Ravens Trail Chargers 17-7: 2nd Half 'Open Thread'

The Baltimore Ravens keep promising their fans that their past transgressions are behind them, but the more things change the more they stay the same. Once again, the Ravens go on the road to play a supposedly inferior team and find themselves unable to replicate their play at home and trail the San Diego Chargers 17-7 at the end of the first half.

Offensively, the Ravens have been able to move the ball with success. However, a play here and there that should have been executed is not and thus the difference in the game. Billy Cundiff misses what should have an easy field goal and the Chargers score a TD on their next possession. The Ravens respond with a score of their own but the Chargers drive down and their field goal kicker shows Cundiff how to do it and San Diego's back on top.

Joe Flacco misses an easy lob to Ry Rice, forcing the team to punt and once again, with time to throw, QB Philip Rivers chucks a long pass downfield and a few plays later they score another TD for the current margin. Without a pass rush, Rivers and his big, fast receivers will toast any secondary, including the Ravens. Hopefully, the second half will see the Ravens turn things around or the league will see the Ravens as a good team, but only in the friendly confines of their home field.

The key issue here, which has become a question since the first game of the season? Where in the world is Ed Reed

Good: Rice running at almost 6 yds/carry and Flacco has a 97 QBR
Bad: Rivers is 11-15 for 170 yards and 110 QBR

a couple of underthrows inside the 30 (one of which should have been a TD), a missed field goal, then the Chargers O was out of the blocks like Bolt.

Norv Turner coaches as if its the mid 90s. He is totally dependent on play action (which IS working tonight). These 3 things are guaranteed:
1. A run will be called on 1 of the first 2 downs
2. When his team gets up the offense refuses to have killer instinct
3. 3rd and long is usually not a good thing.

The Steelers, Patriots and Packers have the “opposite” of this style of offense.

this is a momentum team, if they can’t get up early they struggle. ray sucks in pass coverage and has killed us by being in the game and confusing everyone who was learning to play without him. reed is playing hurt again and is a none factor this year.

cam will never learn to get the run game going early. he ran the same run play twice in a row tonight and then he went to all pass. the two deep balls to start the game were the exact same pattern. he runs the same plays over and over again.

flacco is terrible. get rid of the shit head. this team needs a home crowd and a lead. anything less and they’re a bunch of babies. who didn’t know pitt wouldn’t win the division. they have toughness and a QB with 1/2 a brain.

they give up on d when they start to get beat, they are toooo good to battle back. rarely do we get a good O and D game at the same time and thats because the defense either stops trying when we have a lead (by all the last minute drives they give up) or they dont hold when our o cant get it going, its ray and eds MO.

I notice that

Whenever Flacco takes his eyes off downfield and looks to se if pressure is coming, he cannot refocus and folds like that lawn chair we talk about. To me, thats a lack of pocket presence, which has been and is a just criticism of him.

Here we go again with the debate. Top ten QB. Nope.

When Ben has that much time he almost always gets a big play with or without scrambling out of the pocket.

Brady, Brees, Stafford, Manning, Manning, Vick, Romo, Rivers, Rodgers, Schuab, Roethilsberger are much better.

And those 11 are off the top of my head. I’m sure you could debate that the following are also better: Kolb, Newton, Grossman, Hasslebeck, Smith, Ryan, Dalton, Kolb, Tebow, Cutler.

Not really sure it’s fair to say a Steelers loss is tantamount to “choking.” They’re playing a division champion on the road without three of their best players. That’s a tad different than, say, Tennessee’s season ending by losing to the 0-13 Indianapolis Colts.

Well, I'll rephrase that.

The passing plays were well called, but not well executed. I really think if Joe puts that 3rd down pass where it belongs (first drive, broken up by Weddle. If the ball is in the back of the end zone, it’s a TD), it’s an entirely different ball game. As it was, incomplete, missed field goal, momentum shift.

You come at the king, you best not miss.

by organizedchaos52 on Dec 18, 2011 11:57 PM EST up reply actions  

I see and agree with your point about the poor execution.

But in the first half, when the game was still within reach, we were absolutely horrible when passing the ball on first down. Not only that, but when we were unsuccessful (less than 3 yards gained) on first down, we almost always attempt to pass.

I just feel like if the running game is clicking, stick with it until they stop it. Also, let’s try running the ball on 2nd and long, then maybe we can use the play action more effectively. One more thing, if Rice breaks off a 20+ yard run, don’t have him carry the ball on the very next play… it never seems to end pretty.

by Mayne_Event on Dec 19, 2011 12:49 AM EST up reply actions  

2 quick things:

(1) PA is dead. We can thank the lines inability to block for that one.

(2) I’m extremely unsure about this Rice long run thing. I’m thinking there may be a bit of confirmation bias involved. Maybe an offseason project for me, depending on how early the season ends. I do, however, completely understand the idea of pulling a back after a long run, especially when we have a strong backup. I’m not sure that he is always stopped, though, and I wonder if Ray sometimes makes the choice to stay on the field himself.

Why do the Ravens struggle in virtually every road game?

by erniesto on Dec 18, 2011 11:18 PM EST up reply actions  

It's been asked

After all three other road losses and Harbs doesn’t answer it.

I don’t think he knows. Better remind him. Especially now that all the playoff games might be on the road.

ask cam why he stops running a methodical offense ounce he sniff the 30 and starts throwing up prayers with a QB that has passing 50%.

Ask him why he doesn't start Tyrod on the road

Hey Ravens fans,

I know how to cheer you up…..Browns in Baltimore next week.

not the point…we are second fiddles to pitt every year. poor coaching kills us.

by raven on Dec 18, 2011 11:23 PM EST reply actions  

This was not a coaching loss

Was all on the players for poor execution. Trust me, Cam did not call for all those dump offs to Rice and neither did he coach the defense into giving up all those plays.

cam put us behind and we suck when we get down. our d needs momentum or they fold up.

I hope it does but I doubt it

One of his sons will step in and it might possibly get worse, someone that young could be easily influenced by the wrong people.

Haha true.

They’d tell us that he died of a heart attack and then they’d tell the NK people that he died in a glorious battle with the Robo-Devil lol.

My suggestion to everyone (and probably what I will do):

rewatch the second Steeler game if you can.

you’d prefer that to the first one?

by FrankWyt on Dec 18, 2011 11:34 PM EST up reply actions  

Most definitely.

The first one was just a blowout that your team wasn’t ready for. In the second, we went to Heinz and stole a victory.

You're a rugby fan yes?

What’s your opinion of Aussie Rules? I’ve watched a few games on ESPN3 with some friends at college, and I’ve appreciated what I’ve understood.

I love Aussie Rules, unfortunately it is only big in Australia, not played in New Zealand at any decent level.

I don't think I would ever play it,

but it was pretty entertaining when I watched parts. It did get a little boring. I did enjoy it more than rugby.

Your team will lose in the Playoff sad but true but facts are fact and no matter how badly you whooped earlier this season you guys always blow it in the end just sayin

Look guys,

he already was trolling and banned, just let him be. In all likelihood he doesn’t even visit BTSC. I’m not sure they’d accept him if he tried.

you are exactly right. No…he doesn’t visit BTSC. and no…he would not last long there. Thank you for being a logical, reasonable, and intelligent person OC!… You are a gem.
