You’re missing nothing, in my opinion. I have never once been impressed by him.

Baltimore has had a bad D this year.

Agreed. But that is much different than “this is what Baltimore does”. No, we got our ass beat. For the reasons you listed above.

Sorry, it’s just not a good excuse. That unicorn team lost to the Raiders 2 weeks ago. And the Chiefs before that. And the Cowboys took them to within 3 points. There was no excuse for that performance last night.

lol, no, it’s not a good excuse to get blown out because “that’s what the opponent does”.

I don’t know if everyone has noticed, but that’s our entire passing offense right now outside of Coleman. Short, quick, passes, with tons of WR screens.

I was hoping we had an open guy downfield. That’s rough. But the blame, all around, is on Brady. He did not set that play up for success. These type of plays work when you put the wildcat formation on film and show teams that you run the ball with it. This makes teams practice for defending the run when you go in this formation. It makes LB’s and S’s and even the defensive coordinator creep players up to stop the run when you enter this formation. But to just toss this out there, willy nilly, with absolutely no prior basis, then teams are going to defend both the run and the pass and this will never work. Im really disappointed in how poor Brady was last night. Mostly because i’ve been so impressed with him. Such a pendulum shift.

In the LB core - yes. Everywhere else, we simply got outcoached. - Not having quick dump-off options to Cook on 3rd and 8+ when the Ravens consistently sent 7 or 8 rushers at Josh. There were big chunks of yards to gain. Not a single RB screen either. - Not calling play-action on 2nd and short against stacked boxes. - Not blitzing Lamar or run blitzing at all until the second half. - Punting on 4th and 2 with the game spiraling out of control 🤮. - Repeated quick-hitter WR screens have been run so often that even the casual fan can see they’re coming. - QB SNEAKING OUR ALL-PRO QB ON SECOND DOWN AND INCHES - What the mother bleeping bleep!?!? - Very little misdirection. There is more but it’s depressing enough to list these out. Hopefully the coaching staff learns from this.

I’d venture a guess that he had a guy open for 6. He needed a split second more. Bringing it back to Brady … if that’s a play you want to run at some point, then you line up in wild cat and run the ball a few times over the first 3 weeks. Nothing extensive - just enough to put on tape that we run the ball out of that formation. Then you hit them with the pass.

I said it in the game chat as well, but that is a play you call when you are trying to gain momentum. When you are reeling and you want a spark. That is a play you call in the first half, for example - when we looked lost. That is not a play you call when you have all the momentum and are driving to hopefully come within four or five points of the lead. Aside from that one abomination of a play call, the rest of the game was an absolute unmitigated disaster of play calls as well. I recall second and shorts, like second and two, that were begging for a play action pass against a stacked box for big chunks. Instead, we ran straight into that stacked box. And also, what is up with all of the 2 yard quick hitter, wide receiver screens?

Thank goodness we punted on 4th and 2 in the first half.

Teams given up.

Welp, last time we got blown out on primetime… we went to the AFC Championship game.

It’s truly mind boggling that he picked that moment to call that. You’re methodically driving… and you call that. Thats a play you might call in the first half when the team is reeling and desperately needs a spark. Not when they have all the momentum.

Joe Brady goes from goat to GOAT.

Nope, get Corrington off punt return. We can’t afford that.

The ENTIRE TEAM is playing like complete garbage. We can’t even down a punt that hits at the 5 yard line.

Welp, Coleman ruined that drive.

Dang Coleman, you can’t drop that

We did try on that last drive but then the line gave Allen no time.

Maybe we will go for 4th downs now

Extremely outcoached on all sides of the ball.

And they’re now at the spot they would have been if we just went for it.

Guess McD hasn’t learned that he needs to be going for 4th downs in this game. Only chance.

You at least need the threat of the long ball for small ball to work. We aren’t attempting anything down field.
