I don't subscribe to this line of thought. Today's game could have easily been a shutout with 14 defensive points scored. And we wouldn't have even had to try that hard. Flacco threw a few passes right to our defensive backs and their only points came off penalties and a blown coverage deep.
Brilliant!
Several teams gave up 30 and still won. We gave up 13 to an offense that looked like it was trying to give the ball away all day and we still lost by a touchdown.
How many times over the last 15 years has one game been the difference between the playoffs or going home? I'll set the over / under at 5, and I think that's low.
The Ravens are not even a remotely good football team. They will miss the playoffs along with us, but their organization will rebuild into a playoff team in less time than it took us to fire Dick Jauron.
For God's sake, just do what real organizations do and go for an early pick. Fire everyone except maybe Ed Reed.
If you think this is an overreaction, you weren't watching today. The ineptitude of this team can't be overstated.
This was an easy win. Our defense looked atrocious. Our offense was even worse. This is not a team that improved over last year, never mind one that is built for the playoffs. The talent is there. The team is not.
