Game Thread - Playoffs-Round Two

[ladyraven127]

I'm guessing Seph isn't around, so I'm starting this thread for us. God speed. :word

[HoustonRaven]

Umm ... someone ought to tell Ray Rice to go easy on the eye black.

[RavenScallywag]

I think all 4 pre-game analysts picked against us. Shocking, I know.

Everyone seems to think we're going to be terrible throwing the ball, and the Colts will be able to just freeze out our running game.

I hope we play just as pissed off as last week!

[RavenScallywag]

Umm ... someone ought to tell Ray Rice to go easy on the eye black.

hahaha Yeah, I don't know what that was about. It doesn't make him look scary or anything, just makes him look like he's trying out for Kiss.

....and now they're showing him and it's gone...weird

[HoustonRaven]

Looks like it was Suggs, not RR.

And Ray Ray is doing something funky with his too.

Whatever it is, hope it work.

Damnit, it's going to kill me to leave at halftime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RavenScallywag]

Indy wins and will receive...Touchback

Ray's always done that funky thing.

[Stumpy]

That was a hell of a hit by Ray

[RavenScallywag]

a littls dissapointing so far, though partially that's because we KILLED early last week.

Need to watch out for those across the middle passes.

[Stumpy]

That was a horrible open field tackle by JJ

[HoustonRaven]

Their game plan is obvious .... attack our corners.

Cowher said in the pre-game the Ravens need to be patient on D. Not too concerned just yet.

[RavenScallywag]

What's bad is they are starting to get pretty good yards on their runs against us.

We need to get back on our feet and start some stoppage.

NICE almost pick by Ray there.

[Stumpy]

Dallas Clark got slammed

[RavenScallywag]

Stover gets the FG, 3-0 to start

[Stumpy]

Stover gets the FG, 3-0 to start

Hate seeing him in the white and blue

[RavenScallywag]

Their game plan is obvious .... attack our corners.

Cowher said in the pre-game the Ravens need to be patient on D. Not too concerned just yet.

you are right...I am impatient...they had runs of 7, 3, and -1...that's not really to bad.

[darb72]

Why are you leaving at halftime, Houston?

And good job by our defense to hold them to three. Let's get seven here and enjoy a good thrashing of the Colts.

[HoustonRaven]

Bend but dont break and we got a lucky break on that 3rd down.

Come on Joe!

[Stumpy]

Why are you leaving at halftime, Houston?

And good job by our defense to hold them to three. Let's get seven here and enjoy a good thrashing of the Colts.

:iagree:

[Stumpy]

Awesome return Pamale... of course a flag

[RavenScallywag]

Nice return by Parmele, but block in the back...GAH...

Enforced at 14, half distance to goal....we're starting from the 7!

93 yard TD run???

[Stumpy]

Awesome return Pamale... of course a flag

I didn't see anything by the play though!!!

[HoustonRaven]

Why are you leaving at halftime, Houston?

Work reared it's ugly head and I have to put out a fire. Enjoying the first half in my hotel room in Wichita.

[darb72]

We had a positive play. Of course they were gonna throw the flag. Can't have two good weeks of reffing in a row. That would mean that the NFL doesn't hate us.:laugh:

[RavenScallywag]

1st pass...1st completion!

1st down

[Stumpy]

I like the end around call... keeping them honest

[RavenScallywag]

End around to Clayton? Haven't seen that in awhile...Cam, what are you up to tonight? I like the diverse playcall.

Then McClain straight ahead for 1st down

[RavenScallywag]

Oh yeah, we're going to have TONS of problems throwing tonight...:261695:

Although that screen to Rice was eaten up well by Brackett

[HoustonRaven]

Here comes the blitz

[Stumpy]

Hey hey... the actually threw a flag against the colts

[RavenScallywag]

Neutral Zone Infraction...Joe should've taken a shot downfield

Does on next play COMPLETED!

[Stumpy]

Mason looks like the man tonight...

[darb72]

Wow, what an amazing catch by Mason. That was a good throw and better catch.

