Game Thread W2 - NY Jets V Baltimore (1 Viewer)

[Gravity]

Why does Billick throw 3 straight times with 3 mins left?? Crazy.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Cotchery 50 yard gain

He has great YAC skills, especially for someone who isn't a burner...He's so strong and keeps fighting, so when these DBs hit him and don't wrap up, he just fights for more yardage...

Somewhere in there lies the answer

I was thinking the same thing... extremely strong, but a speedier WR would have taken that to the hizzy

McCareins drops the game-tying TD

 

[Tremendous Upside]

McCareins needs to catch that

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Been to a few Ravens games. That atmosphere is off the charts god for an NFL venue. Probably the best I've been to and I've been to around ten venues.

 

[Gravity]

maceirins drops a sure touchdown...right thru his hands. Likely costing them the game!

Good Lord - it was right there. I think I could have caught that one.

A lot of idiots, but a lot of fun. Beats the hell out of FedEx

 

[analog_hiss]

That's a TD pass...you can't drop those

FEDEX is way too big and not built well for acoustics at all. Plus I find Redskin fans very annoying.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Whatever happens, Clemens has REALLY impressed me here

 

[delusional]

2 passes for TDs that should have been caught

My favorite thing about FedEx is the Papa John's commercials between offensive plays. That and paying $30 for parking.

 

[delusional]

nice catch

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nice catch there by Coles. Crowd is gonna get loud now.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Good reversal there...

Would have come down with 2 feet...

What a pass by Clemens

 

[Patoons]

Thought you couldn't review a force out?

 

[delusional]

Think the clemons era started today?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Thought you couldn't review a force out?

They didn't - they reviewed whether he had control.

 

[delusional]

Thought you couldn't review a force out?

you can't, but can review to see if he maintained possession

 

[GroveDiesel]

Nice catch there by Coles. Crowd is gonna get loud now.

Can't believe that one ref was even initially trying to rule it an incomplete pass.

 

[JZilla]

Ray Ray INT, game over

 

[delusional]

Wow this kid couldnt catch a break...these WRs could have tied the game by now if they could catch

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Ray Lewis INT in the end zone.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Another one McCareins has to catch...

He lost the game for us...

Eff him, get him the eff off the team...

Garbage receiver, has done #### for us...

Put Brad Smith in there...

 

[JZilla]

Thought Ray might stab Ed Reed there

 

[JZilla]

Another one McCareins has to catch...He lost the game for us...Eff him, get him the eff off the team...Garbage receiver, has done #### for us...Put Brad Smith in there...

I thought Chansi might take his job.. sadly he hit the IR

 

[GroveDiesel]

McCareins needs to catch that

Wow that guy is a bum.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Good win for the Ravens. I think Mangini gets more out of his team than anyone not named Jeff Fisher.

Wow

 

[roadkill1292]

I don't know whether to be impressed by the Jets' 4th quarter comeback, especially after being thoroughly dominated early on, or dismayed by the Ratbirds' desultory offensive effort in the second half. That won't get it done against the elite teams of the AFC, almost all of whom they have to play later on.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Whew. The Ravens needed this one, but it got a lot closer than it appeared it'd be early on. The Jets could have quit (like the Giants did, but kept battling. Clemens took a beating today, but showed poise & grit in the 4th quarter.

What a whacky day in the NFL.

Agreed... same old lethargic Ravens in the second half. No chance against the Patriots, Colts or Chargers.

Billick drives me crazy. And I'm sure he drives his D crazy too, because he puts them in awful situations way too many times.

 

[JMJ]

McCareins with 2 inexcusable drops. Both hit him directly in the hands and ANY NFL-caliber WR should have caught them.

Period.

 

[roadkill1292]

Thinking about it a little more, we have to give credit to the way Clemens moved the team smartly downfield late in the game. He'd been hit from every angle through 3 quarters but kept hanging in back there and pitching strikes. Granted, the Ravens were probably backing off some but even then you gotta make the plays they give you and he was doing that. The Jets are still a little undermanned in the difficult AFC but they're well-coached and appear to be headed for consistent competitiveness.

 

[superbeck1]

I have just stopped throwing things around my living room. Cotchery and Clemens deserve kudos for todays game. I make McCareins walk home from Baltimore. Bum.

 

[Tom Cody]

What was up with Leon Washington? Did he get hurt? Didn't do anything this week.....

 

[sheerterror]

For the second week in a row, he barely got any touches. This really surprises me considering 1) he's easily the most explosive player on the offense and 2) In the preseason, Mangini seemed to allude to making sure both RBs were going to get touches, yet it's been pretty much all Jones so far through 2 weeks. This team has had trouble moving the ball, albeit against two great defenses, but I'm really surprised they haven't gotten any screen passes to Leon to allow him to make some moves in the open field and get the ball moving.

 

[JMJ]

Thomas Jones is an excellent pass-blocker for a RB and equally adept at receiving out of the backfield. Being down big in both games has forced the Jets to throw a lot and run a lot of "trickery type" run plays like draws. TJ will be on the field in passing situations due to his blitz pickups. Leon will play a lot in closer games, TJ will play a lot more in games where the defense is playing with a big lead and pinning their ears back going after the QB.

Jets homer.
