Captain Gsxr's Observations: November 24

So last week the Ravens snuck into Pittsburgh and snuck out with a win. The offense was terrible. If it wasn't for Jacoby Jones we would have lost. Joe flacco struggled in the face of the good Pittsburgh defensive pressure. It was like he regressed to a few years ago where he panics in the pocket. Now the real issue is the play calling once again. I am sure i have commented on this before but why would we run pass plays for 8 yards on a third down and we need 10? This is an old question that i will never understand. If you say the receivers or tightends aren't open deeper, why wouldn't the sort route at least get to the sticks as there isn't much point in a completion 2-3 yards short. The good news is the defense is actually improving. They're showing quarterback pressure and the secondary made some big plays. This weekend we have to go to San Diego and face the no quite together chargers. I think we can win if the offense decides to play.

This was thanksgiving week and I enjoyed celebrating with the family. I also smoked a turkey which took longer than expected but turned out very good. I also played paintball. It was cold and actually there was a few flurries. The cold didn't bother me too much and I actually wasn't too sore after running around out there. It's probably going to be a few months before we play again but it was fun. Last weekend I put the boat away. A Sad day of the year:
