The Good, The Weather and The Injuries

Harbaugh blaming the rain and weather for the bad snaps. So the Patriots Center didn't snap the ball in the rain? Come on Harbs. He is a great coach who would be hired within a minute if we ever fired him but he becomes so hard headed about things. Bad OC? Let's hang on to them until ownership forces me to fire them. Then becomes way too loyal to players and usually it isn't until a injury occurs that Harbaugh is forced to put the better player in.

not that i agree with Harbs but tbf the Pats center was mostly snapping from under center and they still had some bad exchanges and problems

Lamar did well tonight. His INT was ugly and he almost had another, but that was more of a situation where he had to do what he had to do. He was not the problem tonight.

And there were also 3-4 drops which is dropping that completion percentage.

the first INT was so frustrating and cost us a chance for 3 (or more) points - the INT worthy throw later in the game I have no problems with purely because of the situation - he had no choice but to force that ball into a window that wasnt really there with 9 defenders in coverage to try and keep that drive going

I hope Boyle can make a full recovery

Other than the interception and the pass that McCourty broke up Lamar looked really good tonight. Im starting to get concerned with Skura, this is two games in a row where he has had bad snaps and he killed two drives of ours that could have won us the game. Not going to lie I am definitely concerned about what the titans are going to do to our run defense based off this game. I like that Snead seems to be much more involved in the offense in the last couple of weeks but I'm really not impressed with Roman's inability to scheme Hollywood open.
Also fuck the football gods and these injuries this is getting ridiculous

Me thinks last year was the fluke and not this year

Also screw Hollywood for complaining about getting the ball when he can’t get separation on a 33 year old whatever McCourty twin and JC Jackson. He needs to look in the mirror too.

yeah idk what's going on with him - early in the year he was consistently getting open but not getting hit - now he's not really even getting open

i mean it's tough - you've got wind and hardcore rain which slows everything down so it's much harder to beat anyone deep (also harder for edge rushers too for a similar reason)

it also doesnt help that he seemingly just gets sent on go routes for like a third of his routes

I think the lack of fight he showed on the INT pisses me off too. Not a lot of heart from him tonight. I do think we need to do a better job of getting him involved, but the blame can be placed on him too. He’s afraid of contact so it’s hard to get him across the middle, but he’s also not holding his end of the bargain in recent weeks on the outside.

Jc is actually one of the best slot guys in nfl.. he is also fast af.. mccourty is also one of the best cvg safties in nfl. Bad choice by lamar on that int

There was nothing he could do on that int literally. He isnt scared of contact, he just doesnt take unnecessary contact. Ty hilton does same thing. So does antinio brown.

I respect JC Jackson a lot but he should not be running step for step with Hollywood on a go route.

God it must be nice to be a young QB like Mahomes and Kyler and have guys around you do a lot of the work. I wish I could turn back time and convince EDC to do whatever it took to snag Nuk

Duv is showing some of that kind of play style where if you just get the ball in his hands he'll make you look even better because of his YAC

I mean to be fair.. lamar cant make the plays with his arm like kyler and pat can.yea dhop would help but he would under perform here.

I think Lamar has a good arm. I just think he’s hesitant nowadays because of the lack of separation from our “weapons”. Flacco had a cannon but could just throw it up to Boldin, Steve and Torrey. I wish Lamar had Flacco’s Super Bowl supporting cast

It feels like the years we had with Joe where all the other teams were getting big name receivers for their quarterbacks, even though it was quite impressive watching Joe do more with less compared to a Matt Ryan. Then we got Boldin, and that helped us win a Super Bowl. It seems the very same thing here, Allen gets Diggs, Murray gets Hopkins, Dallas drafts Lamb, etc. Now the question becomes, who will be Lamar's Anquan Boldin?

Fuck this team. No fucking balls what so ever, no cojones. They play with their bitchass tails between their legs, if the lights are on and the world is watching they piss their pants like little fucking scared puppies.

I’ll be watching draft prospects and posting here and there but I’m gonna try to stay away from ravens talk and honestly I’m not watching the game next week and I’m gonna see how my Sunday goes

sad to say, I’m over this season. Time to get hype for the draft.

Good Luck to Boyle with a quick recovery. That was an ugly outcome. We seem to always play down the Pats in New England even when they have a team we should beat. It does seem the better coached teams are beginning to have our number.

Well, a bit of sleep didn't help. 2 things:
- Ingram is all talk and no action at this point.
- The main tasks of a C are: snapping the ball accurately and blocking. It's ok to have him play like this for one game because there aren't enough OLs active, but what were they thinking yesterday? TCC or Bredeson could have been our C. And it's not like Skura is playing at a very high level so he kinda makes up for his snapping problems.

EDIT: I'm wondering where our souljas are. I didn't see them yesterday.
