Can everyone stop crying now?

[Zeus]

Great game

[ellicottraven]

The problem is we can't ever play a full stifling 60 mins of defense... that totally sucks 

[757RavensFan]

Where have these blitzes been.  

Tyrod Taylor time!!

[arnie_uk]

Sorry, no excuse for Jimmy Smith allowing a big pass to the lowly Murphy. No excuse for Mosley to get to his zone late in a simple cover two defense. No excuse. Peewee excuses.

if Jimmy bumped Murphy he wouldn't have had a clean release to get so far open. Works both ways

[Sir Spooky]

Yep the defense chose lay off them for a bit. 

[ludy51]

why did we stop heavy blitzes again?!

[sflegend89]

Jimmy getting picked on

 

He's been playing a massive cushion, if you haven't realized we're winning by 31 points with 4 minutes left lol

[The Raven]

i can't recall a qb hit in the second half

 

We've had a few pressures. He's getting it out faster this half if you haven't noticed.

 

Also, I thought Pees stopped blitzing.......

[ravensdfan]

And THIS is what happens when you send blitzes & rush more than 4 people. Just like the first half. Don't tell me we don't have the talent to do it because we just did it and it was far more successful than Pees usual vanilla garbage.

[GrimCoconut]

Yeah, I'm convinced now that we were just letting them get the yards. That pressure we dialed up confirmed it. Simple prevent defense to allow nickel and dime yards in the middle to avoid going outside the sticks to slow the clock. We don't care about the stats for yards. It's clear.

[arnie_uk]

Oh look at that. Blitz and sack

[JO_75]

Alright, good way to end the game. Doom with a sack to win the game. Let's just run out the final 3 minutes and go back to Baltimore and prepare for Atlanta.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

We need to make up for our lack of talent in coverage with aggressive play calling at the line.

 

We need to pressure QBs and limit the amount of time they have to look for open receivers (there are practically always wide open receivers).

 

Pees evidently cannot see this.  He's called a weak second half by putting almost no pressure on Glennon, and its show in TB's yardage and scoring.

[Orange_Peanut]

I'm sorry but i just don't understand why they continue to run Pierce when both Forsett and LT have been running better all season, Pierce is literally averaging 2.1 per carry, thats as terrible as it gets, forsett is averaging 7.9...

Garbage time.

[PolishRifle]

I wish we would've gone for the record with Joe. Well there's still the Atlanta game.

[The Raven]

Yeah, I'm convinced now that we were just letting them get the yards. That pressure we dialed up confirmed it. Simple prevent defense to allow nickel and dime yards in the middle to avoid going outside the sticks to slow the clock. We don't care about the stats for yards. It's clear.

 

Bingo, doesn't take a genius to figure it out, right? It's a simple, simple concept.

[BmoreBird22]

Sorry, no excuse for Jimmy Smith allowing a big pass to the lowly Murphy. No excuse for Mosley to get to his zone late in a simple cover two defense. No excuse. Peewee excuses.

So the players only remember to cover on a blitz, but forget when they don't? Yeah, those are the excuses people use against Peed

[K-Dog]

Here come 50!!!!!

[reed20]

That's what I've been saying!

 

We stopped caring a long time ago and the Bucs have been scoring in garbage time. Why does everyone automatically assume that we just all of a sudden start sucking? We can obliterate this team whenever we want.

[sflegend89]

Some of you guys don't realize how defensive philosophy changes in a blow out. The corners are playing a deep cushion and the safties are just keeping everything in front of them. The goal is just not to give up a massive play. We'll let them get those 10 yd chunks and run the clock out on themselves, it's totally different when you have that kind of lead with such little time left.

[Cillmatic]

The worst thing is we can't rest our corners because we only have 4 healthy ones.

[RavensFootballFan]

Oh so its ok to quit?

There's always excuses made for pees. At this point, he has proven that he is lazy, incompetent, or both. Making excuses for him wont help us improve. He is cam cameron 2.0.

 

Take a chill pill, Ravens are #3 in NFL at points allowed, the most important stat, Pees is doing a very good job. 

[Florida Ravens Fan]

Just like that Bengals tie lol

[ludy51]

no record for flacco 

[hn68wb4]

Well since Flacco's day is over we can officially say that Flacco has reset the Ravens QBR record that he set against the Panthers...

[arnie_uk]

We've had a few pressures. He's getting it out faster this half if you haven't noticed.

Also, I thought Pees stopped blitzing.......

that one play emphasis why we shouldn't be adapting the bend but don't break philosophy. Pressure wont always get there but sacks forces turnovers and change games and field position. We have to be aggressive going forward. Not soft

[GrimCoconut]

We've had a few pressures. He's getting it out faster this half if you haven't noticed.

Also, I thought Pees stopped blitzing.......

I think the night and day difference between the two halves is clearly an effect of trying to just run out the clock. That's why we stopped blitzing. You blitz, you have a chance to allow a big play. We clearly didn't want do that until we had to do it.

[ravensdfan]

Oh look at that. Blitz and sack

 

our secondary isn't talented enough to blitz.

 

blitzes lead to big plays by the opposing team.

 

yet - we were more successful the first half of this game than we've been all season long. smh

[PolishRifle]

no record for flacco 

 

Yeah, I'm really angry, too.
