Hey they used play action, what happened? Linebackers sacked right up, Oliver was wide open, bad pass. Now he hits Andrews down the sideline for 30 yards

If Roman sticks to Roman, after a 5 yard run he will empty the back field with a full back split out and throw deep passes...

2nd series starting near mid field, Dobbins for 5 as the 1st quarter ends, 3-0 Ravens

The defense is playing very well, leaving the rookie with little room to throw or run.. well done

Once again, Roman kills a drive. Sure, Oliver was open for a big gain if the pass was on target, but why, why empty the back field and throw? Even Oliver had two guys on him. Put guys in a position to succeed, use play action, draw the backers up for a split second and Oliver is a little more open. Run the ball, make them stop you, they stopped them once one run play.

They, teams, have found a weakness in the guards on field goal kicks, this is not good

3rd and 11, a pass for 6 to Likely, Tucker time, again... 55 yarder into the wind is blocked again

No play action, empty back field, throw that to the post and Oliver scores

Boom, Gus with a nice move to slip a tackle, 15 yards

That's it, Gus for 5, pound them

Now run the dag gone ball, 2 carries by Dobbins, 16 yards, keep it going

Nice job scrambling and keeping your eyes down field, and Sammy turning up field for 40 yards. Then Roman jokes, calls a tight end screen, same one Huntley over threw a series earlier but to the opposite side. That too was well covered, they should have pump faked that and had Sammy go into the endzone, easy score if they had..

Oh my gosh, he had Andrews wide open for 7, take the hit Tucker time....

He doesn't have much more than Huntley. Neither is more than a game or three back up in this league.

They would need the Phins or the Pats to lose

Ho-Ho-Ho the Falcons are just the present the Ravens need to bring joy to all of the Ravens' fan girls and boys.

When a player is wide open, the qb has time, and the pass is: 1)in the dirt 2)behind him 3) is so far above them they have to get a 20 foot extension ladder out to get a few fingers tips on, that is on the qb if the pass is not caught. Don't get me wrong, there have been many real drops, but not as many as a lot of the don't blame Lamar camp would have people believe. Are these the best wide outs? No But do you or these YouTube heroes, know the timing of said routes? Let us start there. A 3 step drop is for timing, a quick, short pass, in the flat, an out, an in, a comeback. A slant, a slot or tightend option route at the level of the linebackers. A 5 step drop can also be a timing route, a comeback, a square out, (I'm showing my age), or in, a shallow cross, behind the backers, or a back shoulder throw down the sidelines. A 7 step drop is for deep patterns, both inside and outside the numbers, a ton of route combinations too many to mention. If a qb takes a 3 step drop when it should be a five step, and has Noone open, whose fault is it for him being sacked, have to wait, running? Certainly not the wide out. Same for 5 & 7 steps. There is a reason for 3, 5,7 step drops, it gives the receivers time to get to the top of their routes, the qb time to determine post snap if it matches up with what he read presnap. Some of the problems have not been because of the skill level of the wide outs. It has been because the qb, Lamar, Huntley, have taken an improper drop. It doesn't matter if it was from under center nor in shot gun, the steps, the pat on the ball, matter immensely. But you won't hear the pundits crying how bad the receivers are telling you about how bad Lamar's steps are on each pass play. Yes, a lot of the issues are because of Roman and his route combinations, some on the receivers ability to run those routes. Some on the drops, but a large portion is on Lamar, his inaccuracy this year, last year, and his timing on the drops. Yes, you can take the 3, 5, 7, steps too slow or too quickly, as well as taking the wrong number.

Again, one says drops, another, very difficult catch because of an inaccurate pass. Should be caught? Okay, they are pros, but a properly thrown pass will be caught Oh and yes I will gladly sit down with that YouTube and discuss this over film, I bet he either changes his tune or kicks me off his "show"

In the R U Kidding me department They claimed Watkins on waivers today, Duv hurt his foot in practice... wow, really, Watkins is the answer for Duv? I feel bad for Sammy, how I love ya, how I love my dear OLD Sammy... but he is always injured, can't run faster than a tortoise going up an icy hill...smh

Welcome to the bar Harbs, in case you missed it And, they did talk to Bowser https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10059210-john-harbaugh-shows-support-for-greg-roman-as-fans-call-for-ravens-oc-to-be-fired.amp.html

Oh oh, gonna be 26 degrees for the game, Lamar better sit this one out

Ye being negative

Ah, never heard of him, but then I don't listen to talk radio any more, no do I view the pod casts. I only found the YouTube by searching for the story about the note. Still trying to figure out how a fan could have gotten in there long enough to litter those notes. Seems fishy to me, maybe Lamar, who didn't travel with the team, left those notes

Bills, Chiefs, Dolphins, Bengals. Ravens, Ingles, 9ers, Cowboys, Chargers is as far as I'll go

Boy if ever there was a get right game, this one is it for the offense. The Falcons are bad in every way, time to break out of this mud bank the offense has been stuck in, flex those muscles. We all they are there, we saw flashes of it this year, remember, one must only remember. If the offense doesn't take off this week, no matter who is under center, then just fire every coach right after the game, go get Harrel from Purdue before the ink dries on his new contract. Let Peters and the Big Guy rest, a rookie qb and average wide outs with a bad offensive line means the replacements can get some work. Maybe even that high draft prospect coming off of an injury, the one who did very little in college... cough cough
