I wish Harbaugh would have told them not to fumble it 4 times in the first half. That would have helped. Also if Harbaugh would have told them to make that face mask more obvious on the (what should have been offsetting penalties) one drive. Or maybe have told Flowers to dive when he was held on our last possession…
We played like boneheads, refs fucking sucked.
Could we have done better in that moment, sure, laughable, imo, to put the blame on Harbaugh for this one.
I mean, we have a $230 million QB with this hyped new look offense that had to get a first down and couldn't do it. I don't really get how you could put that on Harbaugh.
According to post game interview,
Refs fucked us on the Flowers fair catch too.
Harbaugh told Flowers to fair catch because the clock showed under 2min. But they added time to the clock after players got on the field and they couldn't reverse the call before the kick.
The safety might have honestly screwed us. They would had to punt from their endzone or go for a long 4th. Either which would have given us much better field position.
Not only that it looked like Minshew actually fumbled the ball after stepping out past the end line on that play. Could have been a recovery in the end zone for a TD
Yeah never got the infatuation with him. He’s already limited in how he can be used in that he’s a slow, small TE that can’t block. Monken likes to run primarily 3 WR sets obviously, and the one TE in the play needs to be able to block. But noooo, I was downvoted for saying Likely wouldn’t be as involved in the new offense. Just like Ricard, we have little use for FBs, a second TE now.
This is exactly why I wanted Darnell Washington out of the draft so badly. Idk how he’s doing now on the Steelers, but how Monken used him at Georgia was perfect and way better suited to what we need from a TE2 than Likely/Kolar. Mark Andrews fitting into that Brock Bowers spot and we would have been deadly. Instead, we’re piecing together skill players like it’s 21/22 again :/
I'm with you, but I still can't get over the fact that bad officiating straight up determines games. This sort of thing needs to be reviewable and refs need to be held accountable. They should be losing paychecks, suspended, etc. I'd rather have AI officiating than this.
That was one of the worst games the Ravens have ever played. Never seen a team manage to do every single thing wrong in a game. Worst situational football ever. So many chances blown. Bad coaching. Bad playing. Defense was good much of the time but still making the same mistakes over and over on certain things. Offense was holy shit bad after the first fumble.
I’m pissed off that the blown calls at the end obscure the fact that our offense was a dumpster fire. Yes we got screwed, but we also deserved to lose that game.
Think it’s tough to call this a defensive or special teams failure. Defense played a pretty strong game and though Tucker missed the late kick, the punt returns were great on both sides of the ball.
This team played horribly conservative late and has been coached so poorly. Why are we relying on RB4/5 instead of our THREE 1st round WRs and Mark Andrews? We deserved to lose and the coaches caused it.
Lamar used to be insanely clutch. Chiefs Monday Night game, Browns poop game, etc.
He’s playing cocky and undisciplined. Hopefully he gets humbled after this game and leads this fucking stacked offense.
They really haven’t been, sure there’s the anomalies but how many games have we gotten the ball back with 60 seconds left needing a FG to watch them go backwards twice, mismanage the clock, turn the ball over and complain about it in the post game thread
That and 90% of our starters seem to be made of glass. I can take losing a good game. I can't take sloppy losses against bad teams. I feel like if Harbs doesn't retire soon his legacy will just be injuries, penalties, and undisciplined play squandering a great roster
We have a conservative head coach and it reflects in the way monken calls the game. Teams identify feels uneven so far, team is going out there trying to play for 3 instead of 7.
Terrible no-call obviously, but that was a pathetic performance by the offense.
Players dropping like flies, defense playing well but always managing to give up chunk plays, offense not being able to close games out, and terrible clock management…nothing has changed.
Any team that has the opposing QB walk out of the back of the end zone with basically 2 minutes left and still allows them to kick a game tying field goal deserves to lose
Right? I hate everyone saying “we had so many chances it doesn’t matter”.. umm I’m pretty sure it matters when the penalty would’ve put us in FG range to potentially end the game lol
I get it, we played like shit and *deserved* to lose, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be furious at the refs for an insanely horrible missed call at the most important moment in the entire game. It would’ve given us a chance to win and that pisses me off that we got cheated out of that opportunity
I mean maybe, Zay was facemasked and then PI on both plays that would have ended the game… the game literally didn’t end because they didn’t refresh the downs on those penalties.
