Tough to beat a team twice in a season. I really hope jimmy comes back especially with a few extra days off.

Strength against strength!! Zeke is a monster but I don't think our D let's him go off too much. My guess is we load the box and make dak win with his arm. Teams have allowed them to be 2 dimensional all season. 19-17 Ravens.

I have no idea why Smith is ahead of Judon or even Correa.

He's just above average against the run. We wanted McPhee 2.0 and we got upshaw 2.0. I will say that he gets decent anount of "pressures" but he shouldn't be in front of Judon.

It sucks watching Spence, Whitehair and Michael Thomas all become studs.

SUA cravens, Derrick Henry. The list goes on.

This might be a dumb question, but how much do most OC/DCs make? the reason I ask is because the option to just pay coordinators more money to keep them.   Just like how Mr. B says he pays to GMs to keep Decosta in house, why not bump up the salary of a coordinator? What would it have cost to keep Kubiak here? Would it have been worth it?

I know some of this doesn't matter because some guys just want to go be 'the guy' somewhere.  Just a thought. 

That's crazy. Biscotti is paying double the GM price for this?

Joe's contract has nothing to do with not having young playmakers? Where do playmakers come from...the draft. I will agree that he isn't living up to his contract and im a big supporter of Joe, but your take on playmakers is false, we need to draft better. 

I made a thread on that already and 90% of the board disagreed that we needed to draft better. So which one is it?

Its weird how the RSF forum seem to be the one who have seen flacco for who he is, was and will continue to be..although probably worse..

Read the recent RSF thread on Flacco..

This isn't anything new, that board is way more honest lol. Flacco has not lived up to his money and anybody who feels he has is a homer. That's why we lack young playmakers and depend on old cast away vets to be our best players.(hence why we are always so injured). I love flacco but I can say he's not worth 20+mill and that price tag somewhat holds us back. The fact we're paying him that much is moreso ozzies fault than flaccos though. 

I must say week in a week out I find myself proud of this defense. Yes they give up a big play here and there but when a player goes down I don't see TOO much of a drop off. They still are solid and keep us in every game. The offense and coaches treat them like crap every game and that's the most frustrating part for me. I see teams overcome a slew of injuries every week. Our own defense overcomes injuries and can hold its own. And then our offense just ruins it and harbs blames defensive players for trying to overcompensate and score for a trash offense. If we are down by more than a TD the game feels like it's over.

The lack of game changing talent on this team is really starting to show, and that's a serious problem.  As you said though, it's hard to pinpoint where the blame lies.  All we know is the drafting has been subpar and our FA record has been spotty at best as well.

Yep, said it for about two weeks and made a post on it. I guess we need to lose 4 straight for ppl to realize.

Now that I got my rant  post out. 

Problem #1*****

OFFENSIVE LINE

You can't run and control the game without it.

You can't pass effectively without it.

Offense looks like this without it.

 

Your defense gets tired without it.

Would love to see an aggressive trade to upgrade our secondary for starters or get a dynamic playmaker. Problem is teams aren't in the business of helping us (or anyone) and those two possibilities are hard to come by.

Yep. Been saying for weeks we need playmakers. 

Hahahahahahaha we missed like 7 tackles on the punt return ?????☕️️☕️️

i accept all of ur apologies when you negged me when i said to keep Tyrod instead of spending the 28 mil on joe ..............

You know that happens when you say something true about this team lol

Yep, it's official. We actually do need more playmakers. 

I hope one of our playmakers make a play

This team is awful.. can't sugarcoat it anymore

And this is what I expected all along. When you get challenged on your opinions... you run and hide behind the ignore button, and then make gross generalizations that have nothing to do with me. None of the things you just said actually happened.

You might want to ask some of the other board members you trust if they think I'm the one who "hides behind the moderators". I think you'll find I'm a preferred customer of the moderators, and not in a good way. Many suspensions, countless warning points. 

 

If you wanna debate hop on RSR and we can go at it.

Sorry, but this is going to bug me if I don't say something. Individual perceptions of other's emotions/personality/tone are by definition subjective. 

Don't be sorry for stating your opinion. And you're right, good point.

