Such a gutless performance in the 2nd half at home..............AGAIN. With the Browns and Steelers losing, we could've had the division lead. If not for the Dolphins choke, we would've slowly pulled away from the division.

All those drops and false starts sank us

Yeah, It actually started at the end of the first up half. Defense is not to blame, and neither is Harbaugh.

Going for it says he wasn't actually confident in the defense

I get it but I’m just going with Tucker instead of trying the best defense in the league

The defense held one of the best offenses in the NFL to 23 points. In this specific game the offense failed to put away the game due to stalled drives, turnovers, and turning a turnover into just a field goal.
Which is weird because I thought the defense looked okay. Obviously they were not dominant but they were playing the Bills and were containing them. I would have bet on the defense to at the very least keep them to 3 versus betting on the offense to convert in that weather.

Maybe, but recently it feels like they can't get a stop unless they get a turnover

Lamar not reading the wide open receiver in the corner of the end zone quick enough cost us a td . Instead he got picked.

Add in Queen once again missing an interception.
btw this is the 5th straight home loss...
not only are we giving up leads, we're giving up these huge comebacks at the bank

I don’t understand what happened with the offense. They looked so comfortable and in rhythm initially . Very curious what the film shows

Yeah to me the whole game is as simple as this.
The weather was awful and both offenses were plagued with dropped passes. The Ravens defense was bad the entire game. Anyone that looks at the fact that the Bills weren't moving it early and thinks that's because we were playing good defense was clearly not paying attention to the constant drive ending drops. As crazy as it is, Crowder got hurt and therefore in the second half they stopped dropping passes and scored 20 points.
The Ravens offense was not as effective as it should've been. That's mostly because of unforced penalties and mistakes made by Lamar. Missed Andrews, threw the interception when he shouldn't have.
If anyone thinks Harbs was wrong for going for it, you just would have lost 27 - 23. It was pretty obvious the defense was incapable of stopping them and a TD was your only hope.
This game is SQUARELY on Oweh, Queen, and Lamar. The refs didn't help.

Both our losses have come when I don't wear my Ravens socks for purple friday. Clearly this is all my fault

So unnecessary
Good: Dobbins 1st half, Hill 2ng half. Duvernay as every week. Madubuike's run defense. The 4 starting DBs
Bad: everything about the 4th down play. Queen with another giftwrappen int dropped, Stephens (even if it is a questionable call, do not fucking touch him there. Understand the situation). The pass rush. Batemans drop-a-mania. Lindenbaum w 3 penalties
General: looks like Father Time vs Bynes 1-0. Stout looked great initially, now i miss Koch

Here's my problem with this thinking. With at least 3 you force them to either play for the win or OT. If they go for the td we most likely have a chance to get the ball back at least.that and the offense was at the 1 in 1st down and moved back. Nothing there says we should have gone for it.
