Lamar, The Running Game and The Defensive Collapse

Harbs confirmed that the TD over Peters was a mistake by both the CB and S not staying over the top
also confirmed that there was a miscommunication and someone was supposed to have the deep half but didnt know (didnt say which guy but it can only have been kyle or marcus and everyone was looking at kyle so seems to make sense it was him)
So hopefully it should get better as the 3 rookies get more playing time and experience

I have to add more here...21 mf points in the 4th and harbs can't strategically run out the clock?! Mr greatest coach?? At what point does the HEAD MF COACH SAY OK TIME TO GET HANDS ON HERE AND COACH MY TEAM TO VICTORY?? It's never happened because he's not built for it. If u guys remember I literally stopped watching for like 3 years because of harbs then Lamar came and harbs seat got HOT!! I was happy...man under him we will never win another SB.
Wooooosah. Harbs is legit, its just one game

ummm PFF... where's Lamar?

he had 1 interceptable pass, the fumble at the goal-line and he got stuffed 1 time at the goal-line...

why is his grade so low?

Seriously how is Lamar not the highest graded player? Also , I am beyond excited knowing we have Bateman and Mark locked up . Bateman looks like the real deal and a complete WR.

Lamar was great. Duvernay did well. I liked what I saw from Likely but he's got work to do as expected since he is a rookie. Andrews is a beast. Our OL is pretty solid (not great but it is not bad). It is better in pass pro than in the run but the run isn't bad. The RBs are terrible. Drake and Davis are both bad. Didn't see much from Hill but I saw he had work today. I hope he surpasses Drake & Davis because they are next level bad.

Defense is what it is. Edge is a weakness, interior is solid but I think the defense was just gassed at the end. I put some of the blame on Hill & Waddle but it is also somewhat on our offense not staying on the field (i.e., run game failing to deliver yet predictable calls). I wasn't surprised the defense caved as it did. I for one believe that the defense wasn't that bad. Yes, it wasn't great but let's be real--it didn't get bad until the offense failed to keep up the momentum. That is when the wheels fell off the Defense. I feel the forced runs that weren't working causing TFLs is a huge contributing factor to this as well as those failures on 4th down. Didn't we have 2 or were they only 1?

Either way, not good. Some real issues to fix here. I'm a little surprised the run game still is eh but I guess it makes sense since Dobbins nor Edwards are back. It's funny because I remember some people saying at one time anyone could be back there and do well with Lamar. Guess not
I still think he could but we’ve literally given him the worst of the NFL for 2 seasons now

I think he does literally everything better than Hollywood. Looks just as fast too

Yea, I had no idea he had that kind of sprinter speed. Fingers crossed we cracked the code and the Ravens finally drafted a star at WR.

Would appear they also know when he's in the shotgun he's keeping the ball, because that's all we call.
Even the fumbled 4th down. Lamar has a % chance of converting. DLine got all the push. He wasn't going anywhere. They sold out to stop that play, and it worked.
People on Reddit are not hearing me correctly but 4th and 1 obvious QB sneak, I felt more confident Flacco is getting us that yard versus Lamar.

I'm keeping receipts on the Hamilton and Oweh slander. When November rolls around I'm bringing this back.

Don’t count me in on the Oweh slander. I’ve been supportive and/or quiet about him other than one simple post

Yep, Bengals looks like a shell of themselves and the Steelers are struggling at Oline and QB. Browns seem more dangerous than both.
I think they look like the same exact team, they were fortunate last year
Yes. Nothing needs changed. Let’s keep it as is. Maybe no one else will play as hard as the Dolphins did.
We better not be the team that gets the Burrow hype going again, but they also have WRs that we can’t cover. The defense should be out for blood that game, anything less is disgusting
