Let's Not Bash Joe !

[Tank 92]

Matt Birk, Boldin, housh, HUGE mistakes from experienced money players. Yes, plenty of other blame to go around, but geez, we recovered and hung tough only to have perfectly thrown, possibly game winning passes dropped ! Not sure what to say............

[jimmypowder]

I agree. This game is not on Flacco even adding in the pick.

[ravensheap]

I wish all the Raven bashing would stop.. We have an amazing team... Don't be part time fans... it's not right

It's always very negative after a loss and this was a season-ending loss. Give people a couple of days and the optimism will return.

Yeah mine threshold is usually 30 minutes. After that 30 minutes I come back on here and defend. Some of the coaching is the only thing I find hard to defend still.

[ravensheap]

It's the degree of bashing that bothers me.. I am in pain also from the loss but you have to figure that the guys are hurting big time and feeling awful too. That's all..

[BloodRaven]

Well... at least he beat the Chiefs.

Last time I checked, teams win games.

Ben doesn't beat the Ravens, the Steelers do.

[heapitup247]

Yeah, look at Matt Ryan. Ben wasn't Ben until season 5ish. He won a super bowl because of things around him. I would say Flacco is the best QB with 3 or less years experience in the league.

You are right. I was just trying to defend Flacco, didn't mean to bash the others.

I felt really sad watching Housh hang his head, you know that drop will haunt him.

[McBoller]

yeah, lets bash Matt Ryan...he's not faring any better, a lot worse actually. Tha Packers are my right now, lol.

Last time I checked, the Steelers only win when Ben plays.

Heh I'm right there with ya.

[SidRavens]

We play such amazing football for half the game, then just seem to wear out, and give up.

I'm encouraged by this season though. Hopefully next season we'll be able to play our best for the full 60 minutes.

Okay? What, does his defense not make game-changing plays or his receivers not make clutch catches? The guy is a great player but it's still a team game.

And would have been 4-0 if some qb, kinda hard to remember his name (sarcsm), doesn't throw a laser to a WR in the endzone with no time left on the clock.

Some of us have been with the Ravens since the beginning or darn near the beginning....most of us rant because we're frustrated....we've had our hearts ripped out by this team so many times before.

Give two or three days and things will calm down.

Lol. I thought he should be called "NATTY ICE" for you need a couple beers to stand watching him play.

[Daddyfixit]

This is the 3rd year of Bridesmaid not Bride, but can't blame Joe.
I believe he did a great job.
The dropped passes and penalties were the killers.
That recovered fumble was the greatest.
Hopefully they'll plug the holes for next year.

[Stairway27]

Yeah... someday Flacco will make a good QB. He just needs more time. Thats what all my ravens fan friends say here in B-more. He might grow out of that choking thing he tends to do in the second half of the game.

[BloodRaven]

Amazing teams win Superbowls.

more like 2 or 3 months.

[TSizzle00]

Matt Ryan is about to be 0-2 in the playoffs and he has 2 picks right now. Im sure we will continue to hear how much of a beast he is.

[cursona pirate]

i would have flacco instead of ryan in the playoffs! the falcons always lose in the playoffs

[ravensheap]

I wasn't really talking about this thread.. but some are really awful with the comments. Was I mad and yelling at the tv?? You betcha..

No class even in a victory .....sad
