Hauschka chokes!

No doubt Stover makes that kick.

Cudos to the Ravens though they played a tough game and almost won. Unfortunately the secondary was exposed again and wins might be few and far in between because of it unless they make some changes.

Well, our team is definitely moving on, at 3-3. Great effort to come back like that, just to have the kicker choke.

If we had a D it would not even have been an issue. Although we did screw up releasing the rookie with the big leg

**OriAl** · 10-18-2009, 04:41 PM

Stover likely would have kicked it straight.

From the beginning, I wanted Gano AND Stover - use a slot, damn it. It just cost us a game.

Anyone miss Matt Stover yet ? This is the 1st game it cost us.

Inside a dome this was an easy FG for Matt Stover.

Yeah, would have kept McClain off the field to screw up that TD too...

Why didn't they try to make it a closer kick? Flacco was lights out at that time, and they run it up the middle with Rice once then kill the clock all the way to 2 seconds? 44 yards isn't automatic for anyone - especially a young kicker who has never been in that pressure situation before.

Are you always so positive?

How do you know how someone will perform if they've never done it before...

Stover is fucking gone and people need to get over it. Hauschka missed and we didn't win....but he certainly didn't cost us the game...the Defense did!

Being "positive" has nothing to do with it. Players make plays, he didn't. The Ravens would've won the game.

This team has obvious flaws; to miss that kick really hurts w/ this team moving ahead. Remember this team has/had aspirations of making the SB, and with each loss that likelihood becomes less likely.
