I don't get how anybody can watch just that video and be so sure of anything. For all we know, the guy is even worse than we think and knocked a bunch of people out beforehand for no reason. Or, the girls were trying to rip his eyes out of his head in the stands before the camera begins...
You've got people on this forum inferring that Moore's mistake was the Ravens being lucky but the Bronco's two special teams TD's were legit. Cherry picking works both ways. The best evidence for how this game is going to play out isn't in any passing, defense, rushing, special teams...
Ok, but ... unless those numbers are substantially better than Denver's numbers vs. opposing quarterbacks over the past 8 games, it doesn't tell us much. Denver's D was ranked pretty high, yet Baltimore was able to take advantage of them downfield.
Another point - you've got to take what...
Ok - sorry, I took your comments the wrong way. A few other posters had suggested the Ravens were just lucky.
I do think if you watched more Ravens games you'd come to the conclusion that they have decided to intentionally underthrow some balls and let the receivers make a play. Really...
Ya know, luck is a funny thing. Everybody here wants to talk about how lucky the Jones pass was. Nobody wants to say Sterling Moore's play last year or the missed chip shot FG was lucky, or that Denver was lucky to score two special teams TD's.
Truth is, sometimes guys make very unlikely...
Hey, if you can convince yourself that every Ravens big play is a result of luck and every Patriots big play is a result of skill, you might want to take off the blinders there buckshot.
While it's true that Caldwell got too reliant on run-run-pass at the end of the game, that was not the case for most of the game, or the Colts or Giants games.
As for play calling, a few things are different. One, he's moved Flacco around in the pocket more. Two, we have been more...
Hah! You're killing me. Please continue. This is lovely, really. Ravens make a big play, it's luck, Denver makes a big play, it's the Ravens messing up. Whatever makes you happy, bro.
You don't see the hypocrisy in mentioning "defense"?
I like how you conveniently ignore that we gifted Denver a kick and a punt return for TD's. You can play that game if it makes you feel better. If the last 3 or 4 Ravens/Patriots games don't convince you that either team can win this game, then tell me - who is in denial?
I feel like you're certain you want to disagree with me so you're setting some kind of moving target. I made a point in the thread, my point was not to directly traverse your position - just to add something. Ok?
Nothing about last Saturday's game makes me accept anything about Denver's primacy, and I'll take my own counsel as to whether I should watch the sport.
THX.
It's pretty simple, really. Other than the first game with Caldwell as OC, the offense has done what it needs to do. If you're a Ravens fan you're probably leaning toward this as a paradigm shift, if you're a Patriots fan you're probably inclined to nitpick your way into convincing yourself it...
Well, sure, but that's the thing with small sample sizes. In that sample, game (1) was Caldwell's first game as OC, game (3) the starters were rested, and game (4) wasn't that close - offense is trying to shorten the game, not score points. You could also look at those numbers and say hey...
