They drove down the field for the second one

The second one is nothing but a garbage time score without the pick.

ON the bright side. I'd rather be in second place going into the Steelers game. This team can't handle success. We are much better, as we always have been, hungrier and playing from the bottom looking up. Being that it is a divisional opponent and we have only played ONE complete game this year, I expect the odds are in our favor that we will be competitive, not perfect, but at least hang around in the end with a legit shot to win. GO Ravens!

Thank God we have a kicker that can hit 50+ Fg's or our season would be over today.

Why was Flacco throwing with a 10 point lead at the 15 with a 10 point lead !!???,! Crazy ! 

[Moderator 3]

Harbaugh just took responsibility for the worst play call ever on Flacco's INT.  LOL!

[jimmypowder]

Our defensive line looked like Swiss cheese . They ran all over us

This franchise tends to win big games when they have no other choice but to win big games.  So I'm with you, needing to win this game and being behind the Steelers could help us get into that mentality.

Defense is not overrated. Defense has a bad game and now fans saying they suck. 

Who said they suck? I said they are overrated, which they are.

Could have been the worst play call in Ravens history if we lost . Season over .

Literally OVER us.  We could not bring anyone down.  It would look like we had the carrier stopped and he'd get 4 or 5 more yards.

[Raving_Heathen]

All this talk from Harbaugh all week about the Ravens needing to leave everything on the field against the Eagles, and this is the team's response? One of the worst defensive outings of the year against an undermanned O, and continued stupid situational playcalling on offense.

Defense hasn't played well past the first quarter all season. They are not good.

Not good at all? They are a good defense; maybe not elite but good.

Worst performance by our defensive line in a long long time 

[Ravensdoordie]

The good: nothing ...defense was the worse they ever have been... I don't ever remember them letting a RB get that much yardage so easily. (Also goes under the bad)

the bad: Harbaugh still being our head coach. Almost lost another game because of his allowing the OC to pass when all we had to do was run the ball and eat up the clock and at least come away with 3. He already cost us at least 2 games and therefore we would have already won our division ... 

Also, special teams... Terrible... 

And could someone please tell the returner to just take a knee in the end zone and go to the 25 yard line...

the ugly: everything about this game... And the thought that Harbaugh probably will not be fired after this season... 

He is a terrible coach .... He gets out coached by every team he plays.... I am tired of seeing his Whitney face when he is the cause of it all... And of course when he does the press conference he will never say anything about how terrible a coach he is....

 

and flacco...hey joe, keep it in your pants...ever since you had kids you stopped being any good and wanting to play the game the way it should be played.... You lost your spark....

Overrated seems like you saying it that way. 

[jimmypowder]

Scoring 27 points should be plenty to beat the Eagles . 

People complained about the offense all game but we should have ended up with 30-34 points with smart play calling in the 4th quarter

The defense is absolutely overrated. Just because the offense is trash doesn't mean the defense is great. That #1 ranking is a mirage.

You may have a point. I do wish we were tied with the Steelers so that if we beat them we could rest against Cincy and not have to worry about that game. We certainly could beat the Steelers and lose to Cincy. Unfortunately, we can't get our hopes up too high if we win next week.

[redrum52]

The good: We won

 

The bad: Run D

 

The ugly: My blood pressure after this game...

[Moderator 3]

For weeks we criticized the offense for going conservative with a lead.  Now we want someone's head because they didn't.  Yes, it was boneheaded, but it sure wasn't conservative.

[rmw10]

The lack of commitment to the run still boggles my mind.  It's not like it's not working anymore.  It's been working fine for the last several weeks, so why abandon it?

Good: run game. Dixon's a playmaker. Tucker. Young's pass break up against Green-Beckham.

Bad: some of our fronts couldn't stop the run. Guy lined up as a 0-tech and we got destroyed. 

Ugly: the missed holding calls from their C and Ertz. Flacco and his weekly interception. 

3 explosive plays (West, Wallace and Camp) on 3 drives and none of them resulted in points.

When is West going to get some credit? He rushed for 77 on 13 carries and added 45 on 4 catches

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

The good: WE WON

The bad and ugly: Turn overs I support Flacco but sometimes his internal clock just does not work at all the sack / fumbles just haunt me and way too many check downs defense just snuffs them out and very bad thrown ball on the Int. WR's not catching well thrown balls. defense just got owned today in the running game they were ugly and lacking all game piss poor tackling. Stupid penalties although they did a little better this week then they did the last few weeks.

They took care of the Eagles at home but not decisively and now we travel to the Steelers and then the Bengals home after that.

The defense is good not great due to the corners we have. We have to get better corners in the offseason.

We want someone's head because it was boneheaded. Zero situational awareness. Good thing the Eagles aren't fighting for the playoffs, because we were not going to win that game in OT.

I guess that's a rhetorical question, since I'm sure you know the answer - clueless play caller.

Agreed. They've folded against or been trucked by just about every GOOD offense they've faced all year, especially without Jimmy. Only game where they played well was probably vs Pittsburgh with an injured Roethlisberger. Definitely not anywhere near as good as they're ranked.

[PuRock]

Hopefully our D-line got the stink out of their system this game and get back on track next week.

Agreed west was exactly what Ravens needed today 

[757RavensFan]

Good: Dixon and West

Bad: penalties that stall drives or overturn turnovers. 

Ugly: play call to throw inside the 10 with a 10 pt lead. Run defense.