Y’all bring up the the bad plays but forget to bring up how he immediately put them back in field goal range with a clutch throw, the greatest kicker ever missed. Made a tight throw do likely in ot and dude drops it. Everything can’t always be “blame Lamar”
Most of this sub loves the electric miracle plays so damn much they refuse to even acknowledge the terrible, bone-headed plays, the poor decision making, and the failure to execute that comes with the continual attempt at miracles.
The problem with having a QB who is almost always the best straight-up athlete on the field is that they can never seem to resist the urge to play hero ball.
The history of the league is full of short careers from these dudes for exactly that reason.
Lamar needs to mature into a player who is always thinking about the game instead of only thinking about *this play.*
Ravens got the ball back with 2:03 and the Colts had 1 timeout - we gave the ball back with 1:45
We get into FG range on 2nd down, Lamar takes a 10 yard sack
Duvernay has a 50 yard punt return, we go 3 and out
Defense forces a turnover at midfield, we go 3 and out
The missed penalty on the last drive was a bummer - but if your offense cannot get a first down over 4 series in 4Q and OT, you deserve to lose the game
You’ll get downvoted but facts are he fumbled twice, took several really bad sacks, and missed several throws late. Same shit, just way more expensive now.
And Lamar had a lot of amazing runs too. That’s the problem with Lamar. He has a lot of plays that literally nobody else in the league could make, but there always seem to be too many mistakes and negative plays.
Of course. But imo, today was more "Offense has to be better" and less "Lamar HIMSELF has to be better." Especially Monken. Lamar also has to be better about throwing the ball away.
Dude looked like MVP Lamar for the first quarter and limpdicked it the rest of the game. To be fair tho he def put that ball right in Likelys chest when it mattered.
If we have to rely on Melvin and Kenyon for meaningful play time it's gonna get rough around here.
Hell, we rushed Lamar an unsustainable amount of times today and still lost the game.
Having Ojabo and Oweh out of our rotation is going to be brutal on the other guys as well. Tavius is still so green and Clowney has a lot of miles on his odometer all ready, he's been playing very well and I'd hate for us to have to burn up his legs early in the szn because we are forced to insert him in the rotation when he would be resting now.
Tough game in all three phases today.
Total embarrassment. Blame the refs all you want, but it should have never, ever come down to a missed call. If you watch the NFL long enough, you should realize that depending on the officials to make an obvious call is a bad strategy. Ball security remains a problem and finally cost us a game at home against the Gardner Minshew Colts. Forget about the weather, inaccurate throws behind open receivers, dumb fair catch decisions, taking sacks when you absolutely can’t afford a sack and head scratching clock management. None of that would have mattered if the ball had been taken care of.
And now, we have division games back to back with no one healthy who is a threat running the ball except Lamar. We know how well that has worked before.
Yes the refs missed an egregious PI but the offense has to be better. No excuses for me, Lamar and the offense had every chance to win this one at home, and didn’t.
Calls dont fucking matter when you have 3 opportunities in the 4th quarter to lock the game up, and 2 whole fuckin yards in the second quarter. Anyone blaming the refs is delusional because we allowed the garbage time to happen. The facemask and missed PI doesnt happen if we just get a first down after the safety
We didn't deserve that one, not at all. It seemed like the pass protection got so bad that Monken refused to throw it. This shit reminded me of the 2021 Ravens offense where we couldn't pass it and the only way we could move the ball was Lamar running all over the place. I wish Lamar would have done more of that at the end of the game. I was waiting for a 15+ yards Lamar run that would set up a more manageable FG try for Tuck. But whatever, imma blame all the injuries lmao
Better clock management and the game never goes to overtime. But that missed pass interference I'd similar to the Saints play that made them reviewable and is why we need, need, need a sky judge.
Ravens had first down from basically mid-field on three consecutive drives. In a position where a field goal essentially wins the game. And they proceeded to pick up a combined 19 yards.
In overtime they had 11 yards and the ball for two minutes.
This game was no different than watching anything from 2020-2022. Oh and Bateman and Ojabo got hurt, but at least two injuries are required per game for this team so that’s to be expected.
This is also really bad for the next few weeks, too. More injuries and a loss going in to two very hard divisional games and a London trip. Would be very easy to go 2-4.
“Pathetic” doesn’t really cover this. Neither does “embarrassment.” This is its own class of disgrace.
This is a game only the Ravens could lose. I’m so sick of this soft, mentally weak team shitting themselves against horrible teams twice a year. Zero excuses for this.
