We didn’t beat ourselves. They fucking beat us. They bitched us in the trenches. They get paid to play football too. The world doesn’t revolve around Baltimore where we can only lose because we make mistakes and that means we suck. No, it turns out the best defense in the NFL is going to make plays actually. Who knew. Who knew Myles Garrett is a beast and was going to wreck havoc. Who knew they’re an AFCN team which means they have grit and know our tendencies fairly well. Yea it sucks we lost, but it’s not even remotely close to the other two. It was good game by two good teams.
No, Lamar Jackson doesn’t suck like many claim in the threads. He had a bad game against the best defense in the league. It is what it is. On to the next.

We got our worked but it’s poor decision making where bearing ourselves comes in. The two big ones for me were not going back to Keaton and letting deshaun find amari over the middle so many times. Deshaun couldn’t keep it inside the paint but as soon as the middle was there he gashed us.
Also had some tough injuries to account for in game.
Yeah bs, Lamar played bad, held the ball way too long and got sacked multiple times for no reason, we totally removed Keaton from the game plan for seemingly no reason, we lost Marlon, Clowney, Flowers (for part) and half the oline during the game. Between the shit show reffing for both sides, the injuries, and self inflicted injuries the team certainly did beat themselves against a team they are better than. Idk how you watch the game and think the Ravens shouldn’t have won that if they are playing well. The Browns played a great game, the Ravens played poorly, that’s beating yourself when the game comes down to a last minute field goal.
Cleveland made enough mistakes to lead most anyone to believe they’re a pretender masquerading as a contender. James Proche’s muffed punt, four defensive penalties on third downs (each gave the Ravens a fresh set of downs) and a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit sure seemed like the proper combination to prevent Cleveland from scoring an upset win on the road.
They made mistakes and shot themselves in the foot too. No one here wants to admit it for prides sake but they flat outplayed Baltimore.
It’s nice to see there are still Ravens fans who are still reasonable.
I hate seeing us lose, but I’m kinda glad that it humbled us a bit. Blowouts are nice, I want comfortable wins, but I was getting 2019 vibes and really didn’t want another team that looked invincible getting eliminated in the first playoff game. I’d rather look mortal so we have realistic expectations.
People are partially pissed cuz they wanted to believe the Browns were beatable cuz of how bad their offense is. I know the idiots don’t want to hear it, but the Browns are a legit team and have been one for a few years now. Their defense is incredible and as much as I hate that team, I have a ton of respect for how good their defense is.
No doubt they physically beat us up, something that rarely happens to the Ravens. They played bully ball. I lost track of the number of times their blockers knocked us on our asses and their runners/receivers bowled us over.
