Blame Game

[darklight1216]

It's funny that this game came down to a field goal. After the Ravens let go of Stover he and the Colts came back to beat Baltimore; Haushcka and the Seahawks beat them last year too. Washington had signed both Graham Gano and Billy Cundiff so maybe we should blame them.

Let's not forget the blown punt coverage that got them into FG range. And Harbaugh's one area where he is supposed to know X's and O's is Special Teams (in reality, he knows nothing about football strategy). There is plenty of blame to be shared though.

No, but he does have a lot to do with the special team unit, which includes the coverage schemes

You would think the Coaching would have more votes. Pees is the one that had them playing in Cover 2 the whole time and allowed RG3 and Cousins to throw it in the Hot Zone every single time with 4 to 5 RAVENS all near the WRers but too far away (5 to 8 yards) to break up a Catch.


Also the Prevent Defense for the 2 pointer. Honestly , who in their Right mind would call that, especially the way the Secondary was playing the whole time. Should have been man coverage with safeties over the top. We should have been Rushing atleast 5 men every single down. Too many Raven players on the field that weren't doing anything and could have been used as Rushers and why were D lineman playing in Coverage and LBers trying to cover WRers, prue stupidity. We also should have did some CB blitzes.

But the fact of the matter is, our coverage has been great all season, so clearly they have been taught and coached well.
Clearly some one or more than one did not do what they KNEW they were suppose to do.
You dont need a coach to tell you "dont let him return the kick"
The problem on that play was 100% players.

Funny how the Ravens can't even handle QB2s... Seeing as BAL will probably end up having to face either DEN or NE in the AFCWCG, on the road I might add, this playoff campaign is looking like it will be a long shot, at best. Assuming BAL manages to clinch a playoff spot in the first place.
