Terrible efficiency. Bad play calling coupled with some bad reads and some sacks that should not have been taken.

Will give a little leeway from the last game due to injuries, but why are you running the ball so much with 3 backup linemen? Does not makes sense.

Ravens went 5 games in a row in 2000 without scoring a TD. 2-3 in that stretch.

And they had 9 drives within the 10 yard line within that 5 game stretch that resulted in either a FG or a turnover.

They need to get their starting OL back. That is going to cure some of the problems. But I also think sometimes near the goal line you need deception to get guys open in the passing game. I don't like fades in the end zone unless you have a guy like Dez. Even then they work 50% of the time. The QB has to be very accurate throwing the ball to a spot and that isn't Dak.

Yea, well this isn't the 2000 Ravens defense

Sure, but the topic was goal to go failures and Baltimore from 23 years ago had an impressive failure stretch.
Wasn't comparing the defense between the two teams.
Just stating the last team that I could find that had a longer stretch of no TDs, in the modern age, from within the 10 yard line was the Ravens.
And that was with Tony Banks & Dilfer at QB, even though they had Holmes and Lewis at RB.

I don't think our WR's have a single Red Zone reception.

With the names we have lining up on Sunday, that's even harder to do.
