Week 6: Vikings pull a close win making Ravens 3-3

A close game that ended with a missed 44yd field goal gave the Ravens another loss. Bumping us to 3rd in the AFC with the Steelers & Bengals ahead of us! This was a hard hitting game where, in the end, we were just outplayed. Our offense played a little better making a couple drives late in the game. Farve destroyed our (already terrible) secondary giving the Vikings an early lead in the first half. The second half of the game new secondary guys came in who don't see the field as often. But I felt they played better than Washington & Foxworth usually do. The first TD was a result of both those guys running into each other as the WRs crossed...isn't that a peewee football move? Washington really needs to be benched & they need to let the Rookies step up. Obviously, he isn't doing his job when we're ranked 25th in the league against the pass. Even the 2nd string Walker came in but he caused 2 critical penalties that gave the offense an easy TD. Rice was our only answer to Andrian Peterson. He had 2 TDs, one a 33yd rush. Petersan ran for 69 yards but had another 60 yards receiving. He also got 1 TD but we did a relatively decent job shutting down him & Chester Taylor. In the end it was really a battle of the kickers Longwell kicked a 40yd field goal earlier which gave them a 3pt lead throughout the rest of the game. Hauschka had the last couple seconds on the clock to kick a win, but kicked wide & gave us another loss. Ray Rice said after the game "It is frustrating,But at the same time, 3-3 going into a bye week is not always the worst thing in the world. I think we were in the same position last year, if I am not mistaken. I don’t like to compare this year’s team to last year’s team. One thing we are doing is establishing our identity. -BR.com