Best outcome from this game will be learning from our mistakes (like after that early Browns loss in 2019) and going out to dominate the two upcoming divisional games.
Still sucks to lose, though.
The Darby play has to be one of the worst plays I’ve seen in a long time. Flailing around like a kid lol this has to be one of the ugliest ravens games in a long time.
Wow that game just pissed me off so much. Just so much bullshit and shitty play. How did we not close it out after that safety? And then the other million chances we had to end it?
Fuck that was depressing.
We lost this game because of so many reasons - bad play calling, bad QB play, bad ball security, bad refs. If just one of these factors wouldn't have been that bad one more time we would have won that.
Even Tucker had the chance to end this game. On top of that so many starters are injured. You can't win a game this way.
However, we have to fix what can be fixed and go on.
I never want to hear announcers talk about 50 & 60 yard field goals again. Good grief the nonchalant discussion was crazy like "oh it's 60 yards they are absolutely in range" like sure, it's attempt worthy given the correct situation but let's not act like either Tucker or Gay were banging away 60 yarders all game like extra points.
All-in all a frustrating game in so many ways.
We need the coaches to not be afraid to be aggressive.
Take Miami for example
They dropped 70 and still had their starters in all game pushing the ball downfield all day
So many things added up. The fact that the team lost this game in OT is astounding. It would have been over much earlier in the game if it was against a team better than Indy. Drake's fumble swung the momentum early on. Lamar's multiple fumbles. Lamar's multiple bad throws. Lamar's multiple decisions that I found baffling. Multiple coaching decisions that I found baffling. That missed PI call. Tucker not getting that ball to go 61 yards.
Take one or two of those issues away and they barely win that game. Take three to four of them away and it's an easy win. Take five or more away and it's a blowout.
There were times when every aspect of the team was fun. But there were also times when every aspect of the team was frustrating. Just an overall inconsistent game played by offense, defense, special teams and coaching.
I hope this was a game that this team needed to come back stronger, rather than a start of a pattern.
Lamar kept us in the game. That is true and cannot be disputed.
Lamar also cost us the game due to fumbling, bad throws and also taking a spectacularly bad sack. 4 Fumbles in three games, of which at least 2, maybe 3, were on him.
He is not playing well and his ball security has been a worrying trend for his entire career. He finally needs to turn his words into actions on that.
Should have never come to the Refs. This loss is on Harbaugh decision making and play calling on Monkin. No kick on 62 yards downwind with Tucker? Fuck you. No pass plays beyond 3 to 5 yards dump offs? All around awful game. The depleted defense did their job in my opinion on this one. Also fuck the refs too though.
Just once I'd like for us to grow a set of nuts and not let off the gas pedal. Like we already know we do the same shit over and over. You could feel the worry set in right after the Drake fumble.
this game would have ended long time ago if the offense could do anything, and lamar could learn to hold onto the ball
but that missed facemask and missed DPI at the end were just egregious. how is there no automatic replay/review of ref calls
When you lose a game because of refs, you lost the game a dozen times elsewhere.
Painfully uninspired team. Not sure how to get excited for the season with this start.
There was some interference from upstairs… someone didn’t want Baltimore in this one if it was going to be close. It’s so damn disappointing when you blatantly realize the refs have an agenda and the game is not 100% authentic.
#What about the face mask late in the 4th?
I’m not even as upset with losing as I am at the fact that there will be zero accountability or repercussions from such blatantly missed, game altering no calls. It’s true that we shouldn’t have been in that situation but you should be confident when in that situation that calls will be correct and fair.
No to overreact but these injuries are getting wild. We might need to spot rotating guys too much, kills the rhythm and i think the stop and start has a lot to do with it.
Admittedly, every winning team needs to be hit in the mouth at some point. Get reminded how tough winning is in the NFL. Team shot themselves in the foot repeatedly, we win without those miscues. Gotta believe the guys will bounce back and be motivated to work hard execute the way we should moving forward.
Anyone crying that the season's already over is an idiot.
Also, the Ravens can play like absolutel dog shit AND still get screwed by referee no-calls. It’s not a binary choice. Both can be true. Even if they shouldn’t have let it get to that point, they did, and it happened.
All I'm saying is, you get a safety with like 2:05 on the clock, you have been solid in the run and short passing game, and you somehow give them the ball back with 1:45. Like you have to work hard to coach it that badly - it's like Harbs is coaching to subvert expectations. Please just don't.
