[News] Game Recap: Giants 27, Ravens 23

[surfdude]

Yea Joe plays like he rather be with his family. He just looks like a guy who does not care anymore. I guess once you get superbowl MVP what else is there?

He's totally checked out and its only week 6. Ugh !

All the play calling in the world can't stop Flacco from throwing behind the line of scrimmage when you need 19 yards. That said Harbaugh needs to stop pulling points from the board. 3-0 with Stanley 0-3 without a rookie seems to be our best player. 8-14 in the last 22, all but one game decided by 8 or fewer, we just aren't very good.

It's not like they didn't call the routes, it's that those routes were covered.  Watch the game, you could see that on tv. Smh

He has consistently done this since last year, he has fundimental problem going on. Perhaps it could be a mental thing as well. I don't have the answer but I'm not blind he throws short every time because it's one read check down. He hasn't gone through his progressions since the Super Bowl. On a plus I did see him call 3 adjustments and 2 audibles today.

[surfdude]

i guess on the bright side, 8 - 8 might win the North .

[BoominRaven]

harbaugh with the game LOSING decision again.... we aren't the patriots, we aren't scoring 30 a game - when points are there we have to TAKE THEM!!! cmon man

[terpmaniac]

Damn. That was ugly. Like all 3 loses the game in hand we pee it away.

[ravens4life86]

ConquererWorm, we can agree to disagree. Your given what you have. At that point a fg would a made it 17-16. And assuming Beckham still goes off and so does joe The score wouldve been 27-26 with Tucker for GW Fg.

Now if your saying things change technically true but thst means maybe Ravens get more stops too. So take the game on face value

Harbaugh has cost this team 3 straight games. We are not the Saints or some explosive offensive, chasing points is costly. You gotta take points when they are there.

This team is embarrassing,

Game Recap...

1) How many times will coaching cost Ravens games. Coach Horrible chasing points 3 straight games, and again costing a win. This week take the fg.. would have set up a Tucker GW Fg at the end instead of needing a TD.

2) Better playcalling flow, more deep shots from Marty but still 48 passes unacceptable. West 23 for 87, When Ravens had a 10-0 lead at 1 point, and 10-10 most of the game. Run the ball 30x West could and should of had 30 for 115-120.

3) Coaching Decisions and injuries costing team. Harbaugh or coach Horrible take the freaking points you already lost 3 games chasing points. Also this team is embarrassment to the city with a makeshift Oline 15 penalties.
I wont watch another game, unless they get half their starters back.
Im done watching Ducasse,Jenson,etc until Stanley,Yanda etc gets Harbaughs approval Im done with this embarrassment of a team

Harbaugh is getting worse

I agree that we should have taken the points, but the rest of the game wouldn't have played out the same.  I'd be willing to bet that we wouldn't have gone for it on 4th and 5 on our own 30 with 5min 54 seconds remaining in game.  Hindsight is always 20/20.  I have no problem with the call myself, but I would have taken the points and maybe if we had the normal OL in the game gone for it. Just my 2 c

[djdave1984]

Dropped passes, Stupid penalties, Zero pass rush, Bad O-line play, injuries. I don't care who the coaching staff or QB is - you're not winning games.

And there you go,, you listed almost everything in a team that is needed to win yet it's not coaching staff who is at fault????? SMH..

[djdave1984]

When a team keeps on making bone headed penalties game after game, season after season and keeps loosing..Whose fault is it? Coaching staff.

The Ravens lost games to 3 bad teams because we were just out coached ! The Giants put up a better pass rush, while the Raven allowed Manning all day to throw.Our staff for some reason ,thinks they can run the ball with 2 nd string players out of position ! I feel Brian Billick is coaching this team.

Harbaugh is getting worse

1. If they take the FG, it changes the rest of the plays from there on out. So, it doesn't set up a game winning FG. It's foolish to think that is actually possible. We wouldn't have even been in position to win the game if Harbs hadn't went for on 4th & 5.

2. West had 3 chances to score from the 1 yard line and couldn't - you think he gets 30 yards on 7 more carries? The Giants tighten their run D and the run wasn't working. You call the plays that the defense gives you. Juice with the worst (non) block by a fullback ever.

3. O-line, Injuries & Pass Rush (or lack thereof) is why we are losing games.

It is impossible to look at the Ravens over the 4 years and believe Harbs has nothing to do with their lack of success.

