And a sack.

This was the worst 2 minute offense in the history of the NFL.

What pisses me off more than the loss is that the team gave up. Don't anyone try to tell me otherwise. This offense packed it in and stopped trying.

Mson ran an 8 yard curl on that last play...i didn't even see a raven in the endzone? not that i think they could win but

Why were we throwing 5 yard outs when we needed two scores. Awful performance.

I don't want to hear about the playoffs. The playoffs are too good for us.

The rest of this season needs to be about fixing this team so we can play more than 1 friggin game of good football.

It's about management of personnel. I understand that some people might not be familiar with the finer points of leadership and coaching personnel.

What's worse is that none of the 5 yard outs were open.

BRING ON THE DRAFT!! It's just too painful to watch this team anymore - penalties, lack of discipline, lack of a sense of urgency, etc, etc In some ways, it looks like Billick ball.

**Dade** · 12-08-2009, 01:09 AM

This was an embrassment to say the least... I dont even know where to begin. This team is a joke. Play like a Raven my ass.

**StingerNLG** · 12-08-2009, 01:11 AM

I cant get over the offense leisurely walking to the line of scrimmage with just over a minute to go in the game.

Like they just didn't fucking care.

Someone explain to me how this offense helps get us to 10 wins?

**ravenjoe** · 12-08-2009, 01:15 AM

The way this O-line has been performing, and our lack of pass rush/pass coverage, this team is lucky to get 10 wins - I predict the Stillers will deal the final death blow on this futile season.

So should we bench Ray Lewis for the 15 yard facemask penalty that kept the Packers drive alive?

Should we bench Webb because he committed a PI penalty?

If you are playing to win the game, you don't bench Joe until he's playing so badly that no amount of help his teammates give him can save his performance. When the OL played well and receivers got open, Joe began to get into his rhythm. He made some big mistakes at the end, and he needs to correct that, but he's also just a 2nd year QB. This isn't a guy like Rodgers who had 3-4 years to learn under a master class QB, then get out and work his own brand of magic.

I get what you are saying, but I don't think "temporary benching" is the management style that will fix this team.

No single action will fix this or any other team. To each their own.
