Then you weren't watching the game. Joe was fine. Far from perfect but was fine. Penalties killed at least three drives. The officials screwed us and injuries finished us off.

Nope, that was a bad call. Bad refs.

The call of personal foul was not a foul. Never should have come close to being called. Refs hosed us.

Nope they should have switched to that the entire second half. They started it too late.

Yep. ESPN eviscerated that crew calling them biased against Dallas so I think they were trying to make up for it. However that's no excuse we should have played better.

Tony is a well known Flacco hater. I don't put much in what he has to say especially after he admits quitting on the team and going to games.

Let's be the other guys and have people saying after the game about us - "Who are those guys? They're really starting to p--- me off." I love the Butch and Sundance metaphor.

This nails it. Get Ray to say something stupid, then hype it up and comment on it = Ratings! Same as steal underpants - - = Money! (South Park Underpant gnomes ep).

Then IMHO you are a victim of media propaganda.

And Ray Lewis getting hurt almost cost Joe his ring. Ray was disingenuous not to mention that Joe, super bowl MVP Joe with the exact same demeanor, was the reason he got his second ring. We won that super bowl because of Joe's amazingness and despite the ineffectiveness of an injured Ray. I love Ray, but he is letting the Ravens down here attacking an injured Joe with a 2nd and 3rd string line who can't protect him.

Remeber the rules of a knife fight?

Eagles. And the Cowboys struggled against them especially Dak. Dak and Elliot look great because of that amazing O-line. When the Eagles took it away they struggled. We will take away the run. The rest will be where the game will play out.

I love Waller. He came right back after the TD and downed a ball at the 1 yard line. His ST play is excellent. He did have a miscue in the Steelers game grabbing Brown when he had signaled fair catch, but he didn't see it in a mistake of youth.

It's the O-line RaRa. It wasn't good to start with (including the complete insanity of starting two rookies on the left side) and when any link breaks now, it all falls apart. It was/is this line that is supposed to protect the quarterback coming back early from a devastating injury that takes a year of playing to fully recover from. Plus Joe, IMHO, is in a lot of pain, either from the previous injury or a new one from earlier this year. Haven't you ever heard the saying "Smile when you are in pain!"? It helps mask the pain and conceal it from your enemies.

Great question. I think he is eligible after the week 10 games, then the Ravens have a short period of time to make a roster decision. Can anyone else provide a better response?

As usual, Sami nails it. I keep joking that they have to throw him only tough to catch balls because he drops all the gift wrapped tosses and buddy passes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this. If you don't see it, if you go back and watch his tape, it's almost tragically funny in what you will see. If it seems like a pass that you could have caught, then he drops it. If it seems like a pass no one at all could even get a glove on the he snags it like magic. Very disconcerting, like mecanum wheels.

Honestly I think since it was called a catch, it had to stay that way. It hit the ground a little but it was completely in his arms and grasp at the same time. You're right the Oline needs to stay healthy. But imo, it's ALL on Joe now. He has played AWFUL and scared this entire year except for 3 out of the last 4 halfs. Esp. with 10 days off, it loks like the oline is getting healthy, we changed Cord. whih he basically begged for, 2 awesome backs, and weapons galore in the passing game. He's starting to pick it up but he has looked worse than I've seen him in years so far this year. If it's cuz his knee then he shouldn't have come back so soon. No excuses. We would've strted 7-0 no question with averae or OK qb play. That's in the past though. From here on out is what matters. If Joe plays well, I honestly don't think anybody can beat us with the D we have. I think we have better weapons on O than we've ever had. Just my opinion. As John said, it's time to play December ball and start kickin butt beat and beating teams up Lame. Joe did just fine, he gave good QB play. If the defense didn't blow 2 games or if the WR didn't drop buddy pass touchdowns in 3 games, or .... We are where we are and it is not on Joe, it's everyone. Can't you just be happy for BP? He got that monkey off his back. I expect bigger and bigger things for him with each week now.

Yes because of the rules regarding replay and determination of a catch. If it was called incomplete on the field it would have also been ruled incomplete by replay. It is currently very difficult to overturn the field call on catches/non-catches by replay with the rules put in place this past off season.

Kyle along can't even get out of his stance up in Minnesota. It was fortunate that we didn't sign him. I really think it is the O line coaching that is screwing up the offense. Every season that Castillo has been in charge we have faired poorly and the line has looked terrible. Alex Lewis is a diamond from the rough, so is Judson, so is Pierce, so was Tucker, Will Lutz looks like a nice Tucker copy with almost but not quite as strong a leg, so I think you are off base in this department. Can't you enjoy the win and see if they can build off this? Last year the defense improved in the second half of the season so if they can continue to do that again this year, look out.

"A ref warning Flacco for too much celebration? That has to be a first." OK, it took a lot, but now I'm convinced, these truly are end times ...

I didn't know what was going on when I saw it live. I missed the ST unit do it, but that was awesome. I hope more teams do it all at once because that looked amazing with so many guys doing it all at the same time. Even the ref looked like was frozen for a second and the Browns returner was confused for a second.

Just want to say how much I love watching Darren Waller again. He is something special.

PD96 I thought you would be ecstatic today since when they turned Joe loose last night in the no huddle he played really well. You have been screaming for this all season, and I have to admit that you appear to be right. Turn Joe loose in the no huddle and let him sling it where he calls the shots. Hat tip to PD96!

1. Seems like when they let Joe call the shots (no huddle) Joe did really well. To me this seems like he has a better feel of the game flow than the OC. 2. Right on cue as soon as T West gets something going they take him out and either go pass crazy or bring in another back. T West needs to get a feel for the game and be left in. 3. Is Darren Waller something special or what? His first TD and another ball downed in the one yard line on ST. I love his great grandfather, the legendary Fats Waller and I love Darren. I have high hopes for him. 4. Perriman has the monkey off his back. Now we need to make the passes we throw him really difficult to catch because he gets all those and misses the easy ones that hit him right in the hands. Maybe the offense has gotten the monkey off its back too. Let's hope. 5. Eric Weddle! Much as I love Mike Wallace and his insane speed, Weddle has proven he is the best free agent signing this off season. Though I hope they continue compete for that honor. PS 6. Yea for no broken bones in Alex Lewis' leg/ankle/foot ! Because that looked worse than if his ankle turned to powder. Good bet his dance training had something to do with his luck on that. Good luck healing big guy! Also I forgot Suggs, isn't that such a nice thing when you forget Suggs Because, he looks like the QB terrorizing monster we all have come to know and love? Size is back in prime form. So is SSS. On par for 1000 catches in Dallas! In a big show on a big stage, just like him.
