I still think the Ravens are a good team with a good defense. They were just second guessing themselves. They thought they knew peytons plays from Stokely, Dallas Clark, and Jim Caldwell, but Peyton, being the great QB he is, changed the signals or made adjustments to the routes.

The Ravens defense was doing ok until like you said the offense started getting hurt (losing Jacoby Jones didn't help because he was getting open) with Michael Oher hurting his leg and a rookie going out there against a good denver defense. Then they started having too many 3 and outs and all the momentum went to Denvers offense and the Ravens just got gased and tired. I still think Baltimore is a play off team, but last night was a beat down and wake up call to that team. They're a very well run franchise. They will adjust.
