The offense was bad. Flacco was bad, but he is not the reason we lost this game. It was a total team loss where our OL (outside of perhaps Yanda) looked like 5 big guys plucked off the street, our WRs looked like they were running in slow motion, and our OC forgot how to call a winning game.
I know the fun narrative will be "it's all Flacco's fault," but that's absolutely idiotic. The only players who deserved their pay today were Rice and Tucker