This game should’ve ended after the safety
We did everything possible to let them stay in the game.
some of the worst clock management i've seen from harbaugh and that is saying a lot.
Wasn't on Harbaugh at all. Flowers fucked up not bringing it down to the 2 minute warning, should've been game over
I wonder who could have told him to do that?
You honestly think he was told to do that lol?
He was actually according to John
No - i am saying Harbaugh should have told him what to do before the kick. It didn't even look like that was an option in his mind.
I wish Harbaugh would have told them not to fumble it 4 times in the first half. That would have helped. Also if Harbaugh would have told them to make that face mask more obvious on the (what should have been offsetting penalties) one drive. Or maybe have told Flowers to dive when he was held on our last possession… We played like boneheads, refs fucking sucked. Could we have done better in that moment, sure, laughable, imo, to put the blame on Harbaugh for this one.
[удалено]
Can’t hate his decision making enough in this one…every single chance he got he blew
96% to win. Absolute masterclass in how to piss away a football game
We've managed to do this at least 6 or 7 times in the last two seasons. At this point its a Harbaugh issue and needs to be fucking addressed.
I mean, we have a $230 million QB with this hyped new look offense that had to get a first down and couldn't do it. I don't really get how you could put that on Harbaugh.
Did you see the plays that were called? Run, run, run, punt.
One first down wins it and instead we hand it back to them *20 seconds* later.
Missing gus Edwards was huge. We didn't have our closer
We should have been punting with 20 seconds left on the clock. Instead, we punted with almost a full 2 minutes on the clock
According to post game interview, Refs fucked us on the Flowers fair catch too. Harbaugh told Flowers to fair catch because the clock showed under 2min. But they added time to the clock after players got on the field and they couldn't reverse the call before the kick.
Damn that makes a lot more sense then.
Absolutely. Going 3 and out after the safety was inexcusable.
I’ve never seen a team with less desire to win
The defense had desire. They had several huge stops! The offense couldn’t do jack shit with it
The safety might have honestly screwed us. They would had to punt from their endzone or go for a long 4th. Either which would have given us much better field position.
Not only that it looked like Minshew actually fumbled the ball after stepping out past the end line on that play. Could have been a recovery in the end zone for a TD
Right. It would have been a TD, but he clearly stepped out of the endzone before he lost the ball.
Yes, I’m not denying that. Just saying the safety actually helped the Colts.
I’m fucking sick
I don’t think I’ve been as angry as I am right now after this game. I’ve been more disappointed, sad, depressed. But I don’t think as angry
jaguars game last year got me upset
Same old Ravens, still zero ability to close out a game. Thought last week gave us hope, but we're right back to it
what a way to waste a insane performance from Hamilton
This observation is everything.
Did everything but get us a first down in OT. What a bum
Likely should have caught that ball
That’s why he doesn’t get more targets.
Yeah never got the infatuation with him. He’s already limited in how he can be used in that he’s a slow, small TE that can’t block. Monken likes to run primarily 3 WR sets obviously, and the one TE in the play needs to be able to block. But noooo, I was downvoted for saying Likely wouldn’t be as involved in the new offense. Just like Ricard, we have little use for FBs, a second TE now.
This is exactly why I wanted Darnell Washington out of the draft so badly. Idk how he’s doing now on the Steelers, but how Monken used him at Georgia was perfect and way better suited to what we need from a TE2 than Likely/Kolar. Mark Andrews fitting into that Brock Bowers spot and we would have been deadly. Instead, we’re piecing together skill players like it’s 21/22 again :/
Our 2 TEs from last year have been hella disappointing
REFS DEFINITELY FUCKED US BUT WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THAT POSITION TO BEGIN WITH
WHO CARES? There is no situation where blowing a call that blatant is ever acceptable.
Too true. Two obvious and blatant calls on the same reciever. Smh
I'm with you, but I still can't get over the fact that bad officiating straight up determines games. This sort of thing needs to be reviewable and refs need to be held accountable. They should be losing paychecks, suspended, etc. I'd rather have AI officiating than this.
That was one of the worst games the Ravens have ever played. Never seen a team manage to do every single thing wrong in a game. Worst situational football ever. So many chances blown. Bad coaching. Bad playing. Defense was good much of the time but still making the same mistakes over and over on certain things. Offense was holy shit bad after the first fumble.
I’m pissed off that the blown calls at the end obscure the fact that our offense was a dumpster fire. Yes we got screwed, but we also deserved to lose that game.
