I'm terrified to think what this board will look like if our D gets lit up next week and our offense still struggles. And yes, I'll be in that frenzy if not leading it 😀

I've always wondered if the Roman praise was self-created. I never thought the SanFran offense was considered anything special. With that, Rex is the defense and leave the offense to Roman. However, Rex is still responsible for penalties, tempo, and overall atmosphere. I equally blame them both today

Disagree. I'm still blaming Roman. TT seemed to run the plays called for him. TT can make the throws and even more with protection

Maybe I'm spiraling. Maybe the truth hurts. Who knows? When I look at all the scores, even the Cleveland game, I think it's a fair argument to make that we were the worst team to play today. Yeah, one week. Yeah, away game. But did anyone think that was going to happen today? Did anyone think that was going to be an honest conversation? The more I'm thinking about it, the more angry I'm getting at the coaching, Dareus and yes, Whaley. I believe in the talent on this team. I'm far from a homer. But I genuinely believe that a top 5 coach wins this game. In fact, I think our team wins if you just swap the coaches on the sideline. I'm mad at Whaley for hiring Rex. I'm mad at him for not addressing the right side of the line. I'm mad at him for taking Lawson IF he knew that surgery was a likely outcome. I'm mad at Dareus for being a selfish piece of ****. Rex/Roman. Just !@#$ you both. No excuse to have the team show up like that today. Absolutely no excuse.

I like you

Kittens got claws

On that play, the ball only traveled about 20 yards in the air. That was the longest pass of the game. Pathetic

Again, I don't care that they challenged it. I care that they did it and showed the play they wanted to run. And then STILL ran the play.

You need to add Carpenter's Missed FG. That was the moment the deja vu kicked in for me and I knew we were done

It was hard fought for me to not throw up all over my Sammy jersey

Doubt it. The ravens were only running the ball and getting 1st downs at the end. They pry would have gotten into FG range on that last drive. And if your way of staying positive is that we could have won 7-6, your BBFS is worse than mine

Please take this thread, game tape, and anything else in relation to today and burn it, bury it, then burn the ground

Fair enough. And yeah, it might as well have been tea time.

If you look at the Ravens players quotes, their #1 gameplan was to keep TT in the pocket and contain. Unfortunately, they also got pressure up the middle so he had nowhere to go.

Don't pick and choose facts. I even said that the result was good for the defense. 13 points was enough to win. BUT, you could also see the lack of pressure up the middle. Read everything before attacking.

I had no problems with Shady and thought he did well for what he was given. I'm also not willing to sell-out Tyrod after one game. He didn't audible much meaning that they ran the called plays. The called plays were poor. There weren't guys running around free or deep. Never saw Clay run down the seam once

Exactly. The Ravens didn't disguise a lot of coverage. They kept 2 deep, put 5 on the line, and 4 rushed. It's sad how little we could adapt

I love under-reacting. Don't worry, you'll join us soon. One of us....one of us

you mean 4-12 or 5-11? I'm not sure honestly. It's a toss up

This team won 5 games last year. Our defense did good today. But no pressure up the middle and Flacco had good time. We will not play the Ravens every week

This is the most alarming thing to me. On paper, I thought we matched up well in almost all categories. If I'm spreading out Sammy, Woods, Goodwin, Clay on the line and McCoy in the backfield. I should be giving team fits in space and it looked like we wanted to play on a 15 yard wide field. If this is the whole playbook being open to TT, throw it out

Yes, I had a typo. His high throws were alarming. As for Sammy, I don't know that I agree with him being open all game. He would find pockets to sit in, but TT doesn't throw people open well.

Just got home from the game and was hoping the 75 minute drive would calm me down, but nope... The Fans I didn't have a single fan say a word to me about being a Bills fan. The parking lot didn't really fill up until the last hour before the game and none of the tailgating was all that impressive. When watching the game, I only had to stand up 2 times the entire game. The fans were nice, but overall timid and nowhere near the atmosphere the Ralph generates. Offensive Playcalling and Downfield The Ravens played with 2 safeties deep most of the game. There were a few times they didn't, but you could tell they were trying to take away the pre-snap read to throw deep. No excuse to not take a single attempt, but it was noticeable moreso than other games. Almost no spreading of the field with the WR's. Most of the formations had the 2 or 3 WR's on the same side of the field. It made it really easy for the defense to overload one side. That was probably the most noticeable thing to me. The Ravens were able to cutback on our defense with relative ease, while we would get shut down most of the time. Defense !@#$ you Dareus. You were incredibly missed up the middle. There was almost no push. Penalties The fans were laughing at us by the end. Every time there was a flag thrown, they would joke how they knew it had to be on the Bills. I couldn't say anything because they were right. Things I think I didn't care at the time, but our offense clearly needed more time together in the preseason. They looked completely lost out there. There was no rhythm, unnecessary time outs, and Tyrod's lack of audibles to throw deep was disturbingRoman deserves a lot of blame for the calls. There weren't a lot of players running free down field. The WR's were all running around on one side of the field. TT could have made changes, but the calls didn't set them up well for success. Why did we sign Clay? Every previous year, I could tell myself that the offense just needs to gel in this new system. This year, I got nothing. If this is 8 months of planning, I'm terrified to see what we do with 4 days. This team was not prepared. Penalties, offensive intensity, time-outs, the review (next bullet) Rex looked like a clown reviewing that td. I'm fine with him reviewing it if they thought he was in. I couldn't tell from my seats. But to take that long, show your next play, score, and then have the time-out negate it. THEN, run the same play again...I was embarrassed. Why not more all out blitzes. The one with the all-out blitz, we almost had a pick-6. Defense only gave up 13 points. That's the result. So I respect it. But, it wasn't the aggressive D I was expecting and don't know if other teams would have tore us up more. Baltimore won 5 games last year. Next week will be interesting. Why the hell is Duke Williams ever covering anyone, let alone Mike Wallace? Unless there is a 5th WR on the field, it's Gilmore, Darby, Graham, Williams, then 5 guys, then Duke. It was bad from the snap and it was painful to watch live. Tyrod looked as bad throwing on the run as I've seen him. Offensive playcalling again - If this is what a healthy Woods, Watkins, and Clay gets us....DOOOOOMMMEEEDDDD!!! I was honestly debating driving up for the game on Thursday and I just can't justify it. I am on the side where I believe that Palmer hit a wall and the Cards may take a step back. Even still, I can easily see us 0-3, 0-4 to start this season. I started with the fans because it makes me sick to think about our fans. We deserve so much better. I honestly wonder if this season ends with Roman as our HC.

Is there a plan for tailgating anywhere outside the stadium, besides the bar?

Thank you