[RavenScallywag]

The Colts D are really stacking up on the run...Luckily our passing seems to be working so we should start opening up the run soon

[Stumpy]

Please lets make this 7...

[RavenScallywag]

Joe Flacco keeps it for 1st down...

so maybe that hip isn't as bad as we thought!

[HoustonRaven]

Is it me or is there zero crowd noise right now?!?!?!

[darb72]

A two yard QB sneak? Effective if your QB is 6'5, 230+ pounds.

[Stumpy]

Joe Flacco keeps it for 1st down...

so maybe that hip isn't as bad as we thought!

Cortizone shots do wonders

[Stumpy]

That should have been 6 pts... LeRon

[RavenScallywag]

DAMN IT, MCCLAIN!

WIDE OPEN, you HAVE to make that catch

and then Joe makes BAD throw, almost picked in stride.

[darb72]

Damn it. We have to settle for the FG but considering that the alternative is a huge play by their defense, I'll take it.

We're tied at 3.

[Flipping Birdie]

what the fuck was up with that snap?

[HoustonRaven]

Very encouraging, minus the almost disastrous Flacco gaffe.

[RavenScallywag]

Katula...damn it, stop with the crappy snaps!

At least Cundiff seems to have figured out how to take them out of the equation.

3-3 tie

[Stumpy]

Sam Koch deserves a medal for taking these shitty snaps.

[StingerNLG]

Grrrrr! I am way late to the game. We had a special service with the Synagogue tonight and now I am rushing home!!! You guys are my eyes and ears until I get home!!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Another stupid penalty on a KO return, another inability to punch it in from the red zone, another terrible snap on a FG. Well, at least we had an 85 yd drive in the middle of those f-ups.

[RavenScallywag]

Colts moved it ok against our D...looks like they are attacking out corners and daring us to either take the short easy passes or try to play shut down on them

We're throwing well sans the last play, looks like we need to get their 8th man out of the boxon running. On one hand, we're a McClain catch away from a TD, but we're also a Bethea catch away from a BAD INT return, possibly long return for TD.

We just made a NICE stop on return, around the 15.

[Stumpy]

Real nice coverage on the kick off

[darb72]

Grrrrr! I am way late to the game. We had a special service with the Synagogue tonight and now I am rushing home!!! You guys are my eyes and ears until I get home!!

Colts drove down to our red-zone but came up three yards short.

Refs hosed us on a block in the back call to put us at the seven after the kick-off, negating a 54 yard return.

We marched it down to their six or so where Flacco nearly threw a pick six. Thankfully we got a FG out of it.

They have the ball at their 10 after great coverage by our special teams.

[NC Raven]

Damn Katula..... is the guy lying about his health to keep his job? He's gonna frickin kill us if Koch does n't real in that mess for him.

Nice drive though. I guess all those morons who think we always throw for 34 yards every game are scracthing their heads.

[Stumpy]

Their O line is doing some SERIOUS holding... worse than usual

[RavenScallywag]

I like this patience approach...Manning is making small mistakes here and there. Just play him safe and force THEM to keep getting FGs.

[Stumpy]

We have got to get some kind of pressure on Peyton...

[RavenScallywag]

Carr doing a great job of timing his hits!

[Stumpy]

That was 2 almost ints this drive.... Stop them

[RavenScallywag]

There was the pressure! And just like that, 3rd down stop and a punt!

[Stumpy]

Nice stop... now a nice return

[darb72]

Colts get the ball out to the 50 but come up five yards short and have to punt.

Sting, we had two really close INTs on this drive so our secondary is playing pretty well. Carr in particular had a solid play on a route by one of the Colt's receivers.

[Stumpy]

Why did he fair catch that... no one around for like 10 yards.

[Stumpy]

As shallow as we are a corners, I would say let Parmale do a the returns

[RavenScallywag]

Why did he fair catch that... no one around for like 10 yards.

That's what I was thinking...must've thought the ball was coming down weird or something? Maybe he's just too afraid of another lost punt like last week

[Sirdowski]

It's a sad state of affairs that one of the deciding factors for us is the long snapping wild man Katula. Tendinitis or not if he can't do is job how hard could it be to find someone who can.

