The 23, The 20, and THE WIN!!!

by vlad755 on Nov 7, 2011 3:56 PM EST

This was a throwback championship bout between two heavyweights- fifteen rounds, not the wussy twelve round max they impose nowadays. This was Ali-Frazier; the "Rumble in the Jungle"; the "The Thrilla in Manilla"; "The Bout in the ‘Burgh"…

Blow after blow was landed and absorbed. Knees buckled; standing eight counts were answered. Black and blue bruised; this was football the way the gods intended it to be played.

For the neutral fan, wow, what a treat- one of the best games of the year! Nothing left on the field. For Baltimore, the sun is out today, temperature rather mild for this time of year and the Ravens went 2 – 0 against the hated squeelers!!! Is it Christmas?

And what a great subplot to the bout- Torrey Smith. He gets victimized by a veteran dive move on the first play from scrimmage that the refs fell for hook, line and sinker, drops two passes, one of which would have been the game winning touchdown, and then does indeed catch the game winning touchdown from QB Joe Flacco. Somewhere, Jerry Maguire is chuckling because even Hollywood couldn’t have written the "Torrey Smith Story" from last night. I cannot imagine the emotional rollercoaster the rookie was on last night.

The Good

Have to start with Joe Cool. He still has ball security issues. But that winning drive. Needing a touchdown. In Pittsburgh. Can he get a break from the critics? Just for a little while? So, let us review: "Joe has never beaten Ben" –check, Week1; "Joe has never beaten Ben in P-burgh" –check, last night. Take a wild guess what Joe’s regular season record is against the squeelers. 1 – 7? Oh, at best it has got to be 2 – 6, right? BBZZZTTTTT!!! 4 – 4. Not great, but not too shabby either considering the competition. Know what? That is fine. Oh, not even going to mention the fact that Joe was the victim of "Hands of Kiln Fired Clay" by his receivers –at least four that I can recall and maybe even one or two more- two by the rookie Torrey Smith and one by Boldin late in the game. Boldin, you have *got* to make that catch in that situation –no excuses.

The Twin Tight Ends. We all said our TE’s are a huge asset against the P-Burgh defense and we must leverage that –and we did. Very good game from both of them.

Cam. He catches it when he does bad and rightfully so; so I have to give him props when he does well. I felt that Cam was feeling the rhythm of the game much better than previously. Took good shots deep and seemed to dial up a good play when needed.

Cundiff. Missed one, but made up for it by making the rest, including a fifty yarder that was dead center, and then burying the kickoffs late when he had to. Last thing you want is Brown taking one back. Launch that puppy into orbit late in the fourth quarter and he did. NASA would be proud.

Suggs. How the heck did he read that play when he picked it? If only he could have kept his feet… Suggs may not have had his most dominant pass rushing game last night, but last night was a prime example of why I believe he is the most complete OLB in the game right now. He covered, he rushed, he tackled, he absolutely never ever loses contain, and his backside pursuit is the best in the business. And he made a big play when the defense needed it. You can have Troy, Woodley, Farrior, Harrison –I’ll take Suggs, this season. DPOY right there. Book it.

Cary Williams. Had some HUGE PD’s. When our secondary is on, as a unit, one of the best in the league, and without Jimmy Smith. Can’t wait ‘til he gets healed and up to speed.

Pass blocking. Amazing what a difference Grubbs makes. Ravens have a "good problem" –I don’t know that they can let Grubbs go at the end of the season- I think they have to pay him. And it won’t be pretty. How much for a guard? A GUARD?!?!? But, he is a difference maker. Yeah Joe was sacked a couple of times and the strip-fumble, but it is still the P-burgh defense- they are going to get theirs no matter what. In my book, last night, in P-Burgh, is about as best you can hope for.

Michel Oher. Two solid games in a row (I’ll wait for Filmstudy’s confirmation, but he appeared to pass the sniff test). For someone who started the season out fairly badly, he seems to have gotten it together. Whatever clicked, Hallelujah! Maybe we are still a game or two away, but if by game 11 or 12 the O-line is clicking on all cylinders, ya gotta start to believe…

Nice bounce back for the Special Teams. Okay coverage, but definitely better blocking on returns. Reed looked like he a little extra step last night, fumble not withstanding (thanking my Vonte Voodoo doll on that one…).

