Week 8: Lamar, Our Hands, and The Coaching

Just when I thought Bateman may have a legit season this year, he goes and drops a ton of passes today.

I think he dropped two passes today or maybe it was just one. Not really sure. The one I saw he dropped was when he slipped and it looks like the sun may have been in his eye

I mean there's clearly some coaching influence, but I refuse to blame Orr or any other coach on the roster for 2 guys completely abandoning their zone to key in a guy in another player's zone. It's happened far too often and that's a lack of discipline and execution on the players' part.

Well one thing you can blame the coaching staff with is the undisciplined play overall with penalties ,etc.

Way too many mental errors .

This is a very undisciplined team .

Just a reminder.., We were winning this game with less than 3 minutes left when Hambone dropped the game wiinning pick. Catch the ball please.

I think I speak for 90% of Raven fans. When we scored with alittle over 2 minutes to go… we all knew this defense was going to fold at that moment and that they was going to march down the field and score on us.

And that’s exactly what happened. That’s how bad this problem has been all year.. we have zero faith in our defense

And you know what im gonna say to that. I 100% agree. That is totally undisciplined and unacceptable behavior. But here's the thing, the players doing that are among the elites in the NFL. They're not UDFA scrubs playing on the Panthers. So if you have that happening week after week, you have to as the DC get that corrected. It's literally your job.

Also under the previous regime, this happened a LITTLE early in his tenure and by rookies mostly. This is not the same circumstances

I just don't think it's that black and white. I agree that Orr has to do what he can to get it corrected but the players are not doing their jobs either.

If you suggesting that in 2022 during Mike MacDonald first year as the DC that miscommunication and etc only happened early in the season and only by rookies then thats interesting cause I don't remember it that way.

Jameson Hensley asked Eddie Jackson to take him through the Tillman touchdown. He said "cover zero, that's a tough spot but I gotta play it better". @JoeyFlex5

Cover zero… 3rd and 7. You played with a 15 yard cushion and still got beat on a go route cause you got caught looking at the blitz. Gtfo

When an elite player like
Roquan is playing poorly I’ll blame the coaches every time

My guess is that Roquan is playing hurt. He looks big around the middle, which may be fat, but I doubt it, knowing Roquan. It's probably some kind of padding/strapping. This is just a guess, but the way the Ravens haven't put him in front of a mic in weeks, when he's usually one of the main talkers, tells me they're not wanting to draw attention to him.

He's not wrong. He's on an island there and it was a pretty heavy mismatch in the Browns' favor. With that being said, Eddie was as flat as he could have been there. His feet were set for a crosser in front of his face and nothing else.

OK, fact is Kyle catches the ball, game over and we get on the plane winners.

I also agree with this. But what you'd expect is even if slowly, a DC doing their job at the correct level would see these things being reduced over time. We're just not. So yeah it's not black and white but we're not improving whatsoever

That's how I remember it. What jumps out vividly was week 4 vs Miami and JAD being 10000% lost and giving up I believe 2 maybe 3TDs

I don't think coaching is absolved of blame. I don't think the players are absolved of blame. Both are dropping the ball right now (one group literally) and they both need to improve to get where we need to be.

Yes and we go to next week pretending this team doesn’t need MASSIVE changes

Idk about you but I haven’t given a fuck about regular season wins since 2019. I’m looking for reasons to believe in this team come January. Right now i feel like im about to waste every Sunday from now til then. And if hamilton secures it, id feel the same, because I wouldnt feel like we stand a chance in the playoffs.
 
Bo Nix finna make us his bitch
