Real cool how the Titans were able to beat Baltimore handily two years ago then Baltimore beats Houston handily this year in return. ****ing bullshit. Slowik's new job is incoming, so at least there's that. But only if you give a f**.
That was a different Titan squad with a better running game and better o-line. That Baltimore squad isn’t the same as this squad. This Baltimore team is much much better…. What happened two years ago is irrelevant….
I'm annoyed to report that Baltimore fans are actually pretty chill. They are a bit high on their own supply IMO, and are in for a rude awakening when Lamar turns back into a pumpkin as he always does.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard Ravens fans were like Philly/New York/Boston fans. Good experience overall?
Watched the final drive of the first half and 3rd + 4th qtrs again. Aikman was pumped talking about Stroud in a sugar huddle playing with rythmn, creativity using Dalton in the backfield to max protect. But then more penalties and a missed fg happened. Stroud's line at the half: 68% 130 yards. Pretty good against that defense. Move along to the 3rd quarter. Our plays were gifts to the Ravens, playing right into their strengths. Dammit Bobbay! He is a first year coach too so not going to demand his head to roll. One thing is consistent. Bobby was fooled by our running game showing some life the past three weeks just like he has been fooled by teams being weak against the run, only to find out the hard way. Sometimes you just run into a team that will make you 1 dimensional. Ravens did that. We stopped doing what Aikman was raving about. Defense wore down. I have faith Pitre will take this season personally, so close to making huge plays. TLDR, running game has to dramatically improve. It's not a talent issue from the o-line. Cohesiveness. We're around 2009 with the line. We need to get to 2010
It's my 2nd game in Baltimore and both times it was pleasant. I'm guessing the experience might not be so great if the Texans had won or were more of a threat. That fanbase is so spoiled.
The rookie QB finally showed up - at the worst possible time. Offensive line was dominated. Defensive line was dominated. Baltimore made great adjustments at the half and showed us what a REAL contender looks like and how they prepare and execute. Great experience for this team, but I wish we would have put up a Packers type resistance to the big bad wolf. Future will be exciting for this team.
The only mistake(s) I saw CJ make were how during periods of significant pressure he would consistently pirouette to his left. Sometimes it was the only play he could make, but about half the time it was either the wrong play (he could have stepped up or rolled right) or it was completely unnecessary (he got spooked knowing the OL was getting beaten consistently). Almost every time he did that little leftward roll maneuver the play was dead on the spot, because there's hardly a good throw to be made from a righty running to the left sideline. At best he'd grab 2-3 yards. Other than that, he played about as well as anyone could under such awful circumstances.
Divisional round woes it’s starting to become clear this team either lacks talent don’t have the QB of coaching to make it past that round in the past this time it just seems we lack talent however it would be nice to not have to go on the road in the divisional round for once. next season beating teams we should beat will be something we actually do going forward so we can host a divisional round game
Texans just didn't have the weapons to offset the Ravens. They blitzed the Texans relentlessly because nobody outside Nico Collins can get open in time. OL was fine last night as much as people don't want to believe it. 1 on 1 matchups weren't the problem. Stroud is special, but he needs help. Sure didn't help that it was presnap penalty galore.
Wouldn't have made a difference with how our offense was completely snuffed out, but I swear the wheels just fell off after that dropped INT in the endzone. Game will still tied at that point, we could have at least hung in a little closer if that play was made. Damn.
Not having to go on the road would help also playing in games up north or in bad conditions really isn’t what this team is used to doing they have never hosted a divisional round game that also doesn’t help
Offense mustered 3 points the whole game. If we had that pick we might have lost by 17 instead of 24. We were that dominated
