Them going up by 2 TDS early really flipped the script and we just couldn’t flip it back. I hate to say it but many talking heads said we haven’t had to play from behind at all at that surely helped to cause the overall continuous collapse. They just weren’t playing loose, looked tight and afraid to lose.I just did not think in my wildest dreams we would play that bad at home in the playoffs. I really thought this team could stop the run and the Titans would be the team abandoning the run, Boy was I fooled.
I really hope Lamar doesn’t become the regular season champ and playoff choke artist .
Call me blind, but I can’t put this loss on Jackson. Sure, he had some bad throws here and there but he was mostly solid and played spectacular at times. His receivers dropped balls, his OL let him down at times (interior at LG & C from initial impression & guess), and the defense just couldn’t get off the field.on another day, the WRS make plays.
500 yards between running and passing?
this was basically a everything that could go wrong did go wrong game. This is not like the chargers game.

It all boils down to what we knew were our problems this year: no pass rushing edge defender, lack of receiving weapons outside Brown, and weakness at the interior OL spot. I’ve been banging the table for a WR, Edge, IOL and I’ll continue to bang for these guys. I’m good with a RB as well but I think it’ll be hard. I’d even go ILB. Just take the best player regardless of position
If you find the answer, could you please let me know.Man I feel depressed as fuck. It’s clear I take football way too seriously, I feel empty. Losing a football game shouldn’t make a person feel like they have nothing... anyone have any advice on maybe rooting for your team like a normal person?
I feel the same, just really empty and kinda sad about knowing that this won't be our year even though this may have been our best shot at being a generation-defining team (which makes it all even worse).Man I feel depressed as fuck.

It’s more than just a fanatical thing for me, like my mental health is genuinely pretty poor and this loss is beginning to feel unhealthy lol.I feel the same, just really empty and kinda sad about knowing that this won't be our year even though this may have been our best shot at being a generation-defining team (which makes it all even worse).
But with that said though, I stopped feeling anything at all during Joe's last years. Close win, big win, tough loss, none of it moved the dial for me. Now that Lamar's our guy I actually feel things again, and I remember talking about this with @Simba back when he was drafted (Lamar, not Simba lol). The losses feeling like a massive dick punch comes with the territory of being excited about close wins and blissful about the blowouts, and I haven't felt that way about the Ravens for years.
All things considered I prefer the emotional roller coaster to the emotional vacuum I've had for a while. It makes me feel more alive - and my Premier League team is Newcastle who are back to being mid-tier every year.

At the end of the day it’s just a game. Life goes on you have a family that cares for you and depends on you. That’s the real deal.Man I feel depressed as fuck.

Good. Be mad Marlon. Don't be delusional

Yeah, that’s what I meant. We need a more complete edge defender who is consistent and shows up in big games.We were the 6th best team against the pass and 3rd best for points allowed so I cant hang this loss on edge rushers, and considering Tennehill had 14 attempts another pass rusher wouldnt have done anything, put Ngakoue in our lineup and Henry probably rushes for 250. Now if youre saying we needed to set the edge then I agree with you and we need to move on from Judon, Ferg and Ward because they all got blown up last night.
Agree 100% about IOL and WR
So do also agree on letting Judon walk?Yeah, that’s what I meant. We need a more complete edge defender who is consistent and shows up in big games.

If your mental health is genuinely poor I'd recommend seeing someone (mental health issues tend to involve chemicals produced by the brain so getting a pro involved is like going to a doctor over blood pressure stuff).It’s more than just a fanatical thing for me, like my mental health is genuinely pretty poor and this loss is beginning to feel unhealthy lol.