[RavenScallywag]

hey, wtf? Rice has the weird eye black again!

[darb72]

After the punt is fielded at the nine, we gain seven yards and are forced to punt after going three and out.

Come on defense, do it again.

[UKRavenGordon]

Not the drive we needed there, giving Peyton a short field here.

[Stumpy]

hey, wtf? Rice has the weird eye black again!

War paint... I think at half time i'm doing it too... all the cool guys are doing it!

[RavenScallywag]

Dissapointing 3 and out...Joe just throws it out of bounds quickly on 3rd and 2...No attempt at a scramble or anything?

And now Colts have ball PAST midfield. Needed to take advantage of our stop there, but we didn't.

[Flipping Birdie]

Looks like about half the Ravens are wearing the weird grease paint

[Stumpy]

The O line got totally pushed back on that 3rd down...

[RavenScallywag]

Nice stop by JJ on that run...gain of 1..

No huddle, hurry up...TIPPED but caught by Colts for gain of 2 or 3.

[Stumpy]

Sizzle getting pressure... Stop them

[UKRavenGordon]

Awesome drive D!

[Stumpy]

Thank you 3 and out...

[darb72]

Three and out by the Colts, more good play in the secondary. Nearly had another pick on a pass that was batted way into the air.

Punt rolls into the endzone so we get it at the twenty. Our best field posistion of the night.

Come on offense, get some points.

[Flipping Birdie]

all i can say is this is about 100% better than that crappy Saints/Cards game.

[Stumpy]

Honestly... I like the way they look so far. We need to get Ray running a little more down hill, but I like it so far.

[RavenScallywag]

Hope our running game can start hitting it's stride. If it does, I think we can definitley win this one with our D being patient and finding the little mistakes to stop Manning.

[RavenScallywag]

Their DL is eating our line apart...they finally sack Flacco. We're going to need to do better of giving Joe some time to throw!

[UKRavenGordon]

I'd rather the sack than a bad throw through pressure.

And the flag.....


Goes against them - Good stuff!

[RavenScallywag]

Multiple fouls by return team...oh I love it when it's not us :)

We accept Illegal block in the back, should put them back on their side of the field.

[darb72]

Dang it. Flacco gets sacked on third and five. Rush up the middle and he just stands there.

We need something from our offense.

Koch gets a great punt off but a decent return and the Colts get called for block in the back. The Colts start somewhere around their twenty.

As usual for Raven's fans, the cheer "LET'S GO D!!!" rings out loudly.

[StingerNLG]

Ok, I'm in. Thanks for helping me stay caught up.

So, where the hell is our offense after our first drive? I said pass protection would be my concern and it looks like so far the Colts defense is doing fine on our OL.

[darb72]

Yeah, our offensive line hasn't been that great but not terrible either.

We need to pass on first down next time we have the ball.

[RavenScallywag]

They're starting to get Wayne on Foxworth for short slants...2 straight for first downs.

[RavenScallywag]

DAMN IT...on 3rd down, Clark short, but he just gets over the 1st down marker before being down

[darb72]

Delay of game on Manning. Our defense messes with his head more than any other team in the NFL.

[RavenScallywag]

Nice hit by Ellerbe to keep them short of 1st down...3rd and 2

Tries to run it with Addai, but he's bottled up.

[UKRavenGordon]

Nice hit by Ellerbe!

[UKRavenGordon]

Run on us?!

[StingerNLG]

All the Colts can get is underneath, but they keep converting them!


Nice stop!

Going for it?

[Stumpy]

Nice stop on 3rd and 2. Stop them

[darb72]

Great play by Ngata. Stuffs the Colts on third and two, but they're going for it on fourth and three.

[Stumpy]

Great play by Ngata. Stuffs the Colts on third and two, but they're going for it on fourth and three.

I don't think they will. I think they just caught us flat footed

[Stumpy]

They're going for it... STOP THEM

[StingerNLG]

And.........SHIT!

[Stumpy]

Awesome hit by Ellerbe

[darb72]

They picked it up, but a good play by Ellerbe.

