The Bad:

The Ravens offensive line was frustrating in this game. While Marshall Yanda didn’t play, Vlad Ducasse wasn’t the only problem up front for the Ravens. Flacco got sacked twice, but he was pressured much more than that. On one sack, Alex Lewis failed to slide over and Ronnie Stanley did next to nothing. On another the offensive line got beat on a three man rush. That just shouldn’t happen.

Flacco’s two interceptions were awful decisions and worse throws. Flacco also missed a wide open Steve Smith Sr. coming across the field for a sure touchdown, electing to throw it out of the back of the end zone instead. The Ravens settled for a field goal after a great drive. Flacco was efficient in this game. However the few mistakes he made were downright awful mistakes.

The Ravens did not have a bad game. There were certainly things that happened that were frustrating. There is no doubt about that.
