All the games we played this season, we beat ourselves. Plain & simple!
On offense, too many holding penalties, too many dropped passes, Flacco supposed to be "Cool Joe", but at times make terrible decisions with the football that leads to a turnover or a bad sack when in fg range. Our WRs consistently cant get open. too many 3 & outs.
On defense, too many offside and pass interference penalties! Guys missing their assignments, tackling has been terrible, no pass rush at all, these guys played scared. Cant get off the field on 3rd down..
Let me be honest: This is not Ravens football. The offensive and defensive schemes doesnt fit our personnel. We got weapons on offense, but the play calling is terrible. We got speed at WR and 2 good running backs, big physical tight ends, but we always go 3&out, pathetic! On defense we got depth up front, but our LBs, safeties, and corners are not physical or fast. The " bend but dont break" scheme is not fit for Ravens football. We suppose to be an attacking physical D, not one that sits back and watch the other team march right down the field with ease.
Our team just dont have the confidence to win games, or to put teams away. Teams are not scared of us because we play scared, dont believe me, just look at all the close games we' ve been in the last 2 seasons! Its time to clean house so we can take back what was stolen from us, the AFC North crown.
