I dont think we played bad today and I will explain why

I thought...

the Ravens did a great job of completely shutting down our short passing game by jumping on the swing pass and batting passes down. In all of our games leading up to this one it seems Payton likes to get Brees in a rythem early with the swing passes and the Ravens completely took that away. Even when he was'nt getting passes knocked down, he was having to hold on to the ball or have to pull back in on those swings and therefore he did'nt have much of an outlet if those plays did'nt work. Maybe we can come out looking down field early against Tampa and come back to the dumpoffs to Reggie and Deuce a little later.
