Playoffs !! Ravens at Dolphins Official Game Thread

Definatley need a bigtime WR in the offseason, and some more pass rushers. Terrell Suggs or Bart Scott?

Need to solidify the OL more as well.

I just don't want to think about Penny costing us the game after the year he has had but as of right now there is one reason we are losing and that is Penny. Sad but this team is really good at halftime adjustments so lets see what happens. Its clear the Baltimore offense can't really score so its all going to be up to the offense to not let the defense score. To think it would be 6-3 without the pick 6...man that was huge. :pity:

Plus Jets fans will be intolerable with their "I told you so" talk.

Why didnt our O work on defending INT returns at all btw? The lines some of them took to tackle Reed were hideous, that should not have been a TD.

They are out of practice that is for sure... only what 7 times this season?

They need to quit hyping Flacco. If the Ravens had anythin of a quarterback right now, this would be a 24-3 game.

Can't really agree with that.

He's done what his team has asked him to do (avoid costly turnovers and help move the chains) and that 40-yard completion at the end of the half was extremely impressive. It put the Ravens in position to take a two-score lead and is the kind of throw that only a handful of quarterbacks can make.

the first pick, anyone think Ted is partially at fault?? He was open... CP threw it too far outside, but it did touch Ted's hands... Cutler would be upset, LOL...

Yeah its Ted Ginn's fault not PEnningtons fault for Overthrowing 5'10 Ted Ginn Jr.

I'm so ****ing pissed off right now.

WHY?

Dont you know?

Your not 'allowed' to get pissed off at this team until maybe 3...4...5...years or whatever down the line because they arent supposed to be here, they were supposed to go 2-14...:rolleyes:

ummm pretty sure he is trying, not to sure what you are getting at? He has put pressure on flacco, and no one else has helped him.

well I got here a bit late, had to work earlier but I saw the last quarter and Flacco was literally in the backfield fixing a sandwich watching some tv and ordering a beer in the time he had to throw. I'll blame the entire D but theres not much of a point of having the sacks he has all year if he can't pressure a rookie Qb in a playoff game.

Let's not play the second half then since they are godly and can't be beaten.

Let's not use the other games we've seen this season as a guide, let's just go on blind homerism.

It's ten points, if you want to give up go ahead. All we need is one score and it's anyones game once again.

Whether I give up or not has no bearing on the outcome of the game. If we win, I'll be ecstatic, but at this point I'll also be shocked. We're playing to lose.

The interior of our OL is playing horrible! On that 3rd and long play when we were backed up in their territory in the 2nd., Satele just stood there and did absolutely nothing and let R. Lewis, I believe it was, just come right in untouched. I'm done with him. The Satele experiment should be done with after this year. What a joke and the pass rush..Pssh! I'm not a happy camper now, but I still haven't lost the faith yet. =)

It should have been the RG actually not Satele. Satele was manned up, but the guard should have chipped Lewis and went to his assignment. He just let Ray walk by.

Okay people - relax. I'm THRILLED to just be in the playoffs, win or lose. We can still hold our heads up high. No arguing with each other in this thread please.

I must confess here. The entire week as I read Ravens' fans posts, I bank on one thing not happening again. Terrell Suggs got the INT for the TD in the first matchup. Ed Reed got it this time.

My theory for this game was shot by that one play. We could not afford to make that mistake. We still have 30 minutes to play but I am now doubting success. This game should be 6-3 just as in the last matchup it should have been a one score game BEFORE we were in a desperate 4th quarter situation.

It's a two score game and that doesn't bode well for our offense versus this defense. The game was about OUR defense versus THEIR defense. That interception changed the game.

It's not fair to discount Reed INT, and take those points away. If McClain does not put it on the ground we're up by alot more.

And THAT is what seperates teams, what are we going to do at half time?

Down by 10...:omg:

We'll be okay.

Just need our playmakers to step it up.

Amazing what some momentum will do.

Don't give up guys. This season has had too much magic to give up on this team now.

We can do this!

Agreed

The official play clock is kept on the field, not on those clocks in the stadium.

Sorry fellas, but you're off base on this.

Penny needs to settle down, right now, our Oline is a bit on their heels, we will know what the 2nd half will be like in the first couple of plays...

True, if we go three & out ... it'll get ugly really quick

If you give up it means that you have no heart whatsoever and you should probably find another team to root for in that case. You have no faith in your own team when they have done so much for you this season.

They DESERVE some faith in them right now. Even if it's only for 30 more minutes this season.

Throwing personnel aside, they're still a 2-dimensional offense right now. We're not. We can't run the ball. And that is asking for big trouble against that defense.

Whats going on with pennington? quit throwing it to the purple jersey guys already! haha

You guys would see ALOT of f-bombs coming from Cutler's mouth if it was Cutler who threw that :lol:

our playmakers can't really do anything with these dump off passes.

It was actually funny in a sick way. The guard turned and looked at Ray as he went straight passed him with that 'Crap' look on his face.

What about if Philip "Marmalarde" Rivers threw it? :lol:
