These officials have been subtly awful all game.

Some questionable calls/non-calls at crucial points of the game.

That was clearly forward progress.

It's been great.. not too many flags... On the ravens

TBR said:

Jackson isn't good. He's just a different QB that teams aren't used to defending. That's his advantage.

a little premature to say he isn’t good. Is he a great passer no. But he’s improving and he’s getting Wins right now. Next year we will be the defining year

Another fatty would help but that is not the reason they lost

It very much was the reason.

We had to bring an extra LB onto the field for interior runs which made us susceptible to shallow crossers and flats.

If we can’t stop the interior run from the nickel, we can’t beat this team.

Either need otherworldly performances from Shelton and Guy, sign a FA, or pray Cowart develops fast.

I’m shocked how bad this defense has been tonight. Posers all year long.

Not posers, but certainly not all-time greats like some have hyped them up as either. They're a very good defense that had a bad night.

The Patriots played badly from top to bottom tonight. Wasn't the officials' fault they couldn't stop the run like it was 2002 all over again.

At best hes a third option on a good offense

We've seen enough of this guy to know hes nothing more than a mediocre talent

We are garbage outside of Edelman and Sanu.

I think Collinsworth's comments are off about our offense. Those 2 turnovers by Edelman and Brady derailed drives that had both looked promising. It's a very different ball game if a few things go a different way. I'm actually encouraged by our offense this game, relative to a lot of the past games. How many 3 and outs? I think like 2 which is a better than I feel like we've seen in games other than week 1.

Thanks for making me hate these refs even more. Didn't think that was possible. And Collinsworth is celebrating the act on the broadcast. You'd think he would know better as a retired player.

Will be okay.

VrabelJr said:

Outside of the first quarter I think the defense played fine. They just made dumb mistakes and rightfully got flagged for them. That kept drives going that should have stopped.

Guess you missed the 9 minute TD drive in the 4th.

Defense played some one of a kind gimmicky “QB”. I think they’ll still dominate against a normal pocket passer. They clearly need to make adjustments if they the Ravens again.

This is like the wildcat beat down

Jackson is a star. Nice job passing up on him TWICE in the draft B.B.

So you would be playing tonight him over Brady this year after winning the SB last year and starting 8-0? Come on.

This was a tough road game that was close in the 2nd/3rd and not so much 1st/4th. Lots they could have done different and I’m sure they would have (or will) if they meet again. Cutting Antonio Brown and not drafting Lamar Jackson are NOT why they lost tonite. Watch the film, learn what you can, and move on. They moved the ball pretty well for large chunks of the game, they can build on that. Newhouse and the overall OL play - and, perhaps equally importantly Brady’s perception of it - are much bigger problems than WR or RB weapons. TE remains a big hole too. Ravens put out 3 TEs that made plays, Pats only have the Watson stopgap, and he was never Gronk to begin with.

This is not the end of the world, but it was a really poor showing by the entire team !

Brady looks really off, even in garbage time. Whats up with that?

Can Brady at least get a Drew Brees garbage TD for once?

Why is Tom still in the game? Do they really think they still have a chance?

And **** off Al Michaels

Why is Brady in the game? Foolish

All right mods let's lock up this thread!
