GAME THREAD - Panthers/Ravens

[Sephy]

Lets get back on track today!!!

:jester:
:jester: :jester: :jester:
:jester:

[Hrafn]

yes...I so hope I'm wrong in my post in the prediction thread. Let's kick some panther hiney.

[LBoogy]

Let's go fellas. I'll be without the game today :mad: so I'll be counting on you guys to fill me in!

[Sephy]

Opening kick goes out of bounds, goes to the 40.

[Sephy]

Ravens ball.
1st, swing to Jamal, gets 4 yards.
2nd and 6, another dump to Jamal, no gain. He doesn't look like he has any power anymore.
3rd and 6, McNair pressured, is forced to basically throw it up, incomplete.

[LBoogy]

3 and out! Passing on all 3 downs when starting at the 40? :mad:

[Hrafn]

meh start.

[Ravens0587]

I love it, I love 3 and outs

[Sephy]

Ravens get a personal foul for tackling from the back of the helmet. Didn't even know that was a foul.

[Ravens0587]

great, personal foul even better.

Why is AD stil playing gunner. are they that desperate to get better coverage. Will our D suffer b/c of it?

[Hrafn]

I like us throwing on first down. We have been doing that way too little so far. Way better than jamal up the middle for no gain.

[Hrafn]

They are thin on ST because both Mike Smith and Ivy is out.

[Ravens0587]

3rd and 6 wOrst 3rd down efficiency in nfl lets go d

[Ravens0587]

great they go 0-11, last week and the first chance they get they convert a 3rd down against us

[Sephy]

1st from the 29, Delhomme complete to Foster out of the backfield, gain of 3.
2nd and 7, give to Foster who is swallowed up, gain of maybe 1.
3rd and 5, pass caught by Steve Smith, who eludes a tackle and gets around 9 or so, first down.

[Ravens0587]

what the hell is wrong with our Defense, they are not gettin goff the field

[LBoogy]

2nd first down for Carolina.

[Sephy]

1st from the 43, deep for Keyshawn, couldn't keep both feet in on C-Mac.
2nd and 10, Foster takes the carry, cuts nicely up the middle for 4.
3rd and 6, Delhomme rolls right, hits Colbert immediately for about 7. First down.

[LBoogy]

Yeaaahhhh Rookie!!!!!

[Sephy]

1st from the Ravens 46, Foster runs directly into Gregg, gain of 5 or so.
2nd and 6, Foster spins out of a tackle in the backfield by Landry, spins out of the next one, but Landry is back and makes the tackle the second time.
3rd and 6, Delhomme drops back and back and back and throws it right to Landry. RAVENS PICK IT OFF AT THE 35!

[Hrafn]

Landry with the pick....loving it

[Beerracuda]

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! INT Landry!!!!

Let's go boyz!!

[Beerracuda]

So much for that consecutive INT-less streak, eh?? heheheh

[ExiledRaven]

I have to listen on field pass...anyone else having runtime errors on the Ravens feed? I have to listen to the Carolina broadcasters :(

[Ravens0587]

wow look at jamal busting off a huge gain (for him)

[Ravens0587]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!

[LBoogy]

Thanks, McNair.

[Sephy]

1st, Jamal for 4-5.
2nd and 5, Jamal stood up by 3 Panthers, whistle blows without him going down. Gain of 4.
3rd and 1, McNair overthrows Wilcox and it goes right to the safety. Plenty of time there, that one's all on Steve.

[ExiledRaven]

Int McNair...these all seem mental or just bad throwing. It's not like he doesn't have time....

[Hrafn]

F*ck McNair. He was wide open.

[Beerracuda]

Dammit!!! 3rd and 1, and we pass???

Man, these playcalls..... I'm at a loss for words.

[darb72]

Ok, first post of the day.

Way to go Landry. Man we can pick those defensive players.

[ExiledRaven]

he was open, McNair is just continuing to play poorly

[Merlin]

If we don't have the balls to go third and short with Mike Anderson over the middle then we don't deserve to win.