The Bad

Run blocking. Funny how Grubbs seemed to not miss a beat on pass blocking but yet the unit was pu-doo run blocking –I figured it would have been the other way around. Rice had room on the first play from scrimmage and his touchdown run and that was it. The O-line gave him and Ricky nothing to work with. There were times when Rice had two or three (ugly, btw) jerseys in the backfield and he still made one or two yards, on his own.

The Ugly

Look, I am happy that the Ravens got some calls their way that maybe could have gone either way. What I cannot stand, and what pretty much every other fan cannot stand, is when the refs insert themselves in a game, especially like this. I do not know what the overnight numbers were last night, but they had to be off the charts for NBC. Fans wanted to see two heavyweight contenders slug it out- cutmen working overtime in each corner, big doofs launching haymakers; not a bunch of zebras parsing the rulebook. Let them play! Yes, call the encroachments and false starts; but anything else, unless it is a blatant take down, let ‘em play. Again, even though it benefitted the Ravens, I really *hate* the defenseless receiver rule. That is football-! Separate the man from the ball. How can you not appreciate a good snot-bubble hit-? Instead Goodell is attempting to neuter like it is some feel-good useless liberal, feminist, seminar on "Lookism" (that is an actual liberal term that I had to learn the definition of, I kid you not). A game like last night should have had the NFL’s "A" crew –that crew was not the "A" crew. More like the "A-Team" after a drunken bender… HOW IN ALL THAT IS RIGHT AND GOOD CAN YOU CALL A FIRST AND GOAL ON A DEFENSIVE PI WHEN A TOUCHDOWN IS SCORED?????????????????? Yeah, they corrected it, but if ever there was fodder for the tinfoil conspiracy set about helpin’ out the Rooneys at the expense of the Ravens… I guess spotting the ball on the one would have been a little too obvious, given the Holmes TD, the ~~dive~~ holding call to start the game; the quick whistle on the Rice ~~touchdown~~ tackle. Shall I continue? Worse than a Clinton Press conference- "...wait a minute, let me follow the script here… What? We off-script now? Oh jeez, have to make some stuff up to achieve desired result…"

What I would give for a healthy Lee Evans. With this offense, having both Evans and Smith, with Boldin, the TE’s and Rice –Flacco’s head would probably explode. Either that, or all the lamps would be knocked over in the Flacco household because of the state of Joe's excitement... If, IF, Cam can get all the pieces ever in the right place, and healthy, look out.

The endorphins are still coursing through my veins. What a high, what a freakin’ high right now. I cannot recall who is up next for the Ravens and "Frankly, Scarlett…"

The Twin Tight Ends. We all said our TE’s are a huge asset against the P-Burgh defense and we must leverage that –and we did. Very good game from both of them.

I said this to Steeler fans last week.

Don’t overlook TE Dennis Pitta either

He had a nice game against you guys in week 1. Granted it was only 2 catches, they were for big yards.

We have been running the two tight end offense alot lately, mainly because our WR are so inexperienced (3 rookies and a 2nd year player) and both Dickson and Pitta are farther along the curve than we thought. Pitta has been a first down machine while Dickson has been our downfield threat. Cam Cameron uses him basically in the same way he used Gates while in San Diego.

Pitta is the man. So is Dickson. They have combined for 51 catches this season. Miss Heap much?

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

Only problem I have with him is the 2 first and goals where he passed on both plays, and they were are the 4 and 1 yard lines. Run, run run on first and goal please.

No more Chokin’ Joe or Floppin’ Flacco, Pittsburgh. The man stood under his team’s goal posts with 2:24 remaining and went boom, boom, boom down the field, converting one fourth down and two third downs, even overcoming two drops along the way.

“You have to give Joe Flacco credit,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “He got the job done.”

“He won the game,” counterpart Ben Roethlisberger said. “He’s a good player, and he stepped up when needed.”

BTW great game. That was the best games of football ive seen in a long time, about as close of a game as you can get. Can’t wait till these teams see eachother again in January. I truly believe this year will be a rematch of the 2008 Ravens/Steelers AFC championship game. This year, like many past years, these teams especially the defenses are just built to win in the playoffs. And both offenses are looking pretty solid.

