[News] Game Recap - Divisional - Ravens at Steelers

[RavenFan01]

Great Game Ravens. Another Excellent Game losing to the Steelers. Embarrassing. Flacco will never be elite, he define's mediocre if he's lucky. Disappointing season, 0-7 against Rapeburger in the past 3 years, and we lost to Cincy. What is it going to take? Again lost to Pitt, NE, and Cincy in the regular season. Now I don't have to waste my time next season for another predictable finish. This team will never be elite, just good enough to beat the bad team ands great enough to lose to the good ones.

Why do the ravens always wait until the last 5 min of the 4th quarter to make risky plays? We need to throw the ball more in the 1st and 2nd quarter to get a substantial lead, even if some of the plays are risky. That is what other good football teams do. It seems that there is still a bit of miscommunication between flacco and the recievers, which is no help as well. Offense play calling has been less than desirable this year. Maybe next year we will see a better team.

The loss was not the problem. The problem is that we lost the same way we lost the whole season: Blowing up a huge lead.

First off I dont want to jump on any bandwagon cause I think decisions need to be made not in the heat of the moment but once there has been time for reflection. However, I think that it should be time for a change in both co - ordinators. Our team is too good...& has too much talent for things like that to happen tonight? We have brought in all these offensive players last off season - and it was tonight's game where i thought that we would really see the difference! But in reality there was none - Housh made a couple of catches, Boldin was a non factor, Stallworth was invisable, didnt hear Dicksons name mentioned either? I'm just stunned & upset that we made this huge effort to get these players in & when it came to the crunch we didnt use them (and when we did they dropped the f - ing ball! probably cause they forgot what it was like to catch the thing!) This year our offense has been very sluggish & patchy and we need someone new to come in and give our offense a spark! Also what has happened to the O-line this year as well?? Surely not all down to Gaither's loss??

[Ravenseconbeast]

Flacco was a disaster. Any inch of pressure against him, and he turns to Kyle Boller.

It's his 3rd year, and he is out of 'learning'. So is this all he has to give us? Another (slighty better) Kyle Boller?

I Don't care What Happened I love My Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be back next year

If Cameron is OC next year, I will be spending my Sundays in the woods hunting for mushrooms.

This let down is what we all should have seen coming. The only "real" Ravens are Lewis, Reed, Suggs, and Ngata. Kyle Boller could have done what Flacid did tonight, 2 turnovers and a deer in the headlights game. The defense was the only reason we were even close in this game. Take away Lewis, Reed, and Suggs, and we lose by 21. Im sick of watching this joke of an offense lose games and get paid to do it. The only thing that makes me happy is that Flacid doesnt get his bonus check for playing like a d2 qb, while Ray Ray and the d play their hearts out!

I hate to say it, but all year long, its been our offensive scheme the 2nd half. Not just tonight, but the play calls were so predictable which always put our QB in 3rd and long. Also, Flacco needs to start to look at all his receivers. Its apparent when he feels under pressure or stressed, he focuses on 1 and then right away his dump off. Cam Cam needs to go. All year long we have struggled in the red zone and our play calling the 2nd half is horrible.

3 key to beating Pittsburgh...1 Big Ben gets incarcerated
2 Troy Polamalu's car wont start before the game
3 Steelers uniforms are lost and unaccounted for.

Secondly, as much as it pains me I dont think we can blame the refs for this loss! This defeat is squarely on the players & coaches. Yes, the call on Webb runback was questionable, however I could see why the ref gave it..the Steeler player sold the hold pretty well...calls go for & against you & i think the steelers would argue that we got a few questionable calls too? Even after that call we got the ball on their 29 and we still couldnt punch it in!!

[bmorerave704]

I'm trying to bail Joe Flacco with his performance but we need to bring in some young and fast receivers in for next year... he dont need to bring housh or stallworth back... our receivers get no separation in man coverage... we have 3 POSSESSION RECIEVERS... Boldin is not a true number #1 without somebody on the opposite side with some speed to clear safeties out... even in the Kansas City Game it showed that we dot have the speed and youth to get consistent separation... IN both games during the playoffs it seems like he is back in the pocket waiting forever for a wide out to get open... we have one more year with MASON, RAY and ED... its all or nothing next year... Biscotti needs to pull out all the stops and that includes firing coached and letting people walk

*smh*
i am only really upset about 1 thing and this is TJ. TJ how are you gonna complain and say you dont get enough play time and enough catchs and tell the ravens you are one of the best receivers in the league but you drop a ball right on your CHEST. a kid with one arm could have caught that. a receiver is always taught to catch with the hands. Boldin also had a drop but it was a little low and as said if it was thrown on first or second down we could have scored. how you gonna have 8 players in coverage and still have a WR wide open??? our D is old c'mon son if yall were smart you would scoop up that CB from oakland he. shout out to the D tho cuz they held their own. Ray rice you still a youngin dont let this one fumble crush you. And i think a new O.C would be best for the team right now. Oh and Joe how you gonna get out of the most impossible sacks but you can get caught by the easiest once that are all up in your grill?? C'MON BMORE

[raven410]

First of all... anyone who thinks that this game was loss because of play calling is a moron. It doesn't matter what play is called PLAYERS HAVE TO MAKE PLAYS AND NOT TURN THE BALL OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ravens12thman]

YOU DO REALIZE THE OFFENSE SCORED THE POINTS BMOREBEAST RIGHT? THE GAME WAS STOLEN from us in every aspect i can name 15 penalties that should have been called and 3 that shouldent have for on the ravens that cost us the game i dont care about the turnovers webbs TD counts if we werent playing pittsburgh and the orginized crime that comes with there owner and there city !!

[defense=superbowl]

josh mcdaniels. he turned cassel and orton into prolific passers think what he can do w/ flacco!

[MeAFan]

3rd quarter and the whole 2nd half sucked, no argument there however the amount of penalties that should of being called and were blatantly overlooked were ridiculous. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a bunch of NASTY players, people in general. I saw a player commit a uncalled fowl play and as he returned to the sidelines their COACH was rewarding his behavior. I understand how it goes in football but come on. The play that HURT me the most was the WEBB return and the HOLDING call. I am not sure if you guys saw the same game that I saw but no matter what we did, we were NOT leaving Pittsburg with a win. I am thinking the officials were black and yellow fans.

I felt your frustration Haurbaugh, Ray Rice keep your head up.

[raven410]

What about Anquan Boldin dropping a TD pass that hit him right between the numbers? and honestly....besides the Browns game...what has he really done? We need a solid OT and Sidney Rice

[HardKnocks]

Should have put Bulger in, going to learn that lesson when we don't have a good backup QB.

[oregonraven]

I love my Ravens I spend a ton of money to watch every game out here My house is a tribute to Baltimore football past and present HOWEVER the entire season has been another bust. Seriously The entire coaching staff a joke With the offensive weapons we have....

[raven410]

What would Bulger had done?