Third and short has been an ongoing problem with this team.

Just get the F**KING first down!

[darb72]

Beer, that was actually a good play call. McNair had time and a wide open receiver.

The system strikes again.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Way to go Steve.

Getting really tired of these lame INT's...half the time defenders aren't making great plays...McNair is just throwing bad passes.

[Merlin]

Watch the Panthers for lessons on unpredictability -- they are sequencing the plays like our offense should be doing

[Sephy]

1st from the 38, PA, caught by Keyshawn on the sidelines for a gain of 7. I don't think it was a catch.
2nd and 3, Foster swallowed up by Ray for no gain, maybe 1.
3rd and 2, Delhomme deep for Smith complete, Rolle can't even see the ball, and he even committed illegal contact in the process. 32 yard gain.

[Hrafn]

How is Steve Smith not bracketed at all times?

[Ravens0587]

This is going ot get ugly quick

[ExiledRaven]

yup, this is looking ugly fast.

[Sephy]

1st from the 22, quick hit to Keyshawn, gain of about 3. Abusing the cushion of C-Mac.
2nd and 6, Delhomme fakes the same play, fools everyone, goes deep for Smith, and is LAID OUT BY REED, but he catches it at the 3-4. Very impressive coaching and playcall from Carolina, wish we could see stuff like that.

[Hrafn]

Need to not break here.

[LBoogy]

McNair HAS to execute. This shit is getting to be inexcusible. 7 interceptions in 5.2 games?

[Hrafn]

Agreed....if he stinks this one up as well...I say time for Boller.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Steve Smith is kicking our ass

[ExiledRaven]

McNair HAS to execute. This shit is getting to be inexcusible. 7 interceptions in 5.2 games?

calling all huggers? :taz:

[Ravens0587]

I love the "pocket presence" and "confidence" that mcnair brings, but this offense is worse then it has ever been.....

why not boller again?

look at my sig line

[ExiledRaven]

how sad is it that we even contemplate boller?

Watch them score on an out or slant

[Ravens0587]

why would you take steve smith out? so he is short, so are clayton and mason but we take them out to.

[LBoogy]

calling all huggers?

Nope, I just want our fucking team to execute on offense. McNair has been throwing some awful passes for the last 3 weeks. He's playing worse than Boller at this point.

[Ravens0587]

Our Defense bails us out agian

[ExiledRaven]

Nope, I just want our fucking team to execute on offense. McNair has been throwing some awful passes for the last 3 weeks. He's playing worse than Boller at this point.

Oh I totally agree.

At first, McNair could hit those short intermediates but not the deep. Deep is about all boller could do. Now McNair throws 5-10 yard picks

[Sephy]

1st and goal from the 3, Foster for 1.
2nd and goal from the 2, give to Foster off RT, no gain. Scott nailed him. AD took out Hoover and helped on the tackle.
3rd and goal from the 2, Foster again off RT, and he LOSES YARDS! STOPPED AT THE 5!

NOW DO SOMETHING OFFENSE!

Kasay for 3, 3-0 Panthers.

[Hrafn]

Good....D only bending. Now time for McNair to execute.

[Beerracuda]

3-0 Panthers, but a victory for the Ravens D on that goal line stand!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Hell of a stand by the defense

[LBoogy]

how sad is it that we even contemplate boller?

It's extremely sad. It's sad that Steve McNair can't throw one nice fucking pass. It's sad that we actually have to resort to thinking about KB.

PLEASE offense. PLEASE. DO SOMETHING. WE have Pro-Bowlers all over the place and we can't get a first down.

Nice goal-line stand by the defense, though.

[Ravens0587]

funny but unless our defense puts us in FG range, I doubt we score.

[ExiledRaven]

great job by the defense, certainly.

Now if the offense can at least put a drive together, I'll be less pissed.

[LBoogy]

Who woulda thought that our O-line would be playing well, but we can't run with Jamal or throw with Steve McNair?

[Sephy]

Sams returns to the ~27.

[Art-Florida]

Warning:Heresy follows...

