Week 14 - Washington Redskins At Baltimore Ravens

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I dont see it as a losers mentality....
I see it as rather winning than looking stupid by trying to pile on points and losing mentality.

neepo13, that's smart football. you see where "getting greedy" got the cowgirls today

[theFRANCHISE]

Seeing Matt Ryan run it in for a TD against the Saints pisses me off.

Joe Flacco's supposed to be the only 1st-round rookie QB to do that, dammit!

Especially since we get the ball back to start the second half.[/quote]

There is plenty of reason to go for more points, I can think of 7 reasons. If it was the 4th quarter, I could understand but its going into the half. This game is far from over. We need to go for points every chance we get.

[macbrak]

They haven't had any real plays past the 50, they haven't figured us out

[JO_75]

Why is Cam being so dang conservative with the Ravens offense. I know we have a rookie QB but for goodness sake Cam, STOP BEING CONSERVATIVE! He never did that with the Chargers, he was always aggressive in SD but now all of sudden he becomes conservative? Did being in Miami make him forget how to be a OC? I hope Cam opens up the playbook in the second half, other wise this is going to have to be a game won by defense.

Did you watch that game? It was their defense that broke. If anything playing to conservatively while they had the lead is what led to their demise.

[macbrak]

They are taking chances when it warrents it, they are a couple of missed throws from shutting this down.

[theFRANCHISE]

For the record, Jon, you're dominating neepo's team right now, 234-193.

All she has left is Tampa's D and Bart Scott, while you have TB's Antonio Bryant up tomorrow night.

Thats completely beside the point. The poster said that "getting greedy" is what cost the Cowboys today and the complete opposite is true. They became to conservative when they got the lead, instead of going for the knock out blow.

I think a lot of it has to do with the wind, really.

The inability to establish a ground game is really hurting. The fact that the wind is a factor in passing is even worse.

But, it's still possible to wear down the Redskins D with run plays, even if those runs aren't going for much. It'll be redundant, but, it'll work eventually.

[macbrak]

No Romo sucks thats what their problem was, he had multple shots and blew it. Dallas can't play in December.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Tell me about it, I started Romo on my fantasy team and it killed me.

The game was tied at 13 when he threw that pick. They still had two minutes to play. What are you supposed to play for OT in that situation? And that goes back to my orginal point, had they stayed agressive after they went up by 10, Pitt probably isnt able to come back.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Lets get started again!

[macbrak]

any way the sea chickens and cowgirls let us down. Gonna have to do it ourselves.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Lets go come out like we did in the first half!!!

Yeah, don't worry I got killed by starting Romo too. I was very reluctant on starting him, I was going to start Flacco over Romo but I thought Romo would still have a decent day to put up double digit fantasy points.

[theFRANCHISE]

Well...I think we can all agree that Yamon Figurs has almost played himself out a job...

[Ravens52]

Come on figs..

[macbrak]

Come on McGahee

[TheRavenouseD2008]

time to see what we can pull off

[Ravens52]

The OLD Willis would have exploded through that hole

[theFRANCHISE]

There's that burst and body lean that we've been waiting for from McGahee.

[PuRock]

We need to get some points off this drive. At least 3 points. I'm not liking this 14 point game.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I thought Rice had that ....