[Stumpy]

Damn it...

[RavenScallywag]

We're at least playing them tough...right now, this looks a LOT like the 2006 playoff game.

[StingerNLG]

Fuck!!! Their receivers are just too freaking good,

[RavenScallywag]

Tighten up here!

[StingerNLG]

A matter of time. :(

[RavenScallywag]

UGH!

Same play from earlier this year, except trade Clark for Collie...TD Indy.

Ok, just one score...but we need to get focused here...Got to keep the pressure on Manning on D and start getting more production on Offense.

[Stumpy]

I hate Dan "Dickhead" Dierdorff

[darb72]

Ok offense, score a TD here and let's go into half time tied.

[festivus]

Holding them to 10 a half is reasonable. We can't expect to go in & pitch a shutout...

[StingerNLG]

Our offense has GOT to respond here.

Did the Colts get the ball first?

[RavenScallywag]

Yes, we get the ball in 2nd half

Running is actually doing well, but we're so used to Rice shedding his guy after 5 yards. Here, they are wrapping up in the LB/Secondary, not missing.

[Stumpy]

Our offense has GOT to respond here.

Did the Colts get the ball first?

Yep

[Flipping Birdie]

Our offense has GOT to respond here.

Did the Colts get the ball first?

Yes.

[StingerNLG]

NO NO NO NO!!!! On the 19 and we're running in a 2 minute drill?

[Stumpy]

Even if we go into half time down 6-10 and get the ball back.... not too bad.

[RavenScallywag]

This is where it bites us...3rd and 6th now.

Rice gets too excited and drops it...4th down, they have LOTS of time to drive.

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT

[StingerNLG]

Sigh. We cannot win with an offense playing like this.

[Stumpy]

Well... that wasn't very good.

[UKRavenGordon]

Crap, crap, crap!

[darb72]

Or we can drop the ball on third down and force ourselves to punt to Peyton with 1:30 left and him having two timeouts.

Fudge.

[Stumpy]

Come on D.... Daddy's wants a pick 6!!!!

[Stumpy]

We REALLY need to get some pressure on Peyton

[darb72]

We REALLY need to get some pressure on Peyton

No, we really need some offense. This is a bad joke what we're watching after the first drive.

[Stumpy]

D looks really flat out there too...

[RavenScallywag]

Lots of rushing 3, so I guess we're trying to use our LBs to cover the short stuff...

But it's not working, so I think we need to start shifting some coverages around.

[Stumpy]

No, we really need some offense. This is a bad joke what we're watching after the first drive.

I tend to agree... I think the defense is not amused also

[StingerNLG]

Are yoou kidding me??

[RavenScallywag]

If Brown doesn't fall there, they might've had a TD.

And Foxworth for PI...this game us falling apart here.

[Stumpy]

If Brown doesn't fall there, they might've had a TD.

And Foxworth for PI...this game us falling apart here.

Glass is still half full... not like we're down 24-7 at half

[StingerNLG]

Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

That is a bullshit penalty!!!!

[darb72]

And here we go, the Refs are screwing us.

[Stumpy]

That was a BS call... Collie turned, Ray lead with the shoulder

[RavenScallywag]

be prepared to go in 17-3.

This is ridiculous. I thought this crew didn't call ticky tacky penalties...but they are against us.

[NR0D]

Bullsh**

[StingerNLG]

There was no way Collie was either defenseless, nor had he already dropped the ball.

One of the worst calls against us this year!

[RavenScallywag]

3rd and goal...Peyton gets one more chance...

Almost a DoG...but we took our last TO for him.

Why Harbs, why?

I'm calling this...incomplete in endzone, but PI is called, they rush in for a TD. Sorry, I'm a pessimist.

[Stumpy]

I just replayed that... Ray lead with the shoulder and Collie turned ... total horseshit

[HoustonRaven]

I am pirating a wifi signal ....

Can someone tell me what in the hell happend on the Lewis penalty?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

I don't understand...every time we play the Colts, we make thier defense look like the 2000 Ravens/85 Bears.

