Ravens Beat Up On Colts, Win 24-10

The Ravens came out firing on all cylinders against the Indianapolis Colts today. Joe Flacco hooked up with Torrey Smith early and often in the first half. Cam Cameron mixed in some creative runs with Ray Rice and the Ravens got an early lead as each player came away with a first half touchdown. Torrey Smith continues to prove his validity as a play-maker by making catches on a variety of routes. Smith finished the day with five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. Torrey also blocked well down field in the running game, he is improving in all aspects of his game. Now he just needs to learn how to fight out of those arm bars. Rice rushed for 103 yards on 26 carries with a touchdown and added another 46 yards on 6 receptions through the air.
The defense was dominant once again as Terrell Suggs had three strip-sack-fumbles. All three were recovered by Indianapolis. Suggs now has 13 sacks on the year and has to be the leading candidate for AFC Defensive Player of the Year. The Baltimore pass rushed harassed Colts new quarterback Dan Orlovsky all day. This, plus good play by the secondary lead to 17 for 37 for 136 yard day for Orlovsky. He added a passing touchdown in the final seconds of the game that you could see was much more about sticking it to the Ravens defense than being competitive in the game. Baltimore had removed a number of starters at this point, the game was never this close.
Baltimore was able to make a number of plays on intermediate routes in the passing game due to the big play ability of Smith and Evans on the outside. Let's hope this trend continues for the rest of the season as the middle of the field is much less congested now and it opens up a lot of room for players like Anquan Boldin and Ed Dickson.
The Ravens did not go without their bonehead plays though. Flacco threw a poor pass on an interception in the second half. Boldin could have helped his cause by batting the ball down at least. It appeared he gave up on the play. Ray Rice added a rare fumble in the second and Bryant McKinnie whiffed on a few blocks of Dwight Freeney that led to sacks. Baltimore still needs some work on their two minute offense it seems as they found themselves at third and long with two minutes left in the first half and were forced to punt.
All in all it was a good day for the Ravens though as this team seems to be gelling at the right time. They sit at 10-3 and atop the AFC north. Next week they head to San Deigo for what is sure to be a hard fought battle with the Chargers. Baltimore will need to prove they can win on the road as two out of their last three games come against quality opponents away from home.

Darn that last Colts score!
Ravens favored by 16.5 and that last lay TD made it a 14 point game and a lot of bettors lost on that final play!
Also, that 4th down call was stupid, as a FB up the middle or pitch outside and the best bet of a Flacco sneak would have made the first down.
Without that play and the pick in the EZ on a horrible pass, the Ravens bow them out real bad (or good) and easily cover.
aka 'Rexx'
… the pick in the EZ on a horrible pass …
How about the pick in the end zone on a horrible effort by Boldin? Even the announcers made a big deal of it.

Bruce Raffel
Only Bruce brings up 3 negatives as his first comments about a perfect victory by Baltimore.
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
I didn't see it well,
and I’ll admit that Q didn’t go for the ball, but it didn’t look to me like the pass should have ever been thrown.

A lot of passes would look like they shouldn’t have been thrown if the receiver didn’t bother making a play.

Like I said,
I didn’t see it that well (it was on the opposite side of the field from where I am). I can imagine that if Boldin went up for the ball he may have come down with it between the two defenders, but at the time I didn’t like Flacco ‘threading the needle’ as I saw it.

Like Amp said, it was a crappy effort by Boldin. I could see perfectly that Boldin did not make an effort to go for that ball because he was probably going to get rocked by the defender.

Is it possible that he didn’t want to take hard contact at that stage of the game, believing it won (assuming of course the score was baltimore a lit, indi a little)?
Montreal Canadiens///Toronto Blue Jays///Baltimore Ravens
Definitely not. Not really sure how to interpret what happened there. It was too much of an aggressive throw by Joe and a lack of effort by Boldin. Also, Cam shouldn’t be calling those plays there, just give Rice the ball for a 4-5 yard gain and kick another FG.

If Boldin bothers putting his hands up on that route, nobody would be talking about whether Flacco should have thrown that pass. Wasn’t Boldin supposed to be reliable in traffic? He’s had several high profile, unBoldin-like drops since joining the Ravens.

