Divisional Playoff - Baltimore Ravens At Pittsburgh Steelers

[Militant X 1]

TJ did all of that mouthing that he wasn't getting opportunities and when he did get the call....what does he do?

DROPS THE BALL!!

and "Q" dropped a TD

the Ravens top brass need to clean house

[D_UP]

Here we are again, can't make plays too win. A total collapse I can't believe we choked. We a wideout that can stretch the field.

Yea like aso is gonna catch the ball for us? Or block Harrison...

Aso won't give up a 60 yard completion on 3rd and 19

[frank cambra]

My question is: where are the slants and drag routes that would've made the pressure lay off and actually gain yards?

[irave89]

Well I hate to be in that locker room right now.

I can rest assured the Patriots will knock the Steelers out next weekend,if they win tomorrow.

I don't care that the Patriots go again,just don't let it be the Steelers.

Can you imagine what would have been if Dez Bryant fell to us

[jstump]

Another year wasted. Glad I didnt waste any money on Ravens garb this year. Most of this team will be to old for another run like they had this year.

Flacco is clearly not the answer at QB, unfortunately.

Alright I'm a lurker,but seriously? Flacco makes the throws but our wr's arn't coming through when they are needed. Gtfo I'm tired of people calling for flaccos head that was all on whosyourmomma and bolden.

YOU know something, all u flacco lovers are ridiculous and dont want to admit to the stupid things he does, like float the ball all game long, all the talk about gunslinging arm, and floating the ball??? common man!!! how bout the slow awareness he has, how many times did we see open recievers downfield, i cant stand flacco lovers cuz they cant admit to the stupidity and just how he chokes when it matters the most, most of all cam cameron is a bum and hes fired tomorrow

SHANNON SHARPE SAID IT ALL, POOR OFFICIATING GAME!!!

I've wondered about this all season, and if we would have actually been better off with Ryan than Flacco.

[Militant X 1]

we need to fire both the OC and DC....TODAY!!

get some younger, hungrier and more aggressive cats in here to call our plays.

We get there guys in to the offseason to make plays on Pitt! and it shows that it was a waste of time. Now the whole world knows we choke everytime were in the playoffs. Embarassed again like every other year since 2000! I tell u what no matter what Housh did or didnt do i never like him. He was a waste of our money! Stallworth was a waste also! I didnt see him once on the field! We use the same weapons every game while Pitt uses all these different recievers no matter the risk. Slow freakin receivers cant do nothing for us man! we need a facelift on the WR corps!

[bmorebaby]

flacco is fine he played a decent game and is still growing...with out the drops he looked good. it was his job to get us back in that game and he did his part. good season ravens. it's off to indi next year. always die hard i am very proud to represent this team. this one hurts really bad and i will take a lot of heat from all the crap i talk but im going to keep on talking. We'll get it next season lets just keep getting better

[BlackSunday]

I don't blame the coaches for this. It all came down to lack of execution.
I have come to the conclusion that Flacco is certainly not an elite qb. (Not putting full blame on him for the loss). However, he made some throws that most definitely should have been caught. (Q in the endzone, and Housh on the final drive). We HAD this game.

Ray Rice's fumble on our early third quarter drive was no one's fault but his. I saw people on the game thread blaming Cam Cameron for that... that's just ridiculous.

On the long 3rd down and 19 Steelers reception that ended up at our five yard line in the fourth quarter, Webb simply got burnt on the play. Plain lack of execution.

Plenty more went wrong, but in all honesty I'm about to vomit. So have a good night, y'all.

Let's see...

Ray Lewis will retire
Ed Reed will retire
Derrick Mason will retire
Kelly Gregg might retire
Matt Birk might retire

Am I missing any? Even with that list alone, man...I'm not excited for next year. I'd rather have the lockout

Refs didnt cost us this game, we choked and didnt deserve to win.
[/quote]

I have to agree with you 110% The refs didn't blow a 2 touchdown lead or cause us to fumble the ball on our own side of the field twice. THAT is what cost us the game. We know that going in turnovers were going to be huge no matter which side had them period.

[jstump]

Yeah they need some coaching changes. The talent was there but the guidence was certianly not.

For sure. I was hoping I'd finally be able to get over the AFCCG loss two years ago, but NOOOOOOO....now that AND this!

lOOK DUDE im not trying to be rude, but im sick of this growing crap, i heard the same with mark clayton, but he did go to st. louis and did well till he tore his ACL, maybe flacco might do better with a different offensive coordinator which i think as well, but if we decide to keep cam cameron, FLACCO AND THIS RECIEVING CORE IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!

btw, ray lewis will retire after this season!!

Not cams fault to me. poor execution.
[/quote]
You're right too but I didn't want to say it. It's almost like the Ravens forgot there was a 2nd half to play. Maybe there was too much celebration in the locker room at half-time to think about the 2nd half.

[gumbleton]

Well done to the Steelers and the Refs

[KEN THE FAN]

If they let Cam Cameron call the plays next year I predict Hardbaugh will lose his job. I have not seen any worse play calling than what we just witnessed in the third and fourth quarter. a minute plus to go. four downs. you will never see brady throwing the hail marys that they had flacco throw. this team will never go any further with cam the cameron. Boy Watching this year the ravens coming out and playing the first half and then dying in the second half is all the offenceive coordinator not being able to adjust to the defenceive changes that were made.send cam back to miami so he can ruin their season again like he did when he was there before. get rid of the problem Hardbaugh while you can.

[arct]

First and foremost, If it weren't for the bad calls, none of the bad plays would have happened. I was in shock at all the bad critical calls. The refs totally changed the direction of the game. Secondly the dropped passes are pathetic. You won't win the superbowl with that kind of effort.

[FabFox3124]

flacco cant handle pressure, forced so many balls, INT, ran around and loss for 12 yards instead of throwing it away, UNDERTHROWS^^^^ RECIEVERS, doesnt have downfield awareness at all, and i dont blame it all on him, but i will say cam cameron has alot to do with this horrible scheme,

face it ravens fans!!!

steelers have better coaching then the ravens and they showed it in the 2nd half with adjustments

i saisd this before the game, the steelers will win due to 2nd half adjustments!!

[Johnny5]

We need youth on D and some faster WRs. Hopefully our draft picks don't get hurt this offseason and hopefully Kindle can come back.

Yupp! There is no point in having them hear. Their not gonna want to play and fight for a playoff spot for another year. We had our chance and we blew it now lets go home and regroup for next year with some young talent!

[irave89]

Well I hate to be in that locker room.

I can rest assured the Patriots will knock off the steelers next weekend,if they win tomorrow.

Before we go saying anyone will retire,let's wait until it comes out of the player's mouth first.

[Militant X 1]

truth of the matter is that the Ravens offense and defense just crumpled in the 2nd half. it was pitiful!
