No playoffs for the Ravens this season after losing to the Bengals! The darn Bengals of all teams. Watching this game today was painful. I sincerely had to keep rubbing my eyes because when the Ravens were on offense, I thought they were a Pop Warner team. And no disrespect to the Pop Warner teams because that could be taken as an insult due to the lackluster performance Baltimore’s football team displayed.
I am pretty much pissed. Sports does that to me. Well losing poorly does that to me. And we lost poorly. Can we start with our offense? First what is going on with our offense line or should I say the 5 big guys standing in front of the QB. Did any of you want to block today or this season? Did you want to protect your way too overpaid quarterback? Because from my vantage point on my couch, it did not appear so. It looked just like one of those teen football movies where the linemen were mad at their QB and were determined to sabotage the game by not blocking! Say it isnt so Yanda, Oher, Shipley and Monroe, sometimes Reid!!! Oher, I loved your movie and your life story but sweetheart, you have got to go!
Ray Rice, what is wrong with you? You have played in fear of getting hurt. You do realize that you can say bye bye to any endorsements if you don’t perform well in your real job as a football player. Your modus operandi this season was clear…. get the ball, take 1 step, see a defender coming, dive. How are you a running back? I really do not mind seeing you go. We should have recruited a real warrior like Le’Veon Bell to carry the ball.
Pierce, can you please start moving UP the field? Oh and on screens homie, run the opposite way of the block. You see the guy being blocked outside well then go inside. Stop running right into the block. You are making way more work for you and your teammates for heavens sake!
Torrey Smith- Stop looking for the call every single time. If you do not even make an attempt to throw your arms up to catch the ball, guess what? What are they going to call? You were my favorite because of your gusto but your balloon is quickly deflating! I get it, you are double teamed alot but the times Flacco does put it in your hands, please catch it. You have to be a leader out there, PLEASE!!!!!!
Flacco- Do you show any emotion? Are you dead inside? Can you do this? Are you ready to be a real leader? Then SHOW ME SOMETHING besides the blank look. Yes, your O-Line is terrible but you need to improve tremendously on your pass choices. I swear you never, ever see the linebacker. EVER!!!!
Offensive Coaching: absolutely piss poor play calling! You ran the same plays from week 1 to week 16 and look in amazement as to why the receivers cannot get open. If we as fans can see it, how can you not? Have you just gotten complacent? When watching you all on the sidelines, from where I stand do you hold your players accountable for anything?
Ravens’ Defense: The Secondary has got to go!!!! Our footwork needs improvement. They all stare at the QB more than who they are covering. No one seems to get out of their backpeddle. We are always chasing instead of keeping the receiver in front and well Jimmy Smith, you just suck. I am over you!
In the end, the Baltimore Ravens seriously suffered from the Superbowl Hangover. If you all wanted to get in the playoffs as badly as the Ravens Nation wanted you to, I guarantee you would have been there. In Ozzie we trust you say… well this Ravens fan feels betrayed!
