i mean yes maybe out-coached but more just out-executed and self-destructed

you cant have players implode and win

the passing game has a serious issue but not sure where to pinpoint us getting outcoached necessarily - a couple of guys on the bills just made 1 or 2 great plays and a couple of ravens made 1 or 2 crucial mistakes

that's not coaching
Yea but rossi, the game was tied 3-3 at halftime and Roman kept going to what wasn’t working. He literally made zero adjustments and that’s unacceptable. No screens at all to neutralize the pass rush. Dives, sweeps, etc that simply weren’t working, etc. I mean, unless Lamar can call his own plays, the offense was set up for failure from the get go

He was definitely scared of calling passing plays throughout most of the first half even when the Bills were selling out on the run. Roman has failed to call good games in the playoffs and I'm tired of his shit. Sure, the execution has also been very bad, but it shouldn't take an entire half for him to make adjustments in must-win games. Also, he can't scheme open guys to save his fucking life. Can we please lure Kubiak out of retirement?
Thank you! I don’t care if Kubiak did us dirty before. I’d LOVE him here

Kubiak only left us for his literal dream job so I don't even have any ill-will towards him. I would definitely love it if he came back here. That 2014 season probably would have ended in a SB if our secondary didn't die lol

Roman’s offensive scheme has run its course .
See ya Greg but you ain’t getting a head coaching job and will be hard pressed to get another OC job unless it’s with a scrub team.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one, despite how critical I’ve been on Lamar lately. People don’t realize how often he puts the team on his back when our “weapons” can’t get open. Can he improve on his passing? Oh, without a doubt. But look at who’s around him. Boykin is trash. Dez is never open. Mark and Hollywood can have the dropsies, etc. I’m not ready to extend him yet, though

Guys are wide open at times but he can’t read the defense properly. At times it’s absolutely on his line for not giving him time but I just don’t think he has the intelligence to stare down a defense and understand where the play should go. Amazing improviser that has won us some big games on those plays... but you can only get so far playing that way.

If this team loses in the playoffs in a hard fought game I think more people will be accepting. But this team implodes and has done it for the past 3 yrs.
I might be in the minority but I want Harbs to go. Something drastic needs to change and it starts at the top.
I get where you're coming from, but I don't know if you can fire a head coach after an 11 win season and a posteason win. I mean I'm still laughing at Detroit for firing a guy who took the Lions to 9-7 two years in a row.
The defense was just fine the special teams was atrocious but that was highly atypical. The offense has to change though. Problem is, as you said, they've collapse 3 years in a row. There were two different OCs during that time. So getting rid of Roman might not be enough.

that's not entirely true - our first drive after half-time was a 9 minute drive that got us all the way into the redzone but lamar through the pick 6

they adjusted super well and got basically a perfect ravens drive out of it until lamar made that throw...

2 plays later lamar's out of the game and idk that you can put that on Roman making "zero adjustments"

the offence moved the ball this game - we had 5 drives get inside the bills 30 and came away with 3 points - how can that be anything other than execution???

The first offensive set we were running it down their throats and Roman gets cute and calls a pass play . Didn’t Lamar get sacked ? Don’t recall. All I know is it was a moronic play call .

Side note from bashing the offense ... Has Humphrey looked off to anyone else. I’m disappointed he wasn’t locked on Diggs all night. Obviously scheme , but it seems late in the season he faded.
