Ravens are so stupid (1 Viewer)

With the game on the line and they do not even bother running McGahee? A 4th and goal with 1 yard to go and they put the game on Boller's arm?

WTF?

And I am not even a McGahee owner in any league but OMG, why would you bother signing this guy?

How in the freakin hell do you not play power run game down there with 6 chances????? unbelivable
 
I'd rather see a team give a guy playing time because they feel he's the best for that situation rather than because they signed him to a big money deal.

 
absolutely stunning play calling. Boller sitting there on the bench, then put the ball in hand to tie instead of your prized FA. Billick should have been canned about 2 seasons ago.

 
In all fairness, the PI call on Heap was horrendous.

But I still agree that the playcalling sucked.

 
agreed that McGahee needs more than the 18 or so carries he got tonight. But, Heap should've scored on 2 different plays at the end. Fist, the phantom PI call and then the "bounce off the shoulder pads" miss on the last play. Either of those 2 go right, and there is very little talk about Billick and McGahee, imo

 
On first and 5, McGahee gains 3.

Why would you not run him again? Or Musa Smith.

You still have 2 downs to throw the ball.

I agree.P.S. Was Boller getting playing time because he was the best for that situation?

Boller comes in and almost throws a pick in the corner of the endzone, then after the penalty that gives them the first down, they throw again on 2nd and 3rd down inside the 2 LOL....what stupid play calling :excited:

Mcnair hurt his groin and the sideline reporter said that is why he was out of the game. If I heard that right.

;) :shrug: :goodposting: After McGahee gets 4-5 on first and goal after the penalty, how do you not run it AT LEAST ON 2ND. With Boller in there esp, I don't see how they didn't give it to Willis on 2nd and 3rd..use the pass (or pick) for 4th&desperate.I might be a bitter McGahee owner, esp if that loses my game this week, but owner or not - that was RIDICULOUSSidenote: Why did Musa get that TD in the 1st? I was working and didn't see. Was it a 3rd down or something?
 
Well let's see. There was the TD to Heap, which was called back on a phantom penalty. Then there was the next TD to Heap which he unfortunately played volleyball with instead of catching.

So it's hard to fault the playcalling. 1 TD, and should've been another. The plays worked. With McGahee running the ball there's no guarantee that he would have scored, or that there wouldn't have been another holding call.

You're missing the point.... the end result was no touchdown. The passing game is usually full of shoulda coulda wouldas.
 
TERRIBLE PLAY CALLING.

Once McGahee got 4 yards on that "free" 1st down from the 6 to take it to the 2, they should have given it to him 3 more times!!!!

He would have a 99% chance of getting in from the 2 with 3 tries!

Billick is too much of an offensive "genius" to resort to that silly thing called a running game. Especially with the ultra talented K. Boller coming in cold off the bench.

I'm neither a McGahee fan or a Ravens fan and I was yelling at the TV, telling them to run it. My wife thought I was a bit crazy.

If I was the Ravens owner I would have fired Billick on the spot.

Neither my friend.....I traded Bush & McGahee away for LT & Portis in the only (dynasty) league I had this piece of crap (McGahee)But Raven fans and McGahee owners have every right to question the play calling at the end there....pure stupidity. And this is against a Bengals team that stinks at run D (was giving up > 5 YPC all night) and last year gave up a TD every time a team was within the 5 yard line

My point is that if Boller was their "best" chance of scoring a TD, he would have started the game. But Boller was playing by default, and that's the last reason to give him the ball in crunch time.

i'm still not sure if i understand your point... you're arguing about a shoulda coulda woulda goaline hand off to mcgahee...
 
Gotta say, it's hard not to think that Billick is just an idiot sometimes.

This is one of those times, even though they actually did score the TD on the atrociously-flagged Heap play.

 
I think it's the TMQ guy at ESPN who catalogs all the incidents of teams getting "pass happy" near the goal line every week. This looked like one to me.

i assuming it's safe to say the bengals were expecting a run considering the facts that have been brought up in this post...-goal line situation-mcgahee was running well-boller was in the gamebillick gambled and lost, plain and simple... if it were just an incomplete pass with no penalty, i'm pretty sure he would've ran the ball...
 
Is anyone really suprised with Billick being the coach?

He gets named offensive genius because of that team in Minnesota...seriously my wife could coach a team with Moss, Carter, R Smith, and Warren Moon and have them be productive. He is overrated and since I hate the Ravens I am thankful every time he lets his ego call horrible games. I hope he stays forever.

 
Baltimore gave that game away, and took a lot of injuries, you can't ever expect to win when you commit 5 turnovers. As for the last drive, you have to give Willis the ball on second down, period. Heap penalty was total B.S. as well, and I don't even own him in any leagues, just poor officiating. :sadbanana:

Classic Brian Billick.His ego got in the way of winning that game. :goodposting:

but if it works then everyone says he is a genius. And guess what? It did work, but the refs robbed them and then Heap dropped the pass.

take a look at his game log from last year.....you may change your mind. Hes really not all that bad, he just got thrown to the wolves at an age when 99% of QBs are still in college to begin his career.

No, I'm not missing the point. Goalline rushing is also full of coulda shoulda woulda. One guy misses one block and the play is stopped. It's not like McGahee was tearing new #######s in the Bengals. Just because he was paid a lot of money doesn't mean the O-line is suddenly better at run-blocking.
 
I'm warming to Colin Cowherd's theory about fans who question the playcalling.

The fact that the playcalling actually resulted in a TD taken away on a phantom pass interference call will be lost on you all.

They should have given it to McGahee or M. Smith or any other slug RB on the bench.It's 2nd and goal from the 2 you run it....run it again..... and then again. You will get in, and lets not forget it was vs. a poor Bengals D line to boot.

He's shown little to no improvement since he's come in the league IMO. He still makes some terrible decisions. I don't care what the marginal improvement in his stats may say, my eyes say he's still horrible.
