Ravens just can't make a clutch play

Geez Upshaw! Come on!

Not going well

Melvin!

And back to throwing 5 yds when 12 is needed! SMH!

Oh brother! 3D & long

Come on Joe! 7 on this drive

Whew! Good news for once.

Babin signing a question mark. Inactive again. Also there's reports Perriman came up lame, limping, after running a go route during personal workout prior to the game.

Pees has to have the CBs play press coverage 80/90% of the time. CBs playing back allows too many uncontested yards. Flacco has to become clutch again. Had he not under thrown Crockett in Denver and Aiken and Waller in Oakland or simply hit a wide open SSS in Oakland, the Ravens would be 2-0. Games are determined by 3, 4 plays in clutch situations and Flacco isn't coming through. Yes, 33 points should win a game and keeping Peyton out of the end zone should win a game but sometimes clutch play is required in those situations to ensure victory and we haven't seen it.

Stop relying on Tucker. Every time Tucker makes a FG the offense is leaving 4 points on the field. Finish those drives off with TDs, especially those at the end of the 1st half and at the end of the game. Tucker is most valuable in those game winning FG situations. Defense, get some 3 & outs and stops at the end of the half and end of the game. More 3 & outs during a game would do wonders for the D and O. More press coverage by CBs could help get the 3 & outs.

I know Joe has had game winning drives but to be the best at converting TDs is surprising. Joe's clutch-metrics haven't been good last 3 games unfortunately. A closer look at the parameters used to reach the conclusion makes me wonder if those were the parameters that had to be used to get Joe rating the best. Obviously these parameters exclude game winning FG drives and are specifically 3 minutes, not 2 or 4 minutes. I wonder if Joe is still the leader using any of these parameters. Nonetheless, save for Rodgers, Brady, or Big Ben, I'll take Flacco over anyone else in these situations. Go Ravens!

The Good - Offense The Bad - needed more offense The Ugly - Defense

Yeah I mentioned that.

Was it his play call on 2d down final drive that stopped the clock saving TO and time for Raiders? Was it his formations and playing calling that didn't utilize TEs in 2d half? The losses aren't all his fault but he's playing a big role. I'd say him Flacco too errant too much and nobody behind SSS are the flaws in the team, not to mention a non-clutch defense....well that's basically the whole team so let me throw Harbaugh in there for no good reason.

Is that 3 straight games ended with Flacco interceptions?

I called it. See previous post.

Sack or interception in short order

The stupid pass on 2d down that stopped the clock. Another Flacco bad pass to wide open SSS for TD.

Exactly!

3 man rush!

Stupid TO there.

That's FG range!

We aren't good at 2 minute D. I'd be happy giving up FG for OT.

I'm with ya
