Let’s not forget not running as much time off the clock before the half as they could which gave the bills an extra field goal

I said it before and I'll say it again. This is a low IQ football team. Bad play calling at crucial moments. Players not understanding the moment. And this defense has no idea what pressure is. All offseason, I heard how things were going to be different but they look very much the same to me.

the team just doesn’t play smart clean football and the coach is an idiot

we got the kicker missing a extra point which gave them the win instead of the tie at the end of the game

he also kicked the ball out of bounds on a drive and gave them ball at the 40

Trent Simpson touching the endzone and getting a touchback when we could’ve had them starting the drive from the 1

Henry fumbling

taking the ball out of Lamars hands at the end of the game

not going for it on 4th down knowing damn well the defense wasn’t gonna stop them

defense not making any plays at all against good teams as usual

yet another blown double digit 4th quarter lead under Harbaugh

I say it every year but shyt not gonna change until they get rid of Harbaugh

If there was ever a team that just needed Bill Bellichick to get them over the hump a few years ago.

that Justise Hill fumble killed a lot of momentum but shyt that shouldnt lose you the game.

Just inexcusable from Orr.

Even still...all those dropped ints....Allen having all day to throw...

I just dont know how you can have confidence this team can end a game against Mahomes, Allen, etc late.

How do you not go for the kill with Lamar? How do you not have Lamar win the game for you?

Even with Henry fumble. Keep him out there on passing downs as well just to keep them honest.

Well at least Mark Andrews can rest well at night. That 2 point conversion wouldnt have mattered cause Orr wasnt stopping Allen last year.

Hate to say it, but 2023 was the year. That was an elite defense. No Henry level backs, but not figuring how to run the ball against the Chiefs cost them.

I’ve been saying since January of 2011 that this guy needs to go. There’s just no justification for his teams losing what seems like 3-5 games in this manner every season. Any other coach wins 3-5 championships with the rosters he’s had since 2008.

the first play on our next drive after the Henry fumble should’ve been play action or a read option

didn’t make sense to basically run the same running play with Henry against a stacked box

and then the sweep on 2nd down with Flowers was awful

a 1st down ends the game and you take the ball out of Lamars hands on 1st and 2nd down

shyt made zero sense

then not going for it on 4th & 3 smh

the play calling and decision making from these coaches in close games is always ass

You’re the only guy on here who has been calling for his job nearly as long as I have. Same mistakes every single year. You could give him the 2006 defense with this offense and he’d manage to win just 10-11 games and lose in the divisional round. There are very few coaches I’ve seen who so clearly weigh down a roster good enough to go all the way and keep them from doing it but here he is every September being allowed to tank another season before it even starts.

people who aren’t Ravens fans don’t understand he’s been getting carried by great rosters his whole career and he consistently underachieves with the rosters he’s given

So many people try to tell me hes a good coach :heh:

I don’t even waste my time going back and forth with them anymore

Hoping history doesnt repeat itself. Where a heartbreaking loss leads to letting their guard down in week 2. Bengals always struggle with the Browns, but they played Burrow tough. And Flacco should feel confident he can throw against this defense.

Still cant believe they didnt run the ball and panicked vs a non explosive Chiefs team in 2023.



Still cant believe with the game on the line vs the Bills last playoffs....the play call is for Andrews. Likely is cooking and instead he doesnt intervene to say get Likely the ball to tie.

However, this might be the worst regular season loss of the Harbaugh (Lamar) era.

He basically tapped out and feared Lamar couldnt outduel Allen late. I mean the narrative is gonna be fukked for a good min cause Harbs just hoped the Bills would mess up.

As soon as he reacted the way that he did to their Sunday night home loss to Pittsburgh in 2010 (especially after they blew that 20-10 fourth quarter lead vs the pats which on its own would’ve given them the #1 seed) I knew he had to go. By the time the clock hit 0:00 on the divisional round loss in Pittsburgh which only even happened because of his, Cam’s, & Mattison’s incompetence which cost them the aforementioned 1 seed which would’ve set them up for a game against the jets it hit me that I’d basically be hate watching this team until he’s fired. The fact that he’s still here 15 years later when he’s got at least 2-3 losses that are entirely on him every year is genuinely hard to process. By this point I think that I’d be happier to see the headline of his firing more than I would to see them win it all.

Feel bad for Lamar.
It reminds me of watching Aaron Rodgers have to waste his prime with McCarthy and Capers sinking the Packers every year. Basically 3 drives in a row with the game on the line his coaches took the ball out of his hands and trusted a defense that had been awful the entire game.
