A "testy" Torrey is real good.

I actually think the coaches have been telling him to play angrily and with more hungry. he understands he needs to string these performances together to get his "money" at the end of the season.

Our fans are so great.

Steve Smith: "I'm gonna look in the eyes of all of my victims before I take their lunch money."

Wait if he said that....thats the quote of the year.

if torrey keeps playing angry and camp is explosive in the slot, i genuinely believe we can end up 11-5 of 12-4. I just dont know about the secondary. levine and gorrer need to look more impressive.

I think we can scrap FS as a need off the list, Will Hill In my opinion has to be resigned, as well as Jimmy and Torrey Smith, he played the best I've seen for any defensive player besides C.J against the Colts. I don't think Baltimore would've won if not for him! Good game C.J and Forsett, congrats man, I'm so happy for you, you definitely deserved this moment.Oh yeah, and thanks for Fantasy! :D Love ya man!

It was a good game by everyone offensively. Obviously we still have a lot of defensive issues to work out (other than Will Hill it was fairly miserable - allowing 400+ passing yards? No good.), and hopefully we find a way to improve in that department. Fortunately the rest of our schedule doesn't have any really high-powered offenses (Chargers and Browns can be good, but are still too inconsistent), and every game does look winnable. A few things about the game:

 

-Joe Flacco is slowly getting better again; he was good, but not great. And he may have even been great if our running game hadn't been so amazing. Anyways, it's good to at least see him go back-to-back games without any turnovers. Hopefully he continues to improve through the final stretch of the season.

 

-Justin Forsett was simply incredible. I'm sure that the Saints' bad D had something to do with it, but boy did he take advantage. I was proud of him the whole way - he really carried the offense tonight. Best performance of the game.

 

-Congrats to Terrell Suggs on reaching 100 sacks - nice to have it against an elite QB, too. 

 

-Will Hill was really the bright spot of the bad D today; the pick six was pretty much the deciding factor of the game. Congratulations to him as well, and it sure feels good to have him around - hoping his big play will continue.

 

-Sure, Drew Brees is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but that's still no excuse to allow 400+ passing yards. The secondary is going to have to work extra hard on this short week to improve as much as possible.

 

Overall I'm very pleased that we came away with the W, knowing this was honestly one of the toughest games left on our schedule; the Saints were hungry to win that one, and we barely squeaked by. I'm hoping the offense will build from this nice outing, and the defense will learn from their mistakes and get better. 7-4; let's make a run for the playoffs!!!

Levine has played pretty good as of late. Gorrer, I also think did okay, Will Hill was truly the gem of the team. He balled out. I think that with him, we can have a pretty good combo of secondaries.

When he was talking to Ray, Trent, Steve Young and whatshisface when he came back out on field for the postgame show.

I agree.  Colston is an elite receiver.  Gorrer did all he could against him and I don't think even with the big catches he let Colston get behind him.  

 

This game could be a heck of a kickstart if the Ravens can harness this.

Our O-line has to step up the protection against the next three or four opponents, who will provide more of a test than NOLA for sure. Defense needs to step up a bit, as well, because I'm not sure if we have 34 on our schedule again.

I was so freaking pumped up in this game; every drive and play, my voice was on top of my lung. 

 

Will Hill is sick man, covering the best TE on the planet: 1 break ball the away from his hands, tight cover on shoulder throw, and INT for home run.  The dude was making huge huge impact on Ravens secondary....god if Jimmy wasn't hurt, who's going to throw on us? Santa?

 

Torrey was playing lights out, physical, smart and great route runner.  He is playing Steve Smith SR or Boldin's type of football.  I'm happy for him.....

 

Smith SR is playing as usual: pissed off homerunner.  It's like he's taking money out of your pocket slowly and hollering that I'm taking your money so try to stop me fools!

 

Joe is on top of the throws, making every throw and decisive on the reads.

 

Front 7 is pressuring Drew all night; freaking beast defense...

 

Aiken was closing out the game with a high rebound for the ball.

 

I'm so proud of Ravens football; I hope they keep improving and making a run for playoff spot and deep into the playoff....

Gorrer did very well from what I saw...

Hill was caught a few times in bad spots but overall a great game...

Good defensive game overall honestly with just a handful of big plays given up but that's forgivable when the red zone defense locks up

your gonna need shutdown corners in the playoffs against the mannings and bradys. jimmy smith would be a godsend in the playoffs. At best, Asa Jackson comes back and looks good and webb gets increasingly better. Then this would sound like 2012. We'll have to see.

Overall very proud of the performance overall... Defense gave up chunks at times and a few bad angles/pursuits in the secondary

Pass rush got really vanilla for a bit

Offense was consistent.. Say it often but losing pitta really really hurt the middle of the field for flacco but can't complain with the offensive perfomance

There were holes for days off tackle in the run game.. WOW is all I got there

Hard to fuss after a road win, but Monroe is the weak link on the OL. Pierce is garbage. Elam doesn't impress. Add Jacoby Jones to can't wait til Campanaro comes back.

campanaro will help(plz stay healthy) and i think they should use pa to run some seams to juice.  but in essence camp is key to unlocking the middle of the field.