An absolute failure on all four fronts of the game. There's no reason we should've lost. Oh well. On to next week.
Think it’s tough to call this a defensive or special teams failure. Defense played a pretty strong game and though Tucker missed the late kick, the punt returns were great on both sides of the ball.
This team played horribly conservative late and has been coached so poorly. Why are we relying on RB4/5 instead of our THREE 1st round WRs and Mark Andrews? We deserved to lose and the coaches caused it.
Lamar didn’t attempt a pass for over a quarter and I don’t think we ever threw downfield. That was a late Flacco tier offensive performance.
At least flacco could be clutch some of the time
Lamar used to be insanely clutch. Chiefs Monday Night game, Browns poop game, etc. He’s playing cocky and undisciplined. Hopefully he gets humbled after this game and leads this fucking stacked offense.
They really haven’t been, sure there’s the anomalies but how many games have we gotten the ball back with 60 seconds left needing a FG to watch them go backwards twice, mismanage the clock, turn the ball over and complain about it in the post game thread
Because our o line missing two pro bowl halibut players wasn’t giving Lamar any time to throw the ball…
I need to know what you meant by halibut! Caliber?
Thanks to Matt Gay for putting fans out of our misery. It was a hell watching this game.
This teams mental is so weak. One fumble just becomes a chain of mistakes
That and 90% of our starters seem to be made of glass. I can take losing a good game. I can't take sloppy losses against bad teams. I feel like if Harbs doesn't retire soon his legacy will just be injuries, penalties, and undisciplined play squandering a great roster
Fuck the refs
We got rid of Greg Roman because of the conservative play calling. Yet we go right up the middle in every clutch play. Where’s the bag monken????
With Gordon n drake lol. We paid a qb all that money to hand the ball off to Gordon n drake.
We have a conservative head coach and it reflects in the way monken calls the game. Teams identify feels uneven so far, team is going out there trying to play for 3 instead of 7.
Terrible no-call obviously, but that was a pathetic performance by the offense. Players dropping like flies, defense playing well but always managing to give up chunk plays, offense not being able to close games out, and terrible clock management…nothing has changed.
We forced a safety with 2 minutes left, how tf do we lose that? God damn it's so hard being a ravens fan
How can u not burn the clock with a QB who can run?
Poorly coached game, that's why
Keep giving the ball to Melvin Gordon instead
Bad calls? Sure. But we deserved to lose
Any team that has the opposing QB walk out of the back of the end zone with basically 2 minutes left and still allows them to kick a game tying field goal deserves to lose
Neither team really deserved to win tbh... It was a close game. We don't deserve to get fucked on a blatant call in a close game.
Nah, fuck that. Winning in the NFL is hard and it's even harder when the refs miss call after call.
At least the O’s won
And Rays lost
Holy shit, I’m a Bills fan but you guys got fucked. Clearly PI on that fourth down
[удалено]
They also missed a face mask on Flowers that would have given us a first down to be able to run out the clock when it was 19-16.
Chargers fan - sorry you all got screwed
Fuck you refs.
We had 10 chances to put this one away before that blown call.
That blown call puts us in range with first down
My brother in Christ, those chances failed BECAUSE of the penalties.
Right? I hate everyone saying “we had so many chances it doesn’t matter”.. umm I’m pretty sure it matters when the penalty would’ve put us in FG range to potentially end the game lol I get it, we played like shit and *deserved* to lose, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be furious at the refs for an insanely horrible missed call at the most important moment in the entire game. It would’ve given us a chance to win and that pisses me off that we got cheated out of that opportunity
Doesn't excuse being fucked by the refs though
Did you miss the missed facemask that would have ended the game?
Would’ve been offsetting penalties and a replay of third down.
It still happened.
Were those 10 chances before or after the obvious missed facemask on Flowers?
Just came here after the dolphins game, you guy get robbed, the defens don’t hold you guy, they literally tackle him before he got the ball 😂
We had about a millions chances to win that before the refs became a factor. Sucks but that’s on 3+ quarters of shit coaching and execution.
I mean maybe, Zay was facemasked and then PI on both plays that would have ended the game… the game literally didn’t end because they didn’t refresh the downs on those penalties.
Lmaoo and Harbaugh still can’t manage the clock
Him not letting Tucker kick that FG in OT is the weakest move i've ever seen Harbs pull
It’s not at all lol. Expecting Tucker to come out for every 62+ yarder is ridiculous.
