Was that not the case all year?So with bad o-line play, no running game , and by your own take no true number 1 receiver, what did you expect him to do against that defense?

Thanks for your support!

Stroud has had probably the best Rookie season of any QB, and Slowik still at times calls plays like he does not trust him. The run really wasn’t there and he kept trying to force it.Your point?
No it wasn’t.I'm not being a CJ hater because I feared we would end up with Bryce. But today was bad.
BingoWait...folks are actually putting it on Stroud? Sorry but that is quite the stretch. This is a team game. No matter how much the media loves to build up the quarterback position no one is winning or doing much without their teammates doing their job at least to some sort of halfway efficiency.
Where in this game did anyone see that? The offensive line is where it starts and Stroud was pressured nearly every time he stepped back to pass. Now not only do you have pressure on your QB because your line isn't blocking but you have zero run game so the defense isn't even thinking about it at this point. To add to it you have one receiver because your other two deep threats (Dell, Brown) are out injured meaning after Nico the next best receiver is an aging Woods who is nothing but a possession receiver at best because he gets zero separation.
But somehow with this Stroud was supposed to do amazing things and against an elite defense?

I didn't expect the o-line to play so poorly and commit so many stupid penalties, but sadly they did.So you expected the blow out
It’s not even worth commenting on honestly. The kid played well given the situation. No TO’s, no sacks…made plays when they were there…that’s all you can ask of him. His o-line and play caller let him down today.
Yeah I didn't get that at allI didn't expect the o-line to play so poorly and commit so many stupid penalties, but sadly they did.
Are you saying Nico isn't a 1Also, Nico/Schultz/Singletary were his only viable targets. That’s not enough against the Ravens in windy conditions.
Both of us… cause I -still- think we can win even though we lost already!You rang? Who is the delusional one now?
My biggest ***** of the gameI’m still upset at that complicated flea flicker after we were getting on a roll.
"DEMECO BUILT THIS TEAM IN A CAVE! OUT OF A BOX OF SCRAPS THAT CASERIO HANDED HIM!"
I posted this way back when it happened. Never saw anyone beef about it. It was a got damn first down. Singletary never touched the ground. He even told the ref “I didn’t touch the ground” no clue why that wasn’t challenged!?!Not challenging the obvious first down where Singletary rolled on top of the defender
So you expected the blow out
And the only viable target Lamar has is himself and Flowers. And flowers did crap today. Hate that we lost this way but whatever.Also, Nico/Schultz/Singletary were his only viable targets. That’s not enough against the Ravens in windy conditions.
So you expected the blow out
??I'm not being a CJ hater because I feared we would end up with Bryce. But today was bad.
I was wondering why they ran a quick play after that instead of challenging it.I posted this way back when it happened. Never saw anyone beef about it. It was a got damn first down. Singletary never touched the ground. He even told the ref “I didn’t touch the ground” no clue why that wasn’t challenged!?!
For me when it comes to the offense we saw some big pass plays when we started to pick up the tempo and Slowik wasn't consistent in sticking with what was working.It was fun while it lasted but the season is now over. Once the Ravens found a way to run the ball with players besides LJ scrambling it was a rout.
That is two of the last three games this run defense got demolished. Luckily against the Colts, Taylor got banged up to help slow that down. But the stats lie. This run defense needs help. When teams commit to running the ball, it tends to work out for them. Even the Panthers got going on their drive to end the game earlier in the season to put the Texans away.
Offense was clearly overmatched and the conditions helped take away the deep ball that was CJ’s bread and butter all season. But that is going to be expected when playoff football time comes. Have to get the horses around him to produce despite it all. Find that dynamic RB. Find that OL that doesn’t get pantsed and have him running for his life. Get difference makers!
Only if we could get a true #1!!Trade his a$$!!!
The better team won. Went about how I thought it would. If the Texans were healthier, the outcome would've been better.Love you all. You've been very hospitable to a complete stranger and direct competition in myself. I'll go silent for a while but wanted to say thank you and that I'm indeed here for the long haul if you allow. Your team will dominate in years to come.
If you believe that you haven’t been paying attention to the Texans.
Demeco did a great job this yea this isn’t to take away from anything he accomplished. And Caserio did a great job this year too. Caserio had a good roster put together, made the necessary trades, and worked the waiver wire for players to fill in hopes for Demeco to get to the divisional round playoff game.
There was also the issue of key injuries throughout the season and inexperience all around on our team going up against a lot more experience all around on the Ravens. What was LJ8's and the Ravens playoff record since he has been the starting Qb? They had better seasons than us and still struggled during the playoffs. Our time is coming sooner than later, I truly believe that. These Ravens have been a long time in the making. Rome wasn't built in a season and neither was the Ravens and neither will we be!There was the little issue of a superior opponent in the equation also...
Yeah and your right on the mostly everything
Yet CJ was far below average.
He got to see pro ball today.
And you can't argue that.
That was weird to me too and then the next run had a bad spot also. Well, the super bowl logo conspiracy continues if the ravens make it all the way this year lolI posted this way back when it happened. Never saw anyone beef about it. It was a got damn first down. Singletary never touched the ground. He even told the ref “I didn’t touch the ground” no clue why that wasn’t challenged!?!
One kickoff, which he fumbled but recovered.Just curious because if it happened I didn't notice it. Did Pierce even get a carry today?
I don't know.... maybe I could have negatived harder.
I put it partly on inconsistency on Slowik not doing what started working,I put it on the ravens defense saying "your not going to run on us"
I expected that it could be based on the variables that have been mentioned throughout this thread. The future looks bright from my perspective!!So you expected the blow out
He was far from bad. Didn’t turn it over, throw pick or fumble took great care of the football, while running for his life with no running game & poor protection.I'm not being a CJ hater because I feared we would end up with Bryce. But today was bad.
How many Super Bowls has LJ8 and the Ravens won since he has been there? How much experienceHe wasn't bad, wasn't great. Just there. Doesn't really matter honestly. When your team constantly does things presnap to set you back, or drops passes, or he himself sails the few opportunities we were able to scrounge together, then whatever. Can't do anything about it but not do those things. Never make a difficult job even harder. Bad enough the team is still hurt, bad enough the team doesn't have experience, bad enough his top option hasn't been there, the job doesn't have to be made more difficult by blowing all the ******* fundamentals.
I will be looking forward to more football soon. UFL and the Houston Roughnecks! It is far from being the USFL of the 80's or anywhere close to the NFL but it will do!One positive tho the whole team got smashed all 3 phases so has a,collective no one person can take blame
Also no one got a serious injury
In a few weeks we will forget about this and move on to the draft and off-season
How many Super Bowls has LJ8 and the Ravens won since he has been there? How much experience
does that team have from coaches all the way to players? How has their injury situation been compared to ours?
The Ravens had a lot more going for them compared to what we had going for us coming into this game!
Texans are garbage without Stroudravens are garbage without #8,
I wasn’t trolling you. It’s pretty easy to go back and look at my post history to know I don’t do that.I have a different word, or quite a few words actually, but I’m not going to take the bait and feed a troll. A bad troll at that. Up your troll game and go all in if your just going to troll.
So you expected the blow out
Are you saying Nico isn't a 1
I am certainly pulling for the Ravens if they end up playing the Chiefs. Do you really want to see any more of Mahomes awful family, Travis Kelce, or the freakshow that follows them around with Taylor Swift in the picture?