Give Steve a break, bring in Kyle - at least for a few series. If nothing else, it will confuse the Panthers def. coordinator.

[Sephy]

Jamal hasn't ran poorly yet. Though I do feel there are some holes that can be exploited.

[Ravens0587]

wernt most of kyles interceptions at least long?

[Beerracuda]

Darb,

I normally wouldn't have had a problem with a pass on 3rd and 1, but considering how inaccurate McNair's been lately, I would've run Anderson on that play. And if we had to pass, I would've called a screen...... oops, I forgot, Billick doesnt know what a screen pass is.

[sailorsam]

MY STINKING LOCAL FOX AFFILIATE IS SHOWING THE EAGLES GAME
BOOOOO!!!! Lord I wish I could get cable.
this goes with the stinking local paper that has 'Skins articles every day.
I hate the media...

[LBoogy]

Another pass playon first down?!?!??!

Establish the FUCKING run.

[Ravens0587]

SACK, WTF Rucker FUck I think im about to cry

[Sephy]

1st, play action, Jenkins and Rucker were just too deep and McNair is sacked. OMG that was Flynn getting absolutely toasted.

[Hrafn]

wow....Flynn getting blown up...now that's refreshingly new

[Ravens0587]

We have an imnjur mcnair I HOPE HE IS OK but heres our fchance

[LBoogy]

McNair HURT!?

[darb72]

Now McNair is hurting.

If I were Boller I'd laugh in Billicks face and sit back down on the bench

[Ravens0587]

RUDI RUDI RUDI!!!!

p.s. hope mcnair is ok

[Sephy]

McNair is hurt. Boller warming up.

Here we go.

[Hrafn]

McNair hurt? Concussion prolly.

[ExiledRaven]

LBoogy....well, I guess we're gonna see what Boller can do. Problem, they're going to run jailbreak on him.

Screen to Lewis or Smith?

[LBoogy]

Lets go Kyle. We're behind you.

[Sephy]

McNair looking concussed.
2nd and 19, KB getting some nice cheers as he comes out.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Well...Boller here we go, McNair is likely out with a concussion.

[Ravens0587]

wow im listening to the ravens broadcast on the radio b/c fox is gay. but they cheered him louder then when they cheered mcnair when he went off the feild

[Ravens0587]

1-1 lets go boller.........lets go boller..........

[ExiledRaven]

HAHAHHA, i knew it'd be a swing or screen

[Hrafn]

Wow....Boller getting cheered. Guess people have come to realize it's the damn offensive line.

[Ravens0587]

that one is not bollers fault. Julius peppers need to get a 24 hour flu or something

[Sephy]

2nd and 19, swing to Jamal (the Kyle Boller specialty ;)), gain of 5.
3rd and 14, Boller just takes off and goes down at the 30. Pashos has good initial stop, Boller looked like he may have had a guy open.

Gamble falls down after the punt.

[LBoogy]

Yeah, Exiled. Hopefully he can light a fire under this offense.

I don't give a shit who is back there. I just want someone to make a pass that's longer than 10 yards.

Although, I'm more confident in Boller to make stronger and more accurate throws. McNair looks like a shell of his old self, sad to say.

[Ravens0587]

see there is our D putting is in FG range

[ExiledRaven]

Yeah, Exiled. Hopefully he can light a fire under this offense.

I don't give a shit who is back there. I just want someone to make a pass that's longer than 10 yards.

Preach on! :kewl:

[LBoogy]

Let's Fucking Go Offense!!!!!!!!!!

[Sephy]

1st from the 27, Foster FUMBLES, and it is recovered by RAY LEWIS!!!!!

[Beerracuda]

Woooohooooooo!!! Wtg RAY RAY!!!!!!

[ExiledRaven]

C'mon....Boller TD pass....I would LOVE that

[Hrafn]

Great now let's see what Boller can do :)

[LBoogy]

Thank God for our defense and Ray Lewis.

It would make my week if KB throws a TD right here.

