The Good, the bad, and the inability to beat good teams

Neither do I, but they missed a DPI on Moore, yet call a sorry ass OPI on Crabtree?
Yeah and the one thing I will say is that I figured maybe they were swallowing their whistles due to how late it was but nope. They didn’t swallow their whistles against us mainly KC. They definitely swallowed today though

The great: running game
The good: Lamar improved passing the ball
The bad: defense can't make tackles
The worst: referees

It’s infuriating. All I hear on this board is that he’s money on short passes and the only ones he has problems with are deep passes but he fucking throws behind receivers seemingly almost every time, even when they catch it, and he had some absolute shit throws today that should be easy.

I’m on board the lamar train but damn it’s getting difficult to watch some of this.
Yeah he’s thrown a lot of balls behind. I really hope he gets his shit together there because lamar has me more excited to be a raven fan than I’ve been since our perennial contenders era, but man those slants in the dirt and crossers thrown on the trail arm have got to stop.

I think that would be a mistake. Need to continue playing Lamar. He came in clutch and brought us down the field to tie the game ans pull ahead. Bad fumble, without question, but those are rookie mistakes that will be learned.

We don’t even know if Flacco would be cleared to play yet.
I think a fumble any other time on a play like that is a rookie thing but you can not fumble that no matter who you are. In that situation your number one priority needs to be protect the ball

Im proud of this team tbh...everyone except weddle that is. All he had to do was turn and look for the ball on that 4th and 9 and he didnt.

We always seem to get the worst breaks tho. From ticky tacky penalties on is to missed calls on the other teams to the ball bouncing away from suggs. There were so many plays today that couldve gone our way today but it just didnt seem to happen.

Now....weee neeeeeed to win out. Either that or hope the dolphins or colts lose another game. This team NEEDS to be in the playoffs.

This game honestly reminds me a little of that Denver game in 2012...which we lost, not nearly in the same fashion, but yet it sparked us to go on a superbowl run. Not saying the same will happen. But...it could spark us.

Chargers game looms large as i think well win our other 2

Mosley played well, I'm pretty sure he was trying to cover someone else's fuck up on 4th down play but the actual fuck up was not sending 4 on rush/pressure
Yeah, if Mosley's responsibility on that fourth down as actually Tyreek, then that's not on CJ. That's the fucking scheme.

@JO_75

Saying the refs fucked us and we need to close aren't exclusive. Both can be true. Why the fuck can't we stop people on 4th and fucking long.

The fact this has happened a lot in however many years since we won the Super Bowl, it falls back on coaching.

That one to Snead in the flat he spiked in the ground had me going crazy

And the Colts beat the Texans, which I didn't expect either.

I feel so deflated... like my heart pounded for the past 2 hours, my stomach is in knots, I feel like I just ran a marathon and I’m about to involuntarily fall asleep

Kenneth Dixon should be getting 85% of the carries. He is overwhelmingly the best RB on the team and I’ve said this for the past 3 years
Yeah he's always been the most talented hopefully he can stay healthy and unsuspended. He and Lamar with a legit OL could be nasty

We need to hope LAC gets banged up in this game against KC. They have a nice long period of rest and play at home so that sucks for us and we still need to beat TB and I don’t think that’s a gimme.
