He's also better than a lot of the OCs league-wide. A lot of teams will be firing their coordinators after this season. Ravens won't be one of them.

He got a half sack on the Travis Jones sack I believe.
they also had the wrong down marker for the chargers at one point on the sideline too lol
missed the penalty on geno stone early
missed the kick catch interference
we got some significant benefit from the refs too
just really bad reffing in a few games this weekend all around

Kind of off topic, but your post made me wonder something. You're glad to be wrong about Hamilton. Many Ravens fans are happy to be wrong about OJ Howard over Marlon, etc. Makes sense. Why wouldn't fans be glad their team drafted a good player?
So why are the fans who were wrong about Lamar still waiting to pounce after every loss rather than admitting they were wrong and enjoying a good Ravens player?

Will definitely give him this. He is doing a good job with Lamar. He's also letting him operate much more freely with audibles etc. Not to mention getting them out of the huddle with more than five seconds left on the playclock.

At the risk of sounding argumentative, I respectfully disagree with the Stone thing. To me, it looks like he was at least trying somewhat to pull back from delivering a massive hit.

I can't speak for others, but I've been complimenting Lamar after almost every game this year. Yes he's still human and makes mistakes but he's doing a superb job operating a pro style offense at a high level

It was an ugly offensive game, luckily the Chargers are better at shooting themselves in the foot than we are, but I don't care.
We are top of the AFC, comfortably top of the toughest division in football and Lamar survived Week 12 despite NBC's attempt to jinx him. Things are OK.

Ravens have held Herbert to 16 points in 2 games.

That wasn't directed at you in any way. I was just thinking aloud.

I think there are a number of reasons for it. Some that are indeed his fault (he's gotta win a few playoff games), some not his fault (he doesn't exactly fit the mold of a classic QB in certain people's minds)
I do remember him holding his leg on that sack, but wasn't sure he'd get the half on it.

He got to Herbert first. I think the commentators got it wrong attributing it to Travis only.

QBs are treated differently. It's easy to transition from whiff vs hit on non-QBs, because they're not being judged on W/L record (right or wrong).
The standard by which the public measures QB play has never been more atrocious than it is today. I don't think the public has ever been dumber in regards to what good QB play looks like then they are right now in the history of the NFL. You have to win at least one SB AND consistently put up great stats annually in order to even be discussed as a good QB. You can win five MVPs, but if you have the playoff track record Lamar does, you're ass to a lot of people. Conversely, you can be Jimmy G and win heaps of playoff games and play in tons of big games, and still be ass, because you're not consistently good.
I think with Lamar, there's two different "eras". The rookie deal Lamar Jackson blew away pretty much all expectations from any fan. If anybody tells you that rookie deal Lamar didn't exceed expectations, they're lying and full of shit. He wasn't the #1 overall pick. He was a guy taken at the end of the first round, viewed as a "project", and couldn't throw. And he won an MVP and had one of the better W/L records over a five year span for any QB in history (literally).
And all that is well and good. Now, today, Lamar is in era #2, which is the era of an extremely highly paid, franchise QB, who is now officially paid precisely to put his team in a position to win a Lombardi nearly every year. That's the standard. It may be an unfair one, but its the same standard that Josh Allen and Joe Burrow and Pat Mahomes and every other very highly paid QB is in. And its not unreasonable either. He's officially past the point where it's "well he didn't have the draft pedigree of others". It's meaningless. He's an experienced veteran at this point.

This is a championship caliber defense, it was the more fun unit to watch last night. Just get to the playoffs and let’s do this

Per the officials report after the game, they didn't think it was a penalty. They felt contact was made while Herbert was still in the playing field.

Monken has done a lot of good things, I’m extremely encourage because I’m not convinced most of our offensive issues aren’t execution problems. Last night had some sus moments but overall offensive play calling has been pretty good, including situationally, where we have failed has been holding up in pass pro consistently, catching the ball consistently, and Lamar landing his deep shots where receivers have good separation. If we are 30% better in those 3 phases of execution then nobody questions it, this offense is HUMMING, Pittsburgh doesn’t happen, colts likely don’t happen, and we are absolutely rolling.
It should be expected that we struggle to pivot from the andrews loss right away. Monken, Lamar, and the skill players all have a learning curve there.

Echo the sentiments from others, our defense dominated and you can’t expect to dominate every week. Our offense has put five 30 point games in a row, they just couldn’t get it going tonight because of the pass rush, at least they didn’t turn it over.
I am really not concerned about the Steelers, they are a bad football team and they will lose more games. I think Kyler Murray scores too much for their offense to compete. Don’t believe any hype from the Bengals game today, the Steelers were bad again and a terrible INT from the Bengals backup flipped the game.

There should be a mandate that everytime he wants to call a screen it has to be a run instead. At least 3x a game. Dial back the WR screens, one’s gonna get pick sixed soon
