Success

The Ravens look to be one of the best teams, and we had a bad night. While I wouldn't mind bolstering the WR corps, I think what we have will continue to develop. I mean, if Coleman can keep building on last night, he stands a chance of being a true #1 kind of guy by the end of the season. Shakir is very solid. Samuel has more potential than he has shown so far. What hurt us yesterday more than anything was getting away from Cook. Our offense can still be a top 5 unit without a trade.

Dirty hit on the trick play. Unnecessary.

We take these kinds of plays from Allen for granted now. In some ways, they're commonplace. But I don't know - maybe 5-6 guys in the last 20 years or so make a throw like that? I'm still shaking my head. Unfortunately, that trick play changed the game, and now I doubt it will even be talked about. But man....

It did look like there were a few times where Allen had a ton of time - and couldn't find anyone. Separation is still a problem.

We'd all love it if it worked - but it didn't, and it's too easy to 2nd guess. It was all going our way at that point, and the Ravens were definitely thinking about their previous blown leads.

Pretty good summary. We didn't tackle well, obviously. That was disappointing. We've been more physical in the other games to this point, but we let the Ravens out-physical us by a mile. I don't think we're as soft as we looked out there, but I have concerns now.

Just normal playcalling on that trick play drive would have done the trick. We had them on their heels.

Do we stick w/ Bass? He is so inconsistent. We were scrapping there, and that miss really hurt.

Coleman in the 2nd half was a bright spot. I'm sure some other fans and analysts will call us pretenders after this - but sometimes, these games just happen. If not for that trick play, I think we probably win. We had them on their heels at that moment, but lost the moment.

Didn't we beat New England by 30 in one of their title seasons?

On the plus side - we're back to being under the radar. And we probably won't get back above the radar until at least the KC game. Because we won't be playing "anybody."

The Ravens aren't 25 points better than the Bills. Or whatever it is. I'm bad at math. This was a lesson, for a team that has more than their share of new guys.

Overall, I'm not super worried. This was a bad, bad game - but the Ravens were much more desperate than we were. I can see a game where our 1st drive doesn't stall and it's at least close the rest of the way. If the Texans beat us next week, then I'll be concerned.

Loved Coleman in the 2nd half, at least.

Been awhile since we've had one of these. Doesn't feel good.

Bass really had a chance to keep us in this game right there. That's a tough, tough miss.

Another tester for Bass.

I thought a run could have taken them by surprise there, and set up going for it on 4th if we didn't make it.

I kind of hate how this game is so dreamy for the fans here who love to hate on this team.

We seized momentum - and when you seize it, you've gotta hold it. Just one of those games. I don't think we win now, but the Ravens aren't worlds better than the Bills. They're having a good night, and we're not.

TOO CUTE

That was a much tougher catch than the one he dropped.

How ya like him now?

GET OPEN!

A TD drive here and I don't think the Ravens recover. It's in their heads that they're not a good 2nd half team.
