Although I do think that they were settling on that 3rd and 11 with Troy in, it MAY have been to set up a trick play later on.

[PuRock]

Tied game. We need to get the momemtum back. First their defense had two stops in a row. Then Anderson gaining some confidence and driving the field. We need to do something to get this back.

I'm shocked we even tried to use the "Suggs Package", the Browns surely would've studied it and came with a way to counter it (Like they have so far). I figured it would be best not to use it in this game. Hopefully they are trying to setup a trick for later.

[Ravnet]

Just as I thought, if a team attacks us through the air, they're really going to make some ground. Our level of pessimism concerning the cornerbacks is kind of comical though, they're still the third best secondary in the league even without three of the starters.

[Ravnet]

They're going to call it off.

Luckily unlike last year we aren't giving up the big passing play as much. But we are letting a lot of catches come through this year.

[Ravnet]

For all the Willis bashing, we can't run on their front four without him and their run defense is pathetic.

[macbrak]

Nice hands Mason.

[Fred Sanford]

That was a sick swim move for Rogers. Guy's quick as a viper for being a big tub o'lard.

[PuRock]

We needed that one so bad! We couldn't go three and out again. Flacco was about to chuck the ball, but saw Mason instead. Good pick up.

This team has always had a problem with sustained drives, that's why we need a cushion entering the fourth quarter when teams go no huddle/exclusively through the air.

[Fred Sanford]

F'in A, nice run by Rice.

[tweety]

Browns have no pass defense just keep hitting their weakness, do some playactions.

[macbrak]

Nice run Rice.
Run Rice run.

[RavenWarrior11]

Nice run Rice!

[Ravnet]

If we don't go up double digits, I'd like to see McGahee used. Putting Willis in would really free up some holes for Rice/Le'Ron.

[PuRock]

We are moving the ball pretty well. But we are freezing up when we get in their zone.

[Bullrush]

Flacco looks like Brady out there.

[macbrak]

I think Joe is figuring out Mason isn't double covered today.

I agree fully. I'd like to see McGahee in as well.

[Ravnet]

Yeah, this used to be the perfect time to use Heap. Third and short in years past would almost exclusively be Todd Heap time.

[Fred Sanford]

Heh, these guys keep commenting "Where is Heap this game"? Did they expect 12 catches? They must not have been paying much attention to the Ravens this year.

I'm completely shocked by Heap's underperformance this year, but it should be expected by this point for him to have little impact each game, unfortunately.

(I meant the announcers, by the way)

[Fred Sanford]

Woohoo, big conversion.

[PuRock]

Let's end this half with a TD!

[RavenWarrior11]

Mason! Red Zone baby!

[PuRock]

Heap time???

[macbrak]

They aren't up on current events.

[Ravnet]

Man, to me that is the test of a true quarterback. If you go into a timeout and call a play where you're only looking to hit one guy quickly, a good quarterback nails the pass. Boller would have trouble.

[Ravnet]

Come on, punch this in, we need it. Ughhhhhhhh, Suggs package.
