Big boi catch by SSS.

Really should have traded for Brandon Marshall. SSS wasn't gonna be here forever. Vet on the receiving corp even with the rookie draft picks.

Marlon with a catch.

Trust me, that pick he just threw does. No excuse for the pick especially when he could throw it out of bounds.

Why wouldn't he throw it away in that situation? That has got to be worse decision Joe has made in his career.

WTH was that. Like wth was that?

-___- there goes that 2nd half TO.

Juice scares me when he runs with the ball. ALways seems like its a big hit or wacky tackle.

I don't think he understands that where the defense is positioned across the field, when the window to throw balls appear, and how routes are ran, prevent every ball from being on the numbers.

No chemistry.

We lead the nfl in 3rd down sacks?

It looked like the LB got a hand on that throw to Allen.

Joe makes a great throw into the endzone and it gets dropped. This team is not on the same page enough. ugh.

Ball was behind him but this is the NFL, you make catches like that. Oh well.

Our power runs this year leave much to desire. =[

Really glad to have Crockett back in the line-up. He's been a great "secret" weapon.

Ross has been a nice pick-up for returns. Barely gets chances but makes the most of them.

That was a terrible screen. Only had one blocker.

Bend but don't break doesn't work because you'll eventually break. The Ravens through history don't generally give up on average 300+ yards per game. Through the years when we were plundered for DCs, we rarely gave up on average more than 300+ yards per game. There were a couple years when we hovered around 300 (plus or minus 5 yards for instance) but for the most part it was under. The only years we gave up noticeably 300+ avg yards/game were 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014. From 2012-2014, we actually improved based on rankings from 17th in 2012 to 12th in 2013, and 8th in 2014. Our yards average for those years were 350 in 2012, 335 in 2013, and 336 in 2014. Our passing defense in those years was ranked 17th in 2012 (228 yards/game), 12th in 2013 (230 yards/game), and 17th in 2014 (248 yards/game). Maybe injuries played a big part in the increase or maybe a bend but don't break philosophy doesn't work because it'll eventually break.

I saw that. I agree it's terrible and the offense needs to improve. Even then, for the fourth quarter, the offense scored: 13 against Oakland 10 against Cinci 6 against Pitt 9 against Cleveland The offense needs to finish drives especially late game, see e.g., Oakland and Cleveland The defense needs to hold leads. see e.g., Cinci.

All problems with the defense are not Dean Pees fault. It's obvious that players keep messing up and dropping like flies. A lot of our problems with him stems from expectations, the Ravens historically have drafted very defense heavy (this includes post 08) and therefore we have a lot of talent. On average, Dean Pees's Ravens defense since he took over in 2012 have been okay and decent but not great like most other Ravens defenses in that Dean Pees's defenses allow a good amount of yards. With the talent the defense has , we expect greatness and not decent. 2015 so far has been downright horrendous though.

The way Trestman was scheming to get SSS open shows he's more creative the Kubiak. Likewise he actually called a qb bootleg which fooled everybody in the stadium. Kube's ZBS and stretch runs are way better than anything Trestman does in the run game even though the run game hasn't been terrible recently. Trestman's play-calling in certain situations leaves a lot to be desired and I still want different personnel packages to take advantage of mismatches, but in 5 games, our offense on average has been more potent than Kube's and Trestman has less talent to work with. Regarding San Fran, I honestly believe that Kaepernick will look like Vince Young in the Rose Bowl this week.

Thank you; this is the truth about this team. I can't understand why people don't see this. The people on the forum have been constantly complaining about Pees (who always had talent at every level) and the lack of investment on offense (where our best player is our RG). Well this is what happens when your defense finally breaks and your offense lacks the talent to carry said defense. It was going to happen eventually and 2015 is that time. P.S. Matt Elam's tackling has fallen off and he always lacked the cover skills. He's a strong safety and only a strong safety. Maybe Teryl Austin's departure affected his tackling ability or maybe he's just out of position playing CB.

He is right about Arrington though. Idk about the others.

A lot problems aren't Pees fault; I think we all see that. That being said, sometimes a change is what you need to have people perform/execute better.
