The MVP, The Closer and The Penalties

[rossihunter2]

Lamar in primetime is just different!

Derrick Henry is such a weapon at the end of games. Felt like he barely touched the ball and there he is with 15 carries and 169 yards.

For some reason we can’t secure an onside kick recovery. Only two successes all year and both against us. The rest of the NFL is 0/18 on onside kicks.

Penalties were horrible.

We are such a dominant but undisciplined team.

Shades of the cowboys and raiders games at the end there. I hope Todd Bowles feels good about those 14 garbage points in trade for Chris Godwin’s season.

Hopefully we get a good update on Marlon.

Lamar is #1

The Bucs coach should be fired immediately for just screwing his team over trying to cover a spread. Even if the Ravens had LET them score on the first play when they got that ball back with under 2 minutes left, it did not matter. The Bucs by rule could not do another onside kick so the Ravens would fair catch the ball and take a knee and the game is over. They just screwed themselves out of a division title, and likely the playoffs, trying to cover a point spread. I would fire Todd Bowels immediately.

Lamar is the best QB in the NFL. I don’t know how you can watch Mahomes play and then watch Lamar play and think any different

I missed the 1st half, how bad did Marlon's injury look?

 

[rossihunter2]

For those confused why lamar and henry sat out that last drive:



even if the bucs scored quickly they'd have to kick us the ball back and then we could just kneel it out

 

[rossihunter2]

hahahaha

My best guess is Todd did not realize the new rule. Just dumb

 

[ravenslord]

Lamar is still improving !! lol. Good luck to the rest of the NFl , including the pricks in KC

How does a head coach in the NFL not know this? It’s literally his job.

Defense has a lot to clean up. They didn’t start the game well and they didn’t finish the game well.

Need to clean up the penalties, too.

 

[rossihunter2]

Ar'Darius Washington needs to get on the juggs machine

Our offense is on fire right now. I said it in the game thread, the differences between this year and previous years is the fact we can go score for score and we have been closing out games.

Defensively, it's going to be a long season with Orr as DC. Lamar will have to score 5 TDs a game to ensure the win.

In regards to the end of the game.... Todd Bowles deserves a ton of criticism for what happened to Godwin there. Just lost him for the year on unnecessary plays. Kneel the ball and go home, imagine if we sacked Baker and he got injured there as well. Terrible coaching decisions by Tampa at the end.

If only Davante waited one more week, he would have been a Buccaneer tomorrow.

God this defense is frustrating. So many blown coverages week after week.

It’s a weird world where a Ravens offense is light years ahead of a Ravens defense.

 

[Adreme]

How does a head coach in the NFL not know this? It’s literally his job.

There are a LOT of people who could be in his ear telling him that rule. The fact that nobody got in his ear and told "this game is unwinnable" when the Ravens staff knew it is the reason he should be fired. It is his job to know the rule or to be around people who can tell him the rules. That failure means that they are now likely to be without both their all pro WRs, with Godwin almost certainly out for the year and parts of next year. That is gross incompetence and I would fire him for it.

Going into the 4th quarter I was optimistic that our defense might be finding it's stride and not becoming a massive liability and then the 4th quarter happened...

 

[Simba]

I know people are going to blame Orr, and he’s not innocent, but if I see another god damn zone play where 3 guys all make their reads to the same guy, I’m going to lose my shit. We just cannot get our zone responsibilities right and teams keep exploiting it as they should.

 

[marklar]

Strange game overall. The defense looks like absolute shit most of the first half and we still hold a lead. Completely dominate the 3rd quarter and the 4th is mostly coasting although the defense decided to do some of its bad habits again.
Lamar for MVP. Henry was such a fun addition to this team.
World record in holding calls, some of them correct, some of them large WTFs.
Fun to see Jackson starting to trust Bateman after all this time.

And as every week, still waiting for either of the Williams/Jackson safety duo to have their first PD of the year (perhaps they have had that already, but boy are they constantly late to the party).

That's still his job. Just not on gameday
