Game Thread: Week 4: Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos

[CEH]

terrible STs again haunt the team

 

[wishful thinking]

Getting out-coached. Not showing any blitzing at all. The only time they did was the last play of the half (sack, before the FG). Playing way to tentative and giving to much space on defense. Were running the ball well, but keep throwing it way too much. Not enough play-action. Special teams is a joke and when will they fu------- fire that coach.

teddy may have a concussion

 

[wishful thinking]

I would rather try to tackle Lamar Jackson in a crowd than out in space, so that is why you blitz sometimes. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The non call for the hit on Spencer and the no call for the Ravens D lineman that got his helmet to Teddy's chin are big. TB being evaluated for concussion.

 

[wingsauce7]

Defense gonna need to keep this within reach and we'll see if lock wants it.

Hate to see Teddy hurt, but do want to see what Lock can do. Needs to happen sooner rather than later. Couldn’t go into next year not knowing what Lock can do.

At least he didn't turn it over while running for his life.

 

[Broncoballs]

Is Drew Lock the worst qb ever?

 

[Broncoballs]

Great, Von Miller seems injured. I'm done

 

[megalodon30]

Is Drew Lock the worst qb ever?

Of course not.

Case Keenum
Trevor Siemien
Joe Flacco
Paxton Lynch
Kyle Orton
Brock Osweiler
Mark Sanchez

And that’s just the short list.

Did we just not show up today and the injuries were too much to overcome or are we as fraudulent as everyone believed we were?

We gave up on the run game. We’ve got our backup QB in and the play calling is, run that gets 5-6 yards, then pass, pass, pass some more.

Had no chance with nonsense play calling.

 

[wishful thinking]

I totally agree. We were running the ball at better than 6 yards a clip in the 1st half. I don't mind passing, but play-action and throw over the middle to the running backs and tight ends is what should've been done. Not because of just the injuries, but how the Ravens play defense with a lot of guys at the line of scrimmage.

 

[Orange Crush77]

Terrible game plan on both sides of the ball, zero halftime adjustments and more injuries. Our strength and conditioning and special teams coaches should be fired tomorrow

 

[fightinredantz]

The effort by the WRs in the second half was horrible.

The team looked defeated coming out after halftime.

Today’s injuries:
Teddy Bridgewater - concussion
Diante Spence - chest
Patrick Surtain II - chest

Did I muss anything?

Both RBs managed over 6 yards per carry today, yet we ran the ball 17 times compared to throwing it 37 times.

Shurmur absolutely sucked today and put our offense in horrible spots all afternoon. Sam Martin got a workout because Pat refused to call a balanced game, despite the success we had running the football.

You’re missing 2 of your top 3 WRs and your starting QB misses the second half and that’s how you call the game? Inexcusable.

 

[PumpFake]

Back to the drawing board.

 

[Duffman]

We knew the Ravens were going to be tough so I don’t think we should hit the panic button yet, but if we play this bad next week against a what looks to be subpar Steelers team, then we should be worried.

 

[nflbronco]

I'm not freaking out over this loss but, I do think Denver needs to win next 2 games to show we are different. If not I'll expect same old attitude of past seasons.
