How can you not see that a blocked punt for a TD scored points for us to keep the Ravens game close?
Never once said that we got beat on a fluke by the raiders, nor that any game was closer than the score.
Great- the Ravens outplayed us all day. But a blocked punt for a TD is hardly a freak play- you rush the punter in order to try to get a blocked punt (especially near the end zone where you might block it and get a safety or a... touchdown). And of course, my point was, freak play or not, it was 7 points, and I don't care which segment of the team it came from.
I don't care about folks being negative, but it's the immediate, knee-jerk panic where *some* folks start talking about trading away our #1 WR so he can get better stats and enjoy the game somewhere else, or how we're going 0-16, or if we should switch to watching our second favorite team.
Losing sucks- I can't wait until we're winning. If for no other reason than we get to stop having exchanges like this.
