What happened, I saw that it was 4th down from the 25 or so, did they miss the FG?
Falcons went for it on 4th and inches from their own 40. I didn't mind that decision, but then they came out and ran it up the middle with Dunn. Lost a couple yards.
He hurt his thumbGreat drive for Vick
He probably would have had it if he kept running down the sideline.
Mora should be shot for that play call....3rd ane goal from the 3 and they call a fade/jump ball by a VERY inaccurate passer to the backup TE who's double covered, instead of either running vick or dunn, or at least throwing a higher percentage pass to crumpler/quick slant to a wr?!
asinine.
asinine.
Is he always this good?

Good win for the Ravens yesterday. Obviously, Sams was the MVP of the game for them, but I was really pleased to see that final scoring drive: 87 yards eating up over 8 minutes. I was also encouraged to see the three passes to Jamal Lewis (one on a 4th & 1 play IIRC) - where's that been? Big two games coming up with Cincy & Pittsburgh.

Home games left: Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. Away games: Cincinnati, Kansas City, Pittsburgh. Ratbirds are in the driver's seat, and beating the Stillers this week would pretty much drive a stake through those guys' hearts.While it was great to see them dominate the second half with the run, it would be even better to see them put together four good quarters against a good team and be less dependent on special teams play, which has had some letdowns of its own earlier in the season. With an unexpected three-game lead in the division, perhaps maintaining their focus and intensity is understandable; but they're simply not good enough to beat Cincy and Pittsburgh just by showing up. Still,
on the season so far.

You're right. But I don't know if they can put a full 60 minute effort together (most teams can't). Their M.O. seems to be to stay in the game enough to get 3 or 4 big plays & try to pull it out that way. They just don't seem to be built to be consistent.3-3 wouldn't surprise me in the last six games. All of the road games arte going to be tough, as is Pitt here. But if they can win the next two, that'll pretty much wrap up the division.Home games left: Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh. Away games: Cincinnati, Kansas City, Pittsburgh.

Cincy still has to go to Indianapolis and Denver, Pittsburgh to Carolina and Cincinnati, so 3-3 (11-5 final) should do it.Your analysis of the way they win games is pretty much spot on. They hang around and hope for a big play from the defense/special teams or a last-minute drive led by McNair. He's been great this year with the game on the line.You're right.
