Finally saw a complete pass on a... wait for it... come back pass!

The silver lining is that now that Ravens fans have had their hearts broken two weeks in a row, no one is going to get apoplectic if (as looks increasingly likely) they don't win another game all season.

D-line as a whole looked good in Suggs' absence.

The one thing that has killed the offense this season (minus coaching) is the o-line. Oher needs to go.

Joe stands in the pocket toooooooo long and got stripped, intercepted and sacked. Blame Cam if you want but the ball was in Joe's hand. The Ravens stall all starts with JOE! And yes Oher needs something.

Are either of these positives? If Oher sucks, why bring him back AT ALL?

Yep, that 121 rating today was horrible. He sucks. Get rid of him.

Another silver lining, if you want to call it that:

With no chance at the 2nd seed realistically (not mathematically) and I have no doubt we'll still win the AFCN, we don't have to worry about winning out/tie breakers (to an extent).

We'll be playing WC weekend and at least we'll be hosting.

Joe was throwing the ball as he got hit. I don't know what any QB could do in that situation. Oher didn't even get his hands on the guy. The play looked a lot like this one...

There is actually a silver lining.. I went and read some posts on Steeler Addicts.. The Steelers got 34 laid on them at home, and a bunch of the fans are blaming the refs. Funny stuff on a disappointing day.

My God, other QBs have sack fumbles? What trickery is this? Impossible!

But yeah, the defender made a great play. Flacco got to the top of his drop and was unloading the ball on time... Oher simply HAS to SLOW THE GUY DOWN. He didn't even do that.