[Ravens0587]

wow thats amazing, look at this D playing inspired by the new Qb.

Kyle I love you man but if you fuck this up I will personally go up there and choke you myself.

hey kyle dont pull a mcnair

[LBoogy]

Sprained neck and possible concussion on McNair.

[Ravens0587]

damn it mike flynn

[ExiledRaven]

I hate flynn

[Sephy]

What a punch from Gregg!
1st from the 27, quick pass to Clayton, broken up by Gamble.
2nd, Boller fumbles the snap, and is down at the 32. He never even got the ball.
Hooboy.

[Hrafn]

Goodness me...this is sad.

[Beerracuda]

And this is exactly why I've been screaming for Flynn's fucking head for over 6 years now! HE SUCKS!!!!

[ExiledRaven]

Honestly, we need to get some slants and screens going with boller get him loose, then take a shot or two with heap, mason, or williams.

[Ravens0587]

Now i am on the verge of crying if boller somehow pulls this off and gets a first down.


be honest how many of you will shed a tear of joy if Boller throws a td, or even a pass longer then 10 yards ahem

[darb72]

At least McNair taught Boller how to fall on those darned things.

[Sephy]

First quarter is done. 3-0 Panthers.

This could get ugly kind of quickly.

[Ravens0587]

we need to sign a backup qb this could be serious

[Sephy]

3rd and 15, draw to Musa who fumbles. Panthers recover, and there goes ANY points.

Fan fucking tastic.

[Ravens0587]

I have been pimping Musa and Boller since preseason. It's not looking good for my boyz

[LBoogy]

You know, these announcers fucking suck.

They are Baltimore guys and they rag on Boller as soon as he comes in.

I have little emotional ties to Boller, but lets be fair here. McNair has thrown 7, yes 7 interceptions.

Now we run on 3rd and 15 and fumble. Can we execute? Can we call a decent play?

[darb72]

Oh goody, now the RBs are fumbling.

[Beerracuda]

Oh good lord, Musa with a fumble.

Dammit!!!

[ExiledRaven]

ugly game.

[Sephy]

1st from the 27, Foster for 2.
2nd and 7, Delhomme pressured, throws it off of Foster's back shoulder, incomplete.
3rd, Delhomme SACKED BY AD!!!

[Beerracuda]

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOO !!! AD baby!!!! SACK YER ASS!!!

[darb72]

Care to explain how nobody picks up AD?

[Sephy]

Sams takes it on a hop, down at the 39. Flag.
Hold on the Ravens.

Don't know how there can be a hold on the return, the return lasted like, 1 second.

[Ravens0587]

wow taking a shot deep, def. should have laid out for it. Mark claytons fault.

Mcanir def. doesnt have the arm

[Hrafn]

So close. Good protection though.

[darb72]

Right through Claytons hands. Dang it

[Sephy]

1st, playfake, Clayton is WIDE OPEN and Boller just throws it to far. Story of his career, really.
2nd and 10, another PA, Boller rolls right, and hits Clayton right on the money for 14. Excellent.

[LBoogy]

Mark Clayton should have had that ball according to Rob Burnett.

Nice throw.

[Ravens0587]

First Down. Move Those Chains

[Hrafn]

Wow...a first down....yay!!!!!

[Sephy]

1st, Jamal makes a stutter move, goes left and gets 6. Forced out at the end.
2nd and 4, Boller complete to Wilcox for 8 and a first.

BOLLERMANIA!

[LBoogy]

Another first down, Boller. Fuck yeah. This is what we fucking need.

[Ravens0587]

Jamal runs better with Kyle under center, I wonder if it's b/c we at least tried to stretch the D. Another first down dan wilcox move those chains, look at this boy

[LBoogy]

Exiled, where are you ?! lol

[LBoogy]

Incomplete to Mark Clayton. Shit.

[Beerracuda]

Wow! I'm not used to this kind of playcalling!!!

[Hrafn]

Why was Clayton slowing up?

[darb72]

First down HEAP!!!!!!!

