Also, I can't just give Lou a free pass for that 2nd game, just because we had some injuries. Lots of teams have dealt with tons of injuries and not given up 4 bills on the ground.

The injury excuse also doesn't hold water when his defense has allowed 215+ rushing yards 6 other times and 250+ yards 3 other times. The trio of 250+ yard disasters all happened in 2019. Can we blame injuries for those as well?

I said "flashes of brilliance" (and he did in the Seattle game, the pitt game last year) and said "damn good job" in the first Ravens game of 2020.  

I guess the putrid offensive output in many of those games that wore out the poor talent they had on defense will get a pass, even when Burrow wasn't out there.  This puzzles me, but nonetheless....I think we will see a marked improvement in this year's squad with the solid roster.  It isn't full of talent like the Bucs, but we will have a legit evaluation of both Anarumo and ZT after this season.  

I know it was Marv's schtick to have the shirts made...but this year's should read two words:  NO EXCUSES
