The Ravens played horrible on offense and they still almost won the football game last night which is quite amazing.  Steve McNair started the game and he didn’t look too sharp as he completed 5 of 8 passes for 29 yards with 1 interception.  Kyle Boller looked a tad better completing 6 of 9 passes for 73 yards.  Drew Olson made a brief appearance and he only completed 1 of 4 passes for 6 yards.  Rookie Troy Smith looked much better than he did in his first game.  He completed 4 of 8 passes for 60 yards and he also carried the football 1 time for 8 yards.  Willis McGahee had a really tough game as he carried the ball 6 times for 3 yards (0.5 ypc).  Mike Anderson looked really sharp as he carried the ball 3 times for 37 yards (12.3 ypc) showing off great power in finishing his runs.  Cory Ross also had a decent game running the football with 5 carries for 20 yards (4.0 ypc).  Undrafted rookie WR Matt Willis looked the best of the receivers last night for the Ravens as he caught 3 passes for 41 yards (13.7 avg).  The Ravens have some work to do on offense after watching the game last night.  They carried the football 21 times for 75 yards (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 29 passes for 136 yards.

The Ravens couldn’t get off the field on defense as the Giants were ball hogs holding onto the football for 35:51 of the football game.  The Giants carried the football 34 times for 182 yards (5.4 ypc) and they completed 15 of 25 passes for 116 yards.
