View Full Version : If Billick comes back I may not - What a dunce
Why not show some sack and go for the damn win in regulation?
We pay McGahee a damn fortune and we can't trust him to get SIX INCHES!!!!
What did we have to lose?
What an absolute joke of a decision.
Just leave "Brain", just leave.

You know, I totally agree. I don't think Billick has any feel for this game anymore. I know going for it would be a gamble but, show your team you have faith in them and go get the win.
the team has quit. Watching the Scott interview right now and you can tell it in his body posture and his voice.
They won't win another game this season.
I agree its a gamble.
So what? We were 4-9. What does he have to lose?
Draw a damn line in the sand and play with courage. Don't wussy out and "play the percentages."
You could tell it pissed off the team because there was a definite shouting match that happened on the sidelines.
Again, we were 4-9 and needed six inches.
Man up.
If you can't get six inches then you deserve to lose.

It will be U-G-L-Y when we end the season against the Steelers.
Can we have a running clock?

Here is an idea....how about blaming Stover for missing the field goal in overtime. I love Stover but that is his only job, and he blew it. It was ultimately Stover's fault for the loss.

That would be a no. And I'm not taking about Japanese theater, either.

You could tell Billick and Troy Smith had a heated discussion on the sidelines. I can't believe that with the way Willis, Musa and even Mike Anderson were running today, Billick didn't have the grapefruits to do what he was suppose to do. Next up, Seattle.

Based on everything we've heard so far, Billick will in fact be back next year.

I thought the announcers said it was a bad snap. Could that be a reason the kick was wide right?

Most times, a bad snap will result in a kicker pushing the ball to the right... I believe Stove hooked that one, didn't he? I didn't really see the game.

Stover didn't draw the game plan. Stover didn't prepare the team for the game. Stover didn't call the offense. He may have had a chance to win the game, but Billick never put this team in the place to win the game. This game loss, and many this year, was more than just a missed FG.

If Billick has any feel for the team, he will put SMith in for the rest of the season. The players have lost faith in Kyle again. Give Smith a shot and this team will play with some determination again. Otherwise, hello 4-12.
Not that it matters though. 4-12 would get us a decent pick in the draft.

My favorite part was when Billick started flipping out at the offense on the field who didn't come off very quickly in an attempt to convince Billick to go for it. He was basically screaming at them that he's the king and he makes the decisions. What an embarassingly meek decision it was to kick the field goal. I started rooting for the Ravens to lose immediately after that decision.

The snap wasn't good. It was high and behind the holder. The holder did a great job of getting the ball down. On the replay, it didn't look like it affected the timing of Stover, but maybe it did just slightly.

Going for it on 4th and inches is not even as large a gamble as many here would imply. The Ravens have at least a 75% chance of scoring a touchdown from 6 inches away. Overtime is basically decided by the coin toss, especially considering the Ravens have a fairly porous defense right now. Thus, the Ravens are left with a 50% chance to win in overtime.
News flash, Brian Billick: Prolonging the game doesn't necessarily increase your chances of victory. Let the team live and die by its most productive player (McGahee).

Not even 50%.
You have to add in the chances of the Ravens driving far enough to get within field-goal range, and the chances of Stover making the kick (as stunning as the miss was it just shows that even Matt the Magnificent isn't perfect).
My guess is the chance is 40-45 percent.

I wanted them to go for it. I'm mean what's there to lose?
But I think overall, you'd have to figure you're making a call that one of the outcomes is you lose the game.
I guess I don't have a problem with it either way. Everything went according to plan after that until Stover missed. But whatever...
