I think the issue was the second half, and our last 3 possessions. Key time to close out the game and our offence did next to nothing with it. Unfortunately reminded me of the Super Bowl a little, we had chances to close out the game and the offence stopped being effective. But the Super Bowl was definitely worse, as like you say we didn't possess the ball many times in this game.
In any case I'm not too worried about it, we played a top defence and the offence did a good job of not committing turnovers.
I agree. I do think Baltimore has the best defense (both players and scheme) that we will play until the superbowl (Niners/Eagles). The other team has solid players but Baltimore had really no weakness especially once they got Roquan.
