[News] Byrne Identity: Haunting, Excruciating; Tough Loss To Get Over

[Rav'n Maniac]

I don't feel that the Brown catch was a great play at all. Weddle and Mosley had his momentum stopped there. The refs could have blown the play dead at that spot but they allowed the play to go on for a couple seconds in which he was able to reach. It just wasn't meant to be.

I question Joe Flacco because the Ravens are not in the playoffs because of a 4 game loosing streak to teams we should have beaten! They were all winnable except for the skins they beat us! You need a run game no doubt but teams are winning in the air Slinging that Rock but everyone wants to slow the game down and run on 1st and 2nd pass on 3rd and punt keeping the game tight instead of opening it up! Get over the squeelers game they just finally won PERIOD!
PS Do the Ravens need to put squeelers helmets on every team they play it seems to be the only time Joe gets motivated? ! I can't believe we're not in the playoffs I keep pinching myself! SMDH

You are barking up the wrong tree. Stop blaming Flacco for everything that goes wrong. There are other players on this team. There were several games where one thing or another caused the loss. Get over it and move on.

For what we pay Joe Flacco he deserves the lion's share of blame. I mean Really he is a 9 year veteran and why are we talking basic mechanics? Back foot lobs, poor clock management, over throws/under throwing receivers? Come on man!

Speak for yourself. I know we are much better than mediocre.

Sorry mom but 8-8 or 9-7 is the definition of mediocre. You are what your record says you are. We will get em next year.

if we drafted RAMSEY instead of STANLEY we win against PITT.some silly,early mock drafts have us picking a running back?? i say,QB and CB.

We didnt have a choice but even if we did I'd still take Stanley over Ramsey. There is a reason Tackles consistently are drafted in the top 5 year after year. Didnt we lose every game stanley was out for? Thats an impact player. Franchise LT, check! We also managed to actually choose one that can play. Many, many top 5 LT's end up playing guard or not at all. Stanley was a great choice and I for one am glad he os a Raven.

While otherwise I'd agree....  It's my opinion...  and yes you had Sizzle, Smith, and Flacco; three of the best players coming off major injuries.  Considering that and many other scenarios, I wouldn't call us mediocre for the very fact of that and that with all of the newer, better players like Wallace, Perriman, and Weddle, Tavon, and others on Defense, and Sizzle's torn biceps, we were a much better team than what our record said.  TIME to meld together...  Time to get the chemistry going...  We had all the potential, and still do to be much better than what the record said.  THAT is why I say we were a better team than what the 9-7 says...  Teams have gone to the playoffs with that record, and have won it all...  with that record.  Just sayin.

Whats bad was the way Ravens lost. Just like the Raiders game. Now Ravens are going into the off season needing the same players as last year. Pass Rusher, CB, returner, and a No1 receiver. As for 8-8 or 9-7, Ravens are playing more teams with winning records.

I'm still not over this loss. We should be playing for the AFC North title tomorrow.
