We definitely tried to put this game away early

If they run three times punt it back and give the Ravens a FG, which is easily obtainable with Tucker, people are still losing their mind about being too conservative. End of half management is a no win situation here. Marvin has earned that though, but I still think the call last night was right. 

Yeah I do not care about imaginary people losing their imaginary shit in an imaginary situation.
I have a hard time believing that any neutral person watching could quite understand a 14 seconds, no timeout drive with a 28-7 lead. 28-10, I take that too.
Most happily of course, I take the first down after two runs and maybe even a pass. And I take the two timeouts Baltimore loses. Then I can shoot perhaps.

Yeah that doesn't make sense to me. We couldn't score after the half time, so we needed to score before half time, so even though we couldn't score there either, it still was the right call to throw in hindsight.

No it was not.
