THE UGLY: Jimmy Smith bites on a double move more frequently than Charlie Brown falls for the same kicking trick from Lucy. There’s a reason he never supplanted Cary Williams as the starter prior to Lardarius Webb’s injury. They can sell us on his great measurables until they are purple in the face but either one of two things is happening: 1) Smith doesn’t care enough to prepare well because falls for the same playground stop-and-go or; 2) he’s just not very smart. Either way he is beginning to smell like a first round bust…

Joe Flacco’s road woes continue and while Cam Cameron deserves a ton of the blame for No. 5’s wretched performance, this game is unquestionably a black mark on the QB’s resume. Talk about telegraphing where you are going with the football! Joe’s new nickname should be “Morse.” Here’s a staggering number – Flacco’s QB Rating at home this season is 106.5 while on the road, he’s at 55.8. The Ravens average 32.3 points per game at home; 15.1 on the road…

The Ravens were 4 of 15 on third down conversions while allowing the Texans to convert 8 of 15. Total net yards: 176. And you know it’s bad when you think the defense was better against the run yet they still surrendered 181 yards of real estate on the ground.

Cam Cameron, are you kidding me? This guy is such a sucker for a double man zone defense; refuses to throw the ball to the middle of the field; ignores his best offensive player (9 rushes for Ray Rice); continually throws to the right outside the numbers despite double coverage and despite the fact that Wade Phillips rolled defenders into Flacco’s throwing lane time and again, batting down passes over and over and over.

Too often the Ravens didn’t have enough blockers to account for the Texans blitz even leaving Conner Barwin UNTOUCHED when dropping back into the end zone to throw. Cameron’s offense is a dinosaur and the only time it shines is when Flacco is on fire and that only happens at M&T Bank Stadium. There’s little reason to think this will change because as much as they want to say how much more dynamic the Ravens offense is, it’s still skippered by a guy who does the same things the same way over and over while expecting different results. That is defined as insanity and keeping this guy around is exactly that!

Here's my Good, Bad & The Megan Fox HERE if you feel so inclined.
