Baddddddddd Football Team That defense is beyond bad. It is atrocious. The only thing I liked about this game was on the one series where Joe actually spread the ball around. I think he hit 3-4 different WRs during the drive. It shocked the bejesus out of me. 'bout time! Also, what YOUs got to say about Aiken NOW. Told YOUs the other WRs are not a sorry group. We don't have homerun hitters, but we got guys who can ball. Joe just needs to get them the ball!

You haven't seen my posts on Joe Cool.

Crockett Gillmore top offensive weapon. Who writes this stuff?

Everyone in the Ravens organization needs to get down on their knees and ask for forgiveness. Luck this bad has got to be divine intervention

What about Denver and Oakland? Who was injured then? Suggs in Denver right. Does not explain why we loss to a noodle arm Peyton Manning. C'mon man.

Some body on this team spit in the collection plate or stole the orphan's fund. This is just crazy.

We haven't been in the top half of the 1st round of the draft in quite some time. I don't think we get there this year either. I think we are a 7-9 team. Our defense will not win us any games, but our offense will, if we stick to running the football. Bottomline is we've got to keep the other team off the field. I know Forsett is injured. I'm hoping it's not a lingering injury.

It ain't over, but it's over...you know what I'm saying?

Joe needs to be comfortable throwing to all his WRs, which clearly he is not.

The $120 million question is what happens if Joe refuses to restructure?

Brandon Williams.

I said it before this team will be lucky to be 7-9. The secondary play alone makes this a fact.

Aiken looked pretty good today when the ball came his way early. He disappeared because we were killing it in the running game. You see Kamar can get open. He just needs Joe to throw him the ball and to stop zeroing in on one WRs. Joe's been doing that his whole career.

I've been pointing out these to things for some time now. First, our WRs can and do get open. Joe just doesn't hit them. Second, Joe is poor at going through his progressions. He always has been. I've got Game Pass and see the coach's tape all the time. These guys can get separation and they often do. Joe looks less like an elite QB as we've slowly lost our stalwart defensive players.

Our running problems of late have rested mainly with the offensive line. Tape don't lie. Hurst and Wagner played horrible in the first 3 games-from triping over their on feet to completely missing blocks and falling on their faces.

The reason we can't find WRs is obvious and has been obvious for some time.

@RavensFootballFan When you are paid $20/yr to do your job there is no aspect of it that should even equate to being "impossible."

Your point is well taken and everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't mean the mistake was unavoidable. Yeah it's a quick throw, but there is still plenty of time to see what was going on. Lost in all this is Joe was't under duress and the play had time to develop further before the ball was thrown. I highly doubt when reviewing the tape the coaches are going to say it was an unavoidable interception.

Luck on the CBs part, but not bad luck on Joe's part. My point continues to be that Joe and the "other" WRs need to develop a rapport. If there was one Joe could have considered for a moment in pre-snap based on where the ball was to go and the Steelers playing single high safety the idea of throwing it to Marlon who had the deeper route.

A gutsy play!? It was an obvious but lucky guess at best that Cockerel made. Get out of town not so smart guy.

There is no way in the world cockerel could have know that Joe was throwing to SSS and not Brown who was behind him. Wilcox's point is that from Joe's vantage point he could see what was happening and if he had not predetermined the ball was going to SSS no matter what he would have seen Brown being open. Cockerel had his back to Brown from the moment the ball was snapped and he was releasing Brown to the outside. AND GET this. The Steelers where in single high safety with the safety playing the middle of the field! Joe should have seen that and should have recognized what was unfolding. He didn't it is as simple as that. Watch the tape again and this time look at everything. That is always helpful.

Ok, I just rewatched the reply of that play on NFL Game Pass. A few things for you: 1) The play call was to Joe's right. He didn't throw the ball, most likely, because no WR on that side was pass the sticks or looked as if, had he thrown it, they would make it to the sticks. That took about 2-3 seconds. 2) While Joe is stares down the right side of the field, again where the ball is supposed to go, Akin, NOT WALLER, was wide open form the second the ball was hiked. When Joe's gaze finally went back left Akin was still open. In fact Akin's defender was so far off him that Joe could have made the throw. Akin could have come back to Joe since he was 7 yds pass the sticks and caught a ball running back towards the line of scrimmage. My point isn't that Joe should have made any throw. My point was and remains that OUR WRs DO GET OPEN AND IF JOE AND THE WRs HAD A BETTER RAPPORT fans would not be complaining that our WRs stink. Spend a hundred bucks to get Game Pass.

SOoooooooooooo What is the definition of OPEN? Any way I'm not going to argue with people LIKE YOU. I'll just say go to this link football genius. Then tell me if Marlon is OPEN or not or was SSS OPEN. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-tnf-storylines/0ap3000000547158/TNF-Storylines-Flacco-s-interception

On Joe's interception Marlon was side open down the left side line. The ball was thrown to the left to SSS in the flats. The reason Brown was open is that his defender released him and went to sit on the SSS route. Sure enough like chickens coming home to roost the ball went to SSS and was consequently intercepted. Why didn't Marlon get the ball? He was in the same area as SSS. Why wasn't he seen? There is a lot going on between the QB and WRs and the play calling and all of that needs to be sorted out. Go to this link. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-tnf-storylines/0ap3000000547158/TNF-Storylines-Flacco-s-interception Is it always Marlon's fault that he only has two "measly" catches?

I keep getting neg'ed for saying our WRs aren't a problem. Let me point out something. Kamar showed up last night. A lot of fans were bad mouthing his ability. In my opinion he showed up because the ball was thrown his way with Smith being out. These guys can get open. Heck with NFL talent it can't be that hard to find a whole in the zone, and with near perfect timing between you and the QB, have a ball thrown your way which you catch. Timing and rapport are problem between Joe and the WRs.
