Re: Stop throwing to Boldin- too slow with bad hands.
Well, I've been saying all year long that Boldin might not be back in 2013 but he may have made himself indispensable today.
He doesn't separate from man coverage on the outside, but Boldin is still a monster in the slot working the middle of the field and he can still catch contested passes downfield. Obviously he was helped by seeing Cassius Vaughn and Darius Butler instead of Vontae Davis, but he still had a monstrous individual performance. I still think the Ravens have no choice but to try to reduce Boldin's cap number somehow next year.
The other takeaways from today's game in terms of the WRs... Torrey Smith is still inconsistent, and most of all the Ravens have nothing at #3 WR. Jacoby Jones needs to focus on the RS job, and Tandon Doss was just absolutely terrible catching the ball today. I mean, he was HORRIBLE. 4 targets, 0 catches, 3 drops. I still want the Ravens to add a WR in next year's draft if only to upgrade at #3 WR.

Re: Stop throwing to Boldin- too slow with bad hands.
He had some fantastic block but wasn't a game breaker catching the ball. He couldn't separate at all downfield from Vontae Davis and dropped a pass as well. He also had a great fade throw for a TD but he looked like he lost track of the sidelines and went out of bounds.
I just think that he's not consistent enough to be anything more than a very good #2 WR. I did like seeing him used on crossing patterns, he got 22 yards on a deep crosser where he had to make a spectacular catch on a high throw.
The Ravens need to get another outside WR who can win vs. man coverage, runs good routes, and consistently catches the football. I thought Doss could be that guy but he was soooo freaking bad today.
