[News] Eisenberg: Ravens' Identity Is Already Pretty Clear

[Fastynart]

I am so sick and tired of these lame excuses. Now, they have some things "to figure out". What the heck does that mean? It would have had more meaning if the comments were "the defense completely disintegrated in the last quarter" and "the offense failed to do the job on the last series of downs". Stay tuned for the next lame excuse after this week's game against the Redskins.

Nice stat but not many TD passes. I would trade yards for TDs all day.

What makes me sick though is seeing all these qbs across the league throw these simple little crossing routes and watch their receiver break a tackle or make guys miss for 60 and 70 yard TDs bulking up their stats. Rarely have any of our players been good at getting yards after the catch.( aside from sss maybe and he's not that fast and the smallest receiver we got) help a brother out and show some heart. Make some damn plays. I've also seen Joe drop the ball right in the bread basket several times only for it to be dropped. People criticise him for throwing off his back foot a lot but everytime he steps into a throw and puts some mustard on it the receivers don't make the catch. ( hence the Aiken drop that would have sealed the deal and had us sittin pretty at 4-0) fact is Joe puts us in position to come away with a victory every single game. It might not always be pretty, but somehow he always atleast gets us in position to win one way or another. Usually we have to rely on a defensive stop or tuckers foot to seal the deal...but Joe makes every  game winnable and usually doesn't get much help. We scratch and claw our way back into that game against Oakland and need  one defensive stop at home mind you and we let them march straight down the feild with no hesitation or resistance whatsoever. And even after that Joe STILL puts us in position to win and his receivers drop 2 crucial balls. Joe is not to blame so stop it with the nonsense.  The play calling is questionable, and if it were me I would've ran the ball with west on third down..tried to catch them offguard and then depending on the yardage he gained we could've either went for a shorter 4th down conversion or sent Justin out for a 60 + yarder. Who knows west could've busted out with a 30 yard run or even taken it to the house. Running the ball atleast gives you a guaranteed shot at yardage,  and west had the hot hand. 4 passes in a row was foolish. I really blame Moore for the drop, BC if he catches that then we likely do run it on third down if he doesn't pick up the first anyway. But I also blame Trestman. Joe is NOT at fault here. This is just one of those games that will  leave a bad taste in my mouth for a loonnng time, being that close to a 4-0 start and beating a potential wildcard team.

Don't get so high on Joe. He missed a lot of open, and I mean wide open, receivers in that last game.

I don't think I am getting too "high" on Joe. Just stating the facts. Ofcourse he has his bad days and misses receivers from time to time- but when it comes down to it like I said he does just enough to at least keep us in every single game and usually puts us in position to win. Would I like to see more from him? Sure.
