Teams Baltimore Ravens - Rise and Conquer

[dlanod]

And got back from drop offs for the big play!

Killed off the Lamar can't win playoffs narrative.

Both good (yay, wins) but also bad (boo, wouldn't have as many if we didn't keep getting wild cards because of the bloody Steelers).

 

[LittleG]

Bills it is.


Browns TD. Browns TD. Browns TD. BrownsTD. What an epic destruxtion of the Squeelers.

 

[Big Red Machine]

Ravens win
Steelers lose

Today was a GOOD day.

We got a stud in Madubuike. Good draft for us!

We are good at drafting big boys up front. It’s why I hated the big contracts we gave them.... it meant we could never afford top line WR that we have desperately needed for years. In fact, we still need one.

Good breakdown by Kurt Warner about why so many of our passing plays don't work

Our players must be really good as we had a winning season because that play design is atrocious. Absolutely atrocious.

I think it's more a law of averages thing - if you run a play that is just a bunch of random "man beaters", you'll run into a certain percentage of man defense and a certain percentage of those routes will come good almost regardless of the players.

That said, I'm not sure if we've ever consistently run well design route concepts (except maybe in 2014 with Gary Kubiak) in the 12-ish years I've been following the team

That Kubiak year was awesome. Loved the bootleg play actions. Was so sad when he got hired away.

The Tampa Bay game was epic. Kubiak made being an OC look so easy. Was gutted when he left.

Our current situation is why I think all the Ravens fans hoping for a guy like Allen Robinson will pick us is just crazy talk.

The only way it'll ever happen is if we trade for someone or by some miracle we manage to draft a WR1.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. All the talk is about how great the Bills are but I'm quietly confident our defence will be the difference.

I am quite nervous (but I am pessimistic by nature). Bills are very, very good this year. Allen is balling.

I'm hoping its a combination of culture, a recent history of winning, players seemingly really liking Lamar and us having more cap space than most will be enough to lure a WR1, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen

Adding Allen Robinson would only make Brown cry more about his target share and put more pressure on Lamar to do something he's not special at. Complete waste of money honestly.

 

[dlanod]

Oof not a great start between a Tucker miss, a Dobbins drop and a Koch shank.

 

[trueblue_91]

That sucked

 

[dlanod]

Crazy thing was that it could've gone our way if not for RB drops

 

[drd23]

I think there's more that needs to be fixed than JKD's catching

O-line got beat mots of the night (Mekari's snaps did not help the cause). The pick 6 was brutal, but there were so many other errors throughout.

D were good though.

If you had of told me we would keep the Bills to 17 points I would have thought we'd win the game. This offence needs to take the next step. We can beat up on weak teams but when the going gets tough we fail to fire a shot.

A new Centre has to be a priority but something needs to fundamentally change for us to progress further next season.

But at least he would be a WR target for Jackson. Feel for both him and the fans. Not much there at all - wasting his talent and that of the defense.

C & WR1.
Nothing else needed, except keeping a push rusher.

This isnt a Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs thing mate where all of sudden a WR1 magically makes him a competent passer, completely different qbs.

Also, surely ARob has had enough of QBs with throwing question marks?

Step 1. Get a new offensive coordinator who can orchestrate plays to get WRs the ball with Lamar before you worry about splashing cash around in free agency to WR1s.
