    Our fans are ignorant. Not saying some of the issues aren't MM8, but how could you watch that game and NOT see the obvious.....an OLINE that has even come close to what it was late last season, a wr/te unit that is truly bottom 5 without a doubt. I have serious doubts ANY QB would have success with this supporting cast. TOO many guys just happy to be playing on Sunday's and getting paid on Tuesday's.

    I look forward to the All-22 this week.

    I saw Marcus not getting the ball out or scrambling into sacks. I saw an OL who looked overmatched. I once again saw a lot of tight formations which pulled even more Ratbirds into the box.

    A good OC adjusts and LaFeur didn't from what I could tell.

    Matt LaFleur weeks2-4 and the guy we've seen the last 2 weeks totally different guys.

    Whats going on at Matt's house?

    Why are people blaming the WR's when the QB is sacked 11 times and there are no running lanes?? Between MM8 not getting rid of the ball and being indecisive AND inconsistent how do you possibly say it's the WR'S? Has anyone seen him step into a throw this year? I have no words.....MM8 had a decent game against the Eagles, doesn't play well the last 2 games. He did the same when he was injured last year and no feeling in 2 fingers in his throwing hand, O Line looked like Boys against men yesterday. that was the worst of it and LeFleur had no answer for the Ravens yesterday. The Boys need to stop talking and bragging to the media and celebrating 1 win against a good team and tighten up!

    The tight formations and the running into 8+ man boxes. What in the hell Vrabel? I thought we weren't going to be stupid? What happened to that? You need to spread the field so that they can't have 9 guys near the LOS and bring different people.

    If they're bringing heavy blitzes, you have to get the ball out quick and put pressure on the other team to make 1v1 tackles. We didn't even get that far, MM8 just held the ball and went down.

    QBs who have chemistry with their WRs can throw them open because they know where they're going. There's a level of trust built over time.

    I don't think that's happening at all with Marcus and this WR group right now He had that with Walker. He maybe had it with Matthews.

    If Marcus doesn't trust this group to run the right routes, he's needing them to get more separation which means sometimes hanging onto the ball longer or staring down the receiver.

    Anyone think this plays into the mix?

    I agree and we also need help in the running game. Really odd, vs the eagles we dialed up over 30 pass attempts and last 2 games under 20?

    Mariota played poorly.
    Total QBR of 14.4, which is VERY bad.

    BUT....
    He was not the only one who played bad...there was LOTS of bad on the offense. Mariota no worse than the rest of the offense, IMO.

    Let’s face it...We were barely a winning team last year, and haven’t been with Mariota as “The Man”. Everyone sucked yesterday, and it’s 100% accurate to call out the OL, and depth...We have no viable Tight End, average receivers, etc...but my problem is that Mariota is inconsistent and wins with athleticism and rarely by throwing/vision. He has to learn to get rid of the ball by year 4. The Eagles game was the best I’ve ever seen him throw, and yet, 2 games later, here we are as always......

    I have to watch the all-22. I'm sure you can blame Mariota on a few of those sacks but you certainly can't put 11 sacks worth of blame on MM. What a pathetic showing by the OL. Hope they're embarrassed.

    Also, LaFleur deserves a ton of blame. As embarrassing as this game was, it was never really out of hand. 12 rushing attempts?! The OL can't pass block for crap and u try 12 rushing attempts?! Jesus Christ... Henry had 21 yards on 7 carries. Not great but he certainly deserved more opportunities.
