The Beatdown, The Tackling and Yet Another Injury

[Simba]

i just dont think he's got much choice - he's the only offence we have - it's either him with his legs, or him sitting in the pocket waiting for stuff to come open downfield

he's taking a lot of hits in the pocket but idk that we can do much about that without doing more max protect stuff and play-action more regularly which doesnt help us on 3rd and long where he's taking most of his hits and sacks

It's more on the running for me. Needs to know when to go down instead of fighting when there's nothing else there. Just see him diving head first sometimes where there are 3 guys there and they're taking their opportunities.

I hope the Ravens are as angry as I am after this performance. It was a despicable performance

Lol, they don’t give 2 fucks, they get paid millions

I am not at all worried about this loss at all. It happens. I think The Ravens beat themselves more than anything but it may be time for them to trade for a running back though. Getting Nick Boyle should help in regards to the running blocking. Getting Derek Wolfe back should help with The Ravens pass rush. I think this team can compete with any team but they just need to get healthy first. The Bye week came right on time.

I don't know what running back would be available but Bell or Freeman gotta go. Keep Murray unless hes injured for the year like everyone else.

Our Ravens have reached the tipping point on injuries. I really dont think we can sustain any more and compete. Yeah we will beat weak teams but not teams like the Bills or Titans.... if we end up making the playoffs.

Mack or Sanders

Also Lamar has to chill sometimes. He's taking way too many hits.

We’re screwed this year, too many injuries

 

[Simba]

Mack or Sanders

I don't see any reason to trade for anybody at RB. Running game can do whatever but they aren't going to help this sorry ass defense right now.

Do you see our running backs?

I think Freeman is doing pretty good for what he is asked to do. If any running back is in trouble it would be Tyson Williams. It's hard to really judge Leveon Bell but he has been pretty solid as a pass blocker though. Bell probably just needs to get into a grove but it's also not like The Bengals defense hasn't been good at defending the run this year either

We don’t have a run game anymore literally. Any word or speculation on mekari? We are not contenders. We can beat some playoff teams but we are looking at a wild card entrance again. Cb, line, rb are all major issues. Seeing the chiefs get slaughtered again takes pride out of that win we had.

 

[Simba]

Do you see our running backs?

I do but neither of those guys are going to get us to the SB. I think they’re all garbage but I don’t think either of those guys transform us into some running juggernaut either.

We are not going anywhere . Even Mahomes with two tackles out ended up getting smoked by the Bucs pass rush . We are in a way worse position injury wise than that Chiefs team.

Averett was a monster today

He single handedly shut down a couple of their drives. This game alone will get him paid in the offseason.

We need to keep him for sure.. that other guy been getting torched

 

[Dom McRaven]

commonalities in both games we've lost - lamar had zero time and spent his whole day under pressure

But unlike the Raiders game, our running game outside of Lamar was total dog shit. Like I said before, just wait until Dobbins and Gus come back next year somewhat back to normal self. It is ON.

 

[ravenslord]

The big positive of today is Lamar didn’t get hurt.

 

[gtalk12]

Tackling was terrible.

 

[QuothTheRaven]

Bad loss but fuck me you lot get down easy! We're 5-2 and until this humbling we had the best record in the AFC. Let the loss sting, let them work through the bye, and like the last 2-3 seasons let's get some momentum going in the second half of the year. There's no such thing as a perfect season but suddenly everyone on the injury-ridden but AFC-leading Ravens is trash on this board. People said we were the class of the AFC last week - even it out, would you?

 

[ravenslord]

I hope Mekari isn’t badly injured because he’s the best lineman we have. Villanueva is such a disappointment. So are our RG and LG ‘s .

I never thought our offensive line would be this bad.

no one's gonna have perspective this immediately after a loss lol

albeit when it's this emphatic at least you have time to process before the game's over and get a head-start

i just hate when the ravens lose early like this because it makes it hard to watch the rest of the NFL going on in the late window lol

5-2 is great - just hard not to draw major season-ending conclusions from the consistent achilles heel presented by the lack of pass protection and the inability to tackle
