Ravens drops killing them

Still over 3 minutes left, don't celebrate yet Denver.

[Eckesg1]

That's a fantastic no call

[xxaaaxx]

Perfect coverage there.

[billygreen]

That forced time out a minute ago is playing big here now.

Baltimore play calling is horrible. Didn't understand back to back running plays on 1st and 15.

Ravens drops killing them

Its Flacco's fault the receivers are dropping passes...he sucks

[RMJK]

Somebody had to lose and it comes down to home field advantage in this one. A few ref calls.

[jzelada121]

what a hold on ray lewis on that last run play, lmao!

[nyahay bus]

he's made 2 bad throws on 3d down in this quarter that really hurt them.

[SlickBri481]

I thought Flacco played well up until that last sequence there. He wasn't good enough. The 3rd down throw was behind Jones. He had no clue the playclock ran down and Ravens had to burn a critical TO. Then he threw to a heavily covered TE on 4th down while under zero pressure

[RMJK]

Flacco is impressive, would take him in a big game over Ryan any day even though his regular season stats aren't close, makes big time throws

agree

No the difference in this game was Trindon Holliday and special teams.

I think its more about execution than playcalling. If the WR gets a decent block, Rice picks up a first down on the second down run. Or, if the Jones doesnt drop the 3rd down pass. Either way, I think it was execution more than playcalling.

[billygreen]

Denver needs to pick up the 1st here, they can't trust Bailey on Smith with a minute-thirty to play.

[DDNYjets]

I always liked Flacco. He has all the tools and he is head strong.

Ravens get a stop on 3rd down, and Flacco will get one last chance to force OT.

[fnordcircle]

Having to burn a TO on 4th and 5 was ****ing unforgiveable.

I get that you needed to get it right but burning that timeout is going to be the difference between having the ball with 2 minutes to go and having the ball with 80 seconds to go.

I want balt to get a shot here. Lets go D!