Going back to our game last year...we have gone 10 quarters without scoring a TD.

Whether our D plays well or not, we are constantly playing from behind and right into the Colts hands.

It makes me wonder if we will ever beat the Colts as long as Peyton is there.

[NR0D]

Please Interecept it

[RavenScallywag]

or no incomplete...TD.

game's not over, but we need to turn this game around BIG TIME in 2nd half. Otherwise, it's already over. Our offense is turning to crap, our D is getting tired already, and they are starting to just blow past us.

[NR0D]

The way we our shitty D is playing, i rather just call for mercy...

:261695:

But seriously I hope John fixs this on OT

[NC Raven]

Helmet to helmet shouldn't be called when the recevier lowers his head to chest level - only when the defender elevates to hit the head.

[StingerNLG]

And it's 17-3.

Our second half offense better show up or this night will be over quickly.

And is Dan Dierdorf going down to the locker room to blow Peyton during halftime?

[NC Raven]

Oh and with 7 seconds left at the 5, commit PI. See if they run another play with 3 seconds left. Sure you give 'em a first down, but will they run another play? No. Commit PI, every time. .............sigh....

[myfavoriteboxer]

Every single red zone play, they just kept adding seconds back to the clock after they'd ticked off. So it's fitting that they get a TD with 3 seconds remaining. Jesus Christ, watching the Ravens v. Colts for the last 8 years has not been good for my health. It's like their pathetic defense turns into the 85 Bears the instant they play us.

[StingerNLG]

The way we our shitty D is playing, i rather just call for mercy...

:261695:

But seriously I hope John fixs this on OT

You can't completely blame the defense here. They've spent most of the half on the field. Except for that first drive, they have been out there a LOT.

[RvnFanInIndy]

Seriously.....is there any chance the Defense could move, or change it's look even 20 seconds before the snap. If you set the D, Manning will read the coverage and shred you....witness the last 5 minutes of the half for proof. The Ravens look like they are asleep out there. So mad right now I could spit freaking intestine!!!!

[RavensInBrazil]

I hate this team. What's the point of playing a fantastic game against the Pats only to come and completely WILT ONE MORE TIME AGAINST THE COLTS

I can't wait until Peyton Manning retires

[StingerNLG]

I hate this team. What's the point of playing a fantastic game against the Pats only to come and completely WILT ONE MORE TIME AGAINST THE COLTS

I can't wait until Peyton Manning retires

The sad truth? We have no passing game. You CANNOT beat the Colts running the ball.

[darb72]

Combine inept offense with terrible officiating and you get a defense that is tired.

Our only hope is that the offense finally, finally after a decade of just flat out sucking, decides to become at least semi-competent.

Pull Clayton, put in Mason for short routes, Washington in the slot and have D-Will run deep.

In all honesty, this game is probably over. Our offense simply cannot play winning football anymore.

[UKRavenGordon]

There's an entire half of football left to play. The game is by no means over. Is it going to be easy? No. But did we ever think it would be easy against a 14-2 team and possibly the best QB ever? Let's see what we can do to open the half.

[StingerNLG]

Demetrius Williams in the game??? PREPOSTEROUS!!!! Clayton is a playmaker!

[RavenScallywag]

We need to figure out a way to beat the Colts eventually...we've beaten Manning at least once, right?

I don't blame the defense really...the offense at the end was 3 and out in about 20 seconds. So the D gets 3 minutes rest before coming back on the field!

[RavenScallywag]

Demetrius Williams in the game??? PREPOSTEROUS!!!! Clayton is a playmaker!

We only threw to Clayton once or twice anyway. And it wasn't like he was dropping the ball. Joe just overthrew him.

[RavensInBrazil]

The defence is playing as well as it needs to play to beat the Colts. The problem is that for some reason our offence is back to the Billick years. What freaking difference has Cam made in this game? It's the same playcalls from the first Indy game, sprinkled with a few drops


I don't mean to say that I've given up on the Ravens, but...go Chargers. We don't stand a chance if we continue with this BS mentality

[darb72]

It's not Peyton that's beating us. It's our offense. Peyton had two good drives, one to end the half which we ran about 20 seconds off the clock after the two minute warning.

