LOL, it was pretty bad. If I were the coach, I don't know how I'd react. I think you'd be so stunned by the shear terribleness of the play, you'd be like, "ah...wait...WTF???"

You might just show the GIF. I wouldn't even bother breaking the play down...it's just funny to watch.

well gents and gals, I'll be signing off until either late tonight, or early tomorrow morning. My football players got themselves into the playoffs so I'm off to help get em ready for their game!

Steve Smith Sr. may be old, but the dude still has quickness and if he didn't have the ribs injury, he would have made that TD catch. I don't like the guy, but appreciate the talent on the field.

As soon as Bowman put up his hands confused I knew they were gonna score. I evem yelled at the TV "s**t THEYRE GONNA SCORE!!!"

I was wrong..but I was right.

We could use some positive humor in here for a change...esp. since it went in our favor!

Flacco's INT to Acker was the best punt of the day. And great return too!

That was one of the worst throws I've seen lately, all because Flacco didn't wanna take a sack.

I'm at work so I can't post much at the moment. But here it is for the lulz.

This is Flacco in mid windup.


This is when Acker makes the catch. Notice how little Acker had to move. Then notice how there was no route in the area code when Flacco threw it up.


Fire zone blitz. No one blocks Brooks, who is able to apply immediate pressure. My guess is the RB should have gone up the sidelines after the run fake, but doesn't.

Can you imagine how much fun some posters here would have had if it was kap making a throw like that? It would make their year.

Oh man, they'd party like its 1999!

Flacco saw the guy who he thought was wide open and didn't see Acker.. Floated that off of his back foot. My god

Thanks JD, good luck in your game. Also, I like the change in our big dime by having Tartt playing FS with Reid playing in the box. I knew I saw Tartt playing back at S and flying around a few times making tackles in the flat. He looks so much faster than Reid to me. He is also a hard hitter, which I think Reid was his rookie year until he got all those concussion. Now Reid seems to miss more tackles because he's trying not to lay the wood and get another concussion. Tartt has a lot of potential when playing deep, but clearly he has some mental mistakes so for now Reid and Bethea are the better option starting, but by next year I think Bethea will be gone and Tartt starting.

And like THL stated earlier, Ward needs to be on the field as much as possible. To me, he's been our best DB and I don't even think nickle CB is his best position.

I believe the acronym "YOLO" would be used and dumb s**t like "truth bomb" would be uttered.

In general, how have the defensive line scheme changed from Fangio? Have the nose tackles and defensive ends been playing two gaps or one gap? I know the ILBs are as good as prior years, but how is the DL doing in run defense so far this season?

I told my buddy that was confused in that play. He didn't see it, but it was obvious there was some confusion.
