    No the entire board is going away. If you scroll through a little bit you'll see the link to scout, and with a new forum that Bold started up. Or there's RSR. I was originally disappointed, but as I posted above, I can kinda see the reasoning. Sad, but blame those like Rosie ODonnel. This is the world we live in. Lol

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

    correction the team collapsed not just the defense.

    how else would you explain 2 of the niners 4 scoring drives after the outage starting at the ravens 20 and 24 yard line?

    well 1 started with the offense going 3 and out while losing 8 yards which resulted in a punt return to the ravens 20 yard line.

    the other was a fumble on the 2nd play of the next drive which resulted in the niners starting on the ravens 24 yard line.

    pretty insane if you dont consider this collapsing on the offense and special teams part and even more crazy blaming this on the defense...

    then lets not forget that at the time the defense also lost this guy named ngata who im pretty sure its not some bum.

    but by al means  dont let things that actually happened screw up your argument in your personal vendetta against pees though..

     

     

    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.

    You say it also applies to the offense, yet when recalling that SB run you give the defense no credit based on how they played after the outage while giving flacco full credit based on how he played before the outage.

    makes sense.....

    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.

    Just some thoughts-

     

     

    Overall, still don't understand how the Falcons could allow 31 second half points. Even if they didn't score a single other point (which they didn't), how do you allow 31 points in a half?

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

    I cannot put this on Matt Ryan at all when the play caller will not call runs.

    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.

    The Falcons weren't even threatening runs on some of these plays.  They had Freeman positioned up to pass block.  

    play calling has been questionable, and the line broke at times, but you can see it in Ryan's eyes. He is choking.
