Not good enough...


The Ravens lost to the Indianapolis Colts by 2. The final score was 17-15. The game was a field goal race after Indianapolis came out and scored quickly on the first drive of the game. If just one of their many goal line attempts resulted in a touchdown rather then a field goal attempt, they would have won the game.

The defense did their part in preventing Peyton Manning from running up the score even though he had almost 300 passing yards. They forced several turnovers in key situations.

The offense was moving the ball in between the 20's but in the redzone they froze up. They started of the game as they usually do by not scoring a touchdown in the first half but when they clock struck 0 at the end of the fourth they still had not scored a touchdown. Bright spots- Ray Rice (20 carries-70 yards/7 catches-64 yards) and Derrick Mason (9 catches-142 yards).

Now the Ravens are at 5-5. People are saying they can get into the playoffs at 10-6. This means that in order for the Ravens to go they can only lose one more game. Honestly, it looks like the Ravens will not be playing in the playoffs this year. They are already sliding out of the picture and they have not even played Pittsburgh yet. Looks like serious trouble!
