The Hamilton, The Injuries and The Self-Inflicted Wounds

[rossihunter2]

I think the biggest thing for me is the Ravens have like 10 critical injuries (including ones that occured during the game), so this really isn't representative of a healthy Ravens team.

all the guys who WERE NOT available by the end of this game:

RB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Starting WR
Starting LT
Starting C

EDGE 1, 2, 4, 5
Starting CB
Starting Nickel
Starting FS

overcame it well mostly - but it's tough having to constantly overcome injuries rather than just playing your best guys

That's on Horton. Our S.t unit has been very inconsistent since he has taken over.

We definitely need a pass rusher. The only pressure we got today was from Hamilton and Roquan.

I want to know why Monken called a run play on 2nd down right after Duv's big return. We were like 2nd&6.

People arent available and our guys most likely arent missing enough time.

Fuck the horrific , terrible , ridiculous, suckass
Clock management by Harbaugh at the end of regulation. Why is not Zay taking that ball and running with it ??!?!?! . Didn’t somebody tell him ?
Harbaugh - F-

I have to give Zay some blame as well. If he doesn't fair catch, runs for a bit and falls down after the 2 minute warning, they would've had maybe 30 seconds left in the 4th to go for the game-tying FG or GW TD drive.

That was just freaking stupid!

I was really confused when the game clock was on the wrong side of the 2:00. That's actually a really underrated mistake.

It wasn't really Zay's mistake though. It's on the S/T coach to tell the players that.

Couldn’t agree more!

Healthy Raven's Team? Don't hold your breath. Third year running now. I'm beginning to think there's no such thing.

Do you think they all come back within the next two games - i don't think so.
Even before in the first two games we haven't been able to create enough pressure.
Maybe once Hump is back things will get easier...

Squandering great field position time after time was the death knell. We deserved to lose after that. Offense just couldn’t get any rhythm today.

 

[QtR Nevermore]

The way the Colts D Line dominated doesn't bode well for the Pittsburgh and Cleveland games. Their D Lines are probably better.

I’ve gotta get a ref jersey, they’re the real MVPs

 

[RavenRockaRolla]

Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn. This was the first big game of the new LJ era and for fucks sake what happened. He sure ran good. Real Good, but Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn.

 

[cobrajet]

well hopefully the Bengals and Steelers lose tonight and tomorrow

 

[SaltyDog]

Maybe people should wait until we have 2 consecutive games with our starting O line before making absurd judgements

Yeah when was the last time that happened? Lol. We just can’t seem to get a break with injuries. Having said that there are still many things that need to get cleaned up. Penalties and turnovers. Execution is not consistently there yet either.

No idea with how this team deals with injuries. My only point is we'd have to ir guys and just don't see it cause we know certain guys are returning soon. The problem is the next two games are divisional. Why the fuck cant we stay healthy

Ravens motto "4th man up". For real it's tiring how year in year out this team is decimated with injuries. No excuses though this team likes to lose to back up Qbs and at home.

 

[UPennChem]

Next week is absolutely a loss if we don't get healthy. If we do then we can definitely win.

 

[Simba]

I think the annoying thing too is that it’s not like the Colts were better, and it’s not like we were bad in the grand scheme of things. Just made too many mistakes and couldn’t capitalize when the moment was there

lmao... i needed this. First good laugh I've had since the loss

 

[gtalk12]

Defense played well considering all the injuries. I like what I am seeing from them

Offense was humming when we went to the quick stuff until Drake fumbled.

For whatever reason we stopped throwing. Lamar’s legs looked very good and so are his throws.

Big concern is that O-Line and RB group. For whatever reason we got very conservative towards the end of the game.

We could have ended the game a few times but didn’t. Likely drop, Flowers face mask, Flowers PI, and running so much up the gut with Melvin Gordon.
