Post-Game Thread Titans 23, Ravens 20

I've been on the Byard hype train since he was drafted, glad to see he's starting to blow up now. 5-3 looks good, but the loss to the dolphins hurts even more now when we could be 6-2. Best NFL team looks like the Eagles. Everything in the AFC is up for grabs so even with the terrible playcalling we still have a chance.

 

I agree, we need to keep our foot on the pedal pretty much the entire game. NFL coaches get scared and they don’t now what to do in these 10 point lead type of games.

 

Think of it like this, as much as we trash Mularkey, John Harbaugh should have kicked a fg instead of going for it earlier. Mularkey kindof out-coached John. Having Byard doesn't hurt either.

 

As goofy as this will sound, the Ravens got a TD out of that failed conversion. Mariota threw a pick like two plays after the Titans got the stop. The Ravens scored on the short field.

Who knows how things would have worked out had they taken the three instead, but that decision didn't kill them.

 

When you look at it like that, you're absolutely correct. I stand corrected.

 

Today was a good win. Ravens aren't top notch anymore but are still a competitive team.

Glad to see the team finally capitalize on the takeaways.

Mariota did a good job with another lackluster running game.

That 3rd quarter was straight out of a garbage can. Bad play calling, bad execution. That kind of quarter will burn teams usually and they somehow got out unscathed. Need that kind of luck to win tough games.

Byard is playing lights out. Missed this from the D.

Some good pass rush today. Casey getting some big plays out there.

 

We are not a great team, but a couple years ago we would have lost all these close games. Now we are winning most of them.
