Ravens best bet is to keep at it, blitzing here and there. The coverage has been great and needs to stay that way for any chance.

Kruger, McPhee, and Suggs have done a good job on the edge.

Keep in mind that they re-signed Max Starks at LT and he's not great, but he's a lot better than Jonathan Scott, who was out there during week 1.

Pagano needs to mix it up and put Suggs on the opposite side from time to time and let him work against Marcus Gilbert, who is a rookie.

D is playing well. Just need to capitalize on those opportunities. Pollard and McClain dropped easy INT's.

It makes me feel better to reflect on the calls THEY didn't get.

The non-call on Webb (?) in the end zone was huge.

We might be too dangerous for them to let us hang around this long at home. I feel positive right now.

(furiously knocking on wood right now)

Just checked facebook and the steeler nation is bitching about refs... Soon as we get that td from the first play back, maybe ill hear them out.

**PGCountyRaven85** · 11-06-2011, 11:15 PM

We need someone to step up and make a play

**Rosdaman** · 11-06-2011, 11:15 PM

And yeah they are doing a hell of a job picking up blitzes. Coverage has been pretty damn good overall considering the time they've had to throw -- some of those "extended plays" were still defended by the secondary -- don't see that a lot.
