Official Vent uh talk about the game vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers !

[Moderator 2]

Torrey got the scoring TD/catching the ball. Off his back.

Be kind to each other people!

[The Raven]

I'm still trying to reconcile the fact that Hurst and Urschel didn't lose us the game.......... 

 

Where are the negative nancies that thought we'd lose because of them?

[PoeDinkum]

I'll start...those fans who WILL still find a way to complain that the sky is falling.

Hats off to the team for a dominant win!

[Moderator 3]

I guess we could whine about Tyrod's fumble.

Right on man

I was concerned but that was when they said Gino was starting but I said I still thought we'd win. Was just concerned about Flacco having to run around a lot.

 

They did great. I'm impressed.

[Purple Punishment]

Nothing to vent about here. I'll try. Umm why didn't we go for the throat and put up over 100pts? Why didn't we get Flacco to go for the TD in a game record?

[The Raven]

This win tells us a lot about certain fans. People complaining incessantly about anything in this game are just sad. Enjoy the win. Life ain't so bad.

[arnie_uk]

Wonder what caused the last minute change to urschel? Great move.

[Purple Punishment]

Why did we put Tyrod in? Yep that's all I have lol

[Ravensfan23]

3 out of the 4 wins have been in dominant fashion and both loses have come with a chance to win it at the end. I really like where the team is knowing they are still getting better and struggling with injury.

[rmw10]

I loved that we got all the WRs involved today, except Jacoby really.  He's still really struggling although he finally had a nice return.

 

Daryl Smith looked incredibly slow in coverage at times.  The secondary is still questionable as well.  Those are my only "vents" about the game.  You can't find too much negative in a blowout like this, and I'm really happy to see the positive far outweigh the negative.

 Its noticing that the first half d we just played was the best d we played all year and that came from pressure pressure pressure. Its what we must do going forward

[The Raven]

Probably wanted to keep our only true backup center on the bench to avoid injury. Not too smart to have both your  centers out there together.

[arnie_uk]

Must be a perfect rating for joe, anyone know?

[The Raven]

Alright, I can sort of agree. We need more pressure. We could use more blitzes. But blitzes don't always work, and when they don't you get burned. And with our secondary, we can't afford for a blitz not to work. Luck caught us in a few of those situations last week.

surely they would have decided that during the week? Maybe gino had a slight knock, or sucked in the warm up?

our secondary sucks regardless lol

Tough to tell. I don't remember hearing that Gino was "officially" getting the start at LG. Who knows? Just glad we finally hit on another offensive linemen.

Then you adjust. You know when your secondary isn't holding up and you dial back on the blitzes some. You don't begin playing give up football though by playing soft D.

 

It isn't going to work 100% of the time but 9 times out of 10 the payoff is bigger than the fail.

all the best guys said he was about an hour before ko on twitter. Unless someone just got it wrong then they all relayed the incorrect message.

He played well anyway. Id not rush ko back. Atls line isn't great

[The Raven]

Fair enough. I'd advocate for a more aggressive philosophy upfront. I'd like to see less gap control/contain and more penetration.

When it amounts to long, clock eating drives, sure you do.

now were in agreement.

Brandon williams was an animal today. A guy his size shouldn't be sacking qbs

I would bet it was speculation

The Ravens announced him with the starters when the inactives were released, but Urschel got all the 1st team warmups before the game.  Take that for whatever it's worth to you.

[ludy51]

wish flacco wouldve gotten the record. he deserved it.

[ravensdfan]

No I'm talking out of the gate for games. At the start, like we do, and give up those long clock eating drives over and over and over to the opposing team.

[BmoreBird22]

I'm with you here. I've said it several times before, but with Suggs, Ngata, McPhee, and Doom as your nickel defensive line, you shouldn't need to blitz. Just let those guys do their thing.

[arnie_uk]

I would bet it was speculation

maybe, regardless great call by harbs.
