Baltimore Defense vs Indy Offense (2006 Divisional Playoffs)

[@KiloMafia9]

2006 Ravens most underrated defense of all time

[@yayarea5109]

Facts my favorite Ravens defense ...reed in his prime ....man only if we had an above average offense.

[@arsonhakobyan]

03 Ravens have argument too, and ironically, it was their stacked defense that couldn't stop McNair (their quarterback in this game) in the home Wild Card Game that yr on the last drive, including a missed tackle by Ray Lewis on Eddie George on 3rd down, that would've given the ball back to the Ravens w/ a minute-&-a-half to go, and score tied at 17.

[@IronMan50780]

Best defense I've ever seen.

[@941Offroad]

Best team they ever had. I was there that place was on fire too bad the offense was so pathetic that day.

[@playoffexpert3938]

@@arsonhakobyan 2008 and 2011 comes to mind too

[@KiloMafia9]

Ed Reed had one of the greatest games you will ever see

[@BRockin25]

Colts defense in that era was underrated, Freeney and Mathis up front etc

[@robertpaulson208]

Had trash line backers tho

[@yaahlabanyamyan144]

​@@robertpaulson208you are tripping. Cato June, Gary Bracket, those boys were fast and hit

[@robertpaulson208]

@Ya-ahla Banyamyan 🦁 Gary bracket was less then average and so June had like 1 or 2 decent years lmao dude they were scrubs. And undersized

[@P0RKINS2]

Freeney & Mathis were both future HOF’ers but the Manning era Colts defense is a story of two defenses: - Colts defense w/ Bob Sanders > 17.7 PPG allowed (5th) > 7th in turnovers forced > 20th vs the Run > 21st on 3rd Down - Colts defense w/o Bob Sanders > 22.5 PPG allowed (24th) > 25th in turnovers forced > 31st vs the Run > 32nd on 3rd Down It’s JJ Watt syndrome; Freeney & Mathis were both amazing but that doesn’t mean the defenses they played on were.

[@robertpaulson208]

@@P0RKINS2 freeny Mathis and Bob sanders were all.they had . Corners were average at best backers were trash . Nose tackles trash

[@truebruh2825]

Ed Reed plays his tail off

[@dau1024]

Everyone remembers Ed Reed's performance in this game, and rightfully so, but Chris McAlister gets forgotten....he shut down who ever was on his side between Harrison/Wayne all game

[@DustinPlatt]

Offense let this team down when it counted.

[@arsonhakobyan]

@@nathendelreal1952 And that was what they got Steve McNair for the previous off season too; for the quarterback position to not be their achilles heel, and here in the biggest game of the season, it was. They had a devastating defense + run game in 03 too, and I think Anthony Wright (who did better than Kyle Boller by the way) would've outperformed McNair in this game.

[@josephvanhorn5347]

The 2006 Ravens defense was unbelievable and is largely forgotten. This is where the Ravens ranked defensively in the following categories... - Points - 1st (12.1) - Interceptions - 1st (28) - Passes defended 1st (115) - Red Zone TD’s allowed - 1st (11) - Red Zone TD percentage - 1st (33.3) - Rushing TD allowed - 1st (5) - AY/Passing Attempt - 1st (4.9) - 3rd down percentage - 1st (28.8) - Sacks - 2nd (60 SD had 61 and no one else had more than 47) - Yards allowed - 1st (4,225 More than 300 fewer yards than next best defense) - Penalties - 1st (79) - Interception/Fumble return TD - 1st (6) They were also the only defense in the entire NFL to have a higher percentage of opponents drives result in turnovers than points. They ranked 1st in points, plays, and time per possession. All 3 of their LB’s and 2/4 players from their secondary made the pro bowl. Ed Reed and Adalius Thomas were 1st team all-pro. Terrell Suggs was a pro bowler, too. 9 of their 11 defensive starters combined to make 45 pro bowls. 8 of their starters combined to be named first team all-pro 19 times. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are already in the hall of fame. Terrell Suggs might join them. Baltimore has finished in the top 10 in points allowed in 17 of the last 22 seasons. They’ve been in the top 3 in 9 of those seasons. They’ve also been in the top 10 in yards allowed in 18 of the last 22 years and in the top 5 in 11 of them.

Goddamn the Ravens were the best Defensive team for so long

[@johnyoyo6141]

The best most complete defense of all time only loss cus McNair was washed up n the colts had Vinateri

[@greatestnitemare6626]

They still lost though lol

[@ajbahus]

Dems the breaks. A much inferior Ravens team beat a superior Broncos team led by Peyton in 2013 on a hail mary pass. Football is cruel that way. @@greatestnitemare6626

[@dau1024]

they did shut down the colts offense though@@greatestnitemare6626

[@PENS68]

This had to be salt in the wounds for The City of Baltimore, not only losing this playoff game, but losing it to the franchise that called Baltimore home for a long long time.

[@justamaninTN]

10:27 was unbelievable. What a throw.

[@henryheisenberg]

relax. that was a good throw, nothing unbelievable about that.

[@Phinal_Flash]

It's kind of crazy how the divisional round can be the toughest round for some of these teams with a bye week.

[@BRockin25]

Typically true for Baltimore, they have never really been well coached

[@EnochByrd]

Relative to their era, this is actually the best defense ever.

[@arsonhakobyan]

Not better than 00 Ravens defense, or 02 Bucs defense (which wasn't as good as 00 Ravens defense). You know that Ray Lewis was on 00 team?

[@Eli-ss9gj]

@@arsonhakobyan of course ,but arguably this was a better all around defense compared to 2000. This defense was excellent against the run AND the pass.

[@arsonhakobyan]

@@Eli-ss9gj So was 00 defense. But the 00 defense was just stupid, allowing just 10ppg. When you can win the Super Bowl w/ Trent Dilfer as your quarterback, and no elite wide receivers, your defense is awesome. 06 defense may had had 1-2 more big names, and giving up just 13ppg is also really awesome. But as a unit, the 00 team was as clean of a tackling unit, allowing no gaps, as there was since the 70s Steel Curtain. Even the 85 Bears were vulnerable at defending against the deep ball, as Dan Marino showed on that Monday Nighter. Fortunately for them, they almost never needed to, cause their front-7 was just so dominating at stuffing everything at the line, and then getting to the quarterback in known passing situations.

[@marvinlynch1305]

@@arsonhakobyan Statistically the 2000 Raven defense was better...but the '06 defense played much better offenses

[@arsonhakobyan]

@@marvinlynch1305 Not much better offenses. The Tennessee Titans could really kill the clock, and the Oakland Raiders had all the weapons.

[@williambinder1414]

All the scoring is field goals. Why not show them??

[@bschlude]

just throw the ball colts

[@willalexanderr]

Colts had no business winning that game. Offense shit the bed hard, and the miracle resurgence year of Steve McNair came to a disappointing end. That defense stimied Manning from the first motherfucking snap. Seemed also every bounce went colts way, and we managed to drop 3 or more interceptions.

[@BrettJorden87]

Well....who won?

[@stevee231]

If someone would've told me Peyton throws zero touchdowns, I would've bet the farm on the Ravens winning.
