It's Cleveland and we are the RAVENS we shouldn't be losing to them with a 20M a year QB. We didn't score on the last drive of regulation to win the game. Brady and Manning has done it for years...win without dominant defense. Rogers won for years without having a 100 yard rusher. The defense played horrible pass defense, bu the offense had a chance to seal the deal.

Prevent defenses only prevents you from winning! Also didn't McCown beat us in 2013 with Chicago? So there is a history playing against him...SMH

We lost the game by not scoring on the last drive in regulation. The play calls were horrible on that drive when we got to the end zone and on the two point conversion on the previous TD drive. The offense rhythm was better today, but I'm still not sold on Trestman. Seems as if we can't keep our good O-Coordinators. Joe catches lightening in a bottle in 2012 playoffs and Caldwell gets the Lions job, last year Joe has career numbers and Forsett rushes for 1000 yards and Kubiak gets the Denver job. Is there a young up and coming OC we can hire that needs a few good years before he is considered a HC candidate? At least if you hire from within with a DC that scheme stays very similar, but our OC situation is a revolving door.

Sad thing about it is we have a 120 Million Dollar QB so there's no such thing as giving the young QB (if we had one) a chance to play so we can improve our draft status lol.

The jury is still out on the Bengals. When is the last time they won a playoff game?

Blah Blah Blah....

Tucker is the man...point blank!

When you are making 20M a year it is your fault when offense is mediocre and I'm sorry when the game is on the line and you are losing with less than 3 minutes left you don't take a sack on 4th down. The way the NFL is these days anything can happen...defensive holding, pass interference, a pass completion...you don't take the sack on 4th down when you are losing and it could possibly be the last time you have the ball for the game.

I feel a Wes Welker type of love affair going on here lol

I like what you are doing trying to get as many NEGs as possible or you are just plain crazy lol.

Thanks for the NEG. Sorry I didn't agree with you that Will Hill isn't the best safety in the NFL.

I guess the one fumble wasn't a mistake? Or taking a sack on 4th down when you are down by 3 with less than 3 minutes left in the game wasn't a mistake also?

Thanks Budman. Hopefully he can sure up our secondary.

I expected some "NEGS", but if you think he is earning his $20M so far this year you are in denial. The more negs I get only proves my point

I was with you until you said he was the "best" safety in football. I guess you forgot he had a P.I. on 3rd down that put the Raiders in perfect scoring position or last week when he didn't cover his zone and gave up a pass on 3rd and 15? Don't overreact on one game were he made a couple of good plays and forget about other games when he didn't

I'm not lol. Our QB situation is very questionable going forward. There were so many ways in the 4th quarter that it was proven that the offensive staff does not have confidence in Flacco. We had enough time before regulation to take a shot at the endzone to win the game and we opted to run the ball and depend on our "clutch" kicker to send the game in overtime even though we have a $20M/year QB. Flacco is a long way from the guy who checked out of a run play on 3rd and 1 to throw a pass to Boldin in the Super Bowl. Only a QB with sky high confidence would do that. He is a QB with shaky confidence these days.

Be careful for what you ask for. I remember I was saying the same thing about #38 Melvin towards the end of the year last year. He hasn't been the same since he gave up the gaming winning TD to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. BUT Davis did make a couple of nice plays and I'm still asking the question "Where did he come from all of a sudden?".

How about Ozzie gives Tucker the game check that Flacco will be receiving? I have more confidence in the kicker than the $120M QB. Nevertheless it does feel great to get the win circa 2000 style.

If Pees is gone Trestman needs to be packing his bags also.

Looking at our schedule and the only teams I have confidence that we may beat are Cleveland and Jacksonville. This is unbelievable and just to think 3 weeks ago experts were picking us to make it to the Super Bowl? That's why you play the games.

I rather be 2-0. We have lost people also. Suggs' season ending injury, Monroe with concussion, and you might as well say that Webb is "lost" on the field with his performances the last two games. So no I rather be 2-0 and not 0-2.

I must be missing something here? Who should he be starting over? Daryll? Mosley?

I'm not concerned about inexperienced receivers. Joe Flacco is the man in the playoffs. We just need to win our 10-11 games this year and let that man do his thing!

Lebron didn't win his first year with Miami either. So I expect next year with a healthy team the Cavs will have a good shot at making it to the Finals. If you have at least one honest bone in your body there's no way you can't say he isn't the best basketball player in the world. The issue with guys like him and Jordan is they can be named MVP basically every year and how could you argue when they are the best in the game? They are/were always judged on their previous seasons on if they should earned MVP. Given it to other players from time to time gives the media something new to discuss.

"The Ravens had zero intention of making Joe the starter in his first year. Kyle Boller suffered a season ending injury before the season started, and Troy Smith had an illness I believe that made Joe the starter Week 1." Sounds like the perfect next man up scenario?
