Absolutely on both counts. Humphrey was out of position due to Young but it’s happened other times too. Also that’s exactly how I saw it with Lamar pressing. He felt like he had to do it all because other guys weren’t getting it done. We’ll be fine, just wish we could’ve made it because I feel we could’ve taken it this year.
I get what you are saying, but I guess the one good take away is that the fire is there. I liked Flacco, but at times I wished I saw in him more passion, although Joe did have a knack of turning it on in January after average regular seasons.
I think it’s great for him [Lamar]. He seemed to significantly improve after losing to the Chargers. Can’t imagine how much he improves after this one.
That sounds good.
Th way he tackled byrd had nothing to do with him being angry or frustrated. I think he expected a stiff arm or truck which was the only
I was never one to bitch about the spiral, but he threw a shit ton of ducks last night, and it wasn’t just the spiral but also the placement and velocity were wayyyy off.
that wasn't a horsecaller, we got screwed on that penalty and you are being too hard on him. There were 7 drops yesterday and a couple (hurst and roberts) could have been touchdowns. He was pressing when he fumbled the ball, without question.
i don't pay attention to Pollard and agree with Reed, he's got problems and it shows. Never liked Pollard as a player either.
Lamar didn't play his best game but there were plenty of drops that should have been caught by the receivers. If you get two hands on the ball you need to catch that and there were seven of them in this game and five came in the first half. You catch five of those including the Andrews pass which he normally comes down with and you have a different ball game. Not only would Lamar not be pressing late in the 3rd quarter when the fumble happened but you may not even have the interception later in the game as well.
I can’t pin it all on Lamar, he was off, but he delivered what could have and likely should have been a huge TD pass to Roberts and he let it bounce right off his hands, the picked pass to andrews could’ve been better but andrews still should’ve come down with it as he often has, on 3rd and short or 4th and short the interior line was getting completely washed, Lamar was often evading interior pressure too(which played a big part in his mechanical regression), and then the coaches entirely forgot that gus Edwards existed and used the same exact gameplan that we used vs the chiefs. If one of our 4th down attempts is converted this could be an entirely different game, if we tried for one more FG early on instead of going for it this could be a different game, but we didn’t convert a single attempt and it fucked us every time.
Just some losers who haven’t been relevant in a while and need some airtime. Last week was their AFCCG and last night was their Super Bowl. They’ll get smacked around by the Texans or Chiefs. I’m just so glad we play them next season.
