I haven't even bothered to defend the offense, there's really nothing to defend at the moment, let's hope that changes this week.

I see others fans taking the time to trash our offense as a compliment at this point lol

if there is a time to turn things around now is the time though.

feasting on the worst defense will be just that if the offense dont show up this game

Cowbums fans are really high on themselves while trashing us...especially our offense:

at least give them credit for acknowledging that we at least have an offense worth trashing lol

honestly speaking saying we have an offense is a joke in itself ...

Lol okay bud. Steve and ray have an extensive history of saying pretty questionable things that made little to no sense

That was my point. It wasn't a post defending flacco but my opinion that ray was flat out wrong for questioning his passion simply because he's not a "ra-ra guy". 

ray and steve where more then just talk/ ra-ra guys.

id go with crockett maxx and waller.

pitta and watson are not the future and boyle is a suspension waiting to happen.

waller is a special teams ace who offers some intresting skills as well.
worth developing while he makes his mark on special teams.

2003 was epic seeing jamal hit 2k yards rushing and almost getting the record.

2011 because that defense was insane

win the division.

quite possible with our defense and special teams unit.

just need an at least avg offense to help out.

an above avg to good offense would be nice though.

<------------ locks to get in with out a single doubt.

I honestly put the blame at Ozzie's feet. Look at the Dolphins. They had a crappy, crappy line, and over the offseason, they invested in it big time. Now it's poppin'.

Imagine if, instead of drafting a project in Ryan Jensen, Ozzie actually got a quality guard. I think he gambles and puts a little too much faith in Castillo to get satisfactory results out of mediocre players. Robert Myers and Ryan Jensen fit that description in my book.

draft will always be a gamble and quality guards are not cheap.

quite curious on what positions where you looking to sacrifice to get that top quality guard.

Win or lose I think we leave this game with people talking about this defense.  I really want to keep our Dallas streak going and think it's possible if we can get Yanda back.  their defense can be exposed if we can put drives together.

key to this game will be the offense going on drives and manage the clock.

if we go 3 and out or lots of short drives a lot that dallas oline will destroy our defense.

we have 12 turnovers lost on offense.
opposite of that we have a league worst 6 passing TD and  a middle of the pack 5 rushing TD scored.

what exactly are people supposed to respect about the above?

If i have to guess its probably that McClellan is a very experienced player who can play all 4 lber positions.

he probably offers a lil bit more assurance in being able to do what he is asked to do without worrying of committing dumb penalties or being out of position to many times.

our defense has been committing very few penalties and it probably has to do with having so many experienced players on the field.

Pretty sure none of the coaches give 2 squirts what we think. However I bet they occasionally take a look to see what's being said and sometimes something sticks that may seem like a good idea and they'll try it. We're all human, and if a coach doesn't at least read comments from fans, some of whom study gametape quite a bit, than they're a fool. 

sure why not

i guess he is also getting tired of all of this unjustifiable prevent crap that he thought that leaving all 3 of those lbers in the game might put it to rest.

probably also explains why he send powers on a CB blitz at around the 6 min mark.

he probably just did it to get some of these ill logic peeps off his back.

Disbelieve at what just happened and how it happened.

lol!  How big of a lead do we need?  21 points Mili!  21 freaking points!  What should have been needed "finish them off"? If we never toched the ball again surely we should feel comfortable with such a lead and 10 minutes remaining. 

Like I said, I don't disagree with much that you said, but we have to find an answer to the end of game collapses. 

pick up first downs on offense.
maybe score some points.

thinking out of the box here though.

LMAO...that's not me.  Only reason I posted that was to head off the claim that the D was expected to be tired with 10 minutes left in the game. 21 points.  They were leading by 21 points. I'm not into the offense vs. defense debate, not my bag. I'm a fan of the Ravens football team.

hmmm care to list the  TOP in the 2nd half and perhaps the 4th quarter in particular?

probably would paint a different picture then the 1 you are trying to show right now.

For people claiming stats don't always tell the to story that's funny.  with all the 3 and outs provided we damn well should have a better TOP.

 

It's just funny to me the expectations for one side and not the other.  Doesn't make much sense.  I don't see many people saying, damn the offense collapsed in the Patriots divisional game after floundering in the 4th quarter and ending the game with a pick. That's basically the type of logic used here.

it makes sense when you put a certain player above the team.

only reason they keep making excuses for 1 side and looking for whatever they can to bash the units that actually show up...

32 minutes and only 10 points with 7 coming on a drive less then 1 minute lol

I'm curious to see where kaufusi fits in,  obviously assuming he performs

probably gonna play in sub packages next to jernigan on the inside.

would make the most sense.

Was Alex Lewis the starting left guard or was that someone else?

lewis

got highest grade on offense.

should probably stick there if he keeps this up .

All the Pees defenders make this claim and it is just pure horse hockey. Are you trying to say that one of the questions for any DB before they come here is "Do you give a bazillion yard cushion in the 4th quarter with the game on the line? No? Oh I'm sorry, you can't play here then. Thanks for coming in."

You see, it isn't about keeping the play in front of you, everyone gets that. It is about keeping the play so far in front of you, that you have zero chance of coming forward to make the tackle before they gain a zillion yards and have zero chance of ever making any play on the ball or breaking it up. This is what Pees does in the 4th almost without exception. Your statement is most likely a fact throughout the game, but with the consistency that we give those insane cushions, that is definitely a Pees' call. I do not believe that every DB we've ever had since Pees came here chooses to give those crazy cushions. It defies any logic.

breaking up the pass stops the clock.
tackling them inbound keeps the clock running.

when your offense only manages to burn less then a minute every freaking time , you need to figure out some way to keep the clock running without giving them a chance at a quick TD.

also Pees calls the play and by that lets them know what their responsibilities are.
the DB coach teaches them the techniques on how to excecute that play.
the DB themselves decide what technique they will use on that play.

when its cover 4 or cover 3 and the outside CB is responsible for the deep part of his side of the field , its up to him to decide on how he will do it.
any CB with a braincell will play at least 10 yards off the WR because it will give him the best chance to full fill his assignment.
someone else is responsible for the intermediate and short part of the field.
his only job is to not get beat deep and as long as he prevent that then he did his job.

the only time the CB should even try to play close coverage is if he is responsible for the short/intermediate part ( cover 2) or its man coverage with a safety deep.

zone coverages gives players a responsibility for a certain part of the field.
how they plan on defending that part is up them.

man cov speaks for itself and even that is up to the players discretion on how he will handle it.

if you score enough point or at least pick up first downs and burn time you wont be in a position to give up a lead.

this game should have been a blow out with back ups playing going into the 4th....

I'd like to see Young take over Webb's current role and put a taller press corner opposite of Jimmy.

you want to move him to Safety?

why?

No clue how Flacco's struggles make being a homer a bad thing.  Everyone has pretty much acknowledged the struggles but are looking for better ways to correct that than "he sucks, bench/cut him, blow up the cap".  We've seen "good Flacco", we want to get back there.  

You (and several other posters) just keep telling us our kid is ugly.  That simply isn't helpful nor welcome.

nah suggesting flacco is just as good as brady, rodgers and brees is legit lol.

only delusional ravens fans would go that far.....
