Defense stinks, Joe had a bad day and drop passes.....

[durango46]

as simple as that

beaten by a dinosaur......

the defense couldn't stop his old arse


and NO Show Joe reared his ugly head

Batch > Fluncco


oh great coaching to......pissing away those timeouts

[CIB]

Disagree with most of that.

But I will say both Flacco and Harbaugh had their DERPY moments this game.
It was rather retarded.
I can't for the life of me figure out why Harbaugh threw that challenge when every freaking replay showed very clearly he wasn't going to win it. There goes one time out.
Flacco's time out was kinda early too.
Poor clock management.

Then there's Flacco holding on waay too long to the ball and getting stripped.

While there were several drops of very catchable balls by the receivers and the defense wasn't at its best at times, I do think poor clock managment lost this for us as much as anything else.

This is a 5-7 team that's 9-3.

I agree on all counts. The Steelers took advantage of the Ravens' lack of execution.

[Bmore]

yep, the winning by the skin of our teeth and mediocre play finally caught up to us.

[spretog]

ravens are as good as they will ever be with flacco at QB. he is average at best. will never win the super bowl.

I disagree with you on all counts.

[terpmaniac]

Brady would have beaten Batch, Eli would have so would have Peyton, Brees, Rivers, Big Ben and Schaub..not Flacco. Not Joe Flacco. No Joe you are NOT elite.

[durango46]

Flacco under pressure wets the bed

it's like a bad nightmare when he plays the Steelers

[spretog]

disagree all u want,right now luck and griffin are better than flacco.

[durango46]

I guess I'm the village idiot because coming into this game

I thought the Ravens were the better team.....by a wide margin

[confused fan]

Harbaugh has been outcoached once again. Flacco has played his way out of a contract.

Bisciotti may have to consider different options if he wants to win a Superbowl while Brady, Manning, Belichick , Tomiln, and Roethlisberger is in the league. If he wants to make the playoffs or have a winning record and that’s it, keep things the same.

Other than the offensive line, Ozzie has stocked the team with talent at most positions. Its hard to have confidence in the offensive with Cameron, and Harbaugh. Until a change is made, not ready to write Flacco of completely. Might be time to bring in a back-up to challenge him (like Vick at a nice price).

[spretog]

no we were outplayed and outcoached by a better team with a third string qb at home.

[durango46]

IMO, Flacco and Spam...I mean Cam need to get a divorce

I want to see Flacco with the different OC...only then will we know if he has what it takes

[spretog]

right now we are the fifth best team in the afc. we will win wild card round game at home then lose in next round to whoever we play.but,but ,but joe made the playoffs so i guess we should all be satisfied.and making playoffs isnt guaranteed!

What a nasty way to lose a completely winnable game!! Dean Pees sticks to his prevent defense strategy against a 3rd rate QB, in Batch, and allows him to look like Tom Brady, with no significant pressure or blitzing. We see how well our 'bend but don't break' strategy works! Go Dean!

Harbaugh does his best to look confused, and mis-manage our clock and timeouts every week...this being one of his all time worst! What exactly is John doing on the sideline anyway? I am never quite sure.

Cam Cameron manages to have short flashes of brilliance, followed by confusing play calls, and constantly wanting to go into a shell and run the clock on running plays, or throw the occasional 'Hail Mary' to Torrey....which rarely works. Cam's uneven offensive game management ends up killing us every year, in spite of our talent, and excellent emotional play!! WHEN will they finally rid us of this offensive talent destroyer? Please get a HC job Cam...Please!!!!!

Joe, as much as I love his grit, and coolness under pressure, gets TOO cool, and puts the ball in jeopardy too frequently...both by holding it too casually and too long...and by just heaving the ball long regularly hoping for a miraculous catch. Joe, you just have to stay alert, and stop thinking you have a horseshoe up your #*%#.

Every single game this year, save for a one or two, has been excruciating, and difficult to watch. If this were really representative of our talent level, I would not be upset. We HAVE the talent, and the desire. Our coaches should take a long, hard look in the mirror, and come up with some answers about THEIR play! Our players deserve much better than this!!!

Sorry for the rant, but this is inexcusable stuff, and our coaches need to step up and take some responsibility for the mess we have been, this year...and last.

[gscaton1]

When you think we can't lose a game like we lost before something tops this. Can't believe the defense made this quarterback look like Tom Brady, where are the defensive backs and the pass rush. He had all day. Joe had a bad day, but Tory Smith did not have one of his best days dropping passes and others as well. Just plain disappointing, very upsetting.

[OriginalColtsFan]

Yep. That pretty much sums it all up right there.

[LarryN]

Harbaugh had gone entirely too long without wasting a challenge (and a time out) on a play that was really clear. It was time.

[OriginalColtsFan]

LTNS, Tommy. Keep 'em comin!! Good stuff, man.
