    ravens.. it was a double wammmmy ... a loss for us.. a win for them.. had we won that its a double move up... figure we got one more win . they got one more loss .. so we could be ahead of them and have beat them both games this season..

    I can narrow it down to one drive - the drive after we took a 28-24 lead against Miami, and then allowed the Fins to cut through our defense like it was a pee wee team. That was a complete joke, and with a stop there we probably control our own destiny next Sunday.

    I think pinning that loss on AB is pretty unfair.

    I agree. The Ravens game was damn near fatal, though, I could see a case for most of the other losses as well.

    Just like in 2009, the Raiders loss was killer though there are others just as bad.

    well 3 losses we just got our asses beat.. the other 5 we lost by a TD or less.. but again .. the ravens we lost by the least amount of points and OUR LOSS was a WIN for them .. so double important.. but so was the maimi game.. or you can look at it as the home games we lost.. or you can look at it as the games we lost where we were the favorite team.. and you can make a case that he ravens game was noooooooot the worst... in that we were on the road and supposed ot lose and were pretty much out and came back.. really any of those losses as a win and we woud be golden.. just some reall stupid losses.. to me we play to the competition except our 3 big losses.. we rarely ever blow a team out.. we hang around close usually and either win it or lose in inthe last minute or OT.. we play ot the competition and play below that level to poor teams..

    I'll go with the loss...of Larry Foote. How much better is our defense if he plays the whole season? Maybe the D doesn't give up big leads early or big leads late.

    i think him getting hurt was a huge blow to the defense. is he a HOF lb? no, but what he is. is a solid player that knows his role in DL's defense. hes good at stopping the run and hes a decent pass rusher. that was probably the one position they were least prepared to fill on defense. i know Timmons was basically moved to his spot and hes had a great season, but no one else stepped up at that MLB position to go along with Timmons.

    Remember when Isaac Redman fumbled on the goal line vs Tennessee? Absolutely heartbreaking in this playoff scenario
