We didn't do real great against the run but we played a good game. Jackson got 2 TD's that were the result of plays that were nothing more than just plain LUCK! And one was a push off that didn't get called.
Key parts of the game:
Clark gets the sack at a crucial time
2, not 1 but 2 or even 3(?), 2-pt conversions stopped
Contained a very mobile QB in Jackson
Passing game for the Ravens was mostly luck. Coverage was there all game.
I'm liking what I am seeing so far. Need to tighten it up on the run a bit but the Ravens are a great running team. Keep improving and we have a solid middle of the pack defense. [Reply]

Teams will now run all day and with a better passing QB to seal the deal against our Chiefs.
Xavier Williams is a huge liability out there. Has to be someone on the street right now who can play better then him!

They allowed 13 points through three quarters and only allowed a couple scores when the game was largely over. I might suggest your expectations are unreasonable. [Reply]

He did make a good play knifing through and wrapping up Jackson's legs on the first 2-point attempt, I'll give him that. He still sucks though. [Reply]

The one on the goal line...fine, looked like OPI but it never should have been completed.
I saw a LOT of piss poor tackling, a lot of guys assuming the tackle was made only to have Ingram go for a few more yards.
Look, I still think the D was better most of the time, but when they were bad, they were lose the game bad. We still roll with our offense and hope the defense won't shit the bed.
Luck is part of the game. You can't blame players for bad luck. The tackling was a concern, but as far as our coverage it was their best game of the year. [Reply]

Patriots have had garbage time for 3 straight weeks and not given up any TD's.
We keep playing 4th quarters like this and we will get burned eventually....so tighten it up, cut that shit out, and this defense will start looking pretty decent. [Reply]

I don't think it's drills, i think it's effort. It hurts to tackle someone and you must be willing to pay the price in pain to be a good tackler. Our secondary is not motivated enough to pay that price. Coaching makes a real difference with this. I have never seen an Andy Reid team that was mean and tough. [Reply]

The Pats have not played an NFL team yet. Who gives a shit? [Reply]
Ingram is a good back and the Ravens are a legit offense until someone breaks Lamar and he stops being the feature back in their offense. By containing his shifty lil' ass and coming up with a few plays the Chiefs won a game with playoff implications in about 14 more weeks.
Defense grade B-.
Offense looked average at best today. Yeah, they popped a couple big plays but they couldn't run it for 90% of the game. But they did manage 33 points. O-line isn't looking as good as I hoped unless the Ravens and the Raiders d-lines are really that good.
Offense grade C+ [Reply]
