There are also some encouraging signs my friend.
While Kirk has missed some big play throws we expect him to make, he is still 6th overall in passing yards through the air and 6th in total passing yards. I tend to believe Kirk will start connecting on more long balls .. but he has hit some. He will get better.

Also, did you know our defense has not given up a 2nd half touchdown for 3 games now? I didnt know that. Thats pretty good second half adjustment by our pinata boy Barry and Fewell and co. Of course that stat coincides with our 3 game win streak coming against 2 winning teams. Which is nice. A lil win streak in the first half of a season is always a welcome guest.
Our 3rd down defense has to improve and I think they kept the Ravens to a conversion rate of 3/15 or something like that. Thats a start. Id like more of that please.
