Nothing - KC's offense only really scored 10 on us, San Diego has a good offense, Cleveland scored 3 and NE is a good offense.

We can't expect to hold every team to 3 points.

[nextgen_RavensFan]

Its very hard to watch us get within one score just to watch them march right down the field to take back the 10 point lead. I believe i have a bleeding ulcer now. It is sad but funny that a game can mess with a person so bad but i hate to see us lose to anyone at all. This is a down the the end game and i am very tense.

[biggkatt01]

What happened was we have the wrong defensive coordinator, He doesn't know what he is doing he is not making the correct defensive calls in the right situations. and yes losing Rex Ryan is that bad he knew what type of defensive we have always run here and he continued the tradition of great defense here, this new guy has no clue and he is no good.

20 points per game is pretty ridiculous.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

carr is the reason we lost

I think the lack of stops is the problem. And, it would look much worse if the offense wasn't keeping the other team off the field as much.

[FerrariFan87]

Our D stepped up and gave us an opportunity to win when it mattered... Clayton's lack of focus cost us a shot at the victory.

[funky141]

You guys going to finaly realize the D is not as good as the past?
Offense has stepped up.
defense has step down.

[nextgen_RavensFan]

I am stunned that clayton has dropped the 2 most important balls of th eyear so far. Dunno if he was just thinking aggressive and took his eyes of the ball but damn we could of had 1st and goal with 1 time out left. What a sad loss.

Nope we lost because our Defense allowed too many points and our Offense didn't score enough. There are some teams who match up better than us Colts, Chargers, and Patriots.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

no, i mean on a technical standpoint, we couldve headed into OT if he didnt fumble the ball.

[darklight1216]

Here's a crazy thought: didn't Rex Ryan lose to the Patriots when he was a DC?

Yeah, nothing has happened, we're only letting every half-decent offense run up and down the field against us at will.

he didn't lose with the Jets...

only with us, 2 years ago when Clayton couldn't score the touchdown from 3 yards out.

[tryork5ifp]

two words: Greg Mattison

[ravensfolife]

Either get mattison out or change playcalling... This is not my ravens, the pats ran and passed on us we send four and still cant cover why no blitz 8 for the same result... I think offense has talent but i wanna rely on tha defense more than clayton

[NC Ravens Fan]

the only thing im seeing is that we are missing tackles alot
early in the game i saw ray go for a strip instead of a sure tackle which allowed the runner to get an extra 3-5 yards down by our goalline
missing tackles is not "playing like a raven" but how can mattison be the cause of our guys not being sure tacklers like usual?

[raven46]

The Patriots barely put 27 points on our D, without those 2 15 yard 3rd down penalties we should have easily had a better chance to win. Its not that bad, your acting like the browns put up 30 on us.

[macbrak]

+1 raven46, We were a couple of stupid penalties and a missed catch from a 'W'

hes acting like the browns put up "20" on us.

[STL Raven]

Hate to say it, dude, but that's just crazy.

Mattison isn't the problem.

Denial is not a river. I dont know if its the playcalling or the scheme as a whole but something is not working. Acting like there isnt a problem isnt going to help us.

I didn't say i thought we were fine in the secondary, but geeez we are playing an elite team.

[NC Ravens Fan]

less scheme and how bout just tackling better?
so many broken tackles in the games this year it looks like different people in our uniforms

[macbrak]

+1 The play were BA went out he was dragged 5 yards.

huh? I must have missed something. Since when is giving up 27 points a good thing? Absurd.

Saying we played an elite team is nothing but an excuse and excuses dont win games.

You want to be the best you have to beat the best. Clearly its hard to do that when our defense plays like they did today.

By "barely" i mean they needed a lot of help from us to get those 27 points.

[AwakenTheDemon]

I agree, Mattison is not the problem. But the defense is struggling at times. Whether it be missed tackles or confusion in the secondary leading to blown coverage. These things need to be addressed, and addressed soon. I do have faith in Harbs and Ray to try to straighten this out before it gets out of control.
