Week 12 - Baltimore Ravens at San Diego Chargers

[marylandmike12]

the commentators sre really getting annoying saying the ravens are bad away. they must have said it 100 times, at least . even though its true.

This is a serious question......do we have any receiver that can get separation. ..I swear I feel like its a curse or something. .. even our speedster Torrey seems to struggle getting separation when not running down the field...boldin is so big he's like a TE out there and always has a defender stuck to his hip..

Flacco, the receivers, the line...they all suck.

All of this can be fixed with halftime adjustments
If the line gives Joe Great protection, then he can throw better passes to the WR, and if Cam calls better plays, were way ahead of them by now

[kassaiscool]

Although I blame Cam as usual, Q was WIDE open down the side lines and Joe threw it out of bounds. Also Pitta was open down the seem and might have scored if Joe didn't overthrow him. Two Huge plays which could have got the offense rolling, but joe missed.

Don't know. But I will say that our offense (and team) in general just looks lifeless out there. There just seems to be zero energy on the field for the Ravens.

West Coast trip after a primetime game, especially a draining one against a division rival.

History shows, it happens almost every time -- and not just to the Ravens.

That's all I would give him or let him walk and start over .

He looks rattled as usual in this away game

So true sadly.

The Irrelevent Halftime Report.
Cam Sucks (as usual)
D looks good
The O-Line cannot protect
Joe looks pissed at his line, you can tell he showed up, but he cannot get any protection. I feel sorry for him
[/quote]

Yeah Joe has made one error ,missing Pitta for a big play . Osemele
,good lord ,he should not be playing tackle

[Purple City Bird Gang]

I really don't get how we just let go on the road. I'm at a loss of words. I thought we "remembered the blowout last year" well we're not playing like it

[JO_75]

We fired our OC in 2006 in the middle of the season, why can't we just do the same and fire Cam Cameron.

Remember, Rivers and Brees became better quarterbacks when Cam was GONE!

Guys,that last draw call was actually smart. Everything else..typical road Ravens offense
[/quote]

Not calling you out Ben, just the sentiment of your post. See, if that draw would have flopped, it would have been a 'bad' call. It didn't, so it was a good call. Why did it work? Because the O Line actually did their job for once. THAT'S been the difference on the road. Cam's playcalling never changes, as people love to say and that includes home and road games. He calls the same crap at home, but for whatever reason our guys actually DO something then. It's not the playcalling, it is what it is and always has been: mediocre, but those mediocre play calls have seen great success at home and almost none on the road. That isn't Cam, that's our guys. I mean Joe is missing guys, guys are dropping balls, the O Line can't get out of its own way......I'm personally booing the players all the way to halftime and hope they can come out with a vengeance in the second half.

I believe Boldin did one or two deep field plays.

Boldin ran one slant which worked well. Haven't seen it since.
[/quote]

lol, its a shame. Teams are doubling torrey on his comebacks, because its so obv. Weddle did the same thing clark did last week against us.

Draw play on 3rd and 15? Smart? LOL
[/quote]
3rd and long is when you SHOULD call a draw play. Spread the defense,make them focus on the run,gain a good chunk of yards.

[Purple City Bird Gang]

Cam really has to go. We have too much talent on that side of the ball to just fizzle every road game

[jdynamite]

Well not sure what to think at half time because this team rarely makes good in game adjustments on offense.

[Militant X 1]

the defense did okay and held them to 10pts the entire half. the Ravens offense? absolutely nothing....again! so far...that is a total of 6 qrtrs without a score from the Ravens offense. SMH!

My understanding of football is rudimentary at best, but I believe we still have a full half left to play.
[/quote]

Hands on your heart: what are you hoping for? Have you seen ANYTHING today that showed any kind of promise? Of course, we fans always hope - but can you remember the last time we won a road game being 10 down after the first half?

Neither can I.

And, don't get me wrong, I'm neither disappointed nor antgry or mad. The guys (the O) are putting up exatly the kind of performance we could expect. Let's hope the D can turn it up a notch - but in all honesty, I can hardly see the promise for one score for us here, let alone two - and we'd need at least two to win.

Why does it take nothing to rattle Joe? How's that a franchise QB? It's hard to understand how he can underachieve so willingly.

[UMDan]

To me today is a big test for the coaches. We have last years film. The ability to look at it and figure out a scheme to outplay this team, who isn't even as good as that team last year. So far, not so good. I'm glad Pees figured out that we're able to sack Rivers because his line is awful, but Cam's playcalling is horrendous and I'm still not sure why Joe is so inaccurate on the road. There's been some separation and the lack of connection has been Flacco's fault for the most part (other than the Boldin drop).

[SecretAgentMan]

I pray that we get something going. The road Woes are on the O-line and Cam

[-Truth-]

And become your mom's favorite player?

[Zeus]

Weeden had better stats against the #1 D today... What's our excuse?

[luvrayrice27]

the offense needs to wake up before the game gets away from them..im only singling out the offense because the d is doing the best they can but the offense is doing absolutely NOTHING

[ravensfan520]

Why not switch qbs... Joe isn't mobile and our o line is getting beat... run some screens and quick crossing routes and get back in this... and for all the Flacco fans... Taylor can at least escape the pocket or maybe cam would be forced to call some roll out plays with taylor. It could work... and it would force cam to adjust his game plan. something he doesn't do very often... just some ideas

[SecretAgentMan]

Watch Joe come back and scare you all, just watch

[marylandmike12]

werent the bucs down by 14 to the chargers and come out with the win lets not giveup yet
