In the end what happened?
Lu Ke sat down on the grass, with his hands on his knees. His muscles ached all over, and his chest felt heavy. He looked around blankly, looking at his opponents who were celebrating the victory of the game and at the away players who were cheering in the stadium stands. Fans, watching the dazzling score on the big screen at the stadium——
"16:10", the home team comes first and the visiting team comes last.
The Baltimore Ravens won this strong matchup, while the San Francisco 49ers unfortunately had to face two straight losses of the season.
Although there are losses and losses in competitive sports, and victory and defeat exist objectively; although the showdown between the 49ers and the Ravens is inherently a 50-50 matchup, no matter what the outcome is, it is normal; although, Victory and failure in the NFL are inherently the difference between them.
But no one likes to fail.
In the last wave of offense, the Baltimore Ravens defensive team still did not take it lightly. First, they successfully completed the third gear of defense, and then faced the San Francisco 49ers who chose to attack with three yards on the fourth gear. They made a clean sack and completely eliminated the opponent. Stifled the 49ers' counterattack momentum and firmly held the victory in his own hands.
The one who completed the sack and killed the game was still Ray Lewis, the soul of the Ravens' defensive team.
Looking at the entire game, this was Lewis' fourth sack personally and the defensive team's ninth sack.
A total of nine times!
The Baltimore Ravens' defense threw the San Francisco 49ers' entire offensive line into a blender, tearing it into pieces. It could almost be said to be asking for and getting in and out with ease. They had four sacks in the first half and five sacks in the second half. , and that's not all.
In addition, three times forced Lu Ke to throw the ball hastily, directly smash the ball or throw it out of bounds in the direction of the pass, so as to avoid losing yards in sacks and avoid hasty shots leading to interceptions; five times he created pressure and forced Lu Ke to throw the ball out of bounds in the direction of the pass. Ke completed the pass in a hurry; two effective collisions destroyed Lu Ke's passing action.
The above is just pressure on Lu Ke alone.
If it were for the entire 49ers offense, then the Ravens' defensive front line also contributed fourteen effective tackles, severely blocking the running back's advancement, and pressing the ball as soon as the receiver completed the ball. Pour here to avoid releasing large numbers. Such a performance is almost comparable to that of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers at their peak, winning the game entirely relying on the defensive team.
After being captured, Lu Ke sat on the grass and did not stand up for a long time.
He tried to get rid of it, and he also tried to find opportunities, but the offensive line was torn apart too fast. Almost at the same time as the kickoff, a gap appeared on the blind side. He really didn't have much space and time; what's worse is that Yes, all the special skills have been used. Two absolute steps and one bronze skin and iron bones have completely entered a state of exhaustion.
Thinking back carefully, it seemed that he had no other choice but to surrender.
This idea makes people confused, even more angry, and even embarrassing.
…
"This is not a San Francisco 49ers game."
When giving a summary statement of the competition, Teddy expressed his thoughts, the simplest and weakest sentence, and a wry smile appeared on his face. If it can be said that the losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals were more or less due to luck, and the outcome was within a hair's breadth, then in this game, the San Francisco 49ers were passive throughout and had almost no opportunities.
In this regard, Kirk also nodded in agreement, "It can be seen that the Baltimore Ravens are very well prepared for this game. John Harbaugh completely contained Jim Harbaugh's offensive tactics. The strong collision on the front line was not only ferocious. , and it was efficient, suppressing the 49ers' variety and flexibility in a head-on confrontation."
One force can bring down ten.
"From a data point of view, the Ravens received nine sacks, which is also the game with the highest number of sacks this season. As for whether it is the highest number in the history of the league, we should look at the historical records again."
"But for me personally, the number of sacks is just a number. More importantly, the Ravens' frontcourt defensive strategy is undoubtedly successful. They have strong pressure, strong pass rush, and strong tackles. They have integrated the entire defensive front. They all went ahead and compressed the 49ers' offensive space as much as possible. Even without sacks, they still had the upper hand on defense."
"Purely speaking from a tactical perspective, there is no secret. The Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions have all used similar defensive tactics before. But the reason why the Ravens are successful is that their players have the skills Such ability must be implemented to the end.”
“Ray Lewis, Halloday Ngata, and Terrell Suggs, these three Pro Bowl-level players, have evolved the defensive coach’s tactics into reality, from the first minute of the game to the end of the game. At the last minute, he tightly suppressed his opponent. Unfortunately, Lu Ke was unable to turn the tide this time."
