Findind A Good Balance

[ravensfolife]

The first 5 or so games our offense played lights out, The next 5 games our d has played much better (most games). We havent had a game of great offense and defense yet. I think for the last 6 games we find a balance and played good or great on both sides of the ball. 9-7 may get us in the playoffs, but the offense has to start playing with some urgency in the first half of games.

I think the offense has become very predictable over the last 3-4 weeks.
After watching the Colts game it was run,run,pass every time we got the ball or first down. Also I'm not sure exactly of the number but it seemed to me 90% of the offense this past Sunday was to the right side of the field. Running and passing. Seemed very predictable to me.

Yea very stale here lately, but it seems once were down in the second half we open the game up. We wait for teams to make the first move.

There would have to be some MAJOR slip ups for 9-7 to make the playoffs!

9-7 wont get you into the playoffs.

Look at the records... It doesnt take 11 wins like last year. Go look at the nfc 9-7 teams make the playoffs every year, hell the chargers were 8-8.

Chargers won the division with a 8-8 record because of the Broncos failure to win one game in 3 tries.

Dude it was an example but 9-7 is possible, unlikely but possible. The whole argument is 9-7 teams in the playoffs and all im saying is 9-7 teams make the playoffs every year. I think the cards were 9-7 last year, eagles 8-8-1, both played in the nfc championship game

lol, great catch..but the points still the same theres not a magic number. 10 wins last year wouldnt even have gave us hope for the playoffs, but this year theres about five teams within a win of each other and everyones not gonna get to ten. With that said I'd rather not leave doubt and win out.

There is your battle cry for the remainder of the year. "Leave no doubt, just win out!"

[/quote]no way, i dont think 10-6 gets you in either. If it does its gonna take a good division record...Meaningm sweep the squealers or bust for us.

great idea

[cursona pirate]

i would rather lose in the playoffs than not make it at all.
If we dont make it I will cheer for MATT STOVER!
I miss you matt

the Ravens are extremely PREDICTABLE offensively. if it is a pass...it is going to Clayton occasionally and mostly to Mason on either an out or comeback route on the sidlelines! where is Heap, L.J. Smith, Washington and Williams? these cats rarely touch the ball...if that! Ray Rice breaks out these fantastic runs..then in short yardage.....here comes McGahee or McClain....PREDICTABLE! we got to do better!
