Unfocused & Undisciplined

The Ravens lucked out today, thanks to 2 dropped TD's by the Jets in the last 2 minutes. The Ravens got a big lead and then got sloppy and were again victimized by lousy playcalling by Billick. In addition, they suffered 2 more major injuries - Trevor Price & Demetrius Williams. Williams' injury can be blamed on some horrible playcalling by Billick, trying a bomb with a 7 point lead and 3 minutes left.

The Ravens had 8 penalties, compared to 2 by the Jets. The Jets had no business even being in the game, falling behind 20-3 with a QB making his first start. But the Ravens got sloppy on defense and Billick refused to commit to the run. It's a good thing they didn't spend $40 million on a running back or anything.

If the Ravens finish with less than 10 wins, Billick needs to go. Newsome gets this team so much talent but unless little is expected, Billick underachieves with it.
