colts only scored when we patty caked them the ball and when we gave them extremely short field.

that you are right. The only thing that you can say about this offense is they sure are resilient.

Watching Big Ben in the post game I am struck by how confident the guy is. And he should be. There are a lot of critics, sitting by their laptops finding fault with the way that number 7 plays the game. And here he is against the second best defense in the league, struggling through some killer drops by his receivers, a couple of blown protections by his line/backs and still finding a way to go 92 for game winning score. He ain’t pretty. He doesn’t date supermodels. He’s not particularly graceful.

But the guy has heart and finds a way to win.

The same can be said about the offense he runs.

i think the offense is coming along nicely. They have been steadily improving as they are picking up blitzes WAY better than earlier in the year and Ben has plenty of time to throw it usually, of course there are times when they just blitz way too many for 5 to block and there are times when there is just great D, still the o-line played incredible in my opinion last game especially going against the D that they went against.

Our offense was on the verge of putting together a good drive multiple times but there was something always breaking up the drive, phantom holding calls, dropped passes, bad fumbles, or bad play calling. The ravens did stop us a few times but i still think if we just took care of the ball, caught the passes we should have and had a smidge better play calling scheme then we score about three touchdowns that game. BA should have let Ben come out throwing and then use that to set up the run, and FWP still isn’t seeing his oppurtunities to bounce the run outside. Once all of that starts flowing adding with less drops then the offense will start to score points early.

the rankings are basically just for fans to be able to brag about their team, which i don’t really know who does. I just look at them as an indicator what ESPN thinks of who and whose bandwagon they are on.

If one pass gets deflected at the LoS and falls into the hands of a defender for a pick-6, we’ve lost the game. Our offense has the team walking on thin ice.

LeBeau’s defense can keep just about any opponent to less than 17 points, but our offense needs to contribute. The offense cannot give the opponent short-field opportunities as they did in the beginning and middle of the season. They don’t need to play “elite” football, but they cannot make big mistakes and must put at least an average number of points on the board.