[Sephy]

1st from the Panthers 46, blitz in, goes for Mason over the middle immediately, and throw behind him, incomplete.
2nd, PA rollout again, deep for Clayton in between two guys in the endzone, incomplete. There was contact, but they were all playing the ball. Good throw, but kind of foolish.
3rd, complete to Heap who BULLS TO THE MARKER. Will take a measurement. Tough throw from Boller, tons of pressure.
One inch short. GO FOR IT.

[Hrafn]

4th and half an inch...let's pop the in the mouth

[Sephy]

Ravens going for it. QB sneak here please.
4th and an inch, QB sneak it is, first down Ravens!!

[Beerracuda]

Boller with the QB sneak, FIRST DOWN!!!

[Beerracuda]

Throw it away, good decision Kyle!!

[Sephy]

Jason Brown shows his aggression and frees Boller for the first.

1st from the 35, PA again, nice pickup from Jamal, but no one open downfield, Boller throws it away.
2nd, draw to Jamal for 1.
3rd and 7, complete to Wilcox for 9! First down!!

[Hrafn]

Wow...drills it. Boller looking good

[LBoogy]

JB and KB are the real FUCKING deal.

[darb72]

Uhmmm... did someone remind Jamal that he can actually run the ball?

[Beerracuda]

oh holy shit!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Hrafn]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sephy]

1st from the 23, Jamal for 9! Minter JUST had him, he really wanted to break that one. Heap had a GREAT seal.
2nd and 1, Boller goes for Mason in the endzone, Gamble bats it up in the air, and Clayton FLIES IN AND CATCHES IT, TD RAVENS!!!!!!!!!

[darb72]

TD BOLLER. Thanks to Clayton, but still a TD!!!

[Maryland Ben]

Any Boller haters still in the house?

[Sephy]

7-3 good guys. Holy crap. This game has been so weird.

[Beerracuda]

Ladies and gentlemen, could we have a QB controversy brewing here in Charm City?

[Hrafn]

Lucky but still 6 points

[Raveninwoodlawn]

WTG Kyle.

good job...keep it up for the rest of the game!

[Sephy]

Sapp and co wrap up Marshall at the 23.

[RavenTD]

Just popping in during the ads to say,I like how this offense opened up once Kyle came in.
Nice fight for the ball Clayton on the rebound.

7-3 Ravens,hell yeah.

[Hrafn]

Guess he stared down Mason, Clayton was a better option, but I'm fine with it...he got it to him in the end.

[Beerracuda]

Well, it's certain that Kyle is fighting for his NFL life, and at least the coaching staff is giving him the opportunity to make or break.

Very refreshing to see!!

[Art-Florida]

Quarterback controversy? Definitely. I hope Steve is ok. Kick ass Kyle!

[Sephy]

1st, pass complete to Hoover for 8-9.
2nd and 1, Foster wrapped up for what looked like no gain by Suggs, but they give him a very fortunate spot for a first.

[Sephy]

1st from the 33, PA and quick hit to Mangum, and C-Mac spins him in the air. Gain of 1 or 2. Or 3, apparently.
2nd and 7, PA, deep over the middle for Smith, incomplete. Smith dropped it with AD coming in.

Crowd forces a TO. Nice.

[Beerracuda]

Quarterback controversy? Definitely. I hope Steve is ok. Kick ass Kyle!


Art, a QB controversy can only be a good thing here in B-more. We haven't had that for quite some time. Let's hope Kyle keeps it up!

[ExiledRaven]

great start, let's put up 30 KB. Make it it a tough decision.

[LBoogy]

Hey, if Kyle is lights-out in this game, he should be our starter, period.

If KB plays like we know he can, he's going to be our future people!

[Sephy]

3rd and 7, Delhomme has plenty of time, and hits a crossing Keyshawn for 8-9 and a first.

[RavenTD]

It was finally nice to see the huge effort by the defense,finally be rewarded by the offense.

I'm a McNair pimp,but you put in whoever is hot,and helping this team win.

