The 1st half, The Refs and The Collapse

No 3 score lead is safe from this team...

As soon as the DPI didn't get called midway through the 2nd quarter on that 3rd and 5 play to Demarcus Robinson, it felt the ominous way it felt in the Miami game. This team has a real issue right now with being unable to adjust and stop capitulating. Molehills become mountains. That defensive meeting on the Monday after the Dolphins clearly hasn't set in.

Offence had only 1 drive in the 2nd half get a 1st down and scored 0 points in the entire half. A litany of errors.

Refs were awful. And worse than bad, they were consistently erring in one direction. Ravens getting ticky-tacky calls and also just plain bad calls, Bills being shown lenience.

This team should be 4-0. They've bottled 2 3 score leads in the first 4 weeks.

The positive is they're dominating enough to get big leads over good teams. The negative is obvious.

Something has to give.

I refuse to blame the refs with the amount of dumb plays that happened. Going for it was dumb. Not seeing the open receiver was dumb. Not knowing to drag the RB into the endzone was dumb. If you make that many dumb plays against equally talented teams you deserve to lose and the Ravens lost because of it. That is ignoring all the penalties that are simply not in dispute (ie the presnap ones and illegal downfield). Even the RTP while ticky tack was still stupid to even risk it, like you saw him throwing it and then saw the ball was not in hand.
 
Somethings gotta change with our coaching staff, horrible play calls and wreckless decision making.

If your looking anywhere but the offense for blame your wrong. Getting shut out in the second half is unacceptable.

The play calling was good imo.. just couldnt execute

The playcalling was good for dry weather but with that rain they were making some weird decisions to not lean on the runs. Every outside run they had was generally great so why did they keep trying to force those 1-2 yard inside runs as an example?
 
How many games are we going to be out coached? Where were the adjustments on offense and defense?

We can't keep expecting to win with zero pass rush. Or slow ass guys that can't tackle for crap.

5 freaking home losses!!! 5!! Good luck trying to fill home seats with that record.

Our defense is going to waste Lamar's INCREDIBLE season. This team is pathetic.... bring on Sean Payton in 2023.

What is this belief that drives the idea that Sean Payton is a good coach? He had an all-time great QB and managed one SB win and some middling playoff success otherwise. He is basically a thinner Mike McCarthy.

Not even mad at Roman. The offense slowly started falling apart around Lamar and then Lamar let his emotions get the better of him and it affected his play. His body langue was terrible in the second half
