Baltimore offensive philosophy

[chum1]

Good call, KK.

I had a coaching-mate at Virginia in Anthony Poindexter who was on the Baltimore (Ravens) World Championship team. We had a little time there at Virginia where we weren’t scoring as many points in some games as we’d liked – things weren’t going perfectly. He reminded us that Baltimore went five weeks without scoring an offensive touchdown the year they won the Super Bowl. That always stuck in my mind.

That's freaking brilliant!

you laugh, but that is good stuff.

I seriously think Snyder became obessed with outyarding the opponent, and totally forgot you need to score more points than the opposition to win. Our stats in 2002,2003 were lovely.

I will admit I loved watching Baltimore that year.

I think defensive struggles are so much more intense...every play just feels more important.  I know I'm in the minority, but I love a game when you feel like every punt will likely be the biggest play of the game so far.

I agree, there's nothing better than a good ol' fashioned puntoff.

That, and if you say you like "defensive games" more than high-scoring ones...it sounds like you are a football purist .

It really does help out my street cred.

Screw shootouts and defensive struggles, I love games where we win by like 50.

So you just loooooved the KC/Indy playoff game in '03, then, right?