Keep it up Kyle.This is your stage to shine son.:thumbup:

[Sephy]

1st, from the 44, Foster goes off tackle left for a nice gain of 8-9.
2nd and 1, Foster breaks a tackle in the backfield and gets 4 or 5.

[LBoogy]

Samari come on man.

[Sephy]

1st from the Ravens 42, PA, deep for Drew Carter who just smokes Rolle for the TD.

Rolle sucks, seriously. He gets beat constantly.

[ExiledRaven]

Rolle is getting beat deep waaay too much

[Beerracuda]

ACK!!! Rolle just turned into Gary Baxter on that play,..... shit!

[Ravens0587]

3rd Td this year, why can't our D get off the damn field

[Beerracuda]

Nice runback by BJ Sams!!!

[Sephy]

Sams spins out of a tackle and reverses his field to get to the 36. Very nice from Drunkie.

[RavenTD]

Delhomme places that ball well.

Back and forth baby.This is going to be one heck of a game now.

[Ravens0587]

nice play by the drunk

[Ravens0587]

wow what is this, screen and throwing the ball away, wow this is all new to me

[Ravens0587]

at least heap dives for it

[Ravens0587]

kyle overthrew it, but peppers was closing down on him

[Hrafn]

Damn....from his back foot....

[Sephy]

1st, PA, looking for the screen, throws it into the ground by Musa.
2nd, pitch to Jamal (when has this ever worked, BTW) for a gain of 3-4.
3rd and 6, deep for Heap, ball thrown just too far. Damnit! I've seen too many of those in Boller's career to blame the receivers for them.

[RavenTD]

The deep ball is there,Kyle just needs to take some mustard off the throw.

[Sephy]

1st from the 22 for Carolina, caught by Keyshawn for 9.
2nd and 1, Foster gets all the way to almost the 45, gain of 10.

[Sephy]

1st from the 43, Foster for 1-2.
2 minute warning. 1:57 left.

[Ravens0587]

The deep ball is there,Kyle just needs to take some mustard off the throw.

I'll take it. Kyle overthrowing has less of a chance of the ball being picked then Mcnair noodle arming it

[RavenTD]

If we start connecting on these deep balls,then its a whole different ball game.

[ExiledRaven]

exactly. problem now is that our D is getting exposed.

[Ravens0587]

how the hell is kyle doing his job and the defense not

[Sephy]

2nd and 8, deep incomplete for Carter. 2 guys on him.
3rd, 1:50 left, 4 WR, incomplete for Keyshawn, but a really late flag comes in. UGH. PI.
1st, complete to Foster for 8.
2nd and 2, 1:18 left, complete to Goings underneath, who runs for 23, brough down at the 19.
1st, 51s left, false start.

[LBoogy]

Definitely. KB hitting those receivers would be huge.

Let's go defense.

[darb72]

Ok, these officials are idiots.

[Ravens0587]

i wouldn't expect anything less from a guy hanging on mcnairs jock in his sig

[Sephy]

1st and 15, 10 second runoff avoided by TO by Carolina. Now apparently they'll take the runoff.
1st, 41s left, crazy flip to Goings, to the 13.
2nd and 6, ball thrown away.

7 seconds left, Kasay comes on.

13-7 Panthers. 4 seconds left.

[Sephy]

Sams returns, clock runs out.

Halftime. Make some adjustments, win this game.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Carolina is pretty much dominating in every stat.

223 yards to 93

18+ minutes to 11+ in TOP

Averaging 6 yards per play to our 3.5

We are lucky to only be down 6

And Kyle needs to step it up. You need consistancy to be a legit starting NFL QB. One drive isn't enough.

[RavenTD]

You cannot close your eyes to how the offense woke up once Kyle got in there.Like I said I don't care who the QB is,as long as he is the best guy to help get this team a win.

[LBoogy]

Easy to say but Boller has shown the inherent ability to hit the Pacific ocean when he was aiming for the Atlantic. His accuracy is deplorable for an NFL QB backup or not.

Go troll somewhere else oldman.

