Official vent thread vs Falcons

[Cillmatic]

Flacco threw 2 picks(would be 3 if that corner covering steve on the slant had hands.) can't happen again.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

What a game....this team is on a serious roll....i cant say enough about how well the defense is playing, How we are maintaining the ground game which helps the passing game...buuuuttttt....

I am getting really sick of dropped passes and punts..... I love these guys, they are awesome people, but its like Joe almost has to throw a perfect ball for it to be caught, which pisses me off, because we have Aiken and Campy that catch everything thrown to them.

I really dont think its too much to ask....these guys are making millions of dollars to do 1 thing.....CATCH THE FREAKIN BALL!

And to go a step further, fight for that ball.Go after it like its your kid falling from a 2 story building...lets stop this foolishness right now, or get somebody in there who can.

I feel for JJ but he isn't playing smart football - trying too much on returns. I can see Campanaro on return duties in Cincy. BP again did not manage even 3y rushing. Another TD but it's time to give Taliaferro his carries.

 

Flacco was under quite a bit of pressure, did well considering that ATL has obviously done some homework on our O line  rookies. Hurst and genius blocked run well but were not that great in pass protection.

 

D was phenomenal again. Funny thing is that we even missed few INTs and Ryan escaped few sacks by a hair. It is now obvious that our pass rush got into another gear with the introduction of Brooks at the deep safety and Webb being back at corner. Coverage is very good, QBs can't get rid of the ball quick enough.

 

Jimmy Smith, take a bow. Julio, who?

Just one muffed punt could kill us next week. I'd even be in favour of having Webb come in to field a few (and literally choose between a fair catch or leaving it). Before the last drive of the first half, all you have to do is not make the mistake and let the two-minute offence do its thing.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Our front 7 was dominant today.  Everything else kind of fell apart here and there.  But our guys in the trenches completely wrecked the Falcons.  

I felt like Flacco was flustered way too many times against a weak D.  A lot of his passes were having you gasp for air, and many of them shouldve/couldve been INTs.   Its a good thing Falcons couldnt do squat and capitalize INTs to change the momentum.  Credit to our guys in front crushing the Falcons.  
 

[beanfigger]

My main vent is that I'm salty we're not in the NFC South. We are killin' these fools down there.

 

Two picks in the endzone are not good.

 

Jacoby with another big mistake is not good.

 

The pass rush that I've been waiting for for a couple seasons looks to be here and rocking, so that's good.

 

Holding Julio to 56 yards is great.

 

Forsett still moving down the field with ease is awesome.

Exactly. The worst is that today wasn't the first time this season - not even second or third. I don't know how you trust him in the important game such as next week's one.

Kickoffs I don't mind, but for punts now I'd rather see Campanaro, Webb or no returner at all (trying to block it!).

[Static]

Will Hill is good but Stewart and Brooks aren't giving any reason to reduce their snaps.

[Sir Spooky]

2 of his throws and I can only actually vouch for one. The first INT clearly on Torrey & his less than average route running & positioning.

 

Didn't see one and the other I knew it was trouble as soon as it left his hand. Lobbed up for some reason.

You're right, Torrey can't allow a corner to take away the little room he has but credit to the corner for great coverage with using the sideline to his advantage.

You go with best play available. I'd rather have Will Hill than Stewart back there. Brooks and Will Hill are our future starting safties in my opinion.

[ravensdan]

The only think I have to vent is that I wish the game could have lasted longer. Our game was like the first to end.

I was enjoying watching Ryan and the Falcons get harassed thanks to their total lack of depth across the board.

In a way this was just clearly Ozzie beating dimitoff soundly. How stupid does that jones trade and the following decisions look for them now.

[Static]

I like Matt Elam but we should trade him. There doesnt seem to be room for him in a safety group that went from a weakness to a strength. 

 

Brooks, Hill ( so far ) and Stewart have all played better than him.

 

I'd like us to do Brooks FS and Hill SS.

I'd rather Brooks at SS and Hill at FS if that was the combo you choose. I think Elam will start to look better with a real FS back there, but the way Pees plays defense by moving guys around, who knows.

[allblackraven]

I thought D. Smith deserves a mention. He was very good today, looked much like his old self.

 

Terence Brooks is better and better every game, I really like the guy and am glad he's showing what I've been preaching  all along - that he was the best safety in 2014 draft class.

Thats good too. To be fair Im really high on Terrence Brooks and , to me , his future seems brighter than Elam's.

[Bruce_Almty]

Still can't believe Art Brown, a guy we gave up 2 draft picks to move up and get, has not dressed for one game yet this season. Wonder what his feelings are.

he needs to play or get traded at this point.

Agreed. Elam has talent, but he needs to put it together. He could maybe even make a move to slot CB. I love Webb, but if we can get a good offer, trade him ASAP.

Hill is a bona fide FS, great in the single high. Playing him at SS would be a waste, but he could play it well.

[ravensnick]

on a side note, I'm positive we won't resign Torrey unless he is dirt cheap.

[Static]

Elam is not fluid enough for CB and Webb played very well today against a top pair of receivers.

True, but I'm just trying to think how to cut loses. main motive behind tradin webb isn't play, its injury history and money. Too much money for 2 season ending injuries and another season limiting one.

[Runnin Raven]

Couldn't watch the game but listened. 

 

Sounded like Hurst had a rough one.  Hopefully Monroe is back vs Cincy.

 

No more punt returns for Jacoby, period.  It's Campanaro time. 

 

Have a seat BP, Lorenzo is the better option.

 

That's all the negative I can muster.  Just another sound beating of an inferior opponent, loved it.  These are the ones you gotta win.  Great job Ravens!

3 holding penalties in one half in his best imitation of the former 74 on this team.

To be fair, he is undrafted rookie, playing at LT, not a 1st rounder 4 year vet RT.

True can't blame him too much

[Florida Ravens Fan]

I just want to rant about laying off the gas pedal on O when we have a big lead! other teams like the Broncos do not care they just keep putting up points, we need to do the same.

Broncos up by 25 and manning still slinging it, if we did this we would be the bad guys for running up score smh....

Some of the Falcons players were apparently not too happy with that last TD to Torrey, according to Hensley's last article they thought WE were rubbing it in today.

[BmoreBird22]

You're right, Torrey can't allow a corner to take away the little room he has but credit to the corner for great coverage with using the sideline to his advantage.

Alford was excellent with his coverage. Pretty much ran the route for Torrey, but Torrey did pretty much nothing to fight for position and was fine with allowing Alford to just cut him off and keep him to the sideline. A mixture of excellent coverage and a lack of fight from Torrey
