We have seen it time and again, but I guess you don’t know until you try.

Except in this case, it has already been tried. And it was a failure. Simply being a good OC does not make a you a good head coach. The skillsets are quite different. So please stop trying to pretend otherwise.

I am a steelers fan as my handle easily says but anyone who watched this game and doesn’t give props to Caldwell doesn’t know football.

Second, black position coaches are too often disrespected in this league. Let’s not forget that the mess with the Colts was the GM and QB’s (Peyton Manning) doing. They built their team around Peyton, they didn’t invest in a backup QB and the defense was put together to stop the pass and not the run based on how often their offense scores and how the opponent they are playing has to abandon the run and pass to catch up. So what happens when you lose that QB, well the team unravels, because it was built poorly. To hang that on Caldwell is stupid. First for the owner who fired Caldwell and for the rest of the league who didn’t give Caldwell another shot.

Flacco threw up a couple of prayers that normally would have been picked or knocked down, everyone gets lucky time to time. Caldwell had much better talent around him in Indy and couldnt get it done so whats changed here. the Denver defense the strength of this team had a real bad gm so lets keep things in perspective here. next wk they are going to New England where Belichick and Brady will take them to school. the Ravens will come up short again against the Patriots.

Manning’s choice as successor to Dungy and led the team to a Superbowl in his 1st season as a HC then has relieved Cam Cameron at the most crucial point in the season and has the Ravens playing their best ball of the season and he doesn’t deserve another shot as HC somewhere?LOL SMDH

I agree with Jakec4, some Ravens fans will always find something to complain about. It’s great being in Hawaii right now so I don’t have to hear all the calls for Tyrod Taylor over Flacco.

He has that quiet demeanor thing going. But I saw nothing Saturday that says he should be the “shot caller”. That offense had no imagination. Run up the middle, run up the middle, pass, repeat. Seriously. I felt sorry for Joe and Rice. You figure, OK, they setting up the play action. But it didn’t materialize. Don’t use that 70 yard TD as an example because that was a busted play that Joe caught a break on with the safety sleeping back there. Caldwell showed his inexperience in calling plays, which boggles my mind since he was a head coach once before. I can’t agree with him getting another shot because of today. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ceased being the OC after this year, win or lose. That is how badly I think he called this game.

If he did not inherent Payton Manning he would have been .500 or worse.

BTW, Jim Fassel took the Giants to the SB and can’t even get a job in the NFL. He wouldn’t have taken the Colts to the SB if not for Manning.

I agree with you (and Caldwell) in Rice’s usage and thought that he had the perfect amount of carries during the game. However, I dont think run-run-pass every single offensive series is gonna keep working for us.

25cuts: i am so sorry that I said that “we” won instead of saying “the ravens” won. I dont know what I was thinking…if theres anything I can do to make up for this please let me know man. I promise it will never happen again.

—————————————————-

Coupled with the fact that he inherited Dungy’s superbowl team and after wining once with that team never made a legit contention again which is why he’s an OC in Baltimore and not still the HC in Indy.

Watch as he botches a time out call at the game’s end that literally had Peyton screaming, “WHAT?!!!!” That happened a LOT when he was coaching, as he seemed completely baffled by this crazy ‘time out’ system the NFL has. Great coordinator, bad head coach.

The fact of the matter is the Ravens play calling was simply awful today. They won becasue Manning pulled his usual playoff el-fold-o, and Denvers play calling was just as laughable.

Also, theres a reason this guy was fired by the Colts… he was a so-so coach at best. That doesn’t change because the Ravens clawed their way to a win tonight.

Ill be the first to say that we won today in spite of Caldwell. His play calling in the 4th and OT were some of the most predictable/horrible calls ive seen in some time.

—————————————————————-

Ravens fan here as well. We wanted Cam gone for not giving the ball to Rice, but now Caldwell has to eat crap for wanting to give Rice the ball? That’s just dumb. There is a reason they gave Rice all of that money. Denver isn’t exactly chopped liver. Not all running plays are going to work, but it’s worse if they don’t even try. There is just no pleasing some Ravens fans ever.

But as for the second half and OT, I’ve seen better play calling from my Chiefs.

That was one of the dumbest 2nd half gameplans I’ve ever seen.

“Hmmm… Torrey Smith beat Champ Bailey 4 times in the first half and when Flacco threw decent passes, he caught 2 TDs…………. let’s not try that ever again.”
