The Running Game, The Mess and The Greg Roman

Everybody’s overreacting including myself. We get a healthy Lamar back and our offense will be better. Nobody needs to be fired yet. We’ll be fine

Lol stop bro if there is any overreacting then this game justifies it. When you have Roman apologists wanting him gone then yeah it's that bad. Even with a healthy Lamar this O has trending downward. It's been time for change.

Sizzle go back to your old self atleast you were being true.

Did Ojabo really only get 1 snap? If so that's a total waste of being active. Like wtf. Also it's INCREDIBLE to me that a team that is struggling mightily for pass catchers won't even try to use Kolar.

1 snap on a 3rd and long and some special teams

would have assumed they'd have given him more than just 1 otherwise it's not really that worthwhile - but maybe it's about easing him into the speed of it

but on his 1st NFL snap in a division game after no preseason or training camp, he was never gonna have much of a chance with only that 1 snap - just went right up the middle of the right tackle and did nothing - which isnt unsurprising for a 1st snap lol - just a shame he didnt get another one

but hopefully this is the beginning of a longer ramp up - and at least he's on the field now, unlike Kolar...

There's the sadist in me that wants to see Lamar leave so that Ravens fans who doubt him can see how dynamic he makes this offense, but the Ravens fan in me wants Lamar for life.

lol you are so corny, and so are people who take on the apocalyptic mindset with Lamar. Lamar is not the first great Raven, and he won't be the last, regardless if they sign him for ten years or he gets traded this offseason. Whatever they(and Lamar) decide, the organization will continue to find ways to thrive, as it has since its inception.

Feels a lot like last year where we had corpses running the ball for us and somehow our only solution through the entire season was to call up Nate McCrary for one game and give him I think 2 carries, and then went right back to the corpses. Afraid to try to improve in some ways if it's at the expense of a veteran.

what's weird though is it's not even like last year where we're talking about hopes from the practice squad - but we're healthy scratching guys we actually like on the 53...

could have had drake to help out in that 4th quarter
could have had pepe to help out in that 4th quarter after MP went down - or at least to cover for further injuries... could have had Ar'Darius Washington up like the last 2 weeks
could have had kolar to see if he can provide something on offence to complement as a big slot weapon kind of thing

we did at least finally activate Ojabo only to see him barely get used and not replacing Boyle lol

all 4 of those healthy scratches figure to provide more than Boyle at the moment

And it's annoying because we know it's largely a money issue as to why Boyle is still here. And if that's the case, whatever. But no reason he should be on the field at this juncture.

Thanks for the constructive input. I'll file this one away under things I'll forget quickly.
 
Huh?

The one credit I could give Huntley prior to tonight is he made quick, safe decisions and tonight that went entirely out the window.

Can't believe people seriously suggested he might surprise or that a Huntley led offense couldn't be that much worse than a Lamar led offense.

There's the sadist in me that wants to see Lamar leave so that Ravens fans who doubt him can see how dynamic he makes this offense, but the Ravens fan in me wants Lamar for life.

There is that sadist in me as well. For Lamar to leave us after we decide we didn't want to pay him, get traded to any team including a non-contender with good receivers and good offensive coaches, and have him win multiple SBs there to become the second coming of MJ. Entirely plausible scenario too. Lamar is simply that good.

You have to start to wonder if the WR route issues are directly connected to the play calling delays at this point. The WRs and their routes have been an issue all season and some quick film study will confirm that. But it's probably fair to start linking these plays getting in late to probably WRs not knowing what exactly to do, with no time for communication to get it worked out.

the number of times ive seen demarcus robinson the last 2 weeks at the snap look like he's looking at the QB having no idea what the play is or what route he's supposed to run, is not the low number it should be...

yeah sit him down and make him watch
stops him from potentially getting injured and complicating the process of cutting him in the offseason too

I don’t even want him back as the 3. I want to completely overhaul the group in the off-season and just keep Bateman. I’m done with everyone else
