I Was Totally Wrong About Marvin and the Defense

I mean every stinking time the Ravens ran the ball they were 3 yards before anyone touched them. Any sort of misdirection and it fools this team to the point that it looks clownish, like they are trying NOT to tackle the runner.

The Ravens had one shot at winning this game and it was running the ball, you knew it, the Bengals knew it, your grandmother in Nebraska knew it etc...  That is what is so utterly defeating about this loss. They came out and told us what they were going to do and they did it. Not one Bengal wanted to stop it either.

I completely agree with the bolded... especially after they came out running the ball 15(!!!!!!) times in a row. There was no balanced offense (54 rushing attempts to 19 pass). It was like 1990's football. At least we only gave up 403 yards?   We stopped the consecutive 500 yard games, so that is progress.
