Can anyone catch the ball?

[Ravens52]

How much dropped passes is that?

[theblackdog]

Argh, what is with our receivers?!

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Well, I guess the way it's going right now, I'll see you guys later, cause I'm having Chinese! I'm not giving up just yet, but god!!!!!! Here's to a good second half!

[Ravnet]

There is no way around the fact that Flacco is not good enough yet.

[theFRANCHISE]

Nice to see Daren Stone back on the special teams unit.

[Tonymontana45]

Our punts are off tonight, mason is off and flacco is off

[Man Crush on Flacco]

A Pick 6 right now would be huge.

[rvngirl]

No.Way.

[FlaccoFlicker]

stone's back to

[codizzle]

does someone feel motivated to start a petition to fire Cam

[Moderator 3]

Between the dropped passes and the necessary throw-aways, Joe is going to have about a 5% completion tonight.

We need a big play. Now Walker is back (I'm happy our 4th/5th string is back) and our defense should make some plays on the balls.

[Moderator 2]

Pick 6 Pick 6 Pick6 PLEASE!

As an amendment to that statement, I think there's no way around the fact that Flacco is not good enough to put a game on his arm yet.

As for taking care of the ball, that's a different story. In spite of the one pick, he's done a fairly good job of avoiding crucial mistakes (though there were a few tipped passes that shouldn't have even been thrown).

Yup yup and I never thought that I'd be happy seeing Frank Walker on the field.

[FlaccoFlicker]

dude in his face ....

simply a down and out that was forced off timing because of the pressure. not much to do there

Basically

[svt2nv04]

Why can't we throw the short slants?

[scoluvsravens]

Receivers are way off and flacco is def not in the zone. This has got to be his worst game of the year by far

[MKdave]

We need more Rice and we need more McClain and we need less shots deep. They aren't working. Change it up!

5/18 for 62 yards. Sure, there have been some dropped passes, and yes, Cam hasn't called a very good game, but mature quarterbacks can overcome that. I'm just hoping that we can get just enough big plays to pull out another lucky win.

It happened a lot those days...

He's not a rookie anymore. The regular season is over. He already has enough games under his belt to no longer be called a rookie.

He's just a young player, period.

I've been wondering that all season.

2nd and 9, one down closer to a 3 and out.