After analyzing the reasons for the Baltimore Ravens' success, Kirk's eyes came to the San Francisco 49ers.
"In the past few games, the San Francisco 49ers have successfully completed several critical moment reversals. The reason is not only Lu Ke's boldness and calmness as a quarterback, but also the correct choice in desperate situations."
“It’s also because the team gave enough support. Logan Newman and Ted Ginn performed exceptionally well as the primary receivers, and Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis also made wonderful catches. , Marcus Lynch exists as a surprise player."
"However, in this game, Lu Ke was dragging the entire team forward alone."
"It can be seen that Thursday night's game still has a great impact on the young San Francisco 49ers. The players' performance was too impatient. They were eager to prove themselves and express themselves, but instead they caused The ups and downs of the state have always been unable to provide effective support to the quarterback."
"Needless to say, the poor performance of the offensive line. Except for center Jonathan Goodwin, the other players were a mess; and the performance of the receiving players was far from outstanding, with problems with dropped balls and running problems. , route problems, there are simply countless. After the second half, they tried to improve their state, but their mood was still too impetuous."
"We can look at a set of data. The 49ers had 13 yellow flags and lost a total of 125 yards; the Ravens on the other side had five yellow flags and only lost 45 yards. "
"In addition, the 49ers' receiving team had a total of five bad hands, which ruined a good situation; in addition, during today's game, there were at least four verbal conflicts on the field, and players on both sides were full of firepower. Totally."
"The young and energetic 49ers offense has paid the price for its youth. From the offensive line to the receivers to the running back lineup, it has never been able to provide effective support, but even in this situation, Lu Ke Still gave a brilliant passing performance, 27 of 41 passes, 193 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions."
"Compared to the last performance, Lu Ke regained his form and struggled until the end. But unfortunately, without the support of his teammates and relying only on one quarterback, they could not win the game. Victory. The final score was '16:10', and the San Francisco 49ers were only behind two free kicks. This was a very close, very close game. Unfortunately, this time it was not the 49ers who had the last laugh. "
It’s hard to sing with a single palm.
All of Kirk's comments can be summed up in this simple and clear sentence. Maybe it is biased to say this, because the team is a whole, winning is everyone's credit, and losing the game is naturally everyone's responsibility. Responsibility, but it is undeniable that today's San Francisco 49ers offense failed to show a convincing performance.
The league has discussed before that night games are undoubtedly special. It is a grand stage and it is often easy for people to get lost. Abnormal performance of players is a high probability event. Only a few players can perform exceptionally, and the young San Francisco 49ers paid such a price.
After just experiencing a defeat, the young offensive team who were eager to prove themselves became more and more impatient. They realized the crux of the problem and the crisis of the situation, but could not find a suitable solution and could only run rampant. In the end, he hit his head badly and lost the game.
Growth always comes at a price.
But for Lu Ke, the mood was really difficult to accept.
In the last game, he lost the game because of his own mistakes. Not only was it the first time he lost a chance to reverse the situation, but it was also the first time he personally lost such an opportunity. He must shoulder the responsibility and fulfill his duties as captain; In this game, I felt even more frustrated. I kept trying, but seemed to be trapped in a cocoon, bumping left and right, never finding a solution.
They never even saw the dawn of victory. They fell behind, were at a disadvantage, and then simply lost the game.
Angry, uncontrollable anger. After experiencing the confusion and shock when he just lost the game, the anger began to burn. He sat there, not because of injury or pain, but because he was suppressing his anger. He didn't know. Can I continue to suppress it?
However, he still had to stand up after all. He walked to the center line of the court, shook hands with Joe Flacco and John Harbaugh, maintained his grace, and expressed friendly congratulations, then turned around and took steps towards the locker room.
As he walked, his anger began to boil. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Mike Rupadi chasing after him quickly, with a guilty expression on his face, as if he was ready to apologize. An unknown fire suddenly rose up. Lu Ke finally Unable to control himself anymore, the surging emotions erupted like a volcano. He slapped Rupati's right hand away fiercely, "Grass! Get away!"
This was the first time in my memory that Lu Ke got angry. Rupati was really frightened and was stunned in place. However, Lu Ke was not in the mood to care about other people's thoughts at this time. That kind of surging anger must be To vent his anger, he suddenly stood up and yelled at Rupati fiercely, "Get out of here!"
Angrily, he strode to the locker room.
