The Refs, the OL, and the Coaching

Worst part about this loss is no Oline help is coming…. We either get better in house or we’re going to be in for a year of hurt and by we I mean Lamar
 
I mean, I'm watching the Bungles and Chiefs and they look like they are doing what they practice. Sure, they aren't great on every play. But I have yet to say, "WTF are they doing?" I feel like most of the game with us that there's hardly a series where something doesn't seem stupid, sloppy, or just plain bad. I don't know how to reconcile our "look" as I look at other teams. We don't look like we have a plan. idk

I don’t think anyone has argued Lamar is a better passer than Mahomes. Flip side, Lamar does so much with his scrambling and rushing ability that Pat can’t do. You really think Patrick would be just as good here without arguably the best offensive play caller ever? With Roman who had the two receiving options on the same play end up in the same area of the field.

I think the only other QB that has success in a situation like Baltimore is Josh Allen. I think people quickly forget how bad Flacco (granted it’s Flacco) and how bad the Ravens historically have been at offensive scheming. I think the real question since 2010 (all time great players included) have been saying John Harbaugh holds the team back.

It’s 2024, special teams are basically non-existent plays even with the recent kick off returns this year. What does Harbaugh bring offensively, defensively, or anywhere at this point. He’s wasted how many time outs and challenges just over the last 2 games.

Do you really think a Spags defense would allow Gardner Minshew to climb back into a game down 10 in the 4th quarter? Do you see Andy Reid challenging two useless plays that everyone in the bank can see was a bad challenge on the big board?

Yes Lamar won’t be a Burrow or a Mahomes but he doesn’t have to be. There’s a reason he dropped weight is because he doesn’t trust his options down the field even after a MVP year where he threw over 67% and a 102 QBR. Nothing is schemed easy.

I don’t understand after that Raiders game how Lamr is a talking point. He had a near flawless game. His downfield shots this game were pretty accurate too, which usually are more accurate when he’s not running the ball 20 times like he did against the Chiefs.

This message is too long for anyone to probably read but why is Harbaugh still around. He gives 0 advantage to either side of the ball, 2nd oldest HC who can’t adjust when needed, and you FEEL the games entering the 3rd and 4th which leads will slip away. It’s been a feeling since he’s been in the league.

It’s a sloppy team. Tucker is 1-8 (I think) outside of 50. Orr’s defense looks 1/10 of what MacDonald’s defense was. Where is Hamilton at all? Where is Roquan?

It’s irritating living in the Mahomes era, but just remember the last AFC team to win a superbowl before Mahomes was Brady. all credit goes to Mahomes, which I’m not taking away he is a top 5 QB OAT, but having Andy Reid and Spags makes it WAY easier. And we have Lamar running for his god damn life every play.

Lamar is 2 for sure, and I think better than Mahomes but we can’t say that without a ring
 
This dumbass always refuses to take accountability

I really think it would be okay over the course of the season if Joe D'Alessandris didn’t pass away. Now I don’t think the correct adjustments will be made, and I’m tired of the RTs switching drives bs.

The thing I don't get is why wasn't our plan to use Ricard as an extra blocker to help out our o-line early in the season. He only played 23% of snaps week 1 and I assume he played about the same this week, but last season with our established o-line we were using him for roughly 40% of offensive snaps
