Just fire the whole damn staff now. This is unacceptable.

They have durability issues. They lacked talent at corner even when they had depth. No defensive end has emerged as an effective pass rusher. The offensive tackle position is a mess.

This isn't a good team on a coaching or a personnel level. Maybe not a bad team, but they're definitely not fucking good.

We have better players... Don't kid yourself.... I honestly think Pagano got the shitty players that Grigson picked and that Pagano would have done better with Ballard players than Reich..... Reich is terrible!

If you can’t rush the passer you go nowhere in this league. This defense will not succeed without a passrush. They chose not to supplement the passrush with a FA veteran. They said “No, we have to play the guys Ballard drafted”. Which is bullshit. You earn playing time. If you can’t earn playing time you don’t deserve to play. Well this is the hole they dug. They can wallow in it.

Ok. Ss Blankenship was hurt. He couldn't get on the field for the first one, luckily we got a second chance. then he missed the second one. Obviously there was an issue. It was the right call to go for 2 there we were moving the ball at will. Maybe it was a bad play call but the right call to go for 2. Blankenship left 7 points on the field. Those plays changed the game

One of those misses was because Cambell blocked the kick. He was coming close all night. That’s on the line, not Blankenship. Blankenship missed a extra point but also made a 30 yarder. That last kick he missed was too far for him. They spent the last play running to center the ball when instead they should have been trying to pick up 10-15 more yards to get closer. They had a timeout left.

They had a timeout left, but there was only 6 seconds left to play ...... they may not have had time to run a play to gain 10-15 more yards without the clock running out. They would have been cutting it very close if they took that route, that's for sure.

Maybe, but unlike college football, the clock does not stop when you go down in the field of play until you are touched. If the Colts receiver caught a quick slant and immediately went down, the Ravens may have been smart enough to not touch him.

If anything, I think that perhaps they could have run a timing route on the sidelines with Wentz immediately throwing a looping ball to the sidelines after getting the snap from center and hoping that the wide receiver could haul it in before stepping out of bounds.

You can’t do that and a player can call themselves down and call a timeout.

An out route takes longer and then you also risk interception bc they know you want to get out of bounds.

Really ??? I thought that the quarterback as the only player on the field that could "give himself up" and call himself down without being touched. I guess the rules have changed if the rules now state that any player can go down in the field of play without being touched and simply call themselves down.
