    We need more weeks.... so the other teams can pass us and we get the #1 pick. The Jets won yesterday, step in the right direction!

    We lost the game when Delani went out. Our WR's were doubled up and had no where to go. The PI against hunter was a huge call also. We were moving and in Ravens territory again. That play hurt as well.

    I believe their corners had been selling insurance the week prior. It's inexcusable to me that a guy like Hunter doesn't have a career day.

    The Walker injury not only took the best receiving threat out of the game, he was the only TE who started the season on the 53-man roster. Add to that the hit fired up the fans, Raven's D, it was ruled incomplete and the stupid head-butt penalty pushed the Titans back deeper.

    I'm going to say 2nd half special team mistakes. Block in the back on Sensabaugh, illegal block on Anderson, and illegal formation on Groves. We started in a huge hole on each drive and made it easier for the Ravens.

    The Greene fumble. Delanie getting rocked also sucked but when Greene coughed up that fumble I knew the game was over. It set the horrible pathetic tone for the rest of the game for us.

    They stuffed them on defense, then drove the short field and scored? It effectively didn't hurt them at all.

    That Greene fumble was a killer. If he had held onto the ball we are up 2 scores. The Ravens must then go pass heavy to catch up. The run game of the Ravens is not established and we are in a much better place defensively, not to mention the momentum of the game sways heavily.

    Oline play was good in the 1st half, but as the game went on they returned to old form. I know that a lot of people say Mett held the ball too long and I agree to an extent. However its like Lewan said:

    "That is such a poor, poor excuse for an offensive line. We have to block, we have to do what we are supposed to do," said Lewan, who gave up a sack Sunday. "The guy has so many reads, so many things to think about, to even say that about him is (wrong) in my opinion. I am not sitting there with a stopwatch, I am not writing down how long it takes for him to get rid of the ball. My job is to block and make sure he has enough time to get the ball out."

    If we can get the rest of the oline to actually believe this (Not just say it) this line may just improve.

    The WRs have got to start getting open more. It has really shocked me how ineffective Wright has been this year. Mett was on target in the 1st half. In the 2nd half he struggled as the WRs didn't get open and the oline couldn't hold the rushers off long enough. Loosing Walker killed the passing game.

    No pass rush again. We have got to get a pass rusher that can get in the face of the QB on a regular basis. Casey is a good player, but he has not shown up as much as he should. His 4 sacks have came in 2 games. For comparison Griffin has 3 sacks.

    Lewan may not have a stopwatch but I do!!! First, we had open WR's in the 2nd half and Mett missed quite a few easy throws, was not decisive with the ball several other times (almost all of his sacks were on him) and penalties AGAIN killed us! The refs killed us too with missed calls, bad calls...we are not good enough to overcome all of that.

    But Mett had a big hand in us doing nothing in the second half and despite the sacks, the OL wasn't bad in pass protection. When Mett's internal clock hits 5 you throw the ball away, especially when you are inside your own 20 and especially on a deep drop. We lost over 10 yards on one sack.

    There is a stat in the NFL on avg time a QB gets rid of the ball. 2.5 seconds is good. Mett is not close!

    Again, he's a rookie and it is the hardest position on the field and I knew these kinds of rookie mistakes would hurt us but this is what you go throw the growing pains for to see if he can get to the other side. He did play well in the first half!

    As always I agree to an extent. That clock is a trait that Mett has to develop. However, when you have as much as we do invested in the oline they have to stand up to that rush. Especially when they know that they have a rookie QB starting his 2nd NFL game. Mett does have to get better at throwing the ball away or more importantly getting it to the check down. However, if he is holding it I really want those high dollar, high draft picks to protect that pocket!!

    I was screaming at the refs. It appeared blatantly a one sided game the refs called. Rough to watch.
