The problem is there was no downfield passing with Lamar either. It’s exacerbated by Huntley and Brown, but the real issue is the WR corps

agree it's really the WRs. We had a downfield passing game when Bateman was healthy.
might legit be bedlam if he does it

I couldn't watch the game live, so I've just finished it. A splurge of thoughts.
- The refs really wanted to give Pittsburgh that game but luckily Mitch really wanted to give it to back. The endzone Humphrey PI on Pickens was the worst call I've seen in a while.
- JK and Gus are back and they're so much better than what we've been working with for most of the last 2 seasons.
- Colon seemed pretty good as a run blocker.
- Even with the run game working and keeping things manageable, 3rd downs were pretty bad because Roman's play calls are horribly predictable. He'd be better sticking a pin in his 3rd & short play list and taking himself out of the mix altogether rather than giving the defense what they're expecting all the time.
- There's no limit to the amount of easy completions MacDonald is happy to give up at the end of games or halves. As long as you don't do it all in one play, the Ravens love giving up 10 - 25 yards per pass.
- I don't like the way we leave our corners on islands all game. The Safeties, Linebackers, even the D line always play pretty narrow and then we leave our corners one on one in acres of space far too often. I don't know why every opponent doesn't just throw to the sidelines all game.
- Humphrey gave up a lot of yards but he didn't actually play a bad game. A couple of good throws, a couple of good catches and a couple of bad calls soon adds up on the stat sheet, but he was right there competing for every pass.
- It's nice to beat the Steelers at last.

Even Bijan? I’d be ok with that, but completely understand the 1st round back frustration.

Damn it feels good to beat the Steelers. Something special about watching those towels get shoved back into their pockets as they sadly trudge back to the parking lot.

I fixed it, but THIS!
i mean im not gonna pre-empt what my board will say (although ill be up front and say im never a fan of a 1st round pick RB) - but feel like if we do take a RB especially if there's a CB/WR that the fanbase likes on the board, this forum and social media is going to spontaneously combust lol - meltdowns galore and it sounds like they might not even include @JoeyFlex5 which would be really revolutionary

I don't remember Minkah F. being dirty while at Bama. Must be shittsburgh influence. And it's not just the hit on Snoop, he is doing dirty shit all game, most notably after the tackle in a pile.
Probably why he sucks. Played much better when he played clean.

Let that exact same hit happen with their QB from one of our LBs or DBs and they're calling a personal foul on us immediately.

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running, and I'm so far from my home
Oh Mama, I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long

He looked relevant today, poised and made some beautiful throws.Mr. irrelevant. Here you go, just in case you seriously didn't know:

Other than causing the Huntley fumble pretty good I think.