You have shown that you'd rather see McNair play like shit than Boller come in and win the game.

[Hrafn]

Where is that ignore button?

[Art-Florida]

The sun rises, taxes go up, women hate how their hair looks...and haters hate.

[Beerracuda]

It will be interesting to see the offensive playcalling in the 2nd half, and how Kyle responds. But what we really need to do is put much more pressure on DelHomme. With the exception of 1 or 2 plays, we haven't really got much penetration into the backfield.

Hopefully, that will be corrected with the halftime adjustments.

[darb72]

I think we keep throwing deep. They have been there, we just need to keep Boller calm and we'll hit some of them.

Now if the defense can get some rest and stop the Panthers I like our chances.

[Beerracuda]

Agreed, Darb. We've been SOOOO close on a few plays downfield, it seems that Boller just needs to shake off a bit of rust. After all, those overthrown passes were not THAT overthrown... just off the fingertips most of the time.

[darb72]

Hrafn;

User CP button which is right above the reply button at the top of your screen.

At the bottom of the User Control Panel is a buddy/ignore list.

Add whoever you want to ignore and hit save list.

[Hrafn]

If we can protect Boller a little bit better, he will hit those deep throws. he was throwing off his back foot and missing by step.

[RavenTD]

Finally an attacking offense,that is what we have all been crying for.
Whether it hits or not,it still puts those defenders on their heels.

We are not getting enough push up the middle,our guys are being rolled to the outside on defense.

Did you see how quick Foster gets to the outside compared to Jamal.

I have more optimism we can win this game,than I did before kickoff.:thumbup:

[Hrafn]

I found it....you can prolly guess who I wanted to ignore, but might be surpised he wasn't on my list already ;)

[Sephy]

Marshall stopped at the 29.

[Sephy]

1st, Foster split wide, pass batted down by Suggs. Actually looked like Ngata got his hand in.
2nd, quick out to Smith, gain of 3 if he's lucky.
3rd and 8, Delhomme gets a ridiculous amount of time, and finally Keyshawn gets open for the first.

[darb72]

Ok defense, stop them

[Sephy]

1st from the 49, Foster for 2-3.
2nd and 7, Suggs and Landry smack Foster before he can even get the ball barely. No gain.
3rd and 7, Delhomme smacked as he throws, ball pops in the air, PICKED BY C-MAC!!!!

[Beerracuda]

INT CMac!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Needed that!!!!

[Hrafn]

Finally pressure, and it pays off....

[LBoogy]

Cmac Baby!

[darb72]

YES CMAC. Great job defense.

Now offense let's remember what we've worked on. Don't do anything stupid.

[LBoogy]

Let's go Kyle! We're behind you!

[RavenTD]

Pressure = turnover for our ballhawking defense.

Landry is really a find isn't he.woohooo.Come on Kyle.

[Sephy]

1st from the 35, PA, swing to Green, gain of 12. First down! Green can run well.

[darb72]

Green was a tail-back in college. He had a pretty good career if I remember correctly.

[Sephy]

1st from the 45, Jamal runs right into a non-hole, gain of 1. Need some better vision in there.
2nd and 9, complete to Clayton for 6.
3rd and 3, complete to Heap who can get some YAC, nice throw, nice run, down to the 35!

[darb72]

Now that was a really, really stupid play.

[Hrafn]

damn!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

WTF Kyle...did you just try to throw it across your body?

[Sephy]

1st, Boller looks deep, tucks and runs, gets 5.
2nd and 5, give off LT for Jamal, loss of 6. Too much penetration, but the outside play never works with Jamal, and it certainly won't now.
3rd and 11, Boller eludes pressure and throws it right to Marshall. DAMNIT. He was blanketed. Absolute worst possible throw there.

[darb72]

I thought we discussed not doing anything stupid guys.

Dang it Kyle.

[LBoogy]

Shit kyle. You got to do better than that.

[darb72]

In that situation he has to know just to tuck it and run. Get what you can and we're back in field goal range.

[RavenTD]

How the hell did Kyle not see that defender?

