quotemokc Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 This might have been the worst offensive play of the game for us. 1st and goal at the 1 and we lose 15 yards... Yes it was a hurry up call but was Ridder meant to keep it or hand it off? Defies belief that you don't run it up the gut in this situation.

Looked like a boot pass trying to get an easy TD to that outside wr, linemen look like they are setting up to pass block all the way. Blown call by the refs though, no way that should have been grounding. Throw was clearly impacted by a defender hitting his arm.

JDaveG Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Sprint option is a staple red zone play in the WCO. Ridder has to throw it away if it isn’t there. Nothing at all wrong with that play call. Mister pudding, Rings, ShoNuff and 21 others 17 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, that throw wasn't there, he needs to expedite that decision to get rid of it.

DonDaLuvMaker Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 It was a boot out to OZ but the Ravens defense wasn't fooled by the play action fake to the RB and continued their eyes on Ridder. It happens because it's such a common play now. Thought AS should've been more create down there in the redzone.

atljbo Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 its a sprint option.... i have no issue with the play... it was a bulll**** call so im not gonna let the Refs off the hook but Ridder has to throw the ball out of bounds when he see it isnt there... its not going to open up with more time JohnnyFranchise, ShoNuff, PokerSteve and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanadonis Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Its Arthur Smith trying to fool the defense every time.

Falcons_Frenzy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I didn't watch the game but if the Falcons lost 15 on that play it's on Ridder.

Nothing at all wrong with that play call. That play actually looked like it might have had a chance had Ridder thrown it right after the play fake. He'll learn. Can't hold onto the ball in that situation where space is limited and windows close even faster. Yeah, looking at it a couple more times, had he thrown it just inside the pyle on as soon as he snapped his head around that might have TD as Zaccheus or whoever that was had just made his break and had decent separation.

Bad call by the refs (there were at least 3 really bad ones that weren't waved off or overturned), but nothing wrong with the play. Looked like a typical rigged game to me. Home refs were extremely good to Baltimore, especially when we got into the red zone.

I’m assuming it was miscommunication because it looks like it might’ve was supposed to be a bootleg and toss to the WR or TE but there was no one there and the linebackers came through immediately making Ridder have to try to throw it away. If that’s not what it was I have no idea wth they were doing on that one. Edited December 25, 2022 by TheRisen999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel_Bird Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Would rather run it really. But this one looks to me like it’s on Ridder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 The 4th and goal with 7mins to go in the 4th was worse. Motion a blocker to the short side of the field, drawing the D that way, then run wide (to the left, the weaker side of your OL in run blocking) against LBs whose strength is lateral run defense. Whatever genius Smith has with creating a run game must've been taking a toilet break during that sequence, because it was crappy.

mc Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Ravens had the #1 run D. Call makes sense. The refs bad a horrible call and cost us 2 tds yesterday. JohnnyFranchise, rounz and Freddies 3rd Cuz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Didn’t like that whole sequence. Looking at the angle that Ridder was releasing the ball, I don’t think that ball is making it past the LOS even if the defender doesn’t touch his arm.

Redjack Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Arthur Smith is a genius and doesn’t owe anyone an explanation.

bossFALCON™ Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 My primary knock on Ridder thus far is he waits too long to throw it away sometimes. The int called back against NO, plus his couple of sacks that game and this past game. This one should’ve been a quick throw away when it wasn’t there instead of holding onto it trying to pull some pat mahommes style throw off. Just throw it away. We still had 22 seconds and a timeout left. Defenders close too quickly in the NFL. ShoNuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
