Getting Old

[thecodster]

Baltimore's D is getting old, 2 years ago that drive would have never happened last night.

[jjgold]

They have most overrated defense in football

Atl played well also though

[thecodster]

yes they did, matty ice has been on this year

[BIGDAY]

It was a great game!

[coloradobuff]

[beerman2619]

Baltimores D is definately has definately lost something compared to past years. A good QB has no problem throwing against them.

Matt Ryan and Atlanta definitely deserve a lot of credit. When will people stop underestimating them, especially at home?

Granted, it seemed like it took some "home cooking" in terms of the calls at the end, but that's to be expected in the NFL.

I think all defenses are a bit undermined due to the new stress about the collision pentalities, fines and whatnot. This is always going to go against defensive-minded teams like the Ravens and help offensive-minded teams like Atlanta. Ray Ray might be getting older, but the evolution of NFL rules continue to make it tougher and tougher for him to decapitate QBs.

They let Buffalo go 90+ yards to tie that game at the end.

baltimore is very solid with a lot of veterans, but i don't trust flacco to make the plays need to win. they will be in almost every game but you need clutch players to get over the top. dilfer was that guy when they won the superbowl.

Flacco put the Ravens up 21-20 with 1 min left in the 4Q. What else do you want from a QB?

5. Baltimore's defense just isn't the same. Ed Reed looks 47. The corners were sieves last night. The Ravens gave up 156 yards in the fourth quarter. I remember when they didn't give up 156 in a game.

Good Defense not great - But their Offense is much improved - Those 2 teams could meet again in the Superbowl

their d is getting old but i would still like to have as my teams d as the season winds down, experience counts

[brxbmbers42]

baltimore d has been old for years. very overrated.

[slacker00]

Also, losing Rex Ryan and several key starters over the last couple years isn't helping the Ravens. It isn't just age.

The coordinator is horrible and the secondary sucks. Slightly above average d no more no less
