I feel like the national NFL media is running with this loss a little bit. The way many pundits are talking about this game is as if Baltimore beat us up so badly that they would win 9 of 10 matchups. I think the teams on the field were evenly matched for the most part. The D looked gassed after being put in bad spots by Brock and the O all night. I do feel like the game plan got a little cute at times.
For the most part we moved the ball pretty well and the stats showed that. I still think we got this.

They got their ass kicked, it happens. Still be same loaded team it was prior, if there are long term injuries to OL then yes I'm concerned, otherwise, not really,

I have zero concern moving forward about this team outside of injuries.

In the moderate range. This is a good team. But I have my doubts if they can go all the way and win the Super Bowl. Injuries and Shanahan may be the downfall. Some of the injuries will heal up. But I'm not sure I fully trust this team to win the Super Bowl after that.

The Ravens are not better than us. We'll see them again in the Super Bowl and the result will be much different

Very little beyond further injury and subpar OL performance.

But sub par OL can tank you against the Ravens.

Let's account for the injury, how concerning are the injuries? Imagine it's LAR and the one seed on the line, with no Trent. Or opening playoff game, and no Trent.

He just has to play for both of those. Period and end of story.

My only concern is that this team isn't built to come from behind and seems to fall apart when things don't go our way.

Zero concern. We were better in every metric except turnovers. I can't imagine having another five turnover game. Hell, we may have won a three turnover game lol

Zero concern. Unfortunate bounces aren't something opposing teams should rely on.

I don't want to imagine any more games without Trent.
Is there a low-moderate option? Lol. Injuries concern me. BP and Co will come back slinging against Washington, no doubt about it. But the idea of no Trent

Not so much concerned just feeling that more are seeing what I've seen this season: it will be extremely difficult for this team to win it all this year with this offensive line. We can get away with it against the NFC, but the AFC has defenses that will straight bully our line, especially the right side.
Shanahan is going to need to game plan to account for this especially in situations when we are behind

Not too concerned outside of the injuries. Still have the one seed and everything else along with it ahead of us.
