Week 11 - Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Might as well just throw the TD here.  Not like we're gonna score twice.

Really? Since I'm seeing a ton of three man and four man rushes.

Right now you should be. What's the point of blitzing now? They've owned us when we blitz. They're just shoving the ball down our throats now.

Pees doesn't even need to be on the field right now. Its pure desire at this point.

That's crap.  The D can't get off the field.  We've only had the ball 3 times this half and scored with one of those.

Can't score 17 against the best team in the league and expect to win.

[ravensdfan]

Is this defense the best since 2000? Shook my head when I read that headline. Now it is a flipping joke. We will never be anything as long as Pees is here. The man has 4 man rush, 3 man rush or obvious all out blitz. No creativity. For some reason thinks you must give cushions of infinity and play lie down football within 2 mins and the 4th quarter. Even when we're losing!
Doesn't send a blitz until they're in the red zone then has people giving 10 yd cushions in man coverage.

The loss is a loss. Dallas is a good team. But we've got actual talent on this defense and it is wasted with this DC.

Offense: Marty - newsflash: Pitta cannot block! Further more, you do NOT have to run on every first down.

Given the fact that we haven't beat a winning team all year, did anyone think this would end different?

There was hope we could pull it off

[Afchris2006]

Looks like the D has just given up!

Nothing he can do.. Magically make a player come our on roster taller than 5'11

Draft picks..... start there!

If Jimmy Smith played things might have worked out differently, but alas, it's not really surprising.

We were fooled, I think a lot of us knew in the back our head though, this defense is incomplete and lacks, emotion, and playmakers. 

I got destroyed a month ago just for saying we weren't the number one D 

you cant be a top D in this league without a legit pass rush

Dallas knew we were going to stop Elliott, and they are forcing us to defend the pass, and we aren't doing a good job of it. 

We missed Jimmy...and these other DB's...starters or not....ARE NOT...on his level!!

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Why didn't Harbs call a timeout before the 2 minute warning?

[chunkywill25]

D isn't even in the same class as the 2008 or 2011 defenses

[jdynamite]

If only we had that oline. 

[reed20]

We should have just kicked an onside kick after our TD

Hard to be physical and press when Pees wants them to play 10 yards off. 

You can't put a 5'8 receiver in press against 6'0 + receivers. There is a reason he has it like that. Cornerbacks like talib who use this are able to read and react faster. Our corners just make him look stupid.

Gotta have the ball to score.

If I was anybody on the D I'd be screaming at the offensive players in that locker room.

Those statements were made by post Super Bowl fans who don't know what some of the 2000s Ravens defenses looked like

We still have to go to pit and play cincy twice who we have had difficulty beating :/

I think they beat Pit and go 1-1 with cincy. IDK tho..either way this isn't the year of the ravens..it's the year of Dem Boyz.

Cmon mom it's more than that. Pass coverage has sucked for the past 5 seasons

We've been decent this year.  You know that...  They have had a pretty tough one today, admit it.

[PurpleCity5]

Dak Prescott doesn't play or look like a rookie. 

[hen826957]

Maybe the Ravens could get a special teams block and sent it to the house or something. They probably will run it the next down. 

[reed20]

This defense is great but it has no depth in the secondary.

[jimmypowder]

Dallas is teaching us a lesson in smash mouth 

football , once our signature offense . 

They have destroyed our D in the second half . 

[flynismo]

All it will take to replace Flacco is time. It catches up to everyone. I think another 5-6 years should get the job done.

[Moderator 3]

This just in: Dallas is actually a good team.

He looked completely like a rookie until Dallas figured out the blitz

Where is the physicality of our CB's to press and jam up receivers man?  All of this cushion mess is trash!

Our best CB is 5'9 and 177 pounds right now. Pressing isn't an option...

No wonder they're about to score on five consecutive possessions.

Yeah, this should have been the game we exposed them for playing a soft schedule and only playing against 3 Top 10 defenses prior. Instead we just making them look exactly like they have been all year. Can't wait for Dallas to play a real defense and be shutout and all the hype goes down the drain.
