[808Blackbirds]

Dak exposed this defense . everytime they played man he knew who to pick on same vs zone free 10 -15 yard gains everytime.

I like what I saw from Flacco
The fire and emotion to try and win the game man... Im glad we have him as our Franchise quarterback. He was on point with every throw this game

 

 

Hes garbage

[Ravensfan23]

Once again the other team didn't stop the Ravens offense, it was the Ravens shooting themselves in the foot with penalties that stopped the offense. And for whatever reason plays like the missed TD to Wallace other teams make but the Ravens just don't seem to make. 

The Ravens got exactly what they wanted in terms of putting the game in Dax's hands, but he stood up tall today and definitely earned my respect. 

Also, please don't start the oh the offense didn't help the defense. I hate the theory that other teams can play a full 30 minutes of good football ball but the Ravens defense needs to be fresh all game to play well. Yes the offense didn't help them any with the stupid drive killing penalties. But those long drives the Cowboys had the 2nd half was on the defense. They just couldn't cover well enough or get pressure on Dak.

I'm ready to let go of Harbaugh, we need better coaching plain and simple. Loyalty to his friends as coaches which is what kills us instead of going after obvious upgrades. Hey Michigan, Trade Harbaugh Brothers with us.

That or our discipline just sucks.

But no, it clearly has to be corrupt officials.

Yeah we struggled with penalties quite a bit last year and have a tendency to have bad games with penalties this year as well.

But yeah I am sure the NFL is rigged against Baltimore, that is why we won 2 Super Bowls.

[OUravensfan]

We were clearly outmanned in the trenches and it wore us out. Played tough, if we could only win one game over the next two weeks I'd take the win over Cincy every time 

[loveravensfootball]

The defense played quite well in the first half. But I can't believe we weren't able to stop them once on the final six drives. How long did the offense have the ball in the 3rd quarter? Those three penalties by Zuttah were drive killers.

This fan base got lulled into a sense of hope because this offense had a decent second half against the Browns worst D in the NFL. 

We played a somewhat decent defense today and once again Flacco and the O don't show up. How many games are we going to throw away with poor offense?

The Cowboys run D is solid, but their pass D is trash. If the Ravens were going to win today, Flacco needed to play better than he's played the last 2 years. He just played ok. All of the ridiculous penalties were just the nail in the coffin.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Why run it only 16 times?

[ratedr]

The defense was hot garbage in the second half. But we knew the defense wouldn't hold up without Jimmy. It was time for the offense to hold their end for once given that Dallas has a mediocre defense. They didn't deliver, as usual.

It's Flacco's fault that the defense let the Cowboys drive the field on EVERY possession in the 2nd half?  

Mod 3 Now you see why Ravens must Trade Flacco to the Jets? Flacco IS OLD! He doesn't have it anymore, Better off trading him so we get something instead of nothing when he retires

[Tank 92]

Refs pretty much stole any momentum away that we tried to put together. Say what you want, but that was the most blatantly biased example of officiating I've ever seen.

That said, the cowboys have a pretty damn good offense, balanced and fast. The D was over matched in the second half and just couldn't get off the field. I think we still could have won with a fairly officiated game, but no shame in this loss.  Boys played their hearts out.

He never even attempts to throw it past the first yard marker. even down 10 with a min, he threw 3+ check downs to fb and rbs... he had 1 good year, face it

well I really thought we had a great chance to catch them a little off guard but it didn't work out.  joe doesn't read a defense well and the single covered guy he doesn't see.  its gonna be hard to win with joe unless we have a great oline and 1st class running game.  joe is not gonna win otherwise and hes gonna throw strange balls cuz that's what he does

No ofcourse not he just gets the offense off the field faster so our defense can breath faster

What happen to us running the ball controlling the line of scrimmage. It just ended completely.  And in the end zeke out did our backs. 

 

It's the little things that tick me off watching other offenses against. Seeing a screen or dump off pass go for 15 yards and ours go for negative 1. 

See opposing TEs and WRs find open areas in the middle of the field all day and we literally get nothing from our guys ( other that S.Smith ) in the same areas. 

Z.Smith can not set the edge or get pressure come on man you have to be good at one of them at least!

Anybody blaming the refs right now knows nothing of football. Dallas is clearly the better team.

The refs had several missed calls, and a few bad calls. However, it's not why the Ravens lost the game. The Cowboys O-line makes Dak look so good.

no but its flaccos fault when he throws it an average of 3 yds every 3rd down when we need 10. dude cant even throw a hail mary into the endzone

Dean Pees called his worst game of the year.

I agree, lousy play calling

[Ravens4Real]

Flacco throwing 2 yard passes, on 3rd and 5, and leading receivers into oncoming LB/CB/S's is the most infuriating thing. Here's a guy getting paid almost at the top of his position and 9 years in the league and he still continuously does that kind of stuff

35 passes only 16 carries, we got out of balance again......cowboys executed the blueprint of how we want to play beautifully....well at least the afc north is weak this year so all is not lost

Most of those throws came with the Ravens down by 14 in the 4th quarter, what did you expect? The balance of the offense was great today, the Cowboys couldn't really stop what the Ravens wanted to do, the two problems the Ravens faced was that Cowboys offense controlled the clock and when the Ravens did get something going offensively a stupid penalty would ruin it.

Did I say it's flacco fault? I said I don't trust him anymore. If you think he's playing well then we are watching two different games.

I truly think Flacco misses having a Ray Rice kind of RB behind him.

We give up on our running game way too early and way too often. So what if couple runs don't work, keep pounding.

I want CB and edge rusher in the first round next draft. Trade up for that second round 1 pick.

[Steve0x]

Also im calling for the Firing of DEAN PEES!

In case anyone was wondering why the fans don't make decisions, here's why.

I may be in the minority, but I didn't feel like Flacco played that poorly today. And I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Ravenseconbeast]

Yes b/c 27 points was an IMPOSSIBLE task for Joe Flacco and our offense to beat.   

We had one game where our defense didnt dominate and now they are trash.

We had the opportunity to put some major points on a 22nd ranked passing defense.   No chance.   We did not do that.   Held Flacco by 153 yards and 0 TDs until beginning of 4th quarter.   NOT ACCEPTABLE.

[SirPainsalot]

lol @ blaming Flacco for this loss.

it's an easy scapegoat when the offense has only three times to touch the ball in the second half, and one of the drives completely stopped by a STUPID OLine penalty by Zuttah. I'm blaming this one on the defense collapsing and letting Dak throw easy checkdown passes, let the receivers do the work because the defense is too busy playing deep ball every single play.

Pees is to blame for playing this garbage prevent defense, letting the cowboys take the easy short passes and kill our defense, than forcing them to play long, make a mistake.

[lowcountryraven]

The Cowboy's defense did not stop the Ravens offense, the penalties did.  How many times can the refs call holding away from the play to knock out 1st downs.  By my count there were 5 times on positive plays. How many times are they going to allow Dez to push off a smaller defender. How many times are they not going to call illegal contact downfield or defensive holding. Got to give credit to the Cowboys, they did enough to win only with the help of the refs. Watched the game with a die hard Cowboy fan who could not believe the calls.  He was embarrassed for the NFL., but took the win.  Would like to see this team again with different officiating crew.  NFL ratings way down so they have to promote the Cowboys to continue winning no matter what for a positive narrative with all the negative insensitive selfish behavior by some of the players.  NFL is a business and they are trying to sell product. Hang in there Ravens!  Play hard and we might get another shot at them.

Did you watch the game? Defense didnt stop the cowboy once in the second half.
