It looks like the Baltimore Ravens will forever be a team known mainly for its defense. The offense did not show up at all against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Ravens offense did not get a first down until the 5:26 mark of the third quarter! Joe Flacco only had 1 yard passing in the first half of play.
The Ravens defense did not give up a touchdown but the Ravens still ended up losing to the Jaguars by a score of 12 to 7. The Ravens gave up first place in the AFC North to our good friends the Pittsburgh Steelers with the loss. The Ravens will play the Arizona Cardinals next.
I know it is early, but it is amazing to me that no one has commented on the slow and often times poor communication from teh sidelines. The camera clearly showed Joe shaking his head at the play coming in frommthe sidelines. With more than 5 minutes left in the game, our illustrious coordinator took what seemed like forever to get plays into the huddle, with no regard for urgency. The offense finally scored 13 plays later (2 of which were neg yard penalties against the ravens) with over 3 minutes of elapsed time. We ahve a problem Houston. The camera even picked up on the frustration from Harbaugh during that slow drive to the end-zone. We have seen this too many times, and quite frankly, if they can’t fix this 2-minute drill offense….and they are behind in the foruth quarter… Pittsburgh will eat the Ravens for Lunch.
