    I love him, but his time has passed. No surprise that the pass defense is much much worse with him on the field.

    Will Allen was in for him when they drew that deep PI call, if that's what inspired this. How has Troy played poorly tonight in your opinion?

    Blaming Troy or one person for the Ravens scoring only 13 points is pretty moronic. It isn't as though the Ravens are singling out Troy by consistently throwing the ball his way. The defense is doing ok considering they are no longer the strength of the team.

    How about the offense start scoring some TDs?

    I agree the offense is a bigger problem.

    The issue with Troy is he takes too many chances without the skill set to make up for it now. This secondary is too shaky to have him freelance. They can't cover for him to do that. I think they're safer with Allen. Troy's almost a better LB.

    Yeah cause troy cost them 15 for personal foul and Troy didn't look back for the ball on that PI call and Troy left his man in the end zone for Smith to catch it. Your right completely at fault.

    Can the Mike Mitchell experiment please be over? I know it won't be but it should be.

    This. Troy wasn't the problem tonight. Mitchell was out of position a *LOT* tonight. Maybe this goes back to the whole "Troy makes Mitchell bad" theory, don't know. But Mitchell's play tonight hurt us.

    Both Safeties played bad . Both outside CB'S also played bad . On a positive note both our NT'S played well , I remember at least 4 plays where they blew up the Center and knocked him into the QB.

    Gay batted a fluttering duck that was clearly coming right to him . We need to upgrade the 2 CB'S and both Safety spots and follow that up with some OLB'S and a back up RB .

    Don't worry I believe this may have been Troy's last start. Love you #43 but it may be time.

    ​Troy blitzed that one play and was so SLOW. The RB handled him easily. His legs are shot.

    I think Troy gained weight to the play the hybrid inside LB position and it slowed him down. He looks bigger than ever before and slower.

    I think he just lost the drive, that or his body is failing him.

    its weird cause I feel he isn't that old, but his body has taken a lot of punishment
