Blame Central

[ravensfan2430]

i rarely get extremley bitter but this game made my blood boil



Aweful calls by the refs... (what happened to helmet to helmet penalties)

Aweful play calling by cam... (if flacco is being hurried everytime he snaps the ball do not call plays that take a long time to develope)

Aweful excecution by Flacco....(very dissapointed at the performance for a non rookie) i still love you though


Unfortunate dagger plays at the beginning of the game


At least we got to watch football into January...... and get a crappy draft pick......

It's ok. I am extremely proud of what this team did. I didn't like today's outcome, but hey, they've got a whole offseason to learn.

Stone's penalty... I won't be surprised if he's cut already (game ended about 10 minutes ago)

You know, lets not do this today. The team gave it their all. Thats all we can ask for.

[Troy Smith IS the future..]

Dreadful playcalling...

[BaltimoreRavens4life]

Im proud of this team but jesus.....The steelers made the Ravens look like a video game team , we were about to come back. Im pretty pissed about this game but someone had to lose this game..it was just had to be us...aleast look on the good side , our baseball team the orioles are better than the pirates. : P

He's a ROOKIE and he showed it ALL GAME LONG. Game ended on a very sour note, and Joe and the Ravens were out played, outcoached, and out SCORED. I now know why Joe had been handcuffed most of the season, his decision making is sketchy. I'm not saying it's soley his fault becasue we all know the O line played like absolute Garbage in pass protection. The Defense couldn't shut them down on THIRD AND LONG ALL GAME. I hope the Steelers aren't Kryptonite for The Ravens and Joe Flacco next season. 3 of Flaccos worst games came at the hands of the Steelers, either the game plan was not good, the exectution was not good or Joe was just not good enough.

Come on fellas, it was a GREAT SEASON!!! We were playing with house money the second we got in the playoffs. It hurts I agree, and I still hate the Squeelers, but most of us never expected to be even 8-8 this year.

We have finally found a franchise quarterback who is going to get nothing but better. Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, and possible Scott and Suggs are coming back. We have a great team. We'll be back. Play some golf, enjoy the summer and we'll get back to cracking skulls next season. Pittsburgh will NOT be going to the superbowl next season. We'll make sure of that!!!

GO RAVENS!!

[Bosanac]

poor harbaugh...

0-3 vs the squeelers D:

Darren Stone didnt throw a pick. We were at the 30 anyways, who is to day we wouldve done anything differently. It was obvious from the start flacco wasnt going to beat them, hes just not ready to take the team on his shoulders yet. He'll get there in time.

You're so right my friend. Infact they gave more than their all, when nobody thought they had anything left to give. I still wish that we'd have won.

[H8R]

The "Great Season" comment is played out already. Man this really hurts! Yes, Darren Stone is a complete IDIOT... WHAT A CRAPPY FLIGHT HOME IT'LL BE FOR HIM. He cost us 20+ yards.

That talks about defenseless players and I do not think the refs would consider Willis to have been defenseless. Either way my prayers go out to him and his family.

At your own 40 and at your own 13 is A BIG difference.

[raylewismvp]

if any friggin squileer fan says anything to you tell them that from 2000 on we are tied for superbowl rings go Cardinals! I hate the steelers at the moment. I dont want to make anyone mad I am sorry but ya gonna vent somehow. I am so happy though that we got to Hines Ward and Jen Rothelisberger. I think we played great! Joe Flacco did not perform like I wanted but his numbers are decieving we had a hard time catching the ball they got sloppy interceptions and I OFFICALLY CAN NOT STAND! NFL TODAY! THEY SAID TROY POLAMALU WAS BETTER THAN ED REED!

[NC Ravens Fan]

we had made up that yardage though so i respectfully disagree with the stone costing us the game excuse

But if we dont have that penalty those plays put us in field goal range. So, I respectfully disagree with that assessment.

[funky141]

I'm gald you knocked out Ward... something good came from the game

Darren STOne
Joe Flacco - chocked big time, he better imporve or its hello Troy Smith jk

We were at the 40 and were transferred back to the 14 yard line. The crowd was dead silent before the penalty, which was a major factor during that last relevant drive. It was one of the biggest momentum changes of the game.

the momentum gathered for the steelers after the penalty was devastating

[raylewismvp]

you know were about to get bombarded by the squileers right? We have 1 more battle that is beating these fans haha

[SuggsNotDrugs]

I hope Burger (the steeler's punter) is in stable condition after that vicious shot he took for the roughing the kicker call. My heart dropped to my stomach when I saw him get outright hammered by Edgar Jones. That was one of the most vicious and uncalled for shots I've ever seen in the NFL! Thankfully it didn't lead to points, but i'm really just glad to see that Burger didn't get severely injured

[ravenandrei]

what the heck was with the game plan? We come out and throw 3 straight times? Running the ball got us there. We don't really have a deep threat guy and we kept trying to go down field. They did nothing to protect Joe and get him into the game. We should have run some short routes and and screen plays to help with all the pressure on Joe. Then Stone OMG. I would cut that guy tonight. How do you make a stupid a#@ play like that??

LOL. This made me smile, while I am in an otherwise dismal mood. Great acting job by the punter. He should win an Emmy.

No to mention the roughing the kicker call on the Ravens. Our player never even touched the kicker
