certain extent here. The first half was horrible from an offensive standpoint. The difference between this week and last week was Cam changing the gameplan around to fix the issues at halftime. As long as Cam can change things a little earlier in the game, then this is a complete blowout.
I too am expecting more from the team as a whole, but you have to admit that the offense had a good day by the end of the day (Throwing for 336 and rushing for 100+). If Torrey catches that ball, then Flacco’s rating is around 90-100 on the day, which is pretty solid and the Cards don’t get good field position and 7 points.
We will keep improving as long as Cam lets the team improve. But that really doesn’t make it a bad day. The offense without Cam, in my opinion, could be a top 10 offense if we play like we did in the second half and we would be much more consistent overall.

its not how you start its about how you finish. Joe Flacco did have some mistakes also the wideouts and o-line but they stuck together to come out with a win. I am sure the ravens will look at there mistakes and correct them also the offense will be much better with the addition of a healthy Lee Evans/ Ben Grubbs(hopefully)

Not too damn shabby by Flacco there. It was a great 2nd half of football and if we can get a full 60 minutes, this game wouldn’t have been close. Had Torrey not dropped that ball, he wouldnt have had an INT either.
The difference from the first half and the second half was the playcalling. That is what it looks like when an OC changes a gameplan in the middle of a game and its how you win in the NFL.

That defense is insane. We have nearly matched our sack total from last year in only 7 games. Not so sure about this one, but please tell me the PI on Webb when Reed got that int was bullshit call. I saw nothing, but need to go back and watch it again.

Shot gun is a must because of the line it gives Flacco that extra bit of time to look over the field and for the receivers to get open. Hopefully we start out in shotgun next week and we got a lot of momentum heading into the week.

Not sure I’d want to play them coming off a loss.

What’s with all the Cameron hate? I hate the dude as much as the next ravens fan but you have to give him credit for what he did today.
He finally realized that to beat the blitz, you line up 4 wide and do quick reads.
Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.
Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang
Agreed. Don’t understand how he hasn’t got it that you can’t run deep routes when teams are blitzing the crap out of us. 2nd half was exactly what are passing games needs to look like then the blitz will slow down and then we can run some of those deeper routes.

Anquan is the Man
As soon as Cam and Flacco recognize this, the Ravens will compete for a Super Bowl!

I think they are done. Defense can’t get off the field. I knew their D wasn’t great, but didn’t realize it was this bad.

They just refuse to draft some pass rushers high. They have all these picks and neglect probably their biggest need.

I remember hearing about it a few times, but not since.
It makes sense that if it was in your home state there would be a lot of questions/discussion about fixing that.

The last I heard of the family was waiting until the police investigation was over with until they decided to press charges. And 13 players were kicked off the team and lost their scholarships. Stupid decision on their behalf.

Indeed, they have a good record as far as I can tell. Mtl had such a bad start that they fired the assistant coach, but we just beat philly and home and home against boston (our version of pitt-baltimore rivalry). Huge week by the team, and coach probably saved his skin too.
Definitely looking forward to playing Washington, you’re lucky to have such a talented group of players…outstanding.
Montreal Canadiens///Toronto Blue Jays///Baltimore Ravens
We have been rather lucky to get such great players. But we need to get over the hump we always face where we start off strong and get eliminated early.

They shouldnt. NE couldnt cover anything all day long or get a pass rush either. The fact that game was close should really give us hope since our D will play a LOT better than NE did. Hopefully Cam is on his game next week and it should be another win.

NE defense and our Defense are night and day
defensively I look forward to this game. Its just that I don’t know what offense is traveling to pitt.
NE's defense was trash
It’ll be a significant step up in class when they face us. I think this was just the type of game our offense needed to get itself going. Hopefully Cam realizes that he should implement more shotgun into the game planning. We’re slowly becoming a team with pass first mentality, with an excellent run game to boot.
