Offense:

- Tannehill, for whatever reason you believe, is not getting it done. The team at the very least needs to draft a QB to push him next season in TC. He is the guy for at least one more year so thank god for the opt out clause.

- Hell of a throw to Parker though.

- Hey pass blocking is still ****ty, with the exception of Pouncey and Albert, so there is that.

- How Tannehill doesnt have a lacerated internal organ like Andrew Luck is a goddamn miracle.

- Davante Parker can ball, a couple of clutch catches from him when we needed it the most. Its gonna be fun watching him over the next several years.

- In fact I think Parker is the reason that we do not pay Matthews big money. It sucks but Matthews being injured will be used against him in negotiations, as well as the fact that this is his only good year. You dont break the bank for a WR who only has one good year. I would much rather use whatever money we can free up for Vernon and Miller.

- Landry must be fighting through some pain, he didnt seem to be that involved in the game.

- Lamar Miller is good at football, 5-0 when we actually give him the ****ing ball.

- Zac Taylor is bad at playcalling.

- How the hell did no one get open against the Ravens's second team sceondary?

- Buh bye Jordan Cameron.

Defense:

- Why the hell do we always give WRs an 8 yrd cushion?

- OV is good at Football, **** Steve Tasker for constantly implying that Vernon is a dirty player.

- Suh is even better at Football.

-Grimes is on the decline, it really sucks.

- Our LBs should not be covering WRs.

- Reshad Jones is going to the Probowl.

- Nice defection Jordan Phillips

-Good hustle, Derrick Shelby.

Misc:

- Dear Damien Williams: Stop it. Just stop it.

- **** Steve Tasker.

- NFL officiating is awful, I mean lots of ****ty calls all around today

- Can we somehow borrow the retractable roof from The Marlins?

- **** Steve Tasker.
 
Steve Tasker should go back to his old job. Dropping footballs.
 
I was at the game and call me crazy but I love games like this. Hard-fought, defensive football w points coming at a premium. When Parker scored I levitated 10 feet out of my seat as the tension/frustration was so high. Tannehill looked like David Woodley today in 1982. It was that type of win. Just a handful of first downs, good ground game, a defensive score, a few good pass plays w less than 100 yards passing. Damn someone put me in a time machine. You don't see these types of games anymore but I enjoy them. Having said that, I realize the game has evolved and the reality of today's performance is concerning:

- Our offensive game plan was weird. Ravens have a terrible pass D and we couldn't muster 100 yards of passing offense

- We did a nice job running the ball but the inability to move the sticks just killed us. Could not make a play on 3rd down.

- I thought the handoff to Damien Williams on 3rd and 1 play left w Bill Lazor.

- Ryan Tannehill made exactly 3 good plays in the game and that's it. TD to Parker, clutch 3rd down completion to Parker and not throwing the ball or running OOB on the last offensive play. Other than that he did nothing to help his case. It's frustrating.

- Bobby McCain was ass-raped my Matt Schaub and a bunch of practice squad receivers. Ugly. Make a play on the ball damn it.

It was a fun game to be at though a better turn out would have been nice and there were too many Ravens fans (though the ratio was less than last year). There were a lot of good defensive plays and it was great to see us get a goal line stand too.

im glad I didn't have to hear him today. He's awful.
 
this was a terrible game for the entire team except for a handful of plays.

-Phillips tipping the ball in the air for Jones to INT
-Tannehill TD pass to Parker for about 40 yards.
-Shelby tipping it to himself for the INT TD
-Tannehills 3rd down completion to Parker when it was NEEDED

Other than those plays that i remember this whole team was trash today.

-Receivers barely getting open at all
-Ravens receivers running wide open most of the day
-Corners, all of them, getting torched regularly.
-Tannehill missing passes that he shouldve made.
-Dropped balls by a few guys that shouldve been caught...i wont fault Landry on that one play where the guy came thru the line untouched and Tanny had to get rid of it really fast and Landry didnt turn his head around in time. But i remember Miller and Cameron with dropped balls that shouldve been caught.
-Linebackers are just absolutely atrocious. Probably the worst group of LBs in the entire league and not even close. These guys cant shoot gaps, they cant cover, they cant tackle. They just flat out suck. Its painful to watch other teams defenses and see talented LBs who make stops behind the line. They can cover a tight end or defend the middle of the field in a zone defense. Our LBs cant do anything of any value that contributes to the team.
-Playcalling was bad as usual. I know people act like blaming the playcalling is a copout and players should execute but when the playcaller doesnt put players in the position to succeed then it needs to be considered a very, very serious concern. Bill Lazors offense is crap to begin with now we have a guy who probably isnt even qualified to be the QB coach and who only got that job because of nepotism in the first place is now the OC and in charge of calling the plays. More of the same crap today. Short BS all day long. What is with these morons and calling plays that have guys running in front of the sticks on 3rd downs? What dont these morons get? Have the routes past the sticks, that way its a catch and first down instead of catching it then having to try to get 3 more yards after the catch...i mean its ridiculous. Also why do we never run and outs like we used to with hartline? why no curls or comebacks? This offense is very predictable and boring. We dont stretch the field. You cant even blame Tannehill for not going deep because we never have anyone run and routes that are deep. Everything is short routes running right into traffic.

Overall, in reality this entire team sucks.

RT was terrible today

Miller was very good, except for that fumble.

The TD pass to Parker was perfect on both ends!

I like the commitment to the running game. And we ran the ball effectively against a decent run defense
 
Ravens fans travel well even when their team is ****. It's an enigma. Unless those dolts already live in Florida.....

the TD pass was an awesome call to go for the throat right after the TO. And it was a great ball and great catch. I went nuts.
 
It was an exciting game and a great team victory.

Lamar, Vernon, Suh, Shelby and Reshad all had great games

They won the game because Campbell and Zach

took the ball out of RT's hands.

The pass to Parker was sweet, there were two nice passes to Parker but

other than those two every pass thrown was thrown poorly. The ball placement was very bad, consistently very bad.

I think they INTENDED on RT throwing as few times as possible, it was not a mistake.

Next season they need to bring in another QB for this team to have hope.
