The score suggests a defensive game, but that is a little deceiving because both the Dolphins and Ravens had success on their first possessions today.
The teams exchanged field goals on their first drives.
And the drives were long enough that it was the only possession each team had. So we are tied at 3-3 going into the second quarter.
Anyway, the live blog continues in the comments section here.







good catch cobbs

Wildcat with Brown taking the snap. Loss of 1 yard. I do believe that is the first time the formation has lost yardage.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:40 PM
can we please give ronnie the ball?
Posted by: michael | October 19, 2008 at 01:40 PM
could be a long day for the wildcat
Posted by: spiewak | October 19, 2008 at 01:40 PM
OK, this isn't looking so sharp so far. Penninton back at QB now, I believe.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
Wildcat self destruction.
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
we need to get ginn involved
Posted by: michael | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
interesting call qb sneak
Posted by: phil76 | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
They're setting up the throw from Ronnie out of the wildcat.
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
what was that?
Posted by: spiewak | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
what the f#$%?
Posted by: Pete in otown | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
Pennington on a sneak? Strange.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:41 PM
Mando why do we have to jump around after every quarter?
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 01:42 PM
no we still have to use the wildcat to make the defense keep wondering they may or maynot stop it but they won't everytime
Posted by: phil76 | October 19, 2008 at 01:42 PM
QB sneak on 2nd and 16? Uh.
Posted by: Cam Cameron | October 19, 2008 at 01:42 PM
man we must be doing something right, we are confusing this defense quite a bit today, although Chad confused me on that last play
Posted by: Pete in otown | October 19, 2008 at 01:42 PM
This is the game where the wildcat should take a break. The Ravens D is too good.
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:42 PM
THE BLOG MOVES BECAUSE MY NEWSPAPER WANTS ME TO UPDATE IN A NEW SECTION EVERY QUARTER. SO WHAT THE BOSS WANTS, THE BOSS GETS. USUALLY.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:44 PM
Chad not too sharp today
Posted by: Cam Cameron | October 19, 2008 at 01:44 PM
The Ravens seem to be doing some of what Saban was talking about. They blitzed on one of the wildcat plays.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:45 PM
pennington struggling so far.
Posted by: Eric | October 19, 2008 at 01:45 PM
ok so we shot our foot again
Posted by: phil76 | October 19, 2008 at 01:45 PM
You should be fined for punting into the endzone
Posted by: Cam Cameron | October 19, 2008 at 01:45 PM
That was still a good drive because we kept thier Don the filed and gave ours a good rest. That will help out offense in 4th qtr.
Posted by: Master | October 19, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Anyone out there scared of Joe Flacco? He looks no better than Cleo Lemon.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Tell your boss I said he is an idiot!
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 01:46 PM
defense time to shine
Posted by: farrington07 | October 19, 2008 at 01:46 PM
you mean Joe Sucko...
Posted by: Eric | October 19, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Ronnie Brown has 10 yards on 5 carries so far. Ricky has 9 yards on 2 carries.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Theres been a couple of bad passes from pennington now..
Posted by: Chase | October 19, 2008 at 01:47 PM
i agreee chad looks alittle off hopefully after a few series and a few more looks he'll settle down still think we have to stick to the run
Posted by: phil76 | October 19, 2008 at 01:47 PM
Cleo Lemon? That's BS. This guy is a rookie.
Posted by: Cam Cameron | October 19, 2008 at 01:47 PM
without ferguson they are going to keep running it at us
Posted by: spiewak | October 19, 2008 at 01:48 PM
No true NT is going to hurt us.
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Ouch we have to be able to stop the run with as bad as our pass D has been..
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 01:48 PM
should have been a pick
Posted by: spiewak | October 19, 2008 at 01:48 PM
OK, now I'm convinced Flacco stinks. That ball had no velocity on it. Awful. Which I guess is good.
Posted by: finheavenblows | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Thank God Mark Clayton is 6'5" 225
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Thats the difference between us.. Other teams come up with the picks there. 3 corners on one Wr and their WR almost comes down with it...
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
isn't 6'5"
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
theyre giving it to ronnie on such weird situations, dont you think armando?
Posted by: michael | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
We got off the field on a 3rd down! Wow.
Posted by: Prince | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
almost intercepted. Joe Sucko not looking good at all.
Posted by: Eric | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Flacco combines no velocity with no accuracy.. Solid combo.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Good stop!
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Now lets keep there D out there for a long time again.
Posted by: Master | October 19, 2008 at 01:49 PM
i agree should have been a pick but better than us trying and they somehow still come up with it
Posted by: phil76 | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Our punt return unit needs to block somebody, anybody.
Posted by: Joel | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Dolphin D looking good. off topic: STL 21 Dal 7 ... wow!
Posted by: kenviro | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
mark clayton isnt if 6' lol joel.. I think your thinking of the guy who plays for the bucs. Michael Clayton
Posted by: Chase | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
good blocking by ST
Posted by: spiewak | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Flacco blows
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
whoops meant marcus clayton
Posted by: Chase | October 19, 2008 at 01:50 PM
why isnt ginn returning punts? jesus, it's not like bess is outstanding and amazing out there?
Posted by: michael | October 19, 2008 at 01:51 PM
Davone Bess always makes one guy miss. Unfortunately, there are 10 other guys he can't get away from.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 19, 2008 at 01:51 PM
when is Ferguson back?
Posted by: Pete in otown | October 19, 2008 at 01:51 PM
Ravens are going to win because they have a better defense and are flipping field position.
Posted by: Prince | October 19, 2008 at 01:51 PM
What is going on in Buff-no power?
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 19, 2008 at 01:51 PM
Bt the way I heard on ESPN radio pre-game that Ravens moved Troy Smith up to #2 qb before game.
Posted by: Master | October 19, 2008 at 01:52 PM
starting to look like it will come down to the forth quarter again
