Hopefully this isn't the start of another skid after starting 6-2.

Another game where a couple guys with good new contracts didn't do a damn thing. I mean hell, we just made Flacco look like Brady, it was the defense and the guy coordinating it who ran the same old garbage in the second half that was just burnt to shreds in the first half.

what sucks is their offense was so ****ing predictable... run, run, lob pass = 1st down. just pathetic.

Now to his credit we did just pay them back for last year, but this game is a perfect example, we did the same thing all game and got burnt just about every pass. Did we change the way we we're covering? Not at all, just keep letting our CB's get exposed. Gay has played well until this game, I don't want to totally count him out since he actually did well against Brady, but that's no excuse for playing the same old plan that isn't stopping the same old play. Ridiculous

"...other than Ben's interception..." ???
You obviously forgot to mention that "cowardly" failed FG attempt , also by our Offense, which helped LOSE the game.

Our "D" utterly destroyed Brady and his Pat's for the rest of the season.
I'd say, it's closer to "even"
. But since LeBeau is worth a hundred A(ss)riens?, naaa, it was more the Offense that blew it tonite.

Disagree, but the play calling on offense at the end sucked too.

I will take these two losses IF we can beat them in the playoffs. I believe we can if we could just play a solid game on both sides of the ball. I wouldnt mind losing in the playoffs if we could knock the raturds out.

I guess the defense busting their asses all game and giving the ball to the offense with a chance to at least make it a touchdown lead wasn't enough. Some fan's expect our defense to win every important game for us.

You know what I would have loved to see? I would have greatly enjoyed the sight of our defense all simultaneously lying down and allowing Baltimore to score. Maybe then it'd become apparent to our offensive unit that they need to pull their own weight!

Those of you who blame our defense for giving up 92 yards in that final drive are ignorant, and that's my honest opinion. Our offense is the reason we lost this game. A first down on offense prevents all four first down's put up by the Ravens in the final drive from happening.

Would you trade four opposing first downs, for a game clinching first down by the good guys?

right now it's just about getting there first.. i'd love to get another shot at them with Woodley and a full compliment of receivers. seems like every time we play them, they are in perfect health and we're not.

My point is. Our offense didn't execute when it needed to. Our defense is pulling it's weight plus the weight of Ben and that fat defensive line worthy David Johnson at the end of this game.

I expect 50% of all nfl defenses including our own will be able to stop a 90 plus yard drive to win a game.
