24 hours later and the anger has left me and I'm left with disappointment. But the good news about a short week is that we can't dwell on the past and we still have 15 games to go. I was going to go to the game in person, but it's an 8 hour drive for me and I'm too nervous for another letdown. That drive back would just be too damn hard. With that, here's what I'm looking for in week 2, broken down by segments: Rex Ryan: Less Penalties Team psyched up and ready to go (Team never looked comfortable or prepped the entire Ravens game to me) I want to see some fire from him if the offense isn't getting things done (not getting plays called in time, making adjustments at half) Holding the Jets to 15 points would be nice Duke Williams shouldn't be covering ANYbody. He can help over the top, that's it. Figure out how to get some pressure up the middle without Dareus.I don't know if Kyle got double teamed last week, but it was alarming how little pressure we generated up the gut. Roman: I want to see the team up to the line with at least 15 seconds left on the play clock Clay with at least 5 touches. Working the seam Woods and Watkins working some slants with deep routes mixed in (Jets play press and with one safety deep) Half time adjustments if a close game (if blowing them out, keep on doing it :-)) Spread out the field and get some quick passes called to start the game. Get TT in a rhythm. Get Clay, Woods, and Watkins going early. Even if it's 3-4 yard plays. Just build some confidence and momentum. Runningbacks McCoy needs some screens and cutback routes. Get the man in some spaceRun him until he pukes. I don't want Bush out there on 2nd down. Bush - he runs backwards again, put his ass on the bench Tyrod: Some fire/passion (I respect his demeanor and not getting distracted, but he needs to lead this team and if they are in a funk, snap them out of it) Find the middle of the field (like he didn't do all of last year either) Get the plays called and to the line quickly (if not, let me see him do something about it)Audibles as he sees them Overall Give me a reason to believe last week was a bad week. The defense did good. The offense was pure crap. Tyrod did enough last season to give him the benefit of the doubt for me. But they backed themselves into a corner by losing to the Ravens. If you are going to be a playoff team, you have to beat the teams that are beatable on the road. The Ravens was that team. So now, you HAVE to win your home games against division opponents. It doesn't get easier after the Jets with the Cardinals coming to town and the Patriots are proving to be no joke without Brady. If we start 0-4, which isn't unthinkable, it's going to be a really brutal season and continuity goes out the window.

I thought they were earlier today

I'm not saying that Dareus being gone cost us the game. I'm saying that the lack of push up the middle was noticeable.

It's like QB's. If they were that easy to find, everyone would have one. I'd be willing to trade picks for a head coach, but doubt we would get any takers. I sincerely doubt we would even listen, but I would write a blank check to Harbaugh in Michigan

I have to disagree. Watching the receivers most of the game, they were usually within 10 yards of each other. The routes called just weren't great and were timing throws. I didn't feel like Sammy was being held back in what he was doing. Not unless Sammy said "don't send me deep" I said this in another post. The WR were just bunched together and eliminating half the field. Not good routes

what you saw on tv is what you got. That's why I'm on the coaches for the play calling and lack of adjustments.

I'm still waiting to see what this health Robert Woods is supposed to be able to do.

You never want to see a team tank. And having an overall top 10 pick so many years in a row should be more than enough for a good organization. The Browns show you the other side where they still can't figure it out with worse records

All I heard was "Kelly" "buffalo" and "tank". Sign me up!

Let it burn! I honestly don't even care. I'm already numb.

I'm terrified to think what this board will look like if our D gets lit up next week and our offense still struggles. And yes, I'll be in that frenzy if not leading it 😀

I've always wondered if the Roman praise was self-created. I never thought the SanFran offense was considered anything special. With that, Rex is the defense and leave the offense to Roman. However, Rex is still responsible for penalties, tempo, and overall atmosphere. I equally blame them both today

Disagree. I'm still blaming Roman. TT seemed to run the plays called for him. TT can make the throws and even more with protection

Maybe I'm spiraling. Maybe the truth hurts. Who knows? When I look at all the scores, even the Cleveland game, I think it's a fair argument to make that we were the worst team to play today. Yeah, one week. Yeah, away game. But did anyone think that was going to happen today? Did anyone think that was going to be an honest conversation? The more I'm thinking about it, the more angry I'm getting at the coaching, Dareus and yes, Whaley. I believe in the talent on this team. I'm far from a homer. But I genuinely believe that a top 5 coach wins this game. In fact, I think our team wins if you just swap the coaches on the sideline. I'm mad at Whaley for hiring Rex. I'm mad at him for not addressing the right side of the line. I'm mad at him for taking Lawson IF he knew that surgery was a likely outcome. I'm mad at Dareus for being a selfish piece of ****. Rex/Roman. Just !@#$ you both. No excuse to have the team show up like that today. Absolutely no excuse.

I like you

Kittens got claws

On that play, the ball only traveled about 20 yards in the air. That was the longest pass of the game. Pathetic

Again, I don't care that they challenged it. I care that they did it and showed the play they wanted to run. And then STILL ran the play.

You need to add Carpenter's Missed FG. That was the moment the deja vu kicked in for me and I knew we were done

It was hard fought for me to not throw up all over my Sammy jersey

Doubt it. The ravens were only running the ball and getting 1st downs at the end. They pry would have gotten into FG range on that last drive. And if your way of staying positive is that we could have won 7-6, your BBFS is worse than mine

Please take this thread, game tape, and anything else in relation to today and burn it, bury it, then burn the ground

Fair enough. And yeah, it might as well have been tea time.

If you look at the Ravens players quotes, their #1 gameplan was to keep TT in the pocket and contain. Unfortunately, they also got pressure up the middle so he had nowhere to go.

Don't pick and choose facts. I even said that the result was good for the defense. 13 points was enough to win. BUT, you could also see the lack of pressure up the middle. Read everything before attacking.
