Still Tied For First In The Division!

That's the good news. And the Ravens have what SHOULD be an "easy" week next week to fix whatever they need to fix(pretty much everything), and build some confidence going into Week 4 against the Jets on Sunday Night Football.

The bad news... today left a huge blueprint for how to expose this defense and what to do against Flacco and the Ravens receivers. Quick, short passes. Would have been nice to keep our weaknesses hidden for longer than 1 week, but it's out in the open now.

Nothing is "easy" I hope the coaches are prepared next week because it looked like they weren't today!!

Didn't look like the players were prepared, that's for sure.

We should've been 2-0 and in the driver's seat. Oh well. Better to expose our problems against the cover 2 with the Titans than with Cincy.

Especially Flacco.. T___T

[ravensdfan]

We have issues, again.

If Grubbs is out, we are done.
If we have to rely on Foxy for anything, even nickel, we are done.
Now, reports are that Mt. Cody and D. Reed took injuries today.
Evans is clearly limping. T. Smith is not the answer, yet he is still the one they keep activating.
Cam is useless and should have been gone.

I don't want to see another starting CB back there on kick returns. Where is L.Williams? Shoot, throw T. Smith in there for returns. Perhaps he can help there. Put D. Reed in if Evans isn't 100%. Activate Doss. I don't want to see Foxy on the field period. Ever. At least not in a Ravens' uniform.

Strip Cam of any play calling duties. Slap him at half time to wake him up so he's aware we're getting our butts kicked out there and knows he has to change something, anything. Not just do the same old thing that got our butts kicked in the first half.

I wouldn't mind the loss so much if it wasn't just the same old crap from last season.

no need to panic, we still have a lot of season left and this game should be used to teach the offense and defense to not get complacent. i'm confident we will come back next week focused and hopefully healthy

That game last year was a lot worse, in my opinion. We still ended up going 12-4. I still have high hopes for this year, not saying you don't.

[Gordo52]

HEY. Just saying we did look bad this week. But last year we started 1-1 also. I have full confidence we'll bounce back. I feel bad for the Rams though.

[AsianRice]

We were hang over from the last Steelers whooping....

We have to thank the Titans' whooping to wake us up. We need to play like there is no tomorrow from now on....

Flacco was so inaccurate, and he needs to straight things up before the Rams week...

[RavenousBG]

That's the cup half full view. I'll take that.

[Greatness]

That doesn't make me feel any better, but I'm trying. Very angry that we were beaten by an inferior team in every facet of the game. We should have a commanding 2-0 lead. Hope this wakes up the coaching staff at the castle. When you're doing something that works, don't stop it. Flacco was doing decent in the shotgun and we scored. We also need his WR's to help him out a little bit since he avoided a ton of sacks. Just a sloppy game all around. Next week I wanna see this thread called "We're the division leaders"!

That's the problem when we were just going deep ball all the time. We never go no huddle, short slants, come back routes, and quick shot gun. When we did, we stopped using it, even when it's clearly effective.


However, it comes down to players' execution and decision. Joe was clearly off and made alot of bad decisions and throws. He looked like he went back to the future when he made 3 ints against the Bengals last year. Every1 was running deep and noone running back when Joe was scrambling...

Our O-Line did fine protecting Joe, and his sacks came from zone.

PS: I need Joe needs to throw short passes more to get in the rhythm. I remember he missed Lee Evans like a yard deep and wide open Dickson.

[bpytnjr58]

It sure was not pretty...
hope they got it out of their systems.

The game today was supposed to be "an easy game". But the Titans came out and slapped us around. No week in the NFL is ever a easy week, anything can happen.

Yeah and this week was supposed to be easy too. Bradford ain't no push over and last I checked it (prolly) sucks tackling Stephen Jackson.

That was never really much of a secret to begin with. Everyone does it to us.

[bdravens]

Looking back, I should've seen this coming. I heard nothing of Hasselbeck this week. All I heard was questions about whether we could stop CJ. This all played into Tennessee's hand and they made us pay for it. Hopefully this one-sided focus failure of today won't happen again.

[scrock]

I have no doubt about this upcoming game against the Rams...the Ravens are going to go off next week, I was a little worried about this Titans team because they always play us tough..their D is better than ppl give em credit for and now they have a veteran QB with something to prove, and they have size and speed at WR

the Ravens will bounce back..I actually feel good about facing the Jets too...their D doesnt have a great pass rush and we'll be home and the OL plays better when it can hear and get off the ball quickly....I think we head into the bye week 3-1