This year especially
his hands have been quite questionable. I remember reading last year that he always was tops in the league at not dropping passes. I think he dropped 3 in 18 games last year. He’s definitely well above that so far.

yeah I’m not sure if he had a drop yesterday, but I believe film study said he had 5 games straight with a dropped pass. That’s very alarming to me and some have been dropped in key situations. The ones that really come to mind are the last game in Pitt when he dropped one on the final drive then of course last playoff game in pitt where he had that drop in the endzone.

I don't think he had one that would be scored a drop,
but from the way Amp is talking about it, the interception was almost entirely on him. I would consider that to be a ‘drop.’

Very true
I was thinking the same thing. Just don’t think we needed to make that play at that time. It was a manageable third down.
Don't let my defense dictate your offense..
Suggs is just down right amazing
He has already had the best season of his entire career, and we still have 3 games left. 13 sacks 6 FF’s, 2 ints and 5 PDF on the year is good enough for DPOY.
I have been saying it since the beginning of the season, Suggs is the best OLB in this division, maybe in this entire conference (leads the AFC in sacks) Those pussies in Pittsburgh got nothing on Sizzle.

Yea very true. But If Suggs continues on like he did today, he might end up with 17-19 sacks and 8-10 FF. I would think Suggs might get a bit more love because he did it on a winning team and it was obviously a major contribution to our team’s overall success for the year where as it looks like Allen’s great production will mean shit to that team.
Either way, Suggs is having an amazing year and has submitted himself as a top 5 pass rusher in this league.

The first games against the Ohio teams weren’t great statistical outings for Suggs; hopefully he’ll make up for that the second time around. I don’t know much about the Chargers’ personnel, but I imagine their offensive line isn’t in great shape if Gaither is starting for them days after being signed, so that’ll be a great chance for Suggs to get his stats up.

Gaither looked good in his first start for the Chargers. I’m not calling for a shutout of Suggs, but I don’t think a Suggs career day is a forgone conclusion, either. It’s not like Gaither’s never lined up across from Suggs before.

Yup, but this isn’t 2008 Gaither anymore. The Chargers whole O-Line is beat up, they’ve lost McNeil, Vasquez and Hardwick. Those are their 3 best O-Line. Guys like Kruger, McPhee and JJ should have beastly games.

I agree, but the other side of that is also that we didn’t see or stat those practices. Could be that every time a practice ended, Gaither was heard to say, “Thank god I don’t have to play him for real!”. Judging by their relative success, hard to argue it’s not the case.

If we’re speculating, then I think it’s fair to say that most tackles in the NFL would say the same thing were they in his shoes.

I wouldnt be against Suggs as the DPOY
But if Jared Allen beats that record, then I think he has earned it. But like Malor said, the DPOY should really go to a team that was completely dominant on defense.

I was shocked when Ware had 20 sacks a few seasons ago and didn’t win it, those awards are meaningless.
That was the year Harrison won it. It was close, I think Harrison was the more complete player. Demarcus Ware in that defense was blitzing on 90% of downs, he was really a one trick pony, whereas Harrison had over 100 tackles, dropped back in coverage and did it in key moments of games, hence why I think he was chosen as more deserving.
It will likely be the same case scenario this year, I think Suggs will win it if he keeps going.

Tyrod Taylor
Should be used as QB for at least a few snaps in a game like this. I like him as the backup. He can do a lot, and with a game like this one, I say give the guy some NFL experience. Another point is this; while its true the Colts are winless, Mathis and Freeny are still good players and could have hurt Joe with one play. Why take a chance in a game where we don’t have to?
We were up 21 with 3 min left. I know it was the winless Colts, but the game isn’t over till it’s over. Tyrod was just going to hand off to Rice the whole time anyway, so might as well just keep Joe in there who is much better at that job than Tyrod is. I had no problem with Joe playing the whole game.
I never want to see Tyrod at QB unless we are up 30 points with 90 seconds left.

Great win to stay at the top
first time commenter here. huge ravens fan grew up in charm city living in florida. always enjoyed logging in and reading the articles. my favorite ravens site to visit.
thought that was a great win on all parts. offense, special teams and defense. love the fact that we are gettin back to realizing if rice gets the ball, great chance we win. they say we have the easiest schedule left in the division but i beg to differ. san diego has been playing hott lately. see if that changes when the ravens play them. browns should be automatic “w” at home. cincy is worrisome because a division opponent. regardless.. no lie the beginning of the year predicted we would go 13-3 just not losing the games we did. just think we would have the chance to be competing with the packers for an undefeated season if not for losing to those sorry teams.