[Beerracuda]

I thought we discussed not doing anything stupid guys.




Apparently, Kyle didn't get that memo. That was just a stupid play on his part.

C'mon Kyle, stop that stupid shit.

[darb72]

Ok defense, let's get another turn-over.

[Beerracuda]

Wow!!! Me-Shawn was way too open for my liking on that play... luckily overthrown.

[Sephy]

1st from the 47, Delhomme's pass dropped by Colbert. Flag down. Illegal contact on C-Mac. Honestly still, the worst flag in football. First down my fucking ass.
1st, Foster for no gain, maybe 1.
2nd and 9, deep for Keyshawn who had beaten Oglesby, but thrown too far.
3rd, Foster loses 1! Henning goes crazy conservative there.

[darb72]

Come on BJ. We need a long one here.

You know, some comments on a football message board would sound really dirty to an outsider.

[Sephy]

Sams fair caught at the 14.

[RavenTD]

AD is playing lights out as always.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Tex, I'm far from a Boller fan, but you have got to bring more to this thread than Boller sucks, Boller sucks, Boller sucks.

[Beerracuda]

Someone please delete that asshole Tex. What a piece of shit.

[LBoogy]

Oldfan, get the fuck out of here.

Steve was playing like shit. He played like shit last week, too.

Kyle got us a touchdown. How about you root for this team to win instead of this constant criticism. You are one delusional troll.

[Art-Florida]

I certainly don't hate Boller, I just hate the way he plays quarterback, just like most of his Raven predecessors. This game is a loss. I just hope McNair can play next week.

I named no names, I rarely do, but interesting that you thought it was directed at you. I don't like 2nd person posts, but since you felt the need to respond... Hate Boller, of course you do, OldTex. You NEVER pass up a chance to take a shot at him. That's all I have to say on the matter.

[darb72]

Just use the ignore feature guys. We don't want this forum to degrade into what the Crayon forum has become.

[Sephy]

1st, Jamal gets a big hole and explodes for 17. We need more of that! Heap gets another great seal.
1st from the 31, PA, Boller runs right, has to throw it away. Peppers was al over him.
2nd, Panthers jump, run never got started. Offsides.
2nd and 5, MA off left tackle for a few.
3rd and 1, Anderson for 2-3 and a first.

[Beerracuda]

Wooohooo!!! WTG Mike Anderson!!!

1st down baby!!

[Sephy]

1st from the 41, PA, Boller rolls right, complete to Heap who bulls forward for 8-9.
Heap's nose is bleeding.
2nd and 1, MA for 2-3 and a first.

[RavenTD]

My first Ignore poster.Sad.

Lets keep it moving offense.

[Beerracuda]

And another 1st down for MA, after the Heap catch!!!

Keep it going boys!!

[darb72]

They get easier RavenTD. I have 11.

[RavenTD]

Getting some push on the run blocking.

[Art-Florida]

Ignore feature? Good point, Darb. First ever ignore, coming up.

[darb72]

Offsides Carolina. Let's see the spot of the ball.

[darb72]

Terrible blocking. Come on O-line you have to do better than that.

[Sephy]

1st from the Panthers 46, complete to Wilcox for 2 or so.
2nd and 7, hard count makes the Panthers jump, Anderson gets 6. They'll take the penalty.
2nd and 2, MA gets absolutely SLAMMED by Draft in the backfield. No chance at all.
3rd and 4, Boller looks deep, then immediately sees a lane and Boller runs left for 10. Excellent decision.

[RavenTD]

Man what a hit by Draft.Ouch.

[darb72]

Here's a brilliant idea. Let's run the ball on first down to start every series of downs. The defense will never know what hit them.

[Sephy]

1st from the 30, Ogden getting pushed deep, MA loses 3 or so yards.
2nd and 12, PA, Boller makes a really poor pass for a covered Heap, way underthrown.
3rd and long, 1 second left in the third, dump to Musa who can't make the first guy miss and loses 1 or 2.

End of the third.
