I think this win gives the Ravens as much confidence as a blowout would. It was definitely ugly to start, but the O was stellar to end it. Absolutely fantastic second half to send us into Pittsburgh! I'm hoping we see a lot of spread and no huddle next week. Your thoughts?

All i got to say is, Thank God for our Defense. And i hope Cam got the Message with no Huddle and the Shotgun buying us time, it bought us atleast .75 second.

Completely agree. The second half would have been a near flawless performance if the refs hadn't given the Cards some very favorable calls.

Some of my individual thoughts:

- Flacco is MUCH better in no huddle when he can call his own plays and run things at his own pace. Cam won't be fired this week but I do feel that this performance was proof that he hurts us on offense.

- Getting Dickson and Pitta involved often works very well and we should definitely look to do it from here on. Especially when our WR contribution is often lacking (Boldin was a monster today though)

- Oher was good today. The O-line struggled early but that was mostly Gurode and McKinnie. I don't recall Oher being beat once and I'm pretty certain he didn't commit a penalty. Well done Mike!

- Flacco took a hell of a lot of heat early on but deserves less criticism after the second half. He led the offense down the field, doing it in a way he felt comfortable - no huddle. We should adapt our offense and do this more often because[b] it works[/b]!

- Flacco doesn't show emotion does he? Anyone catch his roar of delight about the win at the end?

Lol, I said something to my dad when I saw that

I'll get more confidence when I know Cameron's control of the offense has been greatly reduced.

It was putrid when he had his choke-hold on it, when Flacco was left to run a no-huddle, shotgun offense he worked the Cards up and down the field.

If we can carry this momentum into next week then I'm feeling alot better about our chances.

This is the first comeback win of the year. We needed this win for our young team.

A good offensive performance like this in the form of a comeback should be a major confidence booster going into the showdown in Pittsburgh. As long as we run plenty of no huddle and shotgun, we should have an excellent game offensively next week.
