they time of possessed us 36 minutes to 23 and they outscored us by 10 late. Our D was tired and they made the fatal mistake of rollin the dice on the extra point.  call harball a dunce and he prolly is but their coach is worse

The TOP was lopsided because the D couldn't stop the run. If they were tired that's their own fault.

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

So he admitted he is an awful coach. Great

[drillem]

I wanna luv this team, but the game management has been highly suspect for over 2 years now.  I realize we all make mistakes or err sometimes on decision making...but this has become a key element in many games and always seems to zap team morale afterwards.  I am glad they won this game.  But the win was so ugly, I hate the way the victory came.  We had a small amount of time near the end of the game, Wallace had just taken the ball down into the red zone, all we got to do is run the clock down, just run the ball and if no td then a mere fg ensures the victory.  But instead, someone okayed a pass which was, of course intercepted.  Down the field the eagles go with a renewed spirit which they got off our utter awful game/time management.  I mean awful...did I say awful?  We only got away with the win because the eagles decided to go for 2 and it didn't work.  Nothing else.  The decisions to go for it on 4th down during the last 2 seasons were too numerous to mention.  The lack of urgency at the end of games when we needed another score to win or tie are becoming epic.  Who is responsible for these decisions?  They ought to be reminded who pays their money.  I feel let down at every turn with this team with few exceptions.  The talent is there.  It isn't being used properly.  Maybe the team doesn't want to win.

I'm surprised I don't see more complaints against Flacco. Yeah , it was a bad call by Morningweigh but he has to have faith that his quarterback doesn't make a rookie mistake and lock on to a receiver which lets the backer jump the route or at the very least protect the ball.  This leads me to Flacco continually demonstrates the same  mistakes.

For years I've seen him do stupid things like on 3rd down slide short of the yards sticks, or the time he stupidly scrambled out the clock at the half against Cincy while in chip shot field goal range or even taking dumb sacks on third down making the field goal tougher. Keep in mind he took a stupid sack on the drive before the  interception drive to take us out of field goal range. This guy is low football IQ .

 

As always blame everyone but the real source.

...except for one thing...flacco takes orders from the HC and OC who had the option of running then fg.  Knowing flacco's weakness and then calling that play in that situation requires some serious reflection on the quality of our coaching staff...

[nextgen_RavensFan]

The bad - The defense got pushed around A LOT, manhandled almost.

The good - Tavon held his own, SSR getting hurt just pissed him off, love that guy. 

The obvious -  Joe does not like 2 score leads.. LOL just kidding.

If he does make it back, I don't think it would be back till first or second week of playoffs.

That is IF we make the playoffs.

Very BIG if.

[DomMcRaven]

I wasn't even happy with this win and it wasn't with what happened with us, but in Ohio. Leave it to the BUNGLES to choke away a 20-6 lead. But mind you, they'll look like SB contenders against us. Smh.....

[Gruntled Ravens Fan]

As bad as this game was, I am just glad we got the win. It is too bad that we couldn't get these kind of ugly wins against the jets and redskins.

I mean honestly, what's the point? He keeps doing this season after season, and we keep criticizing him season after season but nothing's gonna change. I don't understand how he does not learn from his mistakes year after year. I have honestly given up on him elevating his play anymore. He is what he is, hot and cold very inconsistent.

We didn't deserve to win the NE game, but, Kendrick Lewis did his best to ensure we wouldn't beat Oakland.

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.

When you're that close, you don't turn the ball over. You have to come away with points, even if it's a FG.  West and Dixon were having pretty good days, run the ball.  But if you decide to throw, stay away from the middle where all the traffic is.

absent hester and elam in the NE match and we had a better chance.

The good: we won

bad: Flacco and the run defense

ugly: coaching

This coaching staff is starting too scare me. I really thought we had a good staff, not so sure any more. Some of decision making is really mind boggling. 

I'm pretty sure Marty won't be back, but starting to wonder about John. Will he be back? 

Haven't heard anything about his contract being extended beyond 2017 and it's hard to believe that he will coach on a one year deal.

[ravens rule]

Should've won convincingly but I'd rather get the kinks out defensively before we play Pittsburgh.

I think I said this on here about 6 years ago.  If Harbaugh had another co-coach who was responsible for key decision making at critical moments he might be great.  His ability to coach players is his strength.  His game management, not so much.

The only reason we came back into that game is NE allowed us to get back by fumbling the ball twice. If they don't fumble than we probably lose by 20+

[Steve0x]

They almost lost today. Theres no reason why Flacco should thrown that pass in the 4th quarter when you have the lead. You run the ball let the clock run and kick the field goal. Any Incompetent coach would call that play.

[Somerset Ravens]

Good :  we won.

Bad :  our run defense.

Ugly : our lack football smarts, both coaches and players.

For me, the most disturbing outcome of this game was that our D-line got absolutely owned for the 2nd game in a row. In slightly different way but they got exposed big time last week and today.

I agree, but this weeks was worse because at least with NE you're playing pass more often given that it's a great QB. Wentz was demonstrately terrible today, given that and the weather runs were telegraphed and we still couldn't stop them. They ran on 3rd and mid range and picked it up more often than not.

[sticks999]

The D has had two weeks off now. No excuses at all. Flacco was bad, he certainly is not elite. we probably don't win next week, would be nice, but .  I think it is time to look ahead for our next QB, a pass rusher and a DB. 

[Cillmatic]

We have a TERRIBLE pass rush. We need to fix that in the first round.

[ravensdfan]

I did think of a good thing besides just that we won.

Our offense actually ran a pretty good 2 min offense at the end of the half.

I think we should draft Reuben Foster the LB from Alabama. He is a fast linebacker that can help against the run as well as drop into coverage.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

I question the management, play calling, and overall feel for the game decisions.

This is every week we go through these head scratching decisions, where is the accountability? 

Its like every body just does what the heck they want to, and hopes for the best. Disorganized kaos. 

At some point, somebody that actually knows what they are doing, needs to have a come to Jesus meeting with Flacco, and then with Harbaugh the bystander, for these awful brain fart decisions that occur on a regular basis. Get your heads out of your butts!

An inside slant of all play calls . If Marty called it ,he should absolutely be gone next year . 

[Tank 92]

Did the Ravens win today?   lol
