Ravens Have No Heart! No Championship Mentality

[bmore187]

absolutely sickening to watch. R U KIDDING ME? U dont even try for the fg? Ed Dickson rolling around on the ground instead of getting up and running 1 more yard for the first down when he wasnt touched? Cant recognize when Troy is up on the line that he is blitzing? Cant sack Big Ben with his one good foot? Billy Cindiff looking like he was about to cry if he was called upon for the kick ( cmon man) . Ravens dont have the " It factor "

[theFRANCHISE]

That's your prerogative and your opinion. That's fine.

See you in a few weeks when there's a playoff bid.

[justifythegame]

u try making those plays in that situation. its not as easy as it looks. 1 play ruined the whole game for us, Oher not picking up Polumalu

[MagicianCamille]

I wish I had a reason to tell you you're wrong but considering how any time it's a big game, any time a win would make a huge impact, the Ravens find a way to blow it late, I can't.

[EternalBossGang]

man i feel him on that.....baltimore be bsing...how u give up a lead and let these suckers win the game

Overreaction fail.

[SteelerEmpire]

It was'nt really that much good defensive play in this game but "terrible" offensive play...

And when I say that I mean from BOTH sides... you'd think these guys have not been playing

football all their lives...??

[SteelersProphet]

i thought you guys played great......you guys made our offense look bad

it was a classic hard nosed matchup

it was anyones game

our teams are very evenly matched......its why we almost always split

but you shouldnt swear off your team.....their real good

[Jay D83]

Yeah. I think I'm done for the rest of the season too. Maybe I take the Ravens too seriously, but I'd love to see some HEART, some FIGHT, and my heart can't take the pressure anymore. I'll see Baltimore in September.

Understandable. Just don't be surprised if everyone attacks you left-and-right and you come to regret what you posted in the heat of the moment.

Is it some kind of sick irony by the football Gods with that Old Spice Ray Lewis commercial??

Imagine all the work we Mods have to do tonight just to keep the Steelers trolls away (and there've been quite a few), not to mention keep our own fans in check...ugh.

Im with you on this. I love this team but its being horribly mismanaged

[Jamal]

Well we all saw that the Steelers have heart and we didn't. At least not tonight.....

So there really isn't a point to make a whole thread about it.

[flynismo]

Where do you people get off saying this team has no heart?? The vibe on the field was absolutely intense most of the game, especially from our defense. Our D played their freaking hearts out tonight. And in case you didn't notice, there were several scuffles out on the field, not to mention some serious hits. I do not question this team's heart.

Agreed.

People just love to overreact, your crying thread should be getting a workout in the coming days.

[canfan]

Ok guys it sucked losing tonight and we looked bad especially the Steelers winning with a an injured Ben when it should have been our game. It is what it is and I dont take my losses lightly especially to the Steelers. Lets dust off and look ahead. Do the Ravens have heart? Yes they do, do the rest of us is the question... This game is over, lets look to the next...

Suggs, great job tonight!

Whoever made that call not to kick a FG.... I'm out of words

I actually have to agree. I'm wary of letting my emotion get the best of me after a loss, but every point that you made is valid. Defense looked great but couldn't stop them on just one crucial play. I don't know how many people it takes to tackle one player. I also agree with your point that we can't put teams away. It's the play calling. It's always been the play calling. If Flacco were allowed to have this offense, I really think we could actually be elite. Look at every game we've lost this season besides the Bengals game. We have a lead, and we epically fail on offense to have the other team win.

I think every fan needs to ask themselves the same question: Are we really a SB team with our play calling and the way we blow it with a good lead by being too conservative?

Probably not but to say you're done rooting for the team this year is just sad. Why root for them in the first place then?

I didn't write that. I love this team, but it's frustrating. When I said I agreed with him, I left out the fact that it's rediculous to stop rooting for them. My bad. Of course I'm still hoping for the best.

I kind of can't respect the stance of giving up on your 8-4 team just because of the issues the Ravens have been having. Especially when teams like the Browns, Bills, Lions, and Rams have fans who stick with them through thick, thin, and multiple [b]losing[/b] seasons.

I never said you did write that. I was referring to the OP's stance and some posters that have shared that same sentiment.