Awesome as always Vlad. Agree with everything. Very happy to see Oher starting to return to form. That really helps solidify our O line. Mckinnie got abused, but in his defense Harrison didn’t look like he missed anytime at all. Our CB’s have a chance to be scary good. They sound like they want to get Jimmy some more reps and I feel comfortable with any of our CB’s on the field at anytime. I feel GB is clearly the best team in the league right now, but with our CB’s getting healthy I don’t know that there is a better team to matchup against them defensively.

I have to agree about the run blocking....

I was baffled that it wasn’t better, considering what an upgrade Grubbs is over Gurode. But it is the Pitt D, so maybe I can let it slide once. Rice had 18 carries for 43yds. and one TD. Williams had 9 touches for 24yds. There is def. room for improvement there. Although, Pitt knows us better than anyone and makes it their priority to stop Rice and they did a good job containing him and filling in the gaps. I also agree about Cam. He rolled with the punches and most of the time made the right call. In this instance, I don’t mind that Joe had 40 some odd attempts….I think that’s absolutely how you beat Pitt is to air it out. Cam and Joe saw the mismatches and exploited the hell out of them and their secondary. Lastly, I agree about the goal line attempts. WTF are you doing passing on 1st and goal….I don’t care if it’s Pitt D or some High School D. We need to finish those drives with more 7s than 3s. Had we done that last night the score wouldn’t have been nearly as close. I’d like to see a goal line heavy package that involved a combination of Leach carrying the ball with Ngata run blocking….a little more creativity would be nice.

run blocking

i think the steelers went all in for stopping rice, and this led to the amazing third down completion rate. the ravens did exactly what tom brady couldn’t last week. my beloved steelers will have to alter the gameplan now to play joe a lot more like they played brady. of course, this will make it more difficult to defend rice. great win for you guys. congrats. i’m one the few, odd fans who, if the steelers aren’t gonna make it, hope the ravens do. i guess i just like a certain style of football.

Amazing story there Vlad and absolutely correct on all counts.

Let us as a group of fans all applaud Cam right now for the hell of a game he called. It could have been better (4th and 1 and you call a medium ranged pass!!! Rushing Rice up the middle behind Birk instead of the outside and letting the WRs bash on the DBs a bit?), but it was the best I expect from Cam and it was enough to get us the win with pretty solid offensive numbers. I do agree with Westminster above me that Cam needs to get a little more creative with the redzone stuff as rushing it up the middle just isn’t cutting it right now with our line and Rice.

by Mstevens_Design on Nov 7, 2011 5:49 PM EST reply actions

Cams play calling doesn’t make any sense and that has come in handy against the best teams such as Pitt, NE, NO, and San Diego. But, can it be depended upon? We all know about 1st and goal on the 1. Billick was infamous for throwing the fade in that situation. John Ogden threw his helmet in DC over that play. It may be the play that tells the most about a coach.

Unpredicatable in sports is good, unless it undermines the odds. Moving a ball 3 feet in 4 downs is much more likely to happen than completing a pass that travels 10 yards amidst a compressed D and then resorting to running on a very obvious 2nd down after the 1st down failure and pressure to use common sense and run. Almost every coach who passes in that situation then tries to run it in. Rarely, do you see three straight passes from that location. A handoff is a quick, safe execution resulting in a positive gain 90% of the time. A pass is a 50% proposition throughout a game but the odds may be less in the red zone.

Cam chose pass because it defied odds and would be a surprise. It may surprise the awaiting D line who are expecting the rush but the DB’s are still there with the WR’s. They are not surprised and cover the receiver with the same smothering red zone D. The pass on 1st and goal on the 1 is actually not a surprise at all.

If you make up your mind entering the situation you can count on 4 plays to move the ball 3 feet. Ounce you pass you have expired those great odds. It is an over-thought process. To run on 1st is a show of strength, resolve and foresight.

Cam put Flacco in way too many 3rd and longs but continued to unsuccessfully run on 2nd and longs. With an average of 4 yards a carry you will most likely put a QB in an obvious 3rd down pass situation when you run on anything more than 2nd and 6. Cam ran on 2nd and 12, 2nd and 9 and I’m sure a few other key 2nd and longs. With Flaccos known trouble on obvious 3rd down pass downs against the Steelers Cam was asking for trouble.