We need a receiver and some coaches with the testicles to let the offense try to win some games.

[RavenScallywag]

The offense looked great on the first drive...then something happened and we went to crap.

We need that first drive offense back

[StingerNLG]

We only threw to Clayton once or twice anyway. And it wasn't like he was dropping the ball. Joe just overthrew him.

He hasn't been open though.


9 yards in the 2nd quarter. Disgusting.

[Stumpy]

K... changed jersey's.... lets change the way the game's going

[RavenScallywag]

ugh...Mason almost has a nice catch, but drops it on tackle.

[StingerNLG]

Wow, are you kidding me?? Can our offense get any worse???

[RavenScallywag]

timeout on first drive....this should be good.

[Stumpy]

Hey hey.. used the first timeout...

[hurting]

mason is getting mugged. but no call. this is the third time tonight that it was obvious.,

no call..

what about " they will call that every time"

[RavensInBrazil]

Where's the helmet-to-helmet call on whoever caused Mason to drop it?

[RavenScallywag]

Nice job Rice, turning nothing into something!

[StingerNLG]

Oh thank goodness. Ray Rice!1

[Stumpy]

Awesome stiff are stiff arm by Rice.... taking notes from Willis

[RavenScallywag]

And after a nice play, a penalty to take the wind out of us.

This seems familiar...

[StingerNLG]

LOL, and a false start.

And look another 1st down run! Great playcalling CAM.

And ANOTHER RUN?????

[NR0D]

:187734: Those stupid penaltys have been killing us throught the season...

[NR0D]

:happyanim 3 more yards...

[darb72]

Screw it, let's go for it. We have nothing to lose anyway.

[RavenScallywag]

crucial 3rd down here...

tipped at LoS...and there you go

:grbac:

If Colts O comes out and scores here, I think you can start talking about the draft.

[StingerNLG]

Sigh.

[Stumpy]

Our O line looks horrible... they need to stiffen up in there

[darb72]

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that our offense has no balls?

[NR0D]

If it wasnt for Koch the game will probably be like 24-0

[StingerNLG]

Darb, we're just not built to be a high powered offense, or even a mid-powered offense. And last weeks game seems to have given fans a false sense of security.

[hurting]

Our O line looks horrible... they need to stiffen up in there


Gaither is obviously hurt. Oher to LT fix O Line

[UKRavenGordon]

Need to find a turnover.

[RavenScallywag]

Flacco almost looks pissed talking to Cam on sideline....that makes sense I guess.

[StingerNLG]

Look at that, another short yardage first down.

So frustrating to watch a real offense work.

[RavenScallywag]

WOOOO, I don't care if we're still down, seeing Manning choose to fall down instead of being hit by Ngata, priceless

Of course then they almost have HUGE completion to Collie, but overthrown.

Lucky stop there, Garcon HAD THAT 1st down, but dropped the ball

[hurting]

oh my god. that pu**y did not just fall to avoid a sack did he!

[Stumpy]

Was that a brown stain on the back of Peyton's pants???

[Stumpy]

Nice play by Fabian

[StingerNLG]

Flacco almost looks pissed talking to Cam on sideline....that makes sense I guess.

Maybe Flacco should use some of that on his teammates!

Thanks goodness a lucky break for us!

[UKRavenGordon]

Way to go D.

And can someone get Manning some new pants, he jst shit himself!

[darb72]

Darb, we're just not built to be a high powered offense, or even a mid-powered offense. And last weeks game seems to have given fans a false sense of security.

No, last week was what it was. I probably wouldn't have thrown the ball 10 times after building up a 24 point lead. Dang sure wouldn't with the stable of running backs we have.

We don't throw on first down. We don't throw more than six yards down field. We rarely play-action. Our offense is just way to plain and it's always been that way.

[Stumpy]

Was that helmet to helmet???? :261695:

[4G63]

I really like that Flacco is getting into it with Cam. I also think we should have gone for it on 4th-down at midfield.....oh well.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Darb, we're just not built to be a high powered offense, or even a mid-powered offense. And last weeks game seems to have given fans a false sense of security.

