We kept it within 7 in the 4th quarter. It may have just been me, but I felt as if we had a (albeit faint) glimmer of hope. Up until the 2 defensive TD's by the Ravens (thanks St. Pierre). It shows how the defense has been playing to keep the game within reach. Ultimately we were outmatched, but it means something to me that the defense was able to hold the Ravens for that long.

Yeah, I'm searching long and hard for positives. Outside of Goodson, that was about it.

I don't think he had the option... I think they were limiting his field to half... remember it's a guy who had only a few snaps in the NFL and only a week on the team... with all that against him, he did okay up till the end of the fourth quarter... he should have never been in then position.. but I think atleast it might open some jobs for him.

I missed the Gettis and Smitty being wide open. But what I did see was 2 perfectly thrown balls to Ravens defenders that was taken back for 6

Kind of represents our season. As soon as we get a glimmer of hope, something comes, swoops in, takes that hope back to the house for 6, and spikes it to make us feel worse

:iagree:

What koolaid is everyone drinking? Yeah, those ints were terrible. I saw an outstanding Raven defense playing. Who'd a thunk there'd be anything like that from the Ravens? But IMO our defense failed to hold them early and we paid the price late. Last Sunday vs Bucs our D was exposed and the Ravens just took advantage of what they saw on tape. Most of the afternoon the Raven WR's were wide open. Rice could run where ever he wanted to. How about walking into the end zone.

This was a player loss. Not coaches, not JR, not refs, players failed to execute. Period. This to me was the worst loss of the season. Ravens attacked every one of our weaknesses systematically. We are not better than we were in game 1.

That is what concerned me the most. It isn't difficult to point out our weaknesses. What remains to be seen is how the coaching staff tries to mask those weaknesses (o-line, offense, QB, etc...). Knowing Fox, we will end up finding ways to expose those areas even more. I don't have a good feeling about the Cleveland game, seeing all of this.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