He is the head coach.

He hires the coordinators and coaching staff.
He and with OZ draft players and decide what free agents to sign, who to keep
It the coach's job to be responsible for development of players and instill discipline
It's his job to build an identity for the team.

It's not just Harbs, it's his job to be responsible . The team is not moving in the right direction over the last 4 years.

[Bruce_Almty]

Watching the Ravens continue to lose really puts a dark cloud over my Sundays and the blue in Blue Monday. Losing enthusiasm rapidly.

[verified]

this team is pathetic

[Crusader]

Check out Hurst letting Joe get crushed before the half. Never never hit anyone.

[dirtybird66]

wonder what the exuse this week will be.$20 mill ELITE QB.! what happens when the franchise makes losing a habit and finds ways to lose,where do you go from here?

[Flamengo1265]

Maybe the Ravens fired the wrong coordinator. Eli only threw for over 400 yards. I'll bet that AJ Green and Antonio Brown are dying to play us so they can pad their stats.

[PalmBayRaven]

I have to agree with the overall vibe here. Joe was a one hit wonder and got paid and IMO is stealing money from Steve. I've defended Joe around the water cooler for years , but now I can't any longer. Sorry Joe nice guy, but an average QB at best. Enjoy your cash while the Ravens and its fans suffer for another few years.

He is now 27-26 since Super Bowl

[dirtybird66]

it seems theres certain players that make plays every week and some that don't make plays-------every week!

[dirtybird66]

exuses,exuses,exuses.

Many of those calls were bogus bro. The players go out there and do what they do. I saw several terrible calls/missed calls that entire game. The only person who had a clue was the woman.

Another week were we pass up on a FG and lose. I am beginning to believe that we ALWAYS take 3 points unless we are down multiple TDs late in the game.

Marty: I can't be mad at Marty for that game plan or what we put together on the field. I saw much more crossing and vertical routes. Commitment to the running game for 4 quarters. Flacco also looked a lot more comfortable finding open WRs; even with out SR on the field.
The 2nd/3rd quarters were dictated by tons of penalties that stalled our drives. With a patchwork o-line missing 3 starters, you would expect some of that. Add in what seemed to be an attempt to keep the game close by the Zebras in the 1st half and you don't get anything done.

Overall: This game had more of the same, but also showed some promise of this team if we get healthy. Marty will also get a better feel of this offense the more he calls plays.

***Every team in the AFC North lost today. The Division is still for the taking, and we have a better shot of it with Marty than we did with Trestman. Our offense got better today. That is all that matters.

Just spicing up things here.

One of those audibles was when Joe literally changed the play and we ran right into the defensive overload while the left side of the line outnumbered the defenders. Someone just shoot me lol

Feel the same way except not losing my enthusiasm

[dirtybird66]

When a team keeps on making bone headed penalties game after game, season after season and keeps loosing..Whose fault is it? Coaching staff.

the 1 job a head coach has,as other jobs are delegated out,it's his job #1 to keep his team focused and motivated.

[picke]

You can predict the post-game rhetoric before you even hear the current version. Why? Because you have heard it before...lots of times.

[dirtybird66]

I say this every week,even the close wins,this team lacks focus every single week,focus on not making stupid plays and penalties,ALL go back to a coach not having his team focus,it's just pathetic that every week you can't get guys to focus,silly.

[Molson Man]

The offensive genius Brian Billick would have kicked the field goal, knowing the personnel issues combined with our lack of red zone success. We fired him one year after giving him a contract extension, Harbs is 27-29 including the playoffs since Ray Lewis retired. Why do we keep giving him a pass exactly? That being said if we go 8-8 or 7-9 I don't see him losing his job, any worse than that then we might pull the trigger and cut him loose. I used to give him the benefit but, I'm tired of defending him when he doesn't even contribute. He doesn't coach offense, defense or special teams for us. He is a motivator and a game manager whose few influential decisions have put us in peril late in games way to often. He I a gambler who doesn't have the cards so he just keeps bluffing. Gotta change it up once in a while Harbs.

Quit crying. Flacco didn't lose that game. A few big plays on a banged up defense, terrible officiating, and a patchwork o-line dictated that game. Our offense showed much improvement outside of every 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 25 they had to face.