It would be enough if we could even have an expectation of being competitive.

[RavensInBrazil]

Where's the helmet-to-helmet against Carr??

LOL

This game is sad. I can't watch another Colts game in my life

[RavenScallywag]

we didn't get the memo, teams are actually allowed to "knock our blocks off". We're just not allowed to touch their helmets...AT ALL. Like if you help a guy up after a 1st down and pat his head, that's a 15 yard penalty for helmet to helmet. Because obviously we confused our hand with our head.


LOL

[StingerNLG]

We don't throw on first down. We don't throw more than six yards down field. We rarely play-action. Our offense is just way to plain and it's always been that way.

Well, and the reason is very clear. When you have basically one decent receiver on the field at all times, and nothing else, how can you? We have changed OC's, we have a young rocket armed QB, and a running back that can help sell the play-action. But no one to get open to throw to.

[StingerNLG]

Hey look. Run on 1st down.

I bet they do it again next time!

[ravenwoman]

Why didn't Ngata fall on Manning, like Siragusa did on Rich Gannon? Just because the QB falls to the ground doesn't mean the play is dead. A defender has to touch him, right?

[darb72]

Well, and the reason is very clear. When you have basically one decent receiver on the field at all times, and nothing else, how can you? We have changed OC's, we have a young rocket armed QB, and a running back that can help sell the play-action. But no one to get open to throw to.

An excellent point. However, my counter argument was just displayed to a national audience. 2nd and one, Colts load up to stop the run. Why do we not at least attempt a play-action?

[4G63]

I really want to see the whole book throw at the Colts now......I don't give a fuck anymore! There is no NEXT WEEK! We've got nothing to lose at this point!!

[RavenScallywag]

Why didn't Ngata fall on Manning, like Siragusa did on Rich Gannon? Just because the QB falls to the ground doesn't mean the play is dead. A defender has to touch him, right?

you kidding me? The refs might actually just call a no-name penalty on us...

They'll just say "Penalty, Ravens...whatever you want it to be...15 yards, 1st down"

God damn Gaither!

[StingerNLG]

Mother fucker. Gaither is not having a good game here.

[NR0D]

Damn it...

[Stumpy]

WTF??? It's like they want to lose

[RavenScallywag]

Heap 1st down!

I actually heard a quiet "HEEEEEEEAAAAAPPP" in Indy. Nice.

[RavenScallywag]

Gaither again!

Cousins is active, right?

[Flipping Birdie]

time to pull gaither

[StingerNLG]

Hey look. 1st down run...

AND a holding penalty.

[RavenScallywag]

hahaha, 1st and 20, what's the playcall?

Run.

Cam must owe Ray Rice some money.

[StingerNLG]

LOL. 1st and 20 and we still run.

Do we not have passing plays in the book on 1st down?

[Stumpy]

hahaha, 1st and 20, what's the playcall?

Run.

Cam must owe Ray Rice some money.

Rice has nakid pics of Cam's old lady

[StingerNLG]

And.....no flag. Of course.

Brackett not even LOOKING at the ball.

[Stumpy]

No PI on that... Brackett wasn't looking fo the ball

[NR0D]

Was that PI?

[darb72]

We suck. That is all.

[RavenScallywag]

Jump ball to Rice....really?

Rice is 5'7"!!!!!

At last give the jump ball to Mason

4th and going for it....no go to DWil.

Starting to look grim...

[hurting]

Hey look. 1st down run...

AND a holding penalty.



now!

.

[StingerNLG]

This is so frustrating to watch.

[Flipping Birdie]

Yeeeeesh.... this is pretty embarrassing.

[Stumpy]

Again... refs changing a game... they need to call it the same both ways. I may have to switch to college football

[festivus]

Oh, DWill, ....

You are what I thought you were. :grbac:

[RavenScallywag]

And.....no flag. Of course.

Brackett not even LOOKING at the ball.

