Agreed. I felt the same way watching it like you.
he and bozeman both blocked away from each other - i dont remember if powers was blocking no one but he certainly didnt block the guy in the a-gap lol - i remember bozeman definitely was blocking someone (might have been on a double team though)

Agree-Ravens need to hold onto Tee Martin. Anorher team may hire him for OC next year.

Good thing there is no more sure wins on the schedule.

I was personally aboard the notion of potentially moving on from Roman last season. But this is arguably the first game we've seen this season with an overlap to our 2020 issues from a schematic standpoint. We've been vastly different this season overall, and for the better. Pulling the plug now would, strangely, feel premature.

Another thing I noticed but when Boykin was on the field we ran it every time or at least it seemed and with him lining up in the slot a lot we shoulda ran some quick seam plays to break the Cover 0 just to make them respect it. It's like we're a greenhorn card player showing our hand.
And just to pile on wtf was with the 3 straight screens to Hollywood. Instead of going outside the numbers we shoulda had some quick slants and crossing patterns working the middle of the field.

i was willing to give roman a do-over for 2020 with all the OL issues and stilted offseason
he's shown us he's a good coordinator and done a lot of stuff to develop and advance this offence (obviously it still starts with lamar) - one game where as much blame should be put on the players as the coaches should not change how we felt about roman before that (and if you've been paying attention this season you should have no issues with Roman beyond maybe sticking to the run game a little too much and too long when it's not been giving us value)

I’m almost over it but god damn, how disappointing
the one major silver lining here is that this has happened now...
it's a shame we didnt find a solution during the bye but we've got time left in the season to fix it and you know lamar's gonna work hard on it... especially after it ruined his home-coming in miami on primetime

So the morning after or something like that…
1. Sammy Watkins pissed me off with the fumble six not because of the fumble but his demeanor after. I mean I see you fumble the football dude and then you’re there smiling. I’m not one just to get upset about appearances but you have to be kidding me.
2. The OL was beyond terrible. This was one of the worst offensive line performances I’ve ever seen. I often saw the entire DL in the backfield. I even had to mention it to my family that how can Lamar throw when the entire defense is sometimes literally in his face as the ball snapped? Never saw so many penetrating defenders before. It was insane.
3. Lamar clearly let this get to him and played bad just when he had a chance to recover. I get it, you’re pissed—you have every right but man you need to shake it off. Those throws to Hollywood sometime after the fumble six were just bad and clearly had aggression behind them.
4. This defense is very bad. I’m not sure how you fix it. You have problems on DL and in secondary. Not sure what happened but many guys are not doing well that are paid to do well in Humphrey and Clark. It’s like everyone is having a down year simultaneously.
I’m not trying to be negative but it will take some real wizardry to pull this around. I don’t envy Harbaugh atm. He has a tough gig because some of these guys seem checked out. I can’t even completely blame Roman either because I feel a lot of this is very bad player execution. I’m surprisingly less worried about the offense than I am the defense. If defense wins championships then we won’t

I like to add Marlon going on Twitter after the game to compliment the WR of the team that just spank you is a beta move.

This it true, but we have to know that he can implement a gameplan that can counter this, he HAS to because now the film is out there, and he absolutely should be able to beat this.
the fact that he made like 2 attempts at the correct counter to this defense, and they both “worked”(although one ended with Sammy’s fumble six which isn’t on the playcall obviously) is really questionable. It’s also strange how the only checks we saw from the line were unblocked screens to the flat which is EXACTLY what we saw last week, and that was very clearly the wrong idea entirely.
so yeah, I’m on the fire Roman train until he shows that he can counter these highly vulnerable styles of defense. I mean for fucks sake, we run a very similar cover 1/0 defense, and we’ve gotten gashed all year, take fucking notes dude.
i mean tbf waddle didnt really do much against humphrey apart from the DPI which marlon shouldnt have given up because he didnt need to
tbf we run that defence but it's really rare that defences have ever played that way against us - lamar's not faced it much and when he has he's not been that great against it

2-2 seems pretty decent for road games. I've been to Ravens road games in San Diego, San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas and Denver and have seen exactly one win among them. Not many worse things in life than the walk of shame out of another's stadium.
Happily, the only home loss I've seen was in pre-season.

The way the Dolphins were playing some of the quick slants could have turned into 70 -80 yard td's .
