This is INSANITY
So the Ravens dicked along for 3 quarters until (figuratively) somebody whispered into somebodys ear that they might lose the game - so they opened it up. If that's the way the Ravens are being managed it is absolutely, positively INSANE.
Go out there and open it up from the start of the game and keep it going until the final whistle blows. Don't play down to the opposition - what's the point of that.

Re: This is INSANITY
One of two things here..
A.- They're idiots
B.- They don't trust Flacco enough on the road
I'd be open to other explanations if they make sense.Will Die A Ravens Fan!!

What stood out to me is that player's should not have to tell the coordinator what they should be doing. Passing along some insight as to the minutia of what defenses are doing is an invaluable form of input a coordinator can receive from players. However, a coordinator should not have to be told that the opponent is sitting on out routes because that's all they're running.
That exchange showed me that Cam has a hard time seeing the whole field from the sideline. Pees made the adjustment to the booth, and the D seems to have tightened up or at least shown an ability to adjust.
Just my .02 but I think calling plays from the booth just makes way more sense. I don't know why a coordinator wouldn't want to.

Re: This is INSANITY
Alright, I hate the play calling as much as the next man, but is this article really saying anything?
We got into a little more of a no-huddle, up-tempo type of a dealThey operated almost exclusively out of the shotgun and passed 79 percent of the time in the fourth quarter and overtime

Re: This is INSANITY
Yes. This bothers me a little given our road struggles on offense. I'm kind of flabbergasted at Harbaugh's comment about being forced to open it up a little. That's a headscratcher. Why sleepwalk for 3 quarters and allow the inferior opponent to hang around. We've seen this before.
There's something telling about why the offense plays the way it plays on the road. Yes I get it. We are stilling winning games and that's awesome. There's got to be two underylying issues here. It's either a confidence factor or trust factor. One of these elements is suspect.

Re: This is INSANITY
Harbaugh said he wanted to make it into an AFCN type game (not really sure why though)

Re: This is INSANITY
If you want our offense to go up tempo 100 % of the time even when it doesn't make sense, go root for an NFC South team, or better yet go watch basketball or our version of football.

Re: This is INSANITY
Because this "inferior opponent" ran you out of the gym the last game when you had a much better defense and the Ravens were trying to slow it down this time and keep it close. (And yes, this goes right to "They do not trust Flacco" comment from Fanatic). Harbaugh himself said he wanted this to be an "AFC North" type of game.
Not exactly thrilled with Harbaugh's comments, either...but this is the best I got.

Re: This is INSANITY
Its Bo Schembechler football. Since Harbs and Cameron are disciples, we are going to see that football mentality. I dont agree with it but it does win a lot of games. In Bo's case, he never won the big one. So far Harbs is following that path. I sure hope our fortunes are different.