At first glance, that did look fishy to me. But again, any borderline call WILL be called against us, and not for us. It's a stigma that's going to take awhile to get rid of. We need to play practically hands off for a full season before we'll have a shot at getting some of those borderline calls.

[myfavoriteboxer]

I'm sick of this team, incredibly sick of watching them. Not good for my health. I guess there's a silver lining to this season about to be over. Good grief.

[4G63]

Fuck you Refs....when a defensive player grabs at the hands of a reciever before the ball arrives? THAT'S PI!

[darb72]

Oh, DWill, ....

You are what I thought you were. :grbac:

Eh, Mason dropped one earlier that was a much easier catch. DWill probably was shocked he had a ball thrown his way.

[StingerNLG]

God fucking damnit reed!!!!!!!!!!!!


Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!!!!!

[RavenScallywag]

There it is again...Ed looks to lateral and COUGHS IT UP


DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT...FU Ravens! Seriously, we can'ty do one damn good thing without f-ing it up!

[Flipping Birdie]

Ha!

[NR0D]

Damn it Reed...Why just not getting out of bounds...

[4G63]

Thanks Ed Reed

[Stumpy]

I don't even know what to say after that large pile of horse shit

[StingerNLG]

That could have been a game changer.

[Flipping Birdie]

There it is again...Ed looks to lateral and COUGHS IT UP


DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT...FU Ravens! Seriously, we can'ty do one damn good thing without f-ing it up!

that wasn't a lateral . he was stripped

[darb72]

He didn't try to lateral. He was running and Garcion knocked it out.

[RavenScallywag]

It's hard...we're all pissed at him, until his lateral gets us something significant. It did last week.

And there we go, Colts moving the chains again.

[myfavoriteboxer]

That was no lateral, simply him not securing the ball and coughing it up on the tackle. Dude never learns.

[hurting]

At first glance, that did look fishy to me. But again, any borderline call WILL be called against us, and not for us. It's a stigma that's going to take awhile to get rid of. We need to play practically hands off for a full season before we'll have a shot at getting some of those borderline calls.


borderline call? BS. I just replayed it in slo- mo. he never turned around. at worst it shout have been called hand to the face!




.

[RavenScallywag]

He didn't try to lateral. He was running and Garcion knocked it out.

He was holding the ball away from him, looking for someone to lateral to. Technically he didn't do it, but I think the only reason he wasn't holding the ball safe is he was trying to lateral.

[darb72]

And there's our second time out. Folks, I think it's safe to start discussing draft plans.

I personally want to trade our first to the Broncos for Marshall. Any disagreement?

[StingerNLG]

And our second time out is gone. Awesome.

And no Reed was not trying to lateral. But he never secures the ball, EVER!!

[Stumpy]

I feel like I'm going to puke... But even with the bs calls and VERY bad luck on a few plays (missed INTs etc...) we are still there. We ARE starting to get into Peyton's head

[UKRavenGordon]

He was holding the ball away from him, looking for someone to lateral to. Technically he didn't do it, but I think the only reason he wasn't holding the ball safe is he was trying to lateral.

The ball looked as if he was holding it well to me, Garcon just hit it perfectly.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Well, looking at that play with Garcon running after Reed the whole way, and Reed's casual ball handling like it won't be enough just to get the ball back on the 30. Um. I hate to say it but I think the other team wants it more and deserves it more. Lemme go barf now.

[darb72]

At least Reed changed field posisiton, which is something our offense had failed to do so far.

[4G63]

IDK guys....unless something changes drastically on O, we're done. This "offense" of ours just isn't set up with our current crop of players to beat a quick Colts defense.....

[NC Raven]

I personally want to trade our first to the Broncos for Marshall. Any disagreement?

Agreed

[darb72]

And pass interference on us. Way to go guys, kudos.

[RavenScallywag]

Ed picks another, but FLAG...

PI!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!

GOODBYE 2009 SEASON

[StingerNLG]

Wait. There is a flag.

BUT, thank you for NOT turning the ball over this time Reed.

PASS INTERFERENCE???? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING???

Nice job Ivy. Hey we signed him over McAlister, remember?

[Stumpy]

This is fucking horse shit...
