Our Defense has been head shoulders better the second half the season vs the first 6 games. Football outsiders had ranked like 30th or 29th at the beginning of the season and its slowly climbed towards the middle of the pack since. Our pass rush struggles and safety play is still our biggest weakness

This team, every player imo, wants to take this team higher. That is a characteristic of great teams. I don't think I have heard even a whisper of back biting or infighting, even when we were at 3-6. Bullet #9 from the ten observations article sums it up pretty well:

Linebacker Rob Jackson also played more on third downs in the second half and recorded a sack and drew a holding penalty. Jackson often comes out in these situations, partly because if he’s on the field the opposition knows he’s going to rush. It’s harder to block if there’s some doubt and you can scheme certain rushes by having a guy fake the rush and drop. With Jackson, there’s no faking because he’s rarely going to drop into coverage. That’s why Lorenzo Alexander has played ahead of him on these downs. But not Monday. “I told [defensive coordinator Jim Haslett] to let me get some third downs,” Jackson said. “He left me out there and he believed in me. I felt I had to show up. If I’m asking for an opportunity I have to go show him.”

Unfortunately for the Ravens they couldnt beat the Steelers with their 3rd string QB. The Ravens are going nowhere with Flacco which the Skins are poised to start going places with RG3. The Skins will beat the Ravens.

Wasn't the play fake on that just sick? JPP collapsed on Morris like a cheap tent in a hurricane.

The play calling by and large was brilliant. Had the Giants biting on D repeatedly

Rob Jackson went to work last night.

I'd be shocked if Trent Williams, Morris, RGIII, and Young don't makes the Pro Bowl.

They need to leave Jackson in all obvious passing plays. Love One Man Gang but he cant rush the passer with a sh*t.

Who laughed out loud when Gruden called D Hall a shutdown corner last night?

I hear you but there were still a handful of plays that didn't work. I still think the play calling is suspect. Don't forget the two fumbles (RG3 & Alfmo); SMH.
