Hey OriginalColtsFan

I hate to bust on Flacco but he did have a crappy game. Bad O line or not, He threw the pick 6 and dropped the ball on the QB sneak.

On the other hand, if we had flacco during the boller years we would have won a Superbowl or two with that defense.

^^^^This.

Just wondering: on an interception where the defender had to run 98 yards for a TD how come only the QB was in pursuit? Was it too much to expect the backs and receivers to try and get him?

Boldin was spiking his imaginary TD catch!

Flacco is probably faster than Boldin.

Flacco was the closest person to him. Everyone else was in the end zone. I'm pretty sure everyone else made an attempt but that didn't show up on camera because they were so far behind the play

Boldin was RIGHT behind the defender when the interception was made. I did not see him on the replay even trying to get him. I realize he is no Torrey Smith but it doesnt look like he even made an effort.

The guy intercepted the ball on the fly while Boldin was standing still to make the catch. the guy already had about 10 yards before Boldin could get going. No way anyone but Flacco had a shot at that guy. Not to mention Boldin isn't known for his speed

Team loss.

"d" played better than I thought it would. Still gave up 27 points.

"o" was awful. Line was bad, didn't block, Joe was bad, receivers looked like they were out of step. Anquan looked pissed at everyone. T Smith got hurt. Other than the Texans game, as bad a loss as I've seen.

The team needs some draft help in the offseason on "D". I still think we need to draft a top QB to push Joe. His play was unacceptable and reminded me at times of Boller!

And what does it matter? You're in a position where you cannot turn the ball over and we throw one of most dangerous passes you can throw.

And we always seem to go left in that situation. Why not play action with Rice that way and have Flacco bootleg right with say Leach slipping out in front of him. Joe has the option to toss to LEach or run in it based on the coverage. And if neither looks viable, tell him to throw it away. NO TURNOVER here!

Are you serious? I thought it was the stupid play calling by Cam that was the problem? Now it is the play book? At what point do we say Flacco is just too inconsistent? I guess we can blame Cam and then next year Caldwell or Harbaugh. People say flacco just needs to work on his internal clock and his footwork and...etc. Ok. How many more years does it take to work on his issues? I mean it's been five years. Do we just need to be patient for three more years to give him time to work on his problems? People blame the offensive line but OCF knows how to scheme around this problem by throwing many screens to rice which will render the pass rush useless but cam didn't know that and now Caldwell doesn't know that. Why can't these coaches see what OCF sees? I mean with all this nfl and college experience these coaches have, they don't know screens to rice will render the pass rush useless like OCF knows? I bet OCF has never worked in the nfl as a coach and he seems to know more than them. Also, I learned from OCF that we need to throw a lot of slants to keep the defense on their toes. Oh, and Flacco needs more shot gun plays.

Talking about screens/draw plays why can't the Ravens run them with success? When they run those plays they look terrible its like the defense knows they are coming. I agree those plays should neutralize the pass rush but the Ravens can't run them successfully why not?

I don't about that. The defense has been pretty good since Joe has been here and they've come closer than ever, but not all the way. Look at all the years Indy had Peyton Manning. They compiled win after win and they have the same amount of Superbowls as us.

How many games has Flacco thrown a pic-6 in his career? How many times has he ever had multiple interceptions in one game? He does have a problem with fumbles; some of it is his fault while some lay on the OL's shoulders. Yesterday I watched the Ravens game and took note of Flacco's pocket time; Last night, I did the same for Brady (I DVRd both games). It is night and day. What a difference an good OL makes.

And a good OC. And good WRs/TEs/RBs. (And knowing how to use them and get them all touches.)

Joe stared down his receiver on the pick 6. It was gift wrapped.

Yes he did. And I think he should be made to stay after school and bang erasers!!!

Discuss.

Put Brady or Peyton behind the Ravens OL and they would be in traction and then retire.
