lol, I don’t think you even read my whole post. I think I said I/you/any fucking body can’t blame Lamar completely. There were plenty of fuckups to go around, including Monken and his game plan. But I said what I said. Go back and look again at the play. There was no way he should have thrown the fuckin ball. Period. Was it Lamar’s fault we lost the game? Well no, but he contributed to the clusteryfuck of a game.
Man, my phone has been blowing up with text messages from cats that I talk football with (fans of other teams) and even from those that I have not. Cats have been hitting me up on Facebook messenger calling the Ravens the great pretenders, and chokers, and how Lamar will NEVER get us to a Super Bowl to win it because he's a running back who chokes under the pressure of big games. Hard to argue.
Because the ball was intercepted far short of where Likely was at the time contact. Db had a clear unobstructed path to the ball, Likely, even without contact, would have had to backtrack from inside the endzone, back to the goal line, and highpoint 3 defenders where 2 had far superior leverage to the catch.
If you look at the screenshots I provided, this is objectively false.
This is what I worry about with John. He had the vet leadership and a replacement OFF coordinator that distilled a few plays into a Championship. The only other time we really looked like we knew what we were doing was with Kubiak, then in 2018-19 - which I argue was lightening in a bottle, and then this year. We really looked like we figured it out only to... heartbreak again. I'm just not convinced of John after all these years and I don't want that to stop me from wanting to believe in Lamar.
Exactly, it's not the fault of just one player. I find it really hard to swallow that the refs cost us the game or that a call did. Why? Because you can't lose your composure and get a Personal Foul penalties and expect to get deference on tight interpretations, no matter what they are... PI's, holding whatever. The refs, like it or not are then there to diffuse more bullshit. The loss of composure and poor overall OFF play cost us the game. Not the refs.
Agree with this wholeheartedly. Sometimes I really wish we had a young offensive minded HC at the helm. I’m almost on the fire-Harbaugh bandwagon but there’s just absolutely no way it happens unless it’s on his terms
My in laws have been brutal, trashing Lamar. Unfortunately, I have to take this shit.
Absolutely. We’re going to have a killer schedule next year and will have to contend with up and coming teams in Cleveland, Houston, Jacksonville, Miami, and of course KC.
Yes it was a total team loss. I just don’t see how anyone could blame the refs for the loss after all the mental mistakes that we made. Had we played an error free game and the refs blew a call that cost us the game, then heck yeah I’m on the “blame the refs” train.
He's got one more year, than a lame duck in '25.
Dude, absolutely! There were 10 to 15 yard empty spaces behind their Dline and our WR's were so aggressively charging downfield for the homerun that those intermediate passes were open the whole game and Lamar never considered them. It was a horrible failure in throwing to the deep routes the whole game. Five completions in that intermediate zone pulls the LBs and maybe a S in there to mitigate completions and that - THEN - maybe opens up the long ball. By the 2nd quarter, I had given up seeing it. And when they came out in the 3rd doing the same shit, it was over. Over Johnny! lol
Last week when we won our first playoff game and we celebrated in the locker room like we won the Super Bowl, I quietly said to myself…..I don’t like it! All that stupid dancing, I did not like that shit one bit!!! That game didn’t mean shit, we got two more games we got to fucking win!!! You got to stay laser focused on the goal. Big fucking deal, we won one playoff game after a bye week, all that does is get us a shittier draft spot in the draft, so why would you celebrate now like that? This was what my gut told me. Then I see a team yesterday that looked undisciplined and got pushed around and bullied at home. At least after a few drives, the defense was able to wake the fuck up, but the offense could not get its shit together. They panicked and you could see it on the sideline. You could see that wide eyed bewildered look…that, this is not supposed to be happening shit on their faces. I saw it on Harbaugh’s face.
