    Last night got way too predictable. Run 1st, Run 2nd, Pass 3rd. 4th down Punt.

    Should have thrown on 1st down a little bit more.

    I would add on top of what you stated Hack that Suisham needs to get the ball in the endzone on kick offs. Field position would have most certainly helped us

    How about Wallaces nonchalant effort on the ball that was thrown low? I mean yeah it was a terrible throw but he just looked like he could give a rats arse whether he caught it or not. Kinda like he would not stoop so low as to catch a bad pass lol

    Overall the impression I got from the game was the Ravens were hungrier and our offense was not. Defense came to play

    Yeah I wish Haley would DRASTCIALLY cut the looks to Mike Wallace. I'm sick of his lazy play. I hope with every bone in my body that they let him walk at the end of the season. Haley needs to give him the treatment that he gave Anquan Boldin and get up in his face. I actually wanna see the fiery Haley. If we do he'll be the ONLY guy on that sideline to get in somebody's face. Tomlin is sure not gonna do it. Neither is Lebeau. We need some fire in our belly on offense.

    Now that you mention it, I'm surprised Haley didn't get in Mikes face, Wallace does not have Bens clout.

    Considering both defenses were playing at a high level Haley in my opinion did a great job, that opening play bomb caught the rats totaly un prepared and resulted in the only offensive TD in the game; we ran the ball for for a 134 yards, threw the ball for 201, a pretty good mix compared to the rats 40 yards rushing and 164 passing; and what co-ordinator could prepare a quarterback in only a week of practice who hasnt started a game in 4 years? He called the fade route in the endzone to wallace, it wasnt his fault mike couldnt tap his left toe to get the score; Haley isnt the fall guy for this game, you can lay that on the kicking team coach, if you want to blame a coach, and Mike Wallace, but everyone else, coaches and players did a fine job in my opinion..............

    They coached themselves out of this game. Haley gets an F. Tomlin gets an F too because ultimately it happened under your watch and that's where the buck stops. I just can't get over that drive where they ran it 10 times in a row very successfully only to decide "Hey why don't we try a low% fade play to our most unreliable WR in the most crucial part of game when we only need 2 yards". AHHHHHHH! It's bizzaro world!

    Couldn't disagree more, too often he abandoned the run when the Ravens couldn't stop it. I understand you have to pass to keep them honest but not with a guy who is obviously injured. Mike should have never gotten the opportunity to try and make that catch, I feel 100% we would have scored a TD or the very least gotten a first down on that play.

    Agreed. The run game wasn't just Hot, it was scorching! Ravens had no answer for it. That drive had TD written all over it.
