Missing: Baltimore Ravens defense…

Martindale’s defense was poor for the second consecutive week. We heard the familiar post game cries of miscommunication that we heard last week. The Baltimore Ravens gave up 503-yards of total offense including 140 rushing yards.

Edges weren’t set, receivers were wide open, and it was big-play after big-play for the reigning MVP and his high flying offense.

Earl Thomas: where you at? The pass rush also ended up on the milk carton this week. The eight quarterback hits is nice. The one sack isn’t good enough. Especially against Patrick Mahomes.

And yes the officials weren’t great yesterday. Do you watch the rest of the NFL? They’re bad everywhere. The fix is not in. The tin foil hat conspiracy theories have to stop.

Did they hurt Baltimore’s chances yesterday? Of course they did. Were they the difference in the game? Of course they weren’t. The Ravens got outcoached, outplayed, and outclassed throughout Sunday’s loss.

AND THEY LOST BY FIVE POINTS!