BUT, Flacco battled and did pretty well in those tough situations. Flacco could of had the same success on 2nd down passing and we did not have to wait until the white knuckled 3rd downs to get our 1st downs. Cam played with fire and Flacco scraped out a victory.

Cam has provided play calling that has beat great teams but is it smart enough to provide consistancy througout the playoffs.

by raven on Nov 7, 2011 6:43 PM EST reply actions

Unfortunately this is true. Even in wins Cam still makes quite a few questionable calls that just don’t make sense and leave you scratching your head. He just over thinks it way to much at times.

I thought Cam called a smart game

Interesting you criticize him for passing instead of running, then for running instead of passing. So in other words, if it didn’t work it wasn’t smart. SMH

Goal line we (especially middle of the line) were getting mauled pretty good on the run. Pitt commits with LB crashing the gaps. Many teams (GB, NE) successfully counter this defense with a pass on 1st down, so Cam is not alone in not being smart.

Running on 2nd and long. Think Cam was maybe trying to slow down the pass rush? You want to try predictably passing on 2nd and long all night long against Pitt? That will get Flacco killed, much like it did Ben in game 1.

So overall I think Cam had a pretty good game calling plays and staying patient. 27 rushes and 47 passes is not being conservative or running too much. Ray Rice got 18 touches running and another 5 recieving – right in the low side of the target area. I agree we need to find some different run plays (a misdirection now and then would be nice) but not many teams run successfully against the Steelers – especially at Hines.

2nd and 12, 2nd and 9 are not good run downs. Passing on second down IS a guessing game for the D. 3rd and long is easily diagnosed every time. Passing on second down can give you short 3rd downs which then throws the run back into the equation. A 3rd and 2 is very difficult to defend because 2 things can happem. 3rd and 4,5,6….means pass.

by raven on Nov 7, 2011 9:07 PM EST up reply actions

27 rushes - 47 passes and you are still saying he runs too much.

A pass call on 2nd and 12 can also give you a 3rd and 20. I will try to explain again, you run on 2nd to slow a pass rush. If you want a predictable offense and see Flacco getting more hits – fine. But then don’t complain afterwards about Cam’s play calling and not running the ball enough.

Awesome right up

This game was by far the best I’ve watched in awhile. Watching Flacco take that ball 92 yards was better than the rum laced eggnog I just so happened to acquire during the game. He was beyond masterful. Pocket presence was there, he knew where he wanted to go with the ball and he delivered, strike after heartbreaking strike. My favorite moment was Roethlisberger sitting on the sideline watching with his hands on his face like the kid from Home Alone like he couldn’t believe Flacco was doing a better impersonation of him tonight. This was my superbowl for sure. Flacco you can throw 20 interceptions next game and I’ll still give you an attaboy for this masterful masterful performance. Simply amazing.

Good call

on Oher and Grubbs. Maybe Film will prove us wrong, but at least in pass blocking they both appeared to have solid games, as did Yanda. It kinda pissed me off when everyone was ragging on Oher, like it’s easy to switch postions just before the regular season starts. Fan expectations are sometimes a little unreasonable. You noted McKinne’s struggles, but guessing this will also be Birk’s worst game grade this season. But all things considered, it was nice to have our starting O-line back and we can expect improvement from here on out.

Zebras – interesting that your take was the exact opposite of mine. I thought the refs did let them play and it was remarkable how few (and no ticky-tack) penalties were called in a very rough and physical game. Just looked it up and 3 penaltes on the Ravens and 6 on the Steelers. After the previous two weeks of unbelievably bad refs, I thought this crew did a pretty good job of letting the players determine the outcome of the game.

The Refs and Cam

How many camera shots were there showing the Pitt DBs grabbing the collar/jerseys of Ravens receivers as they broke by them? Smith was held ON EVERY DEEP PLAY! Not a single Def Holding call the whole freakin’ night. Ike Taylor couldn’t cover ANYBODY without help from the refs.

On Cam, the goal line calls really were the only dark spot on the day. Same formation over and over again. How about a strong side Stack and a weak side Run? How about a pitch when Pitt has ALL 11 defenders between the tackles? How about putting someone in motion? The TEs are really great assets, but they are not power blockers. It is okay to run the ball from passing formations. Really, it is.
