Wow. I am without words right now. 7 years my go to place to discuss with Ravens' fans.

I am being abandoned in Steeler country. Thanks a lot. So much ugh.

I did not read through this thread so if already answered, I apologize but does this mean no more gameday thread? This makes me crazy sad. You can't discuss things like we do here on those other platforms. They do not lend themselves to discussions.

Yes I know. In your eyes the defense is not required to do their job at all unless the other team starts inside their own 10. The offense is expected to perform from their own 5 yd line and score - but not the defense. Nope buddy. They are only required to do their job if all the stars align in their favor lol If you give your defense a 28-6 lead to start the 3rd quarter - and then are given another 6 points to add to that - if it comes down to a goal line stand - your defense has failed. You can blame coaching, players, whomever you like - but it is defensive fail with only 2 exceptions. If there is a pick 6 or there is a fumble in the end zone. If your defense allows 31 pts in the 2nd half - or 21 pts in the 4th quarter - to blow a significant lead - that is a defensive failure. Offenses are going to become more conservative with such a lead and concentrate more on running out clock - that is just fact. Why do they do that? Oh that's right - because they expect that a defense can hold such a significant lead.

Oh please stop. The defense collapsed after the outage plain & simple. The offense was not on fire like they were the first half and no one argues that, however, anyone with a brain knows that with a 28-3 lead the offense will play differently right? They turn more to trying to take time off the clock. The defense not only let the 49ers catch up but march down the field in the last minutes and be 5 yds from a win. I might add without the offense producing those 6 pts we LOSE. Without a Ray Lewis & Ed Reed that SB ends very differently. Little did we know at the time that such a defensive collapse late would become the norm for Pees.

I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out how you allow 21 in the 4th quarter.

football is ruined.

dang. grab the ball Beasley.

oh and of course, please.

oh please let me wake up & discover this is a nightmare.

Sheesh. It's like watching Pees' 4th quarter D.

no resistance at all.

lol I don't know why. He's still responsible for his passes right? We blame Flacco around here if the back up QB is playing.

well NE wins the toss soooo this might end quickly lol

Pathetic.

It's sickening.

wow

I'm sick.

uh oh are the refs going to help them out now?????

this is disgusting.

Yes. I am beyond envious when I watch other teams.

omg. I will not be able to watch anything football related all off season if the Falcons don't pull it together and win this thing. We will NEVER hear the end of Brady and the amazing freaking comeback.

I don't care what it costs - I want a receiver like Jones or well, almost anyone on these 2 teams
