Militant X 1

We missed a win.

I'm trying Ravens419. I really am but that loss stings and is still hanging in my gut man! I never said that.

Weddle chose the Ravens despite plenty of other options on the open market. He drew interest from several teams after the San Diego Chargers cut him this offseason, including the Steelers and New England Patriots. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger even gave Weddle a recruiting pitch to try to get him to Pittsburgh. But Weddle opted for the Ravens. So what? Both the Steelers and the Patriots are in the playoffs while the Ravens...who once again....couldn't handle their own business is sitting on the coach like we fans. Oh! Thanks Weddle!!!!

Good D? You mean that monstrosity that gave up 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter Sunday afternoon and that couldn't get a sack on Big Ben to save their lives? That's a good D? If that's a good D, I'd hate to see what a horrible one looks like. P.S. Yes! I'm still pissed by Sunday's loss that shouldn't have happened...but it did. So my responses may be filled with venom towards our boys at the moment. I should be fine by this weekend!

That statement says it all.

We need more than "one" playmaker on both sides of the ball Ravens419. That's limiting ourselves! To be honest we need a few! Don't forget about our depth issues.

I'm not just going to go along with the crowd here. I don't see spurts of potential. I'm not saying that he can't or won't be "that" guy...but as of now....this season...he was just "a" guy. Plain and simple. Nothing spectacular to put in your mental files.

We've known and said this all season long to be honest so it doesn't come as a surprise. Getting those "playmakers" on this team and in the game has been the achilles heel for this team.

The Cowboys "look" and "play" like a team in the playoffs that's making a Super Bowl run. Ravens? Don't look or play ANYTHING like that! SMH!!

How many sacks on Big Ben did his "emotions" have last night?

I agree with the last bolded statement and I'm still pissed too! Let the being "sick of" it flow brah!

Steve Smith, Sr. says goodbye.... http://www.totalprosports.com/2016/12/26/baltimore-ravens-wr-steve-smith-announces-retirement/

The reality is this.... For all of the...Ravens "dominate" the Steelers talk because they beat them the last 4xs and that they are 4-0 against division opponents this season....and...that they destroyed the Dolphins 38-6...in all of that....the Dolphins are in the playoffs! And the Steelers actually won the right game at the right time and because of it the Ravens are OUT!! Smh! Yeah! I'm still pissed!!!

A huge problem in my book.

That was due to the lack of "playmakers" in the pass rush...which was none existent. Keep it real brah!

That's possible Red however, we both know that the Ravens have this annoying habit of letting good players walk. I like Stanley, Young and Dixon as well. West is impressive but imo Dixon is the "main" horse we should hitch our wagon to in the run game. Dixon and Juice? Oh my goodness! That's pure hell in the backfield! One of the things that really pissed me off about the Ravens going down the stretch is their inability to produce a solid and consistent pass rush in multiple games now and it all came to a head last night. Suggs and Doom are done in my book...done! Got to find the younger, faster, stronger and hungrier lions for the pass rush.

I've said this all season and will say it again OU...."This Ravens team is not as good as we think they are or as we'd like for them to be!" Their performance last night is proof positive of that. Seems like Clifton Brown agrees with me... In the end, watching the Steelers’ dangerous targets reminded several media members that the Ravens simply don’t have the playmakers to keep up. And, the search for said playmakers will continue this offseason. “The Ravens wish they had that array of playmakers, but they don’t,” wrote CSNMidAtlantic.com’s Clifton Brown. “And unless the Ravens find a way to become a more explosive team offensively, the Steelers could continue to be the team to beat in the AFC North for the next several years. I expect to see some major roster changes.

The way that this team has demonstrated nearly all season that they can't seem to score TD's in the redzone...especially when they are needed in a game of this magnitude..to even think that Juice shouldn't have scored there is pure foolishness imo. He did the right thing! The defense on the other hand? Well....

No problem!

And that's the reality if things don't change fast.

You've missed the point entirely.

The Ravens pass rush, which didn’t sack Roethlisberger, just couldn’t hit home. ^ Time to part ways with Suggs/Doom.

“I’m gonna live with this. I remember all of these games,” Suggs said. “They wanted it a little bit more than we did this time, and it showed by their play.” ^ And that is what is so mind boggling. You are playing for your playoff lives BUT they wanted it a little bit more than you guys? SMH!!

I don't have to tell my friends anything. They are watching these games just like us Frozen. And as of now, their assessment is right cause the Ravens have missed the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years. I get that you feel a need and want to "defend" Joe Flacco here but that is really not necessary or the point of the post. I already said that this loss wasn't on Joe. My friends statements of Flacco's inability to lead the Ravens to the playoffs was in connection with the departures and absence of both Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and their type of leadership that they provided for the Ravens franchise over the years and not solely about his skill set.