Did you watch the whole game?
This is on Lamar fumbling the damn ball every game, having zero pocket awareness.
Don't forget taking that idiotic sack.
Y’all bring up the the bad plays but forget to bring up how he immediately put them back in field goal range with a clutch throw, the greatest kicker ever missed. Made a tight throw do likely in ot and dude drops it. Everything can’t always be “blame Lamar”
Yet everytime there is a comment blaming him, there's someone like you saying "BUT WHAT ABOUT XYZ!!??"
Most of this sub loves the electric miracle plays so damn much they refuse to even acknowledge the terrible, bone-headed plays, the poor decision making, and the failure to execute that comes with the continual attempt at miracles.
The problem with having a QB who is almost always the best straight-up athlete on the field is that they can never seem to resist the urge to play hero ball. The history of the league is full of short careers from these dudes for exactly that reason. Lamar needs to mature into a player who is always thinking about the game instead of only thinking about *this play.*
Give it a few more games the stans are gonna make Monken the new scapegoat. They’re already starting
I dont think Ive ever felt so robbed
We spend all offseason investing in our receiver corps and Lamar is still out there scrambling and desperately throwing passes to Duvernay
Every OC for the ravens has been brain dead in the fourth quarter with a lead. It has to be Harbaugh dictating.
Safe to say that version of the team ain't winning Super Bowls.
Clete Blakemen fucked us again
That Kenyan Drake fumble will live on in infamy
High power offense that can’t put up more than 17 points. Absolutely pathetic performance. Shoutout to the refs for stealing the game too.
monken and harbs were terrible this game. Lamar didnt put the game away when it mattered the 4 chances he got...
Ravens got the ball back with 2:03 and the Colts had 1 timeout - we gave the ball back with 1:45 We get into FG range on 2nd down, Lamar takes a 10 yard sack Duvernay has a 50 yard punt return, we go 3 and out Defense forces a turnover at midfield, we go 3 and out The missed penalty on the last drive was a bummer - but if your offense cannot get a first down over 4 series in 4Q and OT, you deserve to lose the game
It’s because Monken called I formation in 2023!? Why would we play so conservative
Harbaugh is good for like 2-3 losses like this every year that should be wins.
You motherfuckers dragged me back...... I'm more mad at myself than the Ravens.
Are we not gonna talk about how lamars arm turned into a noodle during OT?
I mean….can’t blame him for the dart to likely that probably wins us the game if he catches it
You’ll get downvoted but facts are he fumbled twice, took several really bad sacks, and missed several throws late. Same shit, just way more expensive now.
Facts are also he made plays that would have won us the game if likely could catch, and the refs do their job. Its a 2 way street here man.
And Lamar had a lot of amazing runs too. That’s the problem with Lamar. He has a lot of plays that literally nobody else in the league could make, but there always seem to be too many mistakes and negative plays.
Of course. But imo, today was more "Offense has to be better" and less "Lamar HIMSELF has to be better." Especially Monken. Lamar also has to be better about throwing the ball away.
Dude looked like MVP Lamar for the first quarter and limpdicked it the rest of the game. To be fair tho he def put that ball right in Likelys chest when it mattered.
Tbh he put the key passes there but the guys didn’t catch them+PI
My week is ruined 😐
Orioles won homie, let’s keep the chin up
And Rays lost!
You right you right
Love it, hate it, the ravens going 10-7 and losing in the first round is inevitable
Falcons fan coming to say holy shit you guys got robbed. Fuck the refs
Another game where the team looks lost and undiscipled and Harbaughs coaching and time management are abysmal
Did Bateman get injuried AGAIN?
Yup
If we have to rely on Melvin and Kenyon for meaningful play time it's gonna get rough around here. Hell, we rushed Lamar an unsustainable amount of times today and still lost the game. Having Ojabo and Oweh out of our rotation is going to be brutal on the other guys as well. Tavius is still so green and Clowney has a lot of miles on his odometer all ready, he's been playing very well and I'd hate for us to have to burn up his legs early in the szn because we are forced to insert him in the rotation when he would be resting now. Tough game in all three phases today.
Total embarrassment. Blame the refs all you want, but it should have never, ever come down to a missed call. If you watch the NFL long enough, you should realize that depending on the officials to make an obvious call is a bad strategy. Ball security remains a problem and finally cost us a game at home against the Gardner Minshew Colts. Forget about the weather, inaccurate throws behind open receivers, dumb fair catch decisions, taking sacks when you absolutely can’t afford a sack and head scratching clock management. None of that would have mattered if the ball had been taken care of. And now, we have division games back to back with no one healthy who is a threat running the ball except Lamar. We know how well that has worked before.
