True enough. Perhaps the fire was too stoked? Too much going for the big hits rather than playing sensibly in coverage. That said, we do need to...
Division record will come into it, though. There would be nothing worse than going, say 11-5 and still missing out. I expect the game to be...
I said this a while back. It's like the fines are the NFL's way of saying "yeah, we missed this, sorry." Glad that the fines were consistent...
I agree with this, though I think Tomlin has often been much more daring in situations before. Perhaps there's a bit of overthinking the game...
:this!: I'll be honest, I hadn't really heard of Pitta before this game...
:this: There was general weak play by the CBs against Balitmore. Gay has been playing the best football of his career this season, Keenan Lewis...
I agree completely with you that the pressure just isn't as good as before. QBs aren't terrified of our linebackers anymore. We could blame the...
I'm not sure if it was a run-pass thing. There just seemed to be no rhythm out there, until Ben got the no-huddle going. Yes, the run game would...
As I've said a few times before - the Lewis hit was there, on the replay that they were reviewing for Ward's catch. Now, I know they can't...
I think we underestimate the Bengals at our own risk. Their defense is very capable. They've been hitting harder and better play reading than in...
Ineffective blitzing (bar Harrison and Keisel). We were also telegraphing a lot of the blitzes - not enough smoke and mirrors.
It was a helmet to helmt hit. It should have drawn a flag. Damn right it should get a fine.
Agree with most of what you put, but this in particular. I actually didn't notice Timmons the entire game, pretty much. I maintain that he's being...
The defense were inconsistent. I'm really annoyed about this game, but I'm trying to think about it like this: if we had won, the Ravens fans...
I agree with all of this. The Ravens receivers are much more physical than NE. The real problem was on 3rd down we probably sent too many in the...
Re: Pass interference in the NFL is becoming like flopping.. Yeah, essentially if you start calling everything, you have to call it both ways....
There's a lot in this logic. Whether you stop them at the 10 or at the 50, you've still got to stop them. If I was to put the loss down to one...
One of the many, many annoying things about the loss is that it gives analysts an excuse to talk about how great Flacco is. Joe "more yards...
I concur. Welcome to the boards! :drinks:
I had my Madden armchair quarterback mode on at the punt - I would have gone for it on 4th down. If Ben doesn't like what he sees, let him drop...
