I have no faith in this coaching staff to get players in position to make plays or stop anybody defensively.
I have no faith in this pass rush.
I have no faith in the defense to create turnovers.
I have no faith in Henry to hold onto the football.
I have no faith that Keaton Mitchell will be active.
I have no faith that Faalele or Rosengarten will create running lanes or protect Lamar.
I have no faith that Lamar will throw the ball away to prevent negative plays.

I'm 70% certain this team will be 2-4 going into the bye week. I'm fairly certain Orr will be fired before the end of the season.

As with last season. I think the defense will get better.
However, once again Orr is putting the Ravens in a situation where they have to go on the road (cold ass Buffalo)
This is the third time in the Harbaugh era that they’ve let a great DC who should’ve been their head coach walk and the defense immediately fell off a cliff. It’s like clockwork.
The defense isn't the only problem. Our oline is terrible and I can't believe they thought it was acceptable to go into the season with this group. I'm not going to blame Orr cause he wasn't on the field missing tackles and blowing coverages. This team really needs to look in the mirror and figure out if winning is the most important thing to them cause they continue to make the same mistakes that lead to them losing games they should easily win.

Eh...Orr had Mike Green dropping into coverage against LaPorta on 3rd down. Ravens havent given up 95 yard td drives since 2001...they gave up 2. He's suspect right now.

However, I overlooked how different things are after a RB rushes for almost 2000 yards. Its even more damning for Harbaugh to not use Keaton and for the GM to not think about improving the interior. I'd like to think things will get better when Ricard/Likely come back though.

The defensive stuff is absolutely on Orr. This is the same core that finished #1 across the board just 2 years ago and they’re worst in the league at everything now. He calls a horrible game. As for the offense, I’m ready to fire Decosta same as Orr and Harbaugh. Through Lamar’s first 6 seasons no team spent less money at receiver and now he’s built an offensive line every bit as bad as the ones Joe Burrow, Andrew Luck, or David Carr played behind. Anyone besides Lamar or Big Ben takes 50+ sacks a year with those 5 blocking for him.

I dunno but I didn't like what I saw from Lamar in terms of his scrambling ability, like he's starting to lose a step. He had opportunities to make plays with his legs that I've seen him make time and time again in previous years but he was just a step too slow from breaking it. Still very elusive but maybe the burst/top speed might be starting to leave him

Maybe it's not him losing a step and moreso a mental thing? Shannon/Ocho said it looked like he was trying to think too long(look for a pass opportunity) instead of just taking off, off rip like he used to do. He trying to hesitate to find a pass play to "save the game" instead of just running.

Might be. That's a good point.

Lions fan...I been watching all his vids since he started covering the Lions. I always watch the Baltimore ones too. Great insight.

Mirrors what I was thinking last night...why the fukk were you guys in nickel damn near all game when it just allowed us to bully the d-line. I legit don't understand what the thought process was. We ran the same play over and over with duo. Then on that 4th down pass to Amon Ra....showed duo and then hit that pass. Amazing shyt.

That channel and Lamar ensures you guys are my favorite AFC team. I still think you'll bomb the Chiefs, who don't look right at all.
