Playoff Football! Ravens -v- Chargers Round 2

Ok, so they run for an average of 230 yards per game for 8 games and suddenly are completely clueless about their blocking schemes? That's really the hill you want to stick your flag on? It's not that the players are simply playing poorly and losing their physical matchups? It's not that they fumble nearly 50% of their opening snaps?

With any victory or loss, it's never simply 1 thing. Everyone (including the coaches and Harbaugh) are going to take a bite of this crap sandwich, but as you've mentioned countless times across game posts, you get insanely emotional watching the game, and that's not going to give you a clear head.

 

Mate, you cant say on one hand that you disagree with us in a previous post and then say "yup i agree with that" after mentioning the other responsibilities he has and furthermore go on to absolve John from OC oversight. The OC draws the gameplan but what does john do? just pass it off? no, apply this to a business, ANY business, he needs to know his shit so he can essentially be a check and balance on the scheme and approach but he has never been culpable by the media or the fans when it comes to this. Bill over in NE is great because he literally understands the game and makes sure the schemes match up well, john cheer leads like a pro- ill give you that but the mere mention of other factors in just the above post show that there is and should be far more to HC than what he demonstrates.

So no, I am not COMPLETELY wrong, hell i dont think im even partially wrong to the tune of say more than 20% because NFL players are inconsistent by nature, you have to coach and scheme for that, and its like chess before the play, these guys arent good our O line is getting wrecked not because we forgot to maintain good pad level and drive under the pads but because they literally dont understand what they are seeing because they were NOT COACHED for what they may see.

I wont say its all John but he is a big problem. Again, no different in large parts to Tomlin

It isnt one thing and yeh my flag in fine on this hill. I cant think of another team that has schemed our O like the chargers have and i explained how they are doing it. They didnt forget how to block, they dont know who to block

Damn Harbaugh for calling that sack on Jackson!

 

Damn Harbaugh for making Hurst drop that 3rd down pass!

 

We can do this after we lose tbh.

I am not trying to come across like a cunt.

As for this game, we need a fucking big TO

Dude, I'm saying over the course of a decade Harbaugh has had bad decisions. Are you seriously saying I can't say that? We have to expect perfection now or everyone gets canned? Come on man. This season may end like crap, but the run was entertaining.

 

remember that santonio holmes gut punch a few years ago?

i feel like we are setting ourselves for some serious gut wrenching pain

 

that is a clear touchdown, that should be reviewable i would imagine

 

Crabtree with the TD catch (the review should give it to him, he caught it on the goalline)

 

It probably was good to not pull Jackson for Flacco. Not that I feel that the odds are even remotely in our favor, but once Jackson's butt unpuckered and he started playing the playoff game like any other game, the offense looked better (in the passing game). That's as important a lesson as any. Next time he makes the playoffs, he won't be so overwhelmed.

 

The onside recovery rate is fucking 12 percent and tucker has not had one recovered...ever. like god damn that play.

i dont even know how you manage that anymore unless they royally fuck up

 

156 yards passing in the 4th quarter, when down 20. I guess Lamar can throw when down, only if the OC and HC actually draw up some decent offensive plays BEFORE the game is out of reach

 

I guess you have to onside here, either you stop them in 3 or you lose anyway i would imagine

This is where what I was discussing at the half comes into play.

If Tucker hits that field goal and the Ravens defense held the Chargers to 7 points...

We'd be at LAC 19 - BAL 20

 

Well this is a huge gamble, we need to stop them in 3 or we are fucked

Still have a shot, but the D has to get a quick 3 and out

 

I feel a rollout PA pass by rivers on third down to get 1st and make me trash my keyboard
