Dumb playcall to alex lewis. The only reason I still even care is because I have us covering 12 points on the parlay but we cant even do that. Truly expected a better farewell to SSS.

 

I think everyone has.  Except Joe doesn't have the ability to do that.  

[balfan23]

Only fitting that we finish the season with 3 red zone failures and 0 successes. 

[ellicottraven]

Why is Joe only targeting Pitta regardless of the drops he's had? Unreal! Target SSS man! At least he'll go out the right way.

I hate to say this but part of this team looks like it has quit on the coach.

I can't wait.  If they cut him today, I celebrate tomorrow.

Celebrate fighting the browns for last place 

[robbie29]

I wouldn't be surprised if Smith Sr holds off retirement one more year and signs with New England next year

[hn68wb4]

Genuinely, if they score again this drive I'm turning this game off and heading back over to the draft section.

I agree with your assessment. I've been thinking that as well.

Its amazing every single drive you hear the broadcast crew talk about how flacco has no time and even when he does no ones open anyway but yet people continue to bash him. I guess he has to run routes catch the ball and also block for his self to. People have no football intelligence what so ever. What's hilarious to me is flacco will be here for years to come and you unintelligent flacco haters have to deal with it or go bandwagon another team lol get over it

They've also mentioned his lack of playmakers and a system that is just a horrible fit for him, but it's all Flacco's fault.

I thought you were going to say Lewis was on your fantasy league as a tackle eligable receiver...lol

[jdynamite]

See this drives me crazy. Just forcing passes to Pitta who is not that great after the catch.  Meanwhile Waller, Boyle, Perriman, Moore all could be seeing this action. 

This offense is so bad because it throws so many short passes but maybe 1 out of 10 is a pass in stride where guys have a chance to make something happen.

I swear this conservative offensive game plan we've had for years...when we finally get to the end zone we don't know what to do down there...it is like we are in foreign territory!

 

Flacco throws over +20 yards is the worst in NFL this year.   

I think the only thing Flacco is thinking about right now is to prevent himself from throwing another INT.   That is the best he can do atm.

I said earlier, it kinda makes you wonder if Pitta would be retiring, instead of SSS lol.

[reed20]

Well theres doom

[ellicottraven]

99th Sack for Doom!

[JO_75]

Guess at 8-8, it would give us a higher draft pick while costing the Bengals draft picks by them winning the game. At least try to make it a game in the fourth quarter.

[metalraven]

Was that sack? Forgot what those looked like.

Seriously.  Not only the players, but the coaches as well.  Steve Smith is one of the only ones playing with any heart out there.

But Doom hasn't.  :-)

[balfan23]

As if it wasn't already time ... time to get Joe off the field. Just want to see us play with someone other than him just for a few drives. 

[metalraven]

Cool! Ravens will get the ball back to either throw a pick, or to lay another egg in the red zone. Awesome!!

[terrynjulia03]

Of course Joe forces it to Pitta again. Need to release him and force Joe to look at other options. 

[Edgar]

Defense shuts Cinch out in third quarter.

How is it though that Joe can't get the ball to a wide out to save his life?  

Zuttah Ducasse Hurst no time to throw

But I thought your 'boy' had 'passion' no?  

You know that quiet passion where he throws multiple INTs or play like crap.

He relies way too much on his lifeline.  He gets tunnel vision when it comes to Pitta.

I will say though, Pitta is actually getting some YAC today which has been virtually unheard of all year.

[jdynamite]

I really would have liked them to start Urshel at center in second half to see how he fares. We know the inconsistency that is Zuttah already. Regardless of the nonsense that PFF grades
