harbaugh is the most overrated of all.  I blame him first and foremost.

Yes throw it right on Aiken's chest onto an incoming defender that will ram him right on his chest.  Perfect throw.

 

Oh, and lets completely forget the past 3 throws before that.  That underthrow to Pitta was perfection!

That's the play that was called... Guess he shouldn't have thrown it to anyone considering they might get tackled.  

[cobrajet]

We did not have to go for two on that first TD either, but I am OK with that. Accepting the penalty instead of declining it was idiotic!!!!!

We can and I do!

At times like this, certain players should be allowed to give the coaches an earful. Worst on-field decision I've seen so far this year. No sense to it whatsoever.

Flacco hasn't had a good game all year, but I fail to see how Aiken's nonsense is his fault.

Aiken and Moore...neither should be relied upon in this sort of situation.

Really, for a few yards, why were we even throwing? West was running well.

Ultimately Harbaugh caused a 4 point swing with that awful decision to accept the penalty, and not taking the PAT earlier meant playing to win rather than thinking about OT. And really, the defense let the Raiders convert every. single. time in the redzone.

Total team loss. Just terrible.

Wright...

But they will. It must be terrible to live life with so much hatred for a person you don't even know...

Agreed. That decision to accept the penalty was the worst coaching move I've seen all year. Easily.

Yes you can.  Overthrows, under throws. Not being aware to protect the ball.  Those mistakes are JOE's fault.

Ravens should've ran the ball on 1st down to get in field goal range before pass the ball. They pass the ball 4 straight times. 

[mdrsharon]

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

 This game was winnable . Too many mistakes, too little production.

respect to the defense, but Crabtree had our number

[cobrajet]

We should be 4-0...Sorry I am having a hard time letting that it go that we did not decline that penalty! It ruined my night!

Yet they continuously run the ball when passing is a better option. Trestman is backwards!

You obviously have an anti-Flacco bias. He obviously underthrew Pitta, but on the Aiken throw, there is literally no where else to put it besides right on his chest. That gives him the best opportunity to haul in the catch because he can secure the ball immediately. There's a reason why people say you put the ball on their numbers. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

I still think Lewis not making any attempt to legally disrupt Crabtree's catch cost us most in the final minutes.  Dude just watched him adjust to catch the ball.

Joe flacco is overrated. Always has been always will be. Besides his random playoff run in the playoffs to win a super bowl throughout his career he has been average to me. Joe hasn't even thrown for 4,000 yards in a passing league. Even derek carr is better than him right now in my opinion.

Don't forget Carson Wentz

[playlikeawhat]

Shareece can't get mad if people start calling him Shake n' Bake Wright.

Joe made a lot of costly mistakes...I'm not happy with his decisionmaking

At the end of it all, we were 2 plays away from 4-0.  Even after all the stupid penalties and bad calls, we could have walked away with a W.  But instead we now have to play the blame game.  I don't know how people live with so much negativity.  Life must be miserable.

Well, not dropping that pass would have been helpful to not be questioning play calling. That's a 5 yard gain and out of bounds.

[Somerset Ravens]

We gave the game away.

And that's on you buddy...  shheesh

[ThatsMyJoeTerback]

Huge difference between 3-1 and 4-0. It's unfortunate we're 3-1. Way too many mistakes from the o-line and Joe.

[SorryNotSorry]

so we bench Forsett so i know it can be done... if Wright isn't benched next week I might lose it. 

[metalraven]

The D gave the O plenty of chances, and the O pooped until the 4th. But it was too late. These repeated 3 and outs for entire first halves are killing this team.

I must say, though, that the D is still super good.

He absolutely shares blame. He made some poor decisions, and that fumble was absolutely terrible.

I still think the coaches are the ultimate goats though.

With no left side protection.....  gooood-ness

[codizzle]

Need to figure out wright on defense, Get doom/sizzle 100%, end the ridiculous penalties and find some consistency on the oline and we can make it far this year 

 

grand scheme of things i think we're okay

[Red723]

I won't be surprised if we go on a losing streak and just miss the playoffs.  Poor coaching and execution.  The raiders are a better coached, more talented team.  Their defense finally showed up.

Wentz isn't better than Joe.  Yes he looks good now but wait till people. Get tape on him as what happens with most QBs,  their weakness will be exploited.
