Todd Haley just saw a weak link in Wright and went for it. The Ravens pass rush heavy packages (Suggs, Jernigan, Doom, Judon) couldn't get it done.
Offensively, no excuse to get into Steelers territory five times in the first half and get no points. No excuse to start on the forty twice and in the red zone twice and net 10 points. The defense gifted 10 points to the offense, but for the most part, the offense was largely ineffective. They could move the ball, but not finish.
This was a team loss. No unit lost the game. It was both sides of the ball and special teams with that blocked FG.
But yet you make excuses for the defense giving up 3 TD drives of 75, 90 and 80 I believe. Funny. But if we're counting things from the 1st half the defense also had that pathetic excuse of a TD drive they gave up.

Per the rules, yes. But I hate that it is considered a TD. A receiver has to not only get both feet down in the end zone but then hold onto the ball when he falls down. It is absurd that you can just reach in from the 1 as a runner.

It's not a new thing. He should've been fired ages ago.

They cannot make a clutch stop to save their lives and haven't since the Super Bowl. If Pees stays another season Harbs needs to go too.
The WRs and TEs are not playmakers, period.
Flacco and the RBs played well, as did the line.
They were already out in the game thread.

steve smith last game.
There was some talk he might come back for one more year but, not sure how I feel about that.

Can't imagine how Jimmy is feeling right now.
Yes they both need gone.

The offense did their job and scored with those picks. The D went into the 4th with a 2 score lead which they squandered. The offense then gave them the lead yet again. And they couldn't even hold them to a FG. This is squarely on the defense.
1 minute ago, BmoreBird22 said:They tried quite a bit of everything and still fell short.
But let's blame the defense when the Ravens get past the 50 five (six?) times, but don't score a touchdown. That's atrocious.
You go into the 4th with a 2 score lead you should win that game 95% of the time. We win it like 2% of the time. Massive defensive fail.

get out of here with that crap
Not to mention, didn't the D give up a TD drive letting Bell run through them like butter in the 1st half?
Said it before, say it again. We will go nowhere as long as Pees is here. This year that also goes for Marty.
Just now, BmoreBird22 said:Started in the red zone two times, started at your forty twice. I mean, damn, how much more do you need to score?
2 score lead that you don't even put up a fight to keep, offense scores again and you can't even hold them to a FG but allow the go ahead TD. How much do you need to play actual defense?
Thanks Pees for ruining Christmas. Hope yours sucks too.
Fire Pees now.
garbage D. Garbage Pees.
D can't even manage to keep them from going out of bounds.
This is words I can't use here.
c'mon Ben. make a mistake.
Pees should be gone tomorrow if we lose this game. Piss poor showing by defense for 3 weeks now.
okay so obviously the defense can't stop them from a FG - can you at least not give up a TD?
c'mon defense. toughen up!
omg. this is pathetic.
our defenders don't even get tackle them in bounds!
let's go defense.
Just now, mc_red23 said:No we can't. The offense had the opportunities to score way more TD's.
So is the defense EVER expected to do their job with the game on the line?
Just now, Adreme said:Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! He did it too quickly, this is so bad. Ben has way too much time left.
And no fan of any team with a semi - adequate defense should ever have to utter those words.
wake the freak up defense and shut this game down!

But Flacco did his job - our receivers didn't. Or else 6 of those points become 14.
