    It has taken me some time but ive learned to accept that we are a pass first team. We've been that way for a while and anyone who does not recognize that is still living in the Cowher Power era.
    Im ok with that however there are time that you absolutely should run the ball (Leveon not getting the ball on 4 and 1 in the prior Raven game comes to mind
    BUT heres what I dont get. The first drive I agreed with what we were doing, run the ball till they stop it (unfortunately they did on 4th and 1). Anyone who disagrees with the call to go for it is ultra conservitive and anyone who blames that call in us losing is really reaching.
    After the 1st drive why did Ben and the team not do what weve done to other teams Denver and Seattle a especially, which is no huddle, pass heavy sets, why does Ben get love happy with AB when Jesse James and Wheaton are open, why are we getting cute trying to throw to the Fullback when we jave dynamic receivers. Where are our crossing routes, seam routes (going deep is difficult because the Ravens play 2 deep often BUT when we did in the 2nd half we got PI's.
    Did you notice how the Ravens were beating us at our own gameplan in the 1st half dink and dunk, set up deepee routes, no huddle offense. WHY T H E heck did we let the Ravens control the flow of the game and game clock.
    BEN WAS AWFUL TODAY and I believe he's shell shocked against the ravens.

    Let's hope we can beat Cleveland, I KNOW REX RYAN and the BILLS would love to beat RYAN FITZPATRICK (used to play for the bills) and the Jets, but it really should not have come to this. This Ravens team outworked us today in the 1st half and there are no excuses for that.
