Ravens: Up against it already

Sure enough, Peyton Manning dropped a huge play on the Ravens on that first possession, the 66-yard strike to Pierre Garcon setting up a quick touchdown and putting the onus on Joe Flacco and the offense to answer.

The Ravens dodged a bullet on a Lardarius Webb fumble on the ensuing kickoff, getting the play overturned on replay, but need to do something with this first possession to change the early momentum. So far, they've largely kept the ball on the ground and have grinded out two first downs.

Footloose: The Ravens had to burn a timeout moments ago because Jared Gaither and Ben Grubbs both threw a shoe. When was the last time you saw that happen?

Who throws a shoe? Honestly!

Pete's reply: I don't know. Obviously, they had a bad lacing day.

Thoroughbreds throw shoes in races quite frequently. It's a shame we didn't see some of the Colt offensive linemen throw theirs. Must have a really good blacksmith.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
