Perhaps my frustrations aren't allowing me to clearly elaborate on the issues facing this Ravens team. Drew Forrestor at WNST did a very good job summing things up here. Here are a few clear excerpts.

First and foremost is this club’s growing lack of energy and production in the first half of road games. Over the last 10 away games, the Ravens have put up ZERO points in five of them. In those 10 games, Joe Flacco and Company have produced a total of 51 first-half points. 51. For those without the great math skills that I acquired at Glen Burnie HS, that’s 5.1 points-per-half.

You can’t win football games when you average 5.1 points in the first half.


And last but not least, let’s look at our wonderful secondary. It’s not so wonderful. Hell, the Ravens could have used Ike Taylor of the Steelers last night and that’s really digging through the bottom of the barrel. If you want to go through the secondary, man-by-man, you’ll find one common theme. All of the cornerbacks are just “OK”. Nothing more, nothing less.


Now let's hope Harbs and Co. can give us some answers.
