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]

Dude, I don't give a fuck about yards when our offense scores as fast as they do. The 28 points were aided by 2 very lucky plays by the Ravens. [Reply]

Oh I didn't know lucky plays don't count.
We got gashed all fucking day long. We're lucky harbaugh stupidly abandoned the run in the 2nd quarter and on the 2 point tries. [Reply]

This run defense might be worse than Sutton's and now we don't have the pass rushing horses we used to.. The Pats will gash us on the ground.
What?
Dude, not even close.
This run defense is much better than last year's.
EVERY FUCKING RUN last year got 5+ yards. That was what killed us. We still give up long runs too often, but we're done giving teams 2nd and 2 after an 8 yard run on 1st down. I don't care what the average YPC stats say. We're holding runners to less than 2 yards on a given carry far more often than last year. And that's important.
If Spags figures out how to fucking stop giving up these 3rd and longs, we're going to be just fine. [Reply]

Dude... we're allowing like 7 yards per carry this year. [Reply]
