Yea same. And get ready for more this off season, I think we need to sign Mads, losing some of the others will have to happen but he’s a guy you can build around. Then we’re gonna need to get more playmakers and better O lineman for the offense. Just need to run it back, it’s all we can do, probably won’t be a 1 seed again but maybe that’s better for us

Agreed wholeheartedly with not being the 1 seed. We’ve traditionally been worlds better as the underdogs. I hate it when the spotlight is on us

Worst week in franchise history?

lol its pretty much impossible for it to be the worst week in franchise history when you just played in a Conference Championship game three days prior.

I can think of a few dozen worse weeks. Namely, any week after our last game that didn't include a SB victory. Those seasons would be worse.

Are you talking about the personal foul on the encroachment? I thought my reply was reasonable, it was the right move and definitely not the reason we lost. We had a 3rd and 9 because of that move

I have yet to get a reasonable reply to the three reasons the Ravens lost sunday. Is anyone willing to listen.?? I Love The Ravens but can't get a reasonable reply from you Raven's fans which I adore. Anyone want to listen again?

No sir. It was 2nd and 5 (BECAUSE OF THE 12 MEN ON THE FIELD STUPID PENALTY)...at that point the CLOCK WAS STOPPED)...need help in his one.

Because we wanted to make it a 1st and 10 so that it's harder to get a 1st down on the next 3 plays. We expected to get 5 yards, just like the Bills did against the Eagles, but it was assessed as 15 yards.

Wow...trying to digest that response. Trying really hard...thx though.

Getting a first down from a 1st and 5 is easier than getting one from a 1st and 10 so you get the offsides penalty to give up the first down to save clock. If you try to stop them from converting 1st and 5 there’s a high chance they convert and you lose significant time off the clock. It’s negligible but let’s assume they convert 1st and 5 at 2:00 for example. If they convert with a run inbounds then they consume about 40 seconds of clock. If you give up the 1st through penalty you save potentially those seconds
