Week 4 - Baltimore Ravens vs. Oakland Raiders

[izvoodoo]

I do have some hope that the run blocking ticked up.  We can build on that.  Tough loss but I think 3-1 is ok for now.  

[Crimson Raven]

Lot's of dumb stuff. Story of the loss.

People blaming flacco are hilarious. That was a perfect throw

Yup.  You literally couldn't have it any better.

It bounced off his chest. Zero concentration, all game long, from Aiken

Good throw, tough catch.  Joe missed an easy one to Pitta and that BUM Moore drops another easy pass.

this all comes back to one thing... 

harbaugh was a complete idiot. 

why did he take that penalty..

No, it comes down to Wright giving up 3 TDs and Moore and Aiken dropping perfectly placed passes.

[playlikeawhat]

I still think Lewis not making any attempt to legally disrupt Crabtree's catch cost us most in the final minutes.  Dude just watched him adjust to catch the ball.

[Bohica5]

not elite but we're stcuck wit his as long as Mr B keeps harby

I am so ticked at him right now. I can't believe how stupid that was!!!!!!!!!

[Wisdom]

I trust Tucker to win it for us than Flacco.  Poor management decision.....

[kassaiscool]

Joe flacco is overrated. Always has been always will be. Besides his random playoff run in the playoffs to win a super bowl throughout his career he has been average to me. Joe hasn't even thrown for 4,000 yards in a passing league. Even derek carr is better than him right now in my opinion.

[PurpleCity5]

Chris Moore should've caught that pass too.

I don't want to call Moore a bum just yet, but that's the homer in me being too nice...

[PurpleCity5]

Our offense needs to play better. They put the defense in awful situations

I still think this team gets better as the season progresses.  We also desperately need Stanley and Lewis on that left side.  No time to worry now, plenty of season left.  Tough loss, one we could've won.  Penalties, and bad decisions stacked the cards.  

[Bohica5]

can't blame aiken that was a brutal hit

[MichaelJ34]

seriously that last drive was about as bad as you could get .... underthrows   triple coverage  bad calls man  should never have been in 3rd and long or 4th and long  tucker didnt get his chance  coaching needs to be better 

[ratedr]

Flacco hasn't had a good game all year, but I fail to see how Aiken's nonsense is his fault.

Aiken and Moore...neither should be relied upon in this sort of situation.

Really, for a few yards, why were we even throwing? West was running well.

Ultimately Harbaugh caused a 4 point swing with that awful decision to accept the penalty, and not taking the PAT earlier meant playing to win rather than thinking about OT. And really, the defense let the Raiders convert every. single. time in the redzone.

Total team loss. Just terrible.

Yes throw it right on Aiken's chest onto an incoming defender that will ram him right on his chest.  Perfect throw.

 

Oh, and lets completely forget the past 3 throws before that.  That underthrow to Pitta was perfection!

[Wisdom]

I have far more trust in Tucker legs than Flacco inaccurate arm.

You mean the hit that came after the ball already bounced off his chest?

Flacco did well considering zero protection

Cant blame Joe either.

[K-Dog]

I would have trusted Tucker.

At worst, the same results.

Yep. Wright bit on the double move. But Lewis is there to backup Wright if the double move works...Lewis bit on it, too.

[Crimson Raven]

To recap the o line nearly gets our quarterback killed, the D couldn't finish, and two miserable drops finished it

how about the play before when dennis pitta was wide open, and joe underthrew him with a clean pocket? which makes the 4th down play harder to convert

[cnyravens]

Lucky he wasn't picked off on 2nd down.

This game was 2015 all over again. Defense can't hold the lead. Flacco looks lost, Pathetic passes.

Yea, but don't say that on a homer board. Anyone can see Flacco is average at best.....hes had plenty of chances to prove he is "elite", but has not. Elite QBs elevate the talent around them...Flacco needs talent around him to be decent at best...he wasnt and still isnt worth 120 mill.

The ball was dropped before the hit. Aiken didn't even give himself a chance.

Moore looked as if he wasn't even expecting it. His grab would've helped if he stayed focused.
