And who also had a big drop late in the game that would have extended a drive? Bateman. 

 

That guy isn't a JAG. He's a freaking bust.

 

Gets targeted twice during the game and drops one of the passes. Cut his ass. Worthless.

Just kind of the way it went as far as play calling? He's likely your 2nd or 3rd best player maker.

 

He's such a royal eigh-hole. Dude never takes any responsibility for anything. Again, he's the HEAD effing coach. He doesn't have to tell an OC what specific play to run. He CAN and SHOULD tell an OC what he wants to see as far as scheme and game plan go. 

 

"Mitchell is averaging 14 yards per carry, let's keep him involved and get him more touches".  "We're already in FG range, let's keep it on the ground here and see what we can do, kick the FG if we don't get the first". "We're up 7 here late, let's see if we can't pound out a couple first downs on the ground and keep the clock moving". 

 

If the feedback is "Okay Coach, but Mitchell scares me with his blitz pick up reads"... then the response is something along the lines of "Well let's focus on the run game first, and help him if needed or pull him out on 3rd and long".

 

It's completely insane that we CONTINUE to see the same mistakes made by COACHING year after year, and it never changes, and he still bears ZERO responsibility.  I'm a broken record on this because the scratch is still there, and it keeps skipping! 

 

Having a 2 score lead for MOST of the game, NEVER TRAILING until the final play... and running the ball a total of FIVE times with your RBs in the second half???  And the dude who is second in the NFL in 30+ yard carries basically gets BENCHED after making two of the biggest gains of the game?  One of which where he literally took the long route and still outran two defenders including a DB to the endzone!  Just the way it went...  Insane. It's insane.

By the fourth quarter the Ravens were without their best guard and two top tackles. I'd say that certainly limited what they could do offensively somewhat. Yes, Cleveland played without their two best tackles, but they typically don't run off of their tackles; their strength is more up the middle behind their guards.

4th time in the Super Bowl era a team was trailing within a minute of the start of the game, never led at any point in the game, and won the game.

Awesome. Harbs has a way of supervising some historic collapses...
