We should’ve just put Gus as the starter and ran it way more. But we also should’ve not turned the ball over and converted on 4th and 1.

Defense needs a major facelift. Can’t give up >200 yards rushing to nobody, don’t care who they are. Give me Chris Jones and all the free agency pass rushers

I sure hope so. When I'm hungry, I am downright sluggish.
Meh, remember in 2013 when Manning put up 6 or 7 tds against the Ravens? Did it make up for the Mile High Miracle?
You can't get revenge for the post season in the regular season...unless maybe you keep a team out of the playoffs, but maybe not even then.
You know what is weird: every Titans Ravens postseason game has been won by the road dogs.
except that the titans were loading up and playing the run well and leaving us with opportunities in the passing game - we just didnt take them for various reasons
and lamar has been great in empty - lethal in fact

Yep, Ingram and Andrews did not need to play this game.

So, serious question, was it the o-line not holding up or the receivers not getting open out of the empty backfield?
this is the same simmons who put in the late dirty hit on lamar
that is disgusting
EDIT: and as ive just been reminded also hit a woman

The two Marks being shells of themselves spelled death. Maybe we could have dealt with one, but not both
its a combo - but until we get the coaches film its hard to say - we did also have a lot of drops in this game too my guess is that some of them came out of empty

He wasn’t great in empty today, he also wasn’t great in empty in our 2 losses, which was my point.
those 2 losses though, the run game worked
and we still got away from it, the run game didn’t work today, but we also we didn’t make an effort enough to even see if it would have worked.
Empty backfield wasn’t working tonight, put stress on the defense, take pressure off of Lamar, he was missing throws left and right, slow the game down for him.

Simmons is the guy who beat a woman. He would’ve gone top 10 if not for that and tearing his ACL

How about both? But I think the receivers were way worse, way more often. The online, to me felt more like it just had some bad moments, not necessarily an abysmal game.
It just drives me nuts that they both missed the Pitt game and Baltimore did fine without them. I know Tenn is a higher quality team, but this game wasn't even sort of close, you know.
Hurst and Roberts, penalties, playcalling. Everything went wrong.
I’ll just say, after everyone basically crowned the Ravens and gave the Titans zero chance of winning, it feels damn good.

Lamar Jackson’s season masked the complete dearth of talent around him. If both Marks are hurt and we are playing from behind, we got two TEs who don’t catch much, Hollywood, and LJ. That equals hero ball, which is not a fundamentally sound way to win a football game.
the thing is the OL was basically another weapon in the regular season - they and the TEs got beat up in the running game

Because no one else is talking about it and it's frickin hilarious.
Everyone is just like oh well! MVP QB, let's go to the Pro Bowl! type attitudes.
Excuse me for being extra salty at one of the CLEAR CUT BONAFIDE x factors as to why we lost this game in John Harbaugh. As someone who does not have expertise on offense or defense, the least he could do is call a damn timeout or kick a FG in a situation that desperately warrants it.
2 plays after the 2nd 4th down try of the day? 66yd Henry run and TD pass.
A clear momentum shift on a drive we desperately needed something after an icecold first half.

The fact that we were counting on... Seth Roberts and Miles Boykin? To save our season? Don’t get me wrong, I think Boykin could become really good, but that’s just embarrassing

Anyone have a good strategy for facing the rest of pigskin planet tomorrow? I don't know what to do or say. I just can't even

People say that the Ravens are not built to come from behind as an indictment against Lamar, but it’s not Lamar. The guy put up over 500 yards. We just didn’t get TDs and we turned the ball over. We need to give him weapons in the passing games. Having a deadly rushing attack like we did in the regular season does not mean we can’t also have a passing “come from behind” counter punch
