Yes, the team played horribly today. Offense was a disaster on every level. Special teams was atrocious. Defense was on the field so long they got gassed, etc.

 

But despite all of this we were a blocked punt away from winning. 

 

The team being awful and still almost winning is a silver lining to me.

I’ve calmed down a bit since earlier but no. I don’t think we win without the blocked punt either. 
 

After halftime we came out destined to lose. Idk if there’s no leadership from the guys on the team or if it’s coaches but our faults go beyond players. It’s deeply rooted into decision making and game planning.

This game was a reminder that we are still only in year two of the rebuild. Sam is still becoming accustomed to the offense, and he's under a lot of pressure from poor o-line play.

The team overall is very young, so this isn't by any means the finished product, not to mention CMC and Horn being out. Add CMC, Horn, and a lot of maturing and you have a much better team.

That's me being positive.

No overreactions here. The offensive line is terrible and Sam makes very poor decisions. The dude has no vision. He has been throwing into coverage all year but the difference is we are now playing teams whose secondary's will punish those forced throws. 

We went all in on the defense this year in win now mode but the problem is our offense isn't there. Robby is MIA most of the time and Sam makes terrible, terrible decisions. The offensive line is non-existent. The defense gets gassed from repeatedly stopping the opposing offense. 

No overreactions. It is what it is. We aren't ready this year. Once we invest in an actual QB and an Offensive line, we'll be playoff ready.

I have noticed a lot of those of us calm over this are canes fans and idk if its the years of us not being good that made us patient or the fact that our patience in fact paid off with the canes, but we're zen right now.

Defense wasn't gassed. You fools do understand google exists right. Or how about watch the damn game. We had +11 minute TOP and had a 7+minute drive in the 4th. Stop being inept on basic poo

 

No but expecting your defense to keep up that level of dominance and putting them in short field situations does deflate a defense. Not everything has a metric

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
