I know fans are fustrated, but no reason to throw in the towel yet. We sit at 3-3, which means there is plenty of time to get it together. But here is my take:
I'm still an ample believer in Flacco, but too many times he overthrow receivers. There has to be better QB play. But then when you look at the O-Line, you can see why he is playing that way.
Yes, Haubaugh has made some not-so-good coaching calls, but he is still one of the best coaches in the NFL. The only decision that I do not agree with is the week against the raiders when he accepted the penalty to repeat 3rd down instead of letting Jankowski kick on 4th. But today, I would've went for it on 4th too. We needed to get ahead big before Eli got it going.
I'm still not a Dean Pees fan. Our Defense lack that "create chaos" factor that we've had when Rex and Pagano was our Defense coordinators. There is no confusing the offense, pressing at the line in short down situations, and no crazy blitzes to throw off the opposing QB.
Perriman is NOT a bust. Please do not forget, this is his first full season. At one point, in the the preseason, everyone was saying the same thing about Torrey Smith when he kept dropping passes. He just needs to hit the jug machine more and work on his hands like Torrey Smith did. Perriman shows his big play catching ability week after week. He will be a good one.
Flacco sometime seems as if he does not have his heart into football and Flacco has to take control at the line. Far too many times, Flacco will hurry up and hike the ball instead of helping the line point out potential blitzers and analyzing potential holes in the coverage. When you look at guys like Brady, Rivers, Rothlisberger, and even Matt Ryan, they will talk and communicate with the line and recievers. Thats why each one of them have very good recievers. If he could build a Bff relationship with a reciever like he has with Pitta we would be much better.
Other notes:
Alex lewis do not look good at LT, he plays good at guard, but LT is not looking good for him.
Webb is good at S, but needs to work on his communication with the other DB's.
Zach Orr is definitely a bright spot