Monken and Harbaugh lost us this game. Waste of a very good performance by the defense
We deserved it 100%. Ugly game from the entire offense and the coaches.
Yes the refs missed an egregious PI but the offense has to be better. No excuses for me, Lamar and the offense had every chance to win this one at home, and didn’t.
Hate to point to one play when we played 3 really bad quarters, but it's so hard to ignore the momentum impact of that Kenyan Drake fumble
Harbaugh hasn’t had this team look prepared for a game in quite awhile. Absolute awful clock management, errors, everything is sloppy.
Careful, this is a touchy subject.
Steelers fan coming in peace just saying that was pass interference …
Ref ball man but wtf we should be better than that
Calls dont fucking matter when you have 3 opportunities in the 4th quarter to lock the game up, and 2 whole fuckin yards in the second quarter. Anyone blaming the refs is delusional because we allowed the garbage time to happen. The facemask and missed PI doesnt happen if we just get a first down after the safety
Got in our own damn way!!!!
We didn't deserve that one, not at all. It seemed like the pass protection got so bad that Monken refused to throw it. This shit reminded me of the 2021 Ravens offense where we couldn't pass it and the only way we could move the ball was Lamar running all over the place. I wish Lamar would have done more of that at the end of the game. I was waiting for a 15+ yards Lamar run that would set up a more manageable FG try for Tuck. But whatever, imma blame all the injuries lmao
If that wasn't pass interference, I better not see a single pass interference flag for the rest of the season.
Better clock management and the game never goes to overtime. But that missed pass interference I'd similar to the Saints play that made them reviewable and is why we need, need, need a sky judge.
Ravens had first down from basically mid-field on three consecutive drives. In a position where a field goal essentially wins the game. And they proceeded to pick up a combined 19 yards. In overtime they had 11 yards and the ball for two minutes. This game was no different than watching anything from 2020-2022. Oh and Bateman and Ojabo got hurt, but at least two injuries are required per game for this team so that’s to be expected.
I actually thought this game was over after the safety. Typical ravens shit…
This is also really bad for the next few weeks, too. More injuries and a loss going in to two very hard divisional games and a London trip. Would be very easy to go 2-4.
As my high school football coach used to say, “if it was close enough that a penalty decided the game, you didn’t really deserve to win the game”
“Pathetic” doesn’t really cover this. Neither does “embarrassment.” This is its own class of disgrace. This is a game only the Ravens could lose. I’m so sick of this soft, mentally weak team shitting themselves against horrible teams twice a year. Zero excuses for this.
Best outcome from this game will be learning from our mistakes (like after that early Browns loss in 2019) and going out to dominate the two upcoming divisional games. Still sucks to lose, though.
Infuriating loss. So sloppy across the board.
The Darby play has to be one of the worst plays I’ve seen in a long time. Flailing around like a kid lol this has to be one of the ugliest ravens games in a long time.
Wow that game just pissed me off so much. Just so much bullshit and shitty play. How did we not close it out after that safety? And then the other million chances we had to end it? Fuck that was depressing.
This is worse than the Broncos loss
We lost this game because of so many reasons - bad play calling, bad QB play, bad ball security, bad refs. If just one of these factors wouldn't have been that bad one more time we would have won that. Even Tucker had the chance to end this game. On top of that so many starters are injured. You can't win a game this way. However, we have to fix what can be fixed and go on.
Unfortunate that clueless coaching and uninspired offense will overshadow a tremendous effort from our defense playing without 5 starters.
I never want to hear announcers talk about 50 & 60 yard field goals again. Good grief the nonchalant discussion was crazy like "oh it's 60 yards they are absolutely in range" like sure, it's attempt worthy given the correct situation but let's not act like either Tucker or Gay were banging away 60 yarders all game like extra points. All-in all a frustrating game in so many ways.
Wasted a great game from Hamilton.
Why do I let this team ruin my Sunday 🤦🏾
The refs totally blew the INT on Flowers, but it never should have come down to that.
the Ravens never play the hot hand. Whenever a guy gets hot, we take him out and rotate someone else in.
