Ravens: This doesn't look good
One of the biggest questions facing the Ravens after two straight losses was the porous secondary, and that question is not being answered the way Ravens fans might have hoped today at the Metrodome.
Brett Favre went right down the field and scored on the Vikings' first possession, finding a wide-open Visanthe Shiancoe for a 21-yard touchdown pass. He did the same thing on his second drive, marching into the end zone against minimal resistance. Bernard Berrian was wide open for a four-yard touchdown.
This has got to be Greg Mattison's worst nightmare. The Ravens needed to find a way to slow the Vikings quick-strike offense, but they've looked almost helpless on those first two Minnesota possessions. It's starting to look like the wrong team is not as good as its record.

Halftime Observations:
That official sure threw a nice block for Peterson.
Mason should have considered catching that deep pass.
Chris Carr is a bum.

Favre is average when he has pressure in his face.Cb's are scaring me more this week!

Average?!?!?!? So.... An average QB is beating the Ravens to death???? Adrian sure isn't doing it, so it has to be Favre?

This secondary isn't just bad-- it's horrendous. They can't cover anybody. Super Bowl?! They won't even make the playoffs. This is an 8-8 team, at best. Damn waste of one of Ray's last few productive years. Ozzie needs to go back to the drawing board.

I agree with JT, Ray Lewis looked miserable on the sidelines before halftime. We had a terrible QB for his prime years (Boller), and now have a terrible defense in his last years. Dump Carr, play Webb, conjure up some trade for a shutdown corner, we don't need a receiver yet, we can obviously move the ball. Nobody in our secondary can cover anyone, with the exception of Reed. I am however, starting to become a Tavares Gooden fan, dude is good.
