Agree. The first fumble was on him, but I can't blame him for the second where nothing was open and he needed to make a play. He had some great throws, but the whole O just lost their rhythm after going up 14-0.

It’s almost like on offense we thrive running the ball but lost 3 running backs and on defense we use elite corners to mask our deficiencies in other areas and lost an elite corner

He took too many big hits last night. Some normal tackles but some unnecessary when a D player dove at him late.

yup with no time to practice for the new guys. Very limited playbook...

I love Lamar. He carries this team and has to be a superhero out there. When the protection is as piss poor as it was last night, it catches up to you. Fumbles are a pretty natural side effect of getting hit the way he's getting hit. The first one was a great defensive play, the tackling technique was perfect to jostle the ball loose. The last one was because of the protection being straight up broken, when you get hit in the pocket like that, fumbles are a natural consequence.

This OL is going to get him hurt and then, as the other thread said, the sky will really be falling.

A lot of Ravens should be angry and pi$$ed at themselves for letting a winnable game slip through their fingers. LJ is the leader, so I don't blame him for his feelings... Bc

A pocket QB would have gotten concussed playing last night. Lamar was on the run for his life every snap last night.

Lamar made a few nice throws. Outside of that he seemed to revert back to some bad habits. Not widening his stance (base) on his throws, short arming a few throws. Those fumbles definitely played a big part as to why we loss. Pass protection was astonishingly poor. When the OL is that bad that leaves for little room for mistakes.

This. How many years will Biscotti give Harbaugh to be a head coach? Is 14 years enough of OJT?

Well there were several times where he stood in the pocket and double-clutched more than once. Blocking was sub-par yeah, but Lamar’s gotta do his part and not take forever to wait for plays to develop.
