GAME THREAD - Ravens/Vikes (Preseason)

Hi guys,
Sorry I'm late - been busy all day. We're down 17-7 to the Vikings, mainly because Walker and Ivy have been useless.

Troy looks pretty good though, and Ray Rice is dominating. GO RAVENS!!

1st, from the 36, give to Rice for 3 up the middle.
2nd and 7, WOW. Troy eludes 2 sackers, and Troy makes some STELLAR moves to scramble for 18 and into Vikes territory! Unbelievable moves.

1st from the 42, give to Rice, swallowed up, gain of 1.
2nd and 9, 4 wide, Smith is sacked back at the Ravens 45. Ouch. Allen just bulled Slaughter back. Wasn't ready for it.
3rd and 21, TO taken.

1st and 10, holding on a miscued play.
1st and 20, incomplete pass for Bollinger.
2nd, dropped pass for Dugan.
Minnesota takes a TO. 2:01 left.

3rd and 20, draw to Hicks, eaten up by Barnes. Punt team coming on - Troy gets a 2 minute drill.

I'm here.

Getting a refresher on what crappy defense looks like. I don't like what I see.

:read (note - "Read" should be viewed as the past tense here, not the imperative.)

Figurs gets to midfield, but the Ravens jumped offside. Rekick.

Gets them to the 40 after the rekick.

1st, shotgun, pass thrown slightly behind Clayton, tipped up and into Sharper's hands, returned to the 25. Honestly, catchable ball though, it was in his arms. Coulda been thrown better.

Troy gets hit for a low block personal foul? Weak call.

Kick is good for the Vikes, 20-7. Halftime.

Good work by JJ and Bart on that last series of the half.

Hey guys. I'm here. I decided to stay home tonight. Man I am glad I did.

Sephy that was a horribly thrown ball. I watched it again. he threw it behind Clayton, who had to almost turn around.

He can definately run. But we need someone who can run and throw. The dude just can't throw consistently. Starting to remind me of Michael Vick. You can't run an offensive with 5 pass attempts the whole half.

And once again, our offensive line SUCKS!!!

Who's #76? Interesting look with the shaved scalp and long beard - makes him look like a Knight Templar.

Probably doesn't smell like one, however - part of their code was to never bathe. Couple that with living your life fighting in the desert, and ... ick.

Sorry for the randomness.
