    Ordinarily, when an offense scores 42 points that team should win the game.

    Fixing the defense should be priority #1 going into the 2021 draft.

    42 points on a great defense. Damn.

    I recall reading somewhere today, that Baltimore’s defense gives up 19 points a game on average.

    I ask this question:

    Are the Ratfuckers  really considered one of the best defenses in the league?   I am not so sure.

    They’re ranked #5 in team defense.

  • Many things contributed to losing. Relative to our defense the truth is overall our secondary and linebackers were over their heads. Not enough talent to compete. IMO the inexcusable reason was our kicker. For the most part it’s just him , the holder and the ball. The extra point and FG distances were gimmes for a pro. He blew it!

    OK, so, that means that our offense shredded that #5 defense.   

    Of course, to be repetitive, that means our defense reverted to being  worse than pathetic.

    He did, but, still, when you score 42 points, you should still win. 

  • I really was disappointed with Joe woods’ game plan...several teams have given good examples on how to slow down the ravens offense and it looked like woods just decided not to try to employ anything from these examples...playing Jackson like an ordinary qb and aggressively rushing the passer and blitzing just doesn’t work especially when you don’t focus on containing the edge...the most successful teams have not forced the rush but contained the pocket with 4 while having a spy focus on lamar...I don’t remember a single play where the browns had a spy on Lamar or when the line made an effort at just containing the pocket...

    The single best way to combat the Ravens is to jump out to a big lead on them.

    It's how the Browns beat them early on last season, and it's how the Titans beat them in the playoffs.

    Unfortunately, the Browns were trailing for big chunks of the game.

    Well, when your defense is poorly manned, and apparently poorly schemed,  it is hard to jump out to that lead. 

  • If I recall correctly, once the Browns took a one point lead, the Ravens fumbled and recovered it. If that ball bounces differently, it’s a whole other story. 
     

    Also, I thought the Baker pick-6 hit harder than the missed kicks. 
     

    ir was an exciting game but I agree with others that the game plan was incorrect. 

  • I know Frenchie. Although we literally fumbled 5 times and recovered all of them somehow. But you're right...if that ball pops out a bit more....

    Yes, it is.  Now you have learned something.
