Week 5 - Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs

[Purple Nurple]

Ugly W. I'll take it.

We need to regroup. We are very lucky to come away with a win. Time to clean up our defense and offense and special teams play!

That first down scramble by Joe on 3rd and 15 was the play of the game, easily.

Few to choose from, sadly, but agreed.

[poedacrow]

60 yards shy of eating a KC jersey...and I'll take the ugly win.

RAVENS!

I'm going to say that we overlooked the Chiefs and used the 10 days rest to prepare for the Cowboys to make myself feel better about this win.

So everything?

You can't call all deep routes when the O-line is struggling. This is another Cam game - call the plays you want, not the plays that make sense.

We held them to 6 points. How did the defense play poorly? Yards don't matter, points do.

Because the Chiefs gave the game away offensively. I'll give our defense full credit for the second half adjustments, especially in the running game, but outside of the Cary Williams deflection, the turnovers weren't a result of outstanding defensive play, but rather because of very poor offensive execution.

I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss Yikes!!!!!

So this is 3 of 5 games are offense has been mediocre. They don't deserve any of the hype

what? have you seen the stats? yardage ... points.... etc....

[ellicottraven]

sad day for me personally. The steelers just won on a field goal.

[Markus92]

Its like we just have bad play calling on both sides of the ball....On defense does it hit Pees that "Hmmmm they are running every play maybe we should put 8 in the box and make cassel beat us..."

And Cam idk when i watch other teams play there offense looks so much more creative...Like routes actually get open not to mention their offensive lines block....

We better get our acts together we have the cowboys and texans up next...

6 points. That's all that matters right now.

This. A million times, this!

You call the odd slant, one screen to Torrey that works to perfection only because of a cheap block-in-the-back call, and that's about it. Cam can be really clueless on game-day when he wants to be.

But our players are just continually inconsistent. Joe is the most inconsistent QB in the league

Have you been watching the games? How are you going to tell me the offense played well in the Eagles Browns or this game? We got completely shut down in the second half of the Eagles game. The last two games the offense has put up 16 & 9 points and continually couldn't sustain drives. Wake up.

We did exactly that.

[Bravens292]

we could've avoided this horrible offensive performance if we actually had some drive starters. instead we chose routes that were 20 yards downfield. this was the worst cam could've called. short routes and rice screens would've crushed this team after what i saw. we got long gains on both those plays yet we chose those plays 1-2 times the whole game. dropped passes hurt but that was a small part of our struggles today

Because we got lucky turnovers....If a team RUNS for 204 your playing poor defense

In relation to the win, of course. But it doesn't erase the concerns moving forward.

[codizzle]

Yup

[Bravens292]

bengals still can't beat good teams. the opposite of ravens.

[Ravensfolyfe]

we win but ugly win!