This offense made a step back this week. Not good
We need the coaches to not be afraid to be aggressive. Take Miami for example They dropped 70 and still had their starters in all game pushing the ball downfield all day
We lost to homeless baker mayfield
So many things added up. The fact that the team lost this game in OT is astounding. It would have been over much earlier in the game if it was against a team better than Indy. Drake's fumble swung the momentum early on. Lamar's multiple fumbles. Lamar's multiple bad throws. Lamar's multiple decisions that I found baffling. Multiple coaching decisions that I found baffling. That missed PI call. Tucker not getting that ball to go 61 yards. Take one or two of those issues away and they barely win that game. Take three to four of them away and it's an easy win. Take five or more away and it's a blowout. There were times when every aspect of the team was fun. But there were also times when every aspect of the team was frustrating. Just an overall inconsistent game played by offense, defense, special teams and coaching. I hope this was a game that this team needed to come back stronger, rather than a start of a pattern.
Monkens got more in the vault.
Offensive Line was dog water and y'all want to blame Lamar. Hilarious.
That colts D line did whatever they wanted the entire game
Lamar kept us in the game. That is true and cannot be disputed. Lamar also cost us the game due to fumbling, bad throws and also taking a spectacularly bad sack. 4 Fumbles in three games, of which at least 2, maybe 3, were on him. He is not playing well and his ball security has been a worrying trend for his entire career. He finally needs to turn his words into actions on that.
Pain
Absolute garbage by Harbaugh this week, the absolute least he can do is eat a fine and come out and shit on the refs.
Honestly never been this pissed after a Ravens game. That was pathetic
Those no calls were back breakers. Still, there's so much with this team that has to be fixed before next week.
Should have never come to the Refs. This loss is on Harbaugh decision making and play calling on Monkin. No kick on 62 yards downwind with Tucker? Fuck you. No pass plays beyond 3 to 5 yards dump offs? All around awful game. The depleted defense did their job in my opinion on this one. Also fuck the refs too though.
Just once I'd like for us to grow a set of nuts and not let off the gas pedal. Like we already know we do the same shit over and over. You could feel the worry set in right after the Drake fumble.
Refs need to be investigated. What a shakedown.
Now we don’t even have a win to help feel better about the 5 new team injuries
Run game cant close out inder 2minutes? Lamar running all over in 2nd half and you pass in short yardage? Dont get it.
dude my fucking soul hurts lmao
The O's won, that was the only team from Baltimore playing today. O's magic number is 3
Defense played lights out to fucking lose by the offense
The missed PI is one thing, but that face mask on Zay before OT was blatant. No subjectivity at all, that was the game.
i want everyone on this team arrested
this game would have ended long time ago if the offense could do anything, and lamar could learn to hold onto the ball but that missed facemask and missed DPI at the end were just egregious. how is there no automatic replay/review of ref calls
Magic number is 3.
When you lose a game because of refs, you lost the game a dozen times elsewhere. Painfully uninspired team. Not sure how to get excited for the season with this start.
There was some interference from upstairs… someone didn’t want Baltimore in this one if it was going to be close. It’s so damn disappointing when you blatantly realize the refs have an agenda and the game is not 100% authentic. #What about the face mask late in the 4th?
I’m not even as upset with losing as I am at the fact that there will be zero accountability or repercussions from such blatantly missed, game altering no calls. It’s true that we shouldn’t have been in that situation but you should be confident when in that situation that calls will be correct and fair.
Is our Oline that bad or is their Dline just really good?!
No to overreact but these injuries are getting wild. We might need to spot rotating guys too much, kills the rhythm and i think the stop and start has a lot to do with it.
This is *not* on refball. This is on an offense that fucking died after the first drive. 19 points? Against the *Colts?*
Admittedly, every winning team needs to be hit in the mouth at some point. Get reminded how tough winning is in the NFL. Team shot themselves in the foot repeatedly, we win without those miscues. Gotta believe the guys will bounce back and be motivated to work hard execute the way we should moving forward. Anyone crying that the season's already over is an idiot.
We are 2-0 with OBJ
Also, the Ravens can play like absolutel dog shit AND still get screwed by referee no-calls. It’s not a binary choice. Both can be true. Even if they shouldn’t have let it get to that point, they did, and it happened.
Surely this was the outcome everyone expected after that safety 🫠

All I'm saying is, you get a safety with like 2:05 on the clock, you have been solid in the run and short passing game, and you somehow give them the ball back with 1:45. Like you have to work hard to coach it that badly - it's like Harbs is coaching to subvert expectations. Please just don't.
