The good, bad, and really sad, Week 8 edition

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Its official: We are no longer the WORST team in the NFL.

[Florida Ravens Fan]

The good: we won

The bad: because we won Pees will not be fired.

The ugly: Pees will not be fired. And sucky ending for SSS.

[January J]

You people make me sick. The Ravens won a hard fought game. Have some damn pride and quit whining about draft position and how we won and blazay blah. We're not tanking - Get over yourselves.

Justin tucker baby.

[Kid87]

Again was Marlon Brown even on the field?

Game wasn't on TV in VA what was our WR line up?

[RavensPunkXVX]

Bunch of whiners on these forums.I want to see my team win. Super happy we got the W!

I second this.

[Deflated Football]

I'm really sad about SSS. That really ruins my weekend.

[Sir Spooky]

Game wasn't on TV in VA what was our WR line up?

SSS, Aiken, Brown, Ross, Givens. I was being facetious about Marlon Brown. 

 

SSS got hurt towards the end of the 3rd quarter or early 4th. 

[Cville-Raven]

Game ball goes to Flacco.

Aiken stepped up when we needed him most. Urschel needs to iron out those snapping errors.

Defense stepped up in the 4th I guess

In a medicore draft, yes, yes we do need the overall #1 pick. Plus consider Suggs is almost done, we need Bosa.

I have heard him being mentioned a tad overrated, either way he might still be available top 3-5.

 

i think we have seen the last snap of steve smiths career, very sad. 

 

that said, flacco seems to play just fine without him, he is more willing to spread the ball around, he seems less int-prone, he doesnt have the same tunnel vision, we love to have him on the field and it is extremely sad to see him go down, but i think joe can handle things without a crutch of a WR to lean on. hes better spreading it around. 

 

aiken is so hot and cold, sometimes i wonder if he actually is who he was being hyped up as in the offseason... 

 

urschel needs to work on his snap game. 

 

we desperately need a LT because monroe is worthless if hurst is playing in his place all the time. 

 

we still desperately need a safety 

 

if perriman lives up to first round status when he returns, then we may be ok at WR, aiken and givens are both catching fire and it would be nice to see them build upon that as 2 and 3.

So true, Joe needs to go through his progessions and spread it around.

I'm sad for Smitty, I thought "achilles" to myself as soon as he pulled up. Looked like he hyperextended his foot into dorsi flexion a couple steps before the tackle.

Too bad we couldn't give him that ring last season.

Nah, give it to Hill, he was vital in the last charger possession at the goal line and that clutch gates defense.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

People have to lay off Kamar because him and Flacco were on point with those slants. Where was that all season? 

 

SSS going down with what looks like an achilles injury is so heartbreaking. I don't think anyone can seriously ask him to play next year when he wants to be with his family and his body is beat up. 

Kamar has had relatively little experience playing WR, not just in the NFL, but also in college where his best season was as a junior with only 36 catches for 610 yards but 9 TDs. And this was in the CUSA which is hardly the SEC or ACC.

 

Aiken has come a long way in his development into a solid steady WR.

But it's unrealistic to expect him to be a #1, which he now is by default with SSS' injury and Givens still not up to speed with Flacco and the playbook yet.

+a trillion

[ratedr]

Flacco was the man on offense. Hill on defense.

[hawkprey]

Joe doing work with receivers acquired for a total of a 2017 7th round pick.

[usmccharles]

Even in a win we can't have good news

[JoeyFlex5]

can we mention will hill stonewalling gordon 1 yard short of the first down, and when gordon gave the extra effort, hill scooped him for a perfect form tackle, and the refs called it unneccessary roughness? 

 

can we also talk about the ghost PI called on webb on a 3rd down stop that had literally zero contact? 

 

the refs are seriously ruining the sport of football, goodell needs to get his act together and focus on wahts important, stop fining players for honoring their dead parents, and start making extreme examples of referees that are absolutely destroying this sport.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

^{Aiken looked OK . I would still like to see more Givens and Ross. Marlon is just not cut out to be a WR in the NFL.}

[VeiledPsychosis]

Steve Smith torn achilles, if we wanted him back next year then this'll probably do it, I don't think he's the kind of player to go out like that. Aiken needs to get his stuff together because he is currently our #1 with Smith out.

Yeah the refs have been bad all season long.

[Raven552]

We really need a center... I held my breath with every snap.

 

However, you would have thought we won the Superbowl if you were watching at my house.

[rmcjacket23]

Nah, give it to Hill, he was vital in the last charger possession at the goal line and that clutch gates defense.

Was also caught out of position in coverage on numerous occasions, including some key third downs.

 

Thought Flacco was unbelievable in this game, especially considering two key losses for him during the game.

[ellicottraven]

We won this game finally! It sucks we lost our best offensive player doing that but, hey when has it ever been easy for us? I don't think we are meant to catch a break this season! But, all in all very satisfactory and therapeutic to get a W.

[ellicottraven]

Kamar Aiken showed up big today catching everything thrown his way whether thrown well or not!

did you see that banged up team we played? if the chargers had weddle at least...

[RavensRegime]

Flacco is starting to learn from his mistakes earlier in the season! No INTs today! No turnovers today!

Givens & Aiken really stepped up today!

SSS has been my favorite player since his 2nd season in the league! And playing for my fav team these last 2 seasons has been

memorable! To see him go down in the Steeler win was crushing, but to see him go down today was heartbreaking!!!

I feel he will be out for the year, but i hope he doesnt go out like this!!! I hope that he & T-Sizzle get healthy & gives us another yr!

This win is bittersweet!!!! Go Ravens

Who was the second key loss? Caught some on the radio but Wasn't Able to watch the game here in va.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

Good: Joe was sharp, Will was killing it on D (at times), the D-line was stout, Kamar and Givens were clutch, Justin was money.

Bad: Pees and his soft coverage 3 man pass rush nonsense, miscommunication & blown assignments by the secondary, our LBs can't cover, Marlon is trash.

Ugly: Urschel's snaps, SSS achilles, injuries in general, now our WR corp is Aiken, Givens and either Ross or Brown (hopefully Ross).

Zuttah.  Urschel's lack of any game experience at C really showed as he had a number of bad snaps, one of which almost cost the game.

[Ravens4Real]

We won and lost SSS for the year. Is it possible that that is a double negative?
