I Don't Get Excited When We Get A Lead Anymore

[Markus92]

for what? we always allow sub-par teams to come back....oh yeah and cam calls the game just not to lose.. well guess what if we don't move the ball we are gonna lose !

[scrock]

its hard to cause Cam goes so predictable and the defense gets tired after the offense goes 3 and out so many times

BUT WE WON

so i'll enjoy today and this next week...2 WEEKS

[Markus92]

yeah ur right but damnnn its so frustrating....

[hawkprey]

Well we haven't exactly played our best when we're losing...

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

That was rough but they showed 2 weeks in a row they CAN hold on

[Moderator 2]

8-0 at home
4-4 on the road

Not too shabby

[PuRock]

It is a frustrating thing. But in the end. We won on the road against a divisional foe. Never an easy thing to do.

Was I frustrated sure? But the end result is usually a W.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Watching our offense when Cam goes into conservative mode and tries to run the clock from the beginning of the second half is downright depressing. He had better not be our OC next year.

[McBoller]

Of course you gotta love getting the lead. Id love if more if we tried to stretch that lead...

[DMH_in_WA]

I don't care how ugly it is, as long as they win. We'll have two weeks to moan and wring our hands and worry about leads.

Take a moment or two, sit back and soak in what this team has accomplished:

#2 Seed in the AFC Playoffs

AFC North Champions

Swept Division

Undefeated at home


That's remarkable!

true!

but today? in spite of Cam's weak, timid and conservative playcalling..again...with a 17-3 lead in the 2nd half...the Ravens WIN!! i am with the O.P. we can't afford to get excited with a lead because Cam will throw ice on our red hot offense to allow our opponents opportunties to win the game! he's got to go!

Here's a better question. Would you prefer to start with the lead only to have it melted away (like us). Or dig yourself into a hole (like the Patriots 0-17, 0-21 the last two weeks) and have to play the comeback role?

[CLAV410]

I take ugly wins over sexy losses ANY DAY.. Yes Cam needs to go he is making things much harder for us.. Hes is the equivulant of putting standard oil in a Ferrari. We need in another OC ( Would love to see Norv Turner ) some one to put some synthetic oil so we can reach our full potential .

Ask my husband I was a mess the entire second half--pacing, biting my nails and cursing like a stevedore lol Thank God the kids are out!!!

[HaX]

i could call the plays before they even happened
1st down ray rice up the middle
2nd down ray rice to the right or left
3rd down screen to a TE, no conversions

happened at least 2 drives o.O

You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I screamed at my TV.

Good point right here

[Mr. GM]

Congratulations on the win, AFC NORTH crown, going 8-0 division...But that means nothing if you only have 1 wr catch the ball the past two weeks! Its the playoffs, score points till the final whistle...Its great that Rice had a stellar day, Pitta did good, but only wr made a catch! Huh? Whats up that. Make a change in the next two weeks or expect to be watching the super bowl from home, Ravens!

It is good but I'd rather have been 5-3 on the road for obvious reasons!

Yeah right those would be losses only the AZ game did we come back after being down signficantly. The Pats show way more heart overcoming 17-0 and 21-0 leads to win and we got blown out like a JV team in SD. Let's not start doing this because we are lacking in that department -- heart.

[K-Dog]

until this team plays a full sixty minuets as opposed to a fragmented on and off forty minuets, Ravens fans will continue to have blood pressure issues.

I get excited when we get a lead. The biggest emotion that I felt today was angry when Lee dropped the ball. (He is a veteran and there is no excuse for his drop.) Remember, our defense did not cave despite our inability to score most of the second half. Cam's conservative play-calling popped Rice off for [b]key [/b]runs in the second half.
