I agree we played well, but Cam really dropped the ball with the play calling at the very end. Run Rice for 2 yards then let the clock run down? A pressure filled 46 yard kick in a loud ass stadium is tough, even for a veteran like Stover. I feel like the Rice play should have been a 10 yard pass or so and made the kick more reasonable. Mason owns the sideline routes, why not try that? I just can't believe we ran Rice on that 2nd down.Quote:

I said before they have to pass to open up the run but first 3 quarters they ran ran pass. And eventually pas pas run which opened the run up good. Tough loss but we got the BYE. Lets regroup and get this party started.
Agreed.Quote:

I've got one question?
Why on earth is Frank Walker covering Sidney Rice one on one on their last drive?
I'm gonna get chewed out, but I hated the settling on the long field goal. ther ewas time to rattle off another pass, even if it only gained a few yards it could have made a difference.
Oh well. Ifs and buts. That's a heartbreaker.
I want to have Joe Flacco's children.
The bottom line is we would all be happy right now if the kicker makes that kick. The offense and defense played like dog shit for a good part of the game, but they did what they needed to do to give us a chance to win in the end.
The 3 and out before the last TD was clutch by the D, the offense was clutch the whole fourth quarter. The only member of the team that is not a football player lost this game for us. You can go back and say the D played like shit and the O was bad in the first half, but that would all be a moot point if the kicker does his ONE job and makes that kick. It's disgusting.
I wouldn't "chew you out", but I think the playcall was fine. The only pass you really could have done was into the endzone with little time left. And why risk an interception in the endzone?Quote:

Can't fault Flacco at all can we, he was awesome today - especially at the end. If we can shore up the secondary we'll be ok, but thats a HUGE if.Quote:

ONE ON ONE NO LESS.Quote:

With 20 seconds left they had more than enough time to complete a short/intermediate pass then spike the ball. You figure most plays take 6-9 seconds, even if they are slow to spike it they would have still had a few seconds left.Quote:
