Lol you say this every week and ut makes no sense. Every game is important we are only 1 game ahead of steelers and browns. And it wasn't vanilla he just stopped doing what worked.

When its time for the big game though like the lions,seahawks, and against the browns d offense put up around 28 points, but you might be right which is not good for the team

Defense looked good in coverage, Stephens is good man. Clowney is a Raven. I can't explain that.
KYLE "HEY IM OVER HERE DONT EVEN TRY IT" HAMILTON might be our second best defender on this team. I haven't felt this way about a player on our D since Suggs. Mind you I love Marlo to death
As for the offense, I don't know what else to say. We went out there and looked great when we attacked their weakness and just decided to stop doing everything that works. No coincidence we struggled for a bit when OBJ was pulled. OBJ looks incredible on short and intermediate plays and still has speed. What he doesn't have is that break away speed to track down a ball like he used to so I don't understand why we INSIST to do it with him and not the other 3 guys who are faster. What is the reasoning there?
We moved the ball at will when we had Lamar work the defense with his short and intermediate game with some runs. Then we just stopped? Am I watching a different game? Or does Keaton look like our most explosive weapon in the backfield not named Lamar? And if that's the case, why is he not on the field on 3rd down when you might need a big play?
Likely started on making plays with his legs and then we told him to go fuck himself the rest of the game

Imagine if the Chargers didn’t lose Bosa? I think they would have won this game .
Bosa and Mack ! Damn
Bosa and Mack ! Damn
none of it makes sense
we've got so many elements of this offence that are working well
but whenever we get any sort of rhythm on offence we go away from what's working and waste a few downs and right now this offence isnt getting the tackle play to be in 3rd and long consistently
odell and bateman completely vanished from the gameplan in the 2nd half
we ran the ball well at times, but did almost nothing off play-action it felt like
not sure what was going on with the gus usage
the 4th down failure was completely nonsensical - wildcat for basically a 6 yard QB sneak, taking the ball out of your best player's hands, taking away the option value of having 2 people in the backfield, taking away the option value of having a QB there as a passing option, running behind a line that had been bullied early at times... that play should not be in our playbook with lamar as our QB

Monken was just horrific tonight.
He deserves an F . So does Harbaugh. Macdonald gets an A

Harbaugh's game summary at the start of the post game presser confirms it - he was drunk today.
Feels like a constant barrage of trying to be too cute instead of doing what works. Not everything has to be some sideline to sideline play with a read option. Get the ball out to your playmakers. Our top 4 WRs can all win their battles and we seem resigned to a one read play call in the passing game way too often.

all true but Bosa and Mack together would have decimated our line . Mack did it on his own.

monken needs to learn to feed the hot hand or its gonna hurt the team

Getting my blood pressure up and shit.
Offense looked solid early on and just fucking stalled on some fuckery. Just felt like we have to work harder to move the chains than the Chargers did. Nice to see Likely getting involved and I'm sure his confidence has gone up. Would've liked Zay to kneel but at least it didn't matter. Todd Monken. Sir, that was atrocious playcalling on your part. We're entering the month of December. The excuses are over.
Defense. Outstanding performance despite the offense failing. Forcing turnovers and whatnot.
Harbaugh was wack tonight for NOT challenging not one, but two blatant first downs that weren't called. The refs were beyond atrocious tonight. Like "they-need-to-be-suspended" type of atrocious.
Warmed my heart to see the place getting loud when we made a big play. Nice to see we have a good contingent of Ravens fans in LA.

We will need to draft a LT in the draft. Stanley simply has not been able to recover from that horrific injury he suffered.

I believe that Moses could be shoulder related and maybe the bye does him well. Ronnie is just a turnstile every week
one thing i definitely miss about greg roman
he wasnt afraid to call the exact same play over and over again on a drive if the defence couldnt do anything about it
I think he was fine
that's a very good point.
Yep. If you can pound the rock for 5 yards a clip consistently, keep doing it. Feels like now we get a successful play and try to build something entirely different off of it.
