After watching this game...I'm thinking that the Ravens offense looked an awful like the Pats offense against us??? Alot of dink and dunk, burning our secondary...Any thoughts??

NO, they just ran the ball really well and that set up the play action which our scrubs bit on everytime!!

Get ready to see a lot of this. Apparently, the linebackers and safeties can't cover running backs and tight ends in the intermediate passing game. It used to be that this was only an issue when we played the Pats, but I guess the defense is getting slower, quarterbacks are getting better or a little bit of both. There are now three copies of tape showing how to beat the Lebeau 34 in recent history. Now they need to right the ship or let it sink and go down with it.

I can't believe how wide open they left ray rice. There were several times he was wide open and nobody was even near him. I think Ray rice set flacco up to pass well. If we had stopped rice then flacco wouldnt have had the success he did.

I still think it looked a bit like what the Pats do offensively to us...I just don't ever want to watch that game again!!!!!

WE CANT STOP THE PASS!! Its been our achilles heel or how long now? All you have to do is spread us out and have a decent offensive line. Sorry im still pissed about yesterday >.>

Flacco always had success throwing to Rice and his TE's in the past against the Steelers....No surprise the thing was Flacco always melted down in big moments against the Steelers...He didn't yesterday........
