the only issue was the Line. It wasnt Flacco holding the ball too long. The only one i can honestly say that about was when ed dickson falls down, but it was the right play to tuck it and take it than throw a ball to a downed receiver.

Atlanta ran delayed blitzes up the middle to take advantage of our rookie center.
It worked very well of course. So, when the Ravens tried to shore that up by concentrating more in the middle, that's when they started coming around the edges.
Our rookie center will learn on the job quickly or they will put Boren in there to keep Joe healthy through the preseason. He was taking too many hits too early in the year.

Matt Ryan was picking on Gorrer and then noticed that Williams was not turning his head around to make a play on the ball so he just found the best mismatch between those two and primarily kept away from Reed and Webb.
With White and Jones, Ryan can pick and choose.

So, yes, we stink.
We have no chance.
Will any veterans make it through September?
Who can we draft next year with the first pick?

There you guys go providing factual analysis on a tongue in cheek thread!!! Boo!!!

...man those refs were awful.

The refs this week should be a wake up call for the NFL to get their shit together with the NFL Ref's Association ASAP.

I hope everyone got the tongue in cheek thread.

AHAHA the refs said Arizona I think twice and the speaking official had a shaky voice (nerves).

We have no chance this year.

Its not Flacco that's cause for concern - its the playcalling (and the O line) for the 1st three series. Seems to me the offensive coordinater bears some of the responsibility for that.

im not sure what pointing out the elites playing bad is when ours played good to begin with.

What's Tony Banks doing nowadays?

He had a strong arm--perfect for the Coryell--and he's only 39. And wasn't he the other reason, along with Dilfer, that we won that Super Bowl?
