Titans Vs. Ravens

[itlstl7]

My thoughts....

Plain and simple... we let the Steelers and Titans have an oppertunity to come back and win because we couldnt score and made costly turnovers.... seriously we give ourselves a lead and can't do anything with it....who do I blame? Flacco....how can you overlook the fact that the kid hasn't stepped up?? We didnt ask Flacco to make wine from water... we gave him a tremendous backfield... and a tremendous Defense....YET the kid can't lead us down the field??? Dont tell me Flacco led TD drives when our backfield has been doing ALL the work! One passing TD drive in the last four games???? seriously you all think we are going to win with 1 passing TD in 4 games!!!???? he won his first two games because all we asked him to do was hand the ball off!!! he didnt even throw for a TD in his first two games!!!! Then pittsburgh...one TD pass... huge fumble for a TD...the VERY NEXT PLAY he fumbles again!!! yet we recover so no one brings this up.... we end up losing by 3 because we couldnt score and had costly turnovers! (FLACCO) ....its not like Pittsburgh ran up a huge score!!! all we needed was a measly FG!!! now against the Titans.... we couldnt win on running the football all day so we asked Flacco to do something....he answers by throwing 2 picks which should have been 3! and oh wait were they not the same exact plays???? rollouts and throw DIRECTLY into the chest of a opposing teams player??? Oh and how many TD's did he have??? 0!!!! Flacco has done sooooo very little with what we have given him...every qb will have bad games yes... but he hasnt had a good game!!! bottom line is that our defense and backfield keeps us in the game and our lack of a qb leaves the opponent in the game at all times.... when do we draw the line???

just my point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is where the ravens lost the game
Baltimore Ravens at 11:38 Q1
1-10-BAL 34 (11:38) 23-W.McGahee right tackle to BAL 33 for -1 yards (55-S.Tulloch, 50-D.Thornton). PENALTY on TEN-93-K.Vanden Bosch, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at BAL 34 - No Play.
1-5-BAL 39 (11:20) 23-W.McGahee right guard to BAL 43 for 4 yards (90-J.Kearse).
2-1-BAL 43 (10:48) 33-L.McClain up the middle to BAL 45 for 2 yards (92-A.Haynesworth).
1-10-BAL 45 (10:09) 23-W.McGahee right tackle to BAL 45 for no gain (20-N.Harper, 55-S.Tulloch).
2-10-BAL 45 (9:28) 5-J.Flacco pass short right to 85-D.Mason to BAL 49 for 4 yards (55-S.Tulloch, 31-C.Finnegan) [93-K.Vanden Bosch].
3-6-BAL 49 (8:45) PENALTY on BAL-60-J.Brown, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at BAL 49 - No Play.

1-10-TEN 41 (8:16) PENALTY on TEN-97-T.Brown, Encroachment, 5 yards, enforced at TEN 41 - No Play.
1-5-TEN 36 (8:16) 23-W.McGahee right guard to TEN 33 for 3 yards (97-T.Brown, 53-K.Bulluck).
2-2-TEN 33 (7:47) 23-W.McGahee left tackle to TEN 30 for 3 yards (53-K.Bulluck). PENALTY on TEN-97-T.Brown, Defensive Holding, 5 yards, enforced at TEN 30.
1-10-TEN 25 (7:25) 33-L.McClain right tackle to TEN 21 for 4 yards (97-T.Brown).
2-6-TEN 21 (7:25) PENALTY on BAL-78-A.Terry, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at TEN 21 - No Play.
2-11-TEN 26 (6:41) 5-J.Flacco pass short left to 89-M.Clayton to TEN 20 for 6 yards (31-C.Finnegan).
3-5-TEN 20 (6:00) (Shotgun) 5-J.Flacco pass incomplete short left to 87-D.Williams.
4-5-TEN 20 (5:56) (Field Goal formation) 3-M.Stover 38 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-70-M.Katula, Holder-4-S.Koch.
TEN 0 BLT 3 Plays: 11 Possession: 5:46

if it wasn't for this penalty we would not have gotten 3 points 3rd and 11 incomplete pass

3-11-BAL 44 (8:20) (Shotgun) 5-J.Flacco pass incomplete short left to 27-R.Rice. PENALTY on TEN-24-C.Hope, Unsportsmanlike Conduct, 15 yards, enforced at BAL 44.

im hopeing the management abd coaching staff is starting to take notice that if something is not done and done within the next 2 weeks our raven season will be over


just my thoughts lets go ravens

I've read most of your posts and I'm right there with you...I dont HATE flacco I just dont think he's nearly as great as everyone is making him out to be... thats it! the personal attacks and other crap that we get from posting this kind of stuff is rediculous... I give Flacco credit when his credit is due but I'm not blind to the obvious faults he's showed so far...

Same here. I follow your posts too cuz I agree with nearly almost every topic you talk about. You're one of the people here I agree with just about 100% of the time.

The problem is people are either too passionate about the Ravens to the point they get defensive on anything remotely sounding like criticism, or they see things irrationally because they are willing to be so right about something even when in all actuality they're wrong.

Say something that people don't want to hear even if it's the truth, they write you off as non-credible.

I don't hate Flacco at all. In fact, I'm excited that he's a Raven. I just question his play and wonder if that's the BEST the Ravens can possibly do. If 1 TD for every 4 picks is the best we're going to get from our qbs this year...we're in trouble.

Biggest problem the Ravens have is the fact they can't keep laundry off the field... Stupid penalties.. When you give nearly 100 yds per game on STUPIDITY thats a huge problem!
