The amount of blown leads is becoming a problem. The fact that once again the Ravens have lead in every single game in the 4th quarter this year but have 3 losses is eerily similar to last year. Saw the same number this morning where Lamar leads the NFL in 4th quarter turnovers over the past 2 years (think there was a carveout for close games but I was getting ready for work so I cant confirm) and the only one close to him was Heinicke so not exactly great company.

I do not know what it is but for a team with a top 5 QB I have never seen a less clutch team.

this is true,but we have also won 71 games under Lamar.

I don’t think clutch is the correct word but I agree something is off. They honestly remind me of a less explosive version of the Colts when manning and Co. would constantly choke in the big games. We all know they are the better team, but inexplicably lose games they shouldn’t like it’s built into their DNA.

So we have a few more years to go before Lamar and Co figure it out.

This is what a few of us have been saying lol, this shit happens to good teams basically every week, even super bowl winners lay numerous eggs throughout the season. Sometimes key players have an off day, or even just a few key snaps where they’re slightly off.

So much shit in this game could’ve been the final nail but they all slipped through our grasp. The oweh fumble, the hill td called back, Lamar refusing to run the ball late in the game, so many plays we just didn’t do it perfect and it bit us, we make those plays more often than not.

Well that and the fact that the cat is officially out of the bag... Buffalo isn't a good team. My preseason "fade BUF" bets are looking splendid.
They do literally nothing well as a football team. Pretty much just average across the board in all facets.

How much of this is on the oc though?

I think schematically, their offense sucks. So I think Dorsey gets decent blame for that.

However, their Oline is average, they're fairly "average" as a pass catcher group, they can't run the ball at all, and Allen has reverted back to missing a lot of throws and being too aggressive with the ball.

And their defense has a lot of injuries.

But they're never firing McDermott mid-season, and obviously you can't replace the QB. So firing a coordinator makes sense from the "have to show the public accountability" aspect.

They got Latavious Murray, crazy to me. He was our FA off the street in 2021, he was old and slow then

It pisses me off that people want to seem to cool or like they're level headed or something about this. The data are plain as day. This team has found a way to lose in a historic fashion(s) across multiple seasons.

It's actually just crazy to witness and something is wrong. I'm not smart enough to tell you what but when such crazy anomalies are occurring, that's the edge case not the norm.

if we fire Harbaugh and immediately have losing seasons, then every fire Harbaugh person on this board will go to the Pit of Misery for 5 years.

I honestly don't know. Harbs has these guys competing no matter who's out there. But they just utterly lack a killer instinct.

For a couple of years putting teams away on offense has been awful. And for a couple of years it seems defensively if we get figured out, there's just nothing we can do.

Like what happened to the Ravens teams that were down 10 at the half but then came out with amazing second half defensive shutout? This new age defense is either dominant or a turnstile.

I want to say that the last few years BEFORE Lamar took over we looked......soft.

I could be wrong
