    Dropped passes last week, missed blocks this week.  Missed a golden opportunity to recover a fumble.  Bad teams make these kinds of mistakes.

    Long year ahead of us 

  • Clear fumble...nothing from booth??

    They called it a fumble but Baltimore recovered

    It was a combination of both last week.  Guys weren't getting open, but the running game (the playaction game specfically) wasn't sucking up LB's.  So they camped out in throwing lanes.  

    Then when they did get some openings, Flacco missed on a few big ones.

    Heard- If the passing game has no momentum down the field there’s no reason to have Flacco on the field. I’m not even putting that all on Flacco, but there’s no reason to have him out there just to see what’s happening now. Might as well get the rooks some reps if that ain’t changin

    Flacco is an attempt for Coaches and Front Office to keep their jobs.  3-14 again would give Midwest Jerry a reason to look long and hard at the staff

    Finally after three wasted offensive possessions someone beats man coverage and we block enough upfront to give him time

     Rookies aren't going to change anything and you're just more likely to get them hurt. 

    3 phase issue. 

    Can't take the top off 

    OL looking old

    Running game isn't forcing 8 man boxes.  (You can see the Ravens playing 7 man fronts) 

    QJ might help to fix the 3rd one a bit.

    I mean sure, but the number one goal of this season has to be knowing if Gabriel or didn’t wanna be a Raven Sanders make you draft other areas next season. To me it isn’t about fixing these early woes or winning games,  it’s just getting the film on answering that question to be honest. Given what you said isn’t changing (or can only get worse) , gonna have to take a chance eventually. 

    I wasn’t in favor of either them week one and I’m not suggesting making a change at half time or even over the next few weeks. But unless this looks like 2023 Flacco fast, just doesn’t seem prudent to keep trotting it out there.

    On a pass to a normally blocking tight end on 4th and goal from the 11 who said afterwards the ball was in the lights and not seen until it just did appear before hitting his hands. So he grabbed it.  Someone photoshopped ND's Touchdown Jesus with an A&M 12th man jersey on.?

    There's a bit of truth to this.  But with the personnel issues, then you asked how skewed the rookie QB eval is going to be..?

    edit: To further my point - neither a 3rd round QB in Gabriel or a 5th rounder in Sanders would stop this team from taking a QB 1st round in the 2026 draft barring a miracle.    The Browns are already doing their due diligence on passers.

    Definitely fair. Will tell you this much- it’s such a shame wasting Garrett’s talent with such anemia on the offensive side of the ball.

    Yep, it's criminal. The OL especially- they got old, fast.

    On the plus side we have held Henry to 5 yds rushing and Jackson to 0. That is amazing in itself.

    This was my observation. The OL just looks sluggish. Hell, the whole offense looks sluggish.

    Joe Burrow got knocked out of the Bengals game. There were many refrains from overly committed Bengals fans around me “there goes the season!”

    Jax’s defense was all over him.

    I'm pretty sure Josh Allen had his nose broken and was out for several plays in the 1st half. He's not one to take himself out of a game, but he sure did when he took that shot inside his helmet.

    It would be nice to send Jeudy across the field against man coverage on 3rd down.  Instead of the hitch routes . Flacco doesn’t have time to go through progressions

    Announcer says it's a left toe injury.
