What’s another QB going to do in this offense? Our running game is as great as it is because of the fear Lamar puts on the defense for him existing.

So today was a crucial game. I can hear the disagreement, "It's not the end of the World..." etc, etc, but this is a game that Bill Belichek, a HOF Coach, would have had his Tom Brady led Patriots ready for, regardless of the players TB had around him. Let me explain...

You have the Titans playing the Bengals. The Titans need the win, but the Bengals definitely have to give it their all. With a Bengals loss and a W for us, we go up, basically two on them, plus we basically win the conference battle over them for the Division if we win. BB was always aware of these games. I honestly don't think JH is. BB was the master of these seemingly unimportant games - "Awe, we can drop one, we're still leading the Division even if the Bengals win..." That mindset, and I think it is real, has cost us in the past, and it cost us today.

With the loss, the Bengals are now tied with us on record. Had they lost and we won, we'd be in a commanding position going into Division play. We still have 4 Division games and another Conference game. The only game we could have really said, "Well this one isn't too important..." on is the Falcons. But now every game counts on overall record. And the Falcons are a team we don't match up well against with how they run using WR's and the passing they do. It's not a gimme.

I think this game comes back to haunt us. I saw the same errors as I do each and every week. Bad routes, errant passes, drops, rushing to get plays off. Short of getting all new "bit" players on both sides of the ball - which is impossible, that's a team rebuild - you question the coaching.

I continue to question the coaching of this club, starting with JH and going down from there. These are the same errors we've seen going back to 2013.
 
Also getting really frustrated by the consistent 22 personnel. Understand it’s part of the run game but at some point, you gotta let the receivers try to win out there. Big plays just aren’t going to happen with Ricard, Oliver, and Drake as primary passing options on a consistent basis.

To me looked like it was on chuck, Marcus had the flats and under and chuck should have gotten over quicker. Good play by Jacksonville, but chuck should have at least been in position to knock him out around the 5.

It was Geno Stone, iirc.

95% sure it was Chuck. Looked to me like Peters was playing flats and safety was supposed to be over top and was too far inside. Could be very wrong because Marcus seems to freelance at times.

See, this is good for all of the cats that love to say, "a win is a win". That b.s. is foolishness! It's "how" you win that tells the truth. Last week, the Ravens got the "W" (I am grateful for that of course) but they struggled with the 3-6 Panthers, at home and after nearly 2 weeks of rest. So, based on that performance, I knew that this game would be no different against the Jaguars! I knew it! We need to face the music. The Raven's offense is mediocre. Mediocre! Nothing spectacular! Nothing dynamic or explosive! A few plays here or there or in this or that game but nothing consistent. Then the Raven's defense can't seem to close out poorer team than them. Painful combination.

I could be wrong. To be honest, all I really remember was a 6 on the safety jersey.
 
This has been one shitty week. Today was not have bad and now this team had to fucking ruin that! Thanks Ravens! BTW, Lamar has me flip flopping on paying him after this shit today.

Lamar can't connect the Deep ball for nothing.
Hate this team get so emotionally invested that they ruin your day.

It’s out of control how inaccurate he is with the deep ball. He never had much touch but I swear he has regressed and was never this bad.
