In a vacuum, it’s mostly a harmless situation. “Unfortunately, that hasn’t been happening for us, so we have to do whatever we can to make sure that it does”.

“‘I don’t know why they were going out on that drive”, Harbaugh said. And obviously we’re down at the end and guys made a couple big plays down the stretch there to get us into that position that we were.
“It was way too much communication going on for the amount of time we had left”, Flacco said. And that was where it was clearly deception. “Usually when I tackle somebody, they are down”. “I have been begging for that all year and it was great I had the opportunity to get to that passer today”. That’s why guys were open, because we didn’t ID where the eligible receivers were at.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “What else am I going to do?” The eight-point margin of defeat Monday actually was the largest for the now 1-6 Ravens. Two birds, one stone. The Ravens don’t look prepared on gameday to face their opponents. “Should figure it out”. Before Monday, Baltimore had blown fourth-quarter leads three times and twice staged comebacks that fell short, leading to the worst start in franchise history. “Do not cover Number 34”. You just leave yourselves in third-down situations.
The Ravens’ complaint was the second of its kind in Week 7.
As the Cardinals looked to take time off the clock on the next drive, Palmer was ruled to have intentionally grounded the ball when throwing it out of play under pressure and the penalty helped the Ravens to earn possession just inside the two-minute warning. He lost it in Week 2 of this season, when he put his own spin on the Patriots’ trick formation and used it to score a first-quarter touchdown against the Raiders.
Harbaugh seemed more miffed by two calls. Have a few tact, John. Arizona cornerback Jerraud Powers left the game with a hamstring injury in the first half…. Especially when you lose both games in Oakland and Arizona. “That’s what I’m putting on my Yelp”.
Nothing has been made official, but Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the two-time Super Bowl victor, who missed four games with a sprained knee and bruised leg, was “close” to starting Sunday in the team’s 23-13 loss at Kansas City.
Gillmore said he didn’t change his route after seeing Jefferson back away, but added that he could have run it better. And yet, John Harbaugh’s team had a shot to tie the game in the closing seconds, from inside Arizona’s red zone.
It was like déjà vu of the Week 1 ending in Denver, and not too dissimilar from other endings to Ravens games this season. The 30-yearold running back, signed late in training camp after recovering from a gunshot wound during the offseason, topped 100 yards for the third time this season.
The Ravens had to settle for a field goal on that drive.

“Forward progress was stopped”, Harbaugh said. The whistle never blew, however, and Johnson took off, making it all the way to the Ravens 8-yard line. As the first team to have ever gotten boned by bad officiating, someone should do something.