LOL, no. Lets add some "truth" to what's actually happening here:

1. This is the second thread you're created discussing "playmakers". The first one was shut down, likely because it wasn't going anywhere even remotely constructive. To me, it seems like trolling to dry to get the original thread you created back out there, and a poor attempt at that, since I don't suspect this will be open long. Especially when the title of the post is referencing an article on this very website that everybody else can already read and comment on there.

In said thread, I made a grand total of ONE post, of which you did not respond to. That post was also on page 5 of 6 pages, so I can't be even vaguely accused of "leading" anything. That statement by you is just flat wrong and supported by nothing. The thread was closed 4 hours after I responded to it.

2. If you committed the 10 seconds to go back and read my post, you'll notice most of the things you claim that I said weren't said... at all. They can't even be vaguely construed as such.

I was challenging you on some of your completely unrelated notions, such as the fact that other teams have had much better drafts than us. I specifically asked for examples of this, which you did NOT provide. Why you didn't provide that I'm still not sure, but it would appear to be easy if you are so confident that our drafts have been so poor compared to others.

I also asked you to determine how many "playmakers" you would expect a single NFL draft to yield for a team, of which you didn't answer either. I made the claim that if you landed one a year it would be a good draft, while getting 2 in any single draft is very rare and hard to do. 

As I acknowledged in that post, when you whiff on several high draft picks, the public automatically thinks your drafts suck. They don't care if you hit a homerun with a 4th round NT, because you whiffed on the 1st rounder. 

That masks some of the impact.

If you'll notice, at no time did I even vaguely say that we didn't need playmakers and that we had plenty of them.

Many posters on these boards will allow you to get away with exaggerating what they say and trying to push it into your own agenda, but I'm not one of them. Have no issue undressing another poster for being so blatantly wrong in what they say. If there's one thing we know for sure, calling something "the truth" doesn't actually make it "the truth". 

I didnt respond to you because I've been arguing with you for a week now when all you do is mimic my points in your own way. Or you get personal(over the Internet)when you hear something you don't like because you know you can hide behind the mods while I get warning points. It's a waste of time. You're clearly in denial and there's no getting through to you, so you get ignored and will continue to get ignored from this point on. Simple as that.

I was literally screaming at my tv on the 4th and goal. Way to early to be chasing points. If we can't convert 4th downs or trick plays we need to just stop. its becoming a theme.

Nice point man and although I disagree I actually respect your opinion. It's worth debating forsure considering our lack of success going for it. But converting that play tells a coach a lot about his team. So I think the right call is to go. But like I said, your point is valid. 

It's interesting how last week everybody disagreed with me so emphatically on this very point but now since Sarah agrees with me everybody on here has known that we lack playmakers. Maybe it takes insiders to pull people out of denial.

No Alpha dogs under this coach. He has to have subordinates, no one else with an opinion. It was pretty clear un the arrogant tone in all of his press conferences. 

Somebody needs to eat humble pie. The hc decisions, and the player selection, even when to play them should be under question, because this ship is sinking fast

Well said. One of the most objective things I've heard on this board.

Which point did I argue? When did I once say that we had plenty of playmakers?

If I recall, you went off on like 10 different tangents that had nothing to do with this before your topic was closed (which is probably why it was closed).

Tangents? lol nope was arguing with like 30 of you guys who disagreed when I said we haven't drafted playmakers recently(led by you). If you didn't disagree with me why are we arguing? It's okay to be wrong at times, you've made good points but it is what it is.

This isn't something new.  Some people may think we have one, but most people around here recognize that we don't have a true game changer anywhere on this team right now.

Trust me I know, and maybe you know. But if you look at my other thread 80% of posters here are in denial about it. 

Just now, rmcjacket23 said:

Right but this isn't some new revolutionary concept that NFL teams desire playmakers on their team. Its actually a pretty obvious statement that we have known for probably about 5 years now.

Identifying the problem is the easy part...solving the problem is what's far more difficult. 

Yeah exactly. It's funny though because last week nobody thought we had that problem remember? im confused, it seems like you agree with me now but argued this very point all last week. Hmmm.
