You were there, you tell me, but watching on TV I felt everything just drain from the stadium. I slumped back in front of my computer and thought, "Man, we are ****ED now."

That play (or one very similar) had worked earlier for about 12 yards, I think. I haven't seen a replay, but it appeared to me that it was very poorly blocked. We had one guy (RT? TE?) who found himself rolling around on the ground in the backfield about the time our RB got the handoff.
The Ravens D is really good and they played that thing well. We got our ass handed to us on that play and it wasn't quite the same ass we had before.
Sometimes you get the bear. Sometimes you're a tent burrito.
I don't think that particular play evidenced a coaching flaw as much as poor clutch execution and some good, damn defense.
