That says it all. We stink !!!~~~~pheewww~~~

Nice post. We are sooooooo inept at passing. You'd think, with a strong-armed QB like FLacco, we'd at least try to push the ball downfield. 6 or whatever yards per attempt is last in the league. Does not add up (make sense). THROW THE BALL !!!!!!!! Right?

We always seem to get burned by a top-flight WR. Wether it's A.J. Green, A. Brown, or OBJ. I know Smith missed half the game and that's when OBJ got going. If we're playing a team with one of those awesome receivers, we're going to be losing the game unless we score every time 7 POINTS, not 3. I really do think we cannot afford to only get 3, it cost us vs. the Raiders in a 28-27 loss, where we had 2 FG's and they had the extra TD (4 on the day). I'm sure we will lose if we're not scoring TD's almost every time on our opponents side of the field. I don't blame Harbaugh for going for the TD. He was going for the win, we just didn't execute and really, you need to throw at least once in a series inside the 5 yard line. You certainly cannot risk running on 4th down. I disagree with not throwing it at least once and I didn't like the execution (blocking up-front), but I do not disagree with Harbaugh giving the PLAYERS a chance to win the game, I know some disagree with this, but at least if you don't make the TD, their starting from their own goal line and most likely will end up punting anyway.

YES!!! He is not a selfish player at all but knew that was the best chance of actually scoring a TD. I was going to write that. Anyway, worse than that, we might have thrown an interception that went 99 yards the other way and got them a TD right away. I guess 6 points is all you can lose on one play. Anyway, someone could have gotten hurt on the offense, you get the idea, we're very lack-luster on offense as Flacco had a horrible 7.0 yards average per completion. I would love to say he threw for 300 yards and 4 TD's at least a few times before this year is over. I must be dreaming!

I'll say it 'cause I didn't read it here, but I think the Ravens had 10 passes in the '0 to minus 4 yard' range. I kept watching those check-downs and they were giving us those plays, hoping we were stupid enough to try to move the ball that way. I'm not calling us stupid, just that you might as well run the ball an extra 10 times than throw 10 plays that net 0 yards for an average.........gosh!

You might be on to something here. The fact is Flacco was exactly at 7.0 yards per completion. I checked Phillip Rivers' stats out over at ESPN, and he had a gaudy 17.1 yards per completion and 4 Touchdowns. Flacco had 30 completions, while Rivers and the supposedly awful 1-4 Chargers was 21 for 30 on passes. I think we lead the league with the most passes in the '0 to MINUS -4 Yard Range'. Over a 7 minute span, I think we had 8 completions that averaged 0 yards, crazzzzzzy. I say we throw 20 passes of at least 10 - 20 yards in the 1st half next week and see if we, at least have the 'Potential' to gain yards and actually MOVE the ball down the field.

The stats have shown over the years, that the Ravens do a lot better with Sizzle on the field. Even one person can make a big difference, good for him!

I think if we took more shots at 25 + yard passes, we'd have scored even more. You're going to live and die with your QB and you're going to lose more games if you don't give him a chance to score more. We won, and only scored 13 points!?!?!? Most teams would have wiped us out if we played that way. I hope we're ready to go for it more. I don't know if we'll need to next week at Cleve., but I hope we're hitting our stride by the Oakland game. After all, they gave us a close loss last year. I hope we go for it more.

Could his luck be any worse, I feel terrible, very sad for him. Sad for Ravens fans too. I was looking very much forward to see him get a second chance at showing his speed and skills. So sad for him.

I had some concerns about signing an ex-Steeler (for 4 years), but after reading the news today about this, I have to say, I'm pretty stoked about it. I really think Flacco will take advantage of his weapons at the receiver position, TE's included. Now, we might even be able to keep pace with the likes of Cincy and N.E., and could even match-up better with those rival Steelers (though we did beat them with and without Big Ben last year. We're finally netting Veterans, which I've been saying we need to do. You cannot win on young talent alone in this league. We're having a most impressive offseason, '16.

It's a good singing, one less DB we need to draft.

Rowdy Roddy White would be nice to add experience to our WR group.

I've been leaning hard on Hargreaves from Florida. I also like Bosa and Myles Jack as 2nd or 3rd options.

I'd be very happy if we got a lot of INT's this coming season. Webb, hopefully, will be soaking up this information like a sponge (others as well).

I hope we get Hargreaves (CB), for sure. If not, then I would like to get a WR.
