Quite a few blown calls, or missed calls helped the broncos as well...
There were several holding calls missed against broncos offense, but surprisingly none missed against the ravens.
The Welker pass should never have been ruled a completion but it was. And the blown challenge cost the Ravens dearly.
The unnecessary roughness call was a joke... the guy was still in bounds when he got pushed out. Broncos made a very similar move with no call.
Flacco is not and will never be worth 120 million. At the same time, people like to blame the loss on him and him alone in order to talk about how bad they think he is. The truth of the matter though is he's not responsible for the countless dropped passes when the ball was right where it needed to be. He is not responsible for the defense getting abused like they did.
All in all he played a pretty good game; but a weak receiving corps, weak TE's, Jones getting injured by his own damn team mate, Pitta out for the season (probably), and the Boldin trade which I'll never understand; makes for a very difficult time.
Keep in mind too that with the countless problems and mistakes offense, they still scored 27 points.
Oher getting hurt - again by his own team mate - in the 2nd half didn't help things either. That rookie they threw in there had no chance.
All in all, they lost their first game of the season with a shit load of new and mostly younger players, so it's going to take a few games for them to find some kind of flow. I'm not sure how well they'll be though with the WR/TE issues they currently have.
Torrey Smith isn't consistent enough to be called the #1 receiver, and none of the other guys are good enough (so far) to fill the void either.
The key thing here to remember though is this: The Broncos may have won this game, dominated the hell out of this game even, but they lost the one that mattered most against the Ravens so all the hype and trash talk is really quite pointless at this stage. Like someone stated above, this was a very different game against a very different - and quite inexperienced - Ravens team.
Time will tell how things play out over the next few weeks.
I sure as hell hope they shitcan that retarded ass rookie who injured Jones though. You can't find them any fucking dumber than that... Why he was even high-tailing it after the ball to begin with is beyond me, considering his job was to block, not go after and try to get the ball...
