Can the Baltimore Ravens blame their blowout loss on the high altitude3 of the Denver Broncos stadium. I mean the game should have been played at home as is the tradition of giving the Superbowl Champs a home game for the NFL season opener. Not only did the Ravens have to go on the road, but they had to go on the road in a hostile environment to play a good football team with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Don’t get me wrong though because the Ravens did nget their asses whipped.
The Baltimore Ravens made several bonehead mistakes throughout the Ravens vs Broncos game last night. I mean the guy who ran into Jacoby Jones during the return causing Jacoby Jones to get injured should be cut. I mean a challenge flag should have been thrown on a bad referee call when the replay showed that the pass was dropped. This resulted in a touchdown drive for the Denver Broncos. Dallas Clark dropped a key touchdown pass and our defensive secondary got burned left and right giving up 7 TD passes to Peyton Manning.
The only real bright spots for the Ravens was that Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil both recorded sacks on Peyton Manning, but overall the defense was not very impressive to say the least. Michael Huff did not show me much other than the fact that he can miss key tackles. Another bright side is that Denver beat us bad last year too in the regular season but the Ravens came back and beat them when it really counts and that is in the playoffs!
