All of Baltimore's losses have been by 1 score...and tonight was the largest margin of defeat for them at 8 points...They are not a horrible team, by any stretch...they have lost 6 games, but no other team has really exploited them and blown them out.

Scrappy. But the D came up with what we needed (something our offence hasn't done in similar spots) and will be a big when we look back on it.

Just win baby!!!!

Night guys

Arians was so mad when Cat missed that but will he look in the mirror and realize he nearly blew the game with his play calls? Will he be mad at Ellington for running out of bounds?

Take the win but horrible down the stretch.

Wasn't a bad play call by Arians, you have to trust your QB to take the sack...

Take the win. Special teams and o-line need some improvement. Not sure if the Cards can get improvement out of Butler.

In the post game interview Carson said BA had a chat with him and it didn't go well for Ellington.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

...dbs

Cheese is right. Ellington stays in bounds, Ravens have to burn their last timeout. Run play, 2 minute warning, Ravens have no timeouts. 2nd down, run up the gut, burn 5 seconds on the play then run about 38 seconds before 3rd down play. About 1:20 left when the ball is snapped and another run play, run about 5 or so seconds off the clock during the play(depending on the gain) then run more time and even take a delay or even call timeout ourselves. About this time there should be about 43 or so seconds left. Punt the way we punted(no gunners, everyone in to block), they either fair catch or try to run but I would think they fair catch to save time. 30-odd seconds to go about 60 yards. No small feat. A hell of a lot better than going 65 yards with over a minute and a half remaining.

Wrong... it takes Butler over a minute to punt the ball and we win lol

AE should have gone down once he was past the first down. Youngster mistake, but he should know better

Not really a mistake IMO, like someone else said, he just didn't want to get hit. He could have literally fallen down on his own.

if we would have lost that game...

holy moly.. I don't even want to think about it.. :)


Also, starting to lose faith in the Cat man.. Definitely not ready to cut him yet though. He's lucky his kickoffs are awesome.

I just got home from watching the game. I just have a couple of thoughts that I'll leave here::

We need to cut our kicker and punter PERIOD.

Carson Palmer has mental errors that are super costly. Not sure why he didn't just take the sack and run out the clock instead of grounding the ball.

Dwight Freeney was a great addition by Keim.

Saying our special teams needs improvement is an understatement. Our special teams flat out blows.

Man thats rough. Miss that 55 yarder by a hair and its kind of not a big deal, it would have been a record for him had he made it. Doink the extra point and all of a sudden you missed two, and a pattern is established. Rough night...

Well, as much as it seems they tried to give this one away, they made the big play they needed to. The play they didn't make in the rams or steelers games. So I'm happy to see we took a punch and didn't completely fold.

Bethel is still not ready. They need to bring in someone in offseason.

Freeney looked good. Hope he continues to round into shape.

I can't believe how bad our special teams are. How can we be a top tier team with one segment of our team being so bad?

Seems we didn't utilize Fitz enough down the stretch.

OK, list our alternatives, now. Give me names. I'll wait.

Am I wrong in saying that our punter and kicker nearly lost the game for us? They need to be replaced, unfortunately that's not likely to happen this year. Besides, I thought we were losing the game anyway guy.

the steelers cut their awful K and picked up another who was gang-busters for them the next week. You act like there can't possibly be anyone out there who's better. Well, when the Punter you have is literally the worst in the league, you have to at least look for someone.

and it's not incumbent on posters to give names. That's what Keim is making hundreds of thousands of dollars for.

Again, list alternatives. You want Josh Scobee?
