Baltimore is doing things right, yes, but so are the Seahawks in many ways that we don't want to see because we are upset.Hard to give examples for teams you dont pay attention to. Baltimore might be the best team in the league right now so i'm sure their doing something right.
When we talk about adjustments or lack of therefore, there are examples we can list though. Pete seems to stick with the game plan no matter what whether if it seems to be working or not, thus the old saying - "trying to fit a square peg into a round hole". Of course there were the times when Wilson would just start playing sandlot in the 4th quarter because the game plan had to be thrown out due to being ineffective, but that's not adjusting. That was desperation.
Take McVay for an instance. He observes the first half and if what he is doing isn't working, he changes it up in the second. Pete does not do that or seldom does it. He believes in execution and wearing teams down and that's not good enough a lot of the time.
Baltimore hasn't done anything that we haven't for, again, a decade running. Their temporary hot streak doesn't negate that, to me. We've had streaks like theirs. We had one in 2020. Their fans have the same grumbles as we do. The lack of evolution, the same issues yearly, lack of schematic adjustments during losses, etc.
My contention is that we're not the most objective parties because we are emotionally invested. I think this is just how it goes when you've got the same coach for a long time and he doesn't win 7 Super Bowls.
