Postgame – Baltimore

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick

(It was a tough day in the office.) – “Yeah. It’s never good to be embarrassed like that, especially at this level. What we had talked about: nobody is going to feel sorry for you and your situation. That’s what happens. You go out there and if you don’t execute, you’re going to get beat bad like that. Obviously we need to play better, which is an understatement.”

(What do you recall about the first quarter interception?) – “It happened. Earl (Thomas) made a nice play. We tried to get Kenyan (Drake) down the seam and Earl came out of center field and picked it.”

(How surprised are you at this result?) – “Obviously we all had a much different outcome dreamt about in our head of how it was going to go today, and I think the only thing we can do moving forward is continue to try to string good practices together and continue to keep a positive attitude, and in doing that, hope that the results follow.”

(How difficult was it to try to get your offense going when the offensive line, there were position changes and putting new people in. Certainly they were putting a lot of pressure on you to get out of the pocket quickly. How difficult was that?) – “Every game is going to present its different challenges. We knew coming into this game, the Ravens, with what they did last year and obviously they have some new pieces, but they’re a tough defense. And not just from a schematic point of view, but really the personnel that they have in there, they’re a good defense. We knew we’d have to be at our best in order to combat some of that stuff, and it just kind of got away from us early.”

(You look for good things out of every game, and WR DeVante Parker did some good things. We saw some good things out of him after most of preseason. Anything else out there you felt was going your way?) – “DeVante went up and made a nice catch there. Preston Williams had his first touchdown in the NFL. If you’re looking for small victories, that’s about it. Other than that, not a great day for us at the office. We’ve just got to get back to work and continue to do our best.”

(It’s a small thing, but the first play of the game you looked like you all audibled and you had one-on-one coverage and the guy didn’t hear. What happened there?) – “(It was a) miscommunication, which that was the big thing that we were stressing all week with moving parts and pieces was communication was at a premium. That kind of set the tone for the day there, and not having great communication on the first play.”

(When they hit your head and knocked your helmet off, did you feel like they should have — that should have been called, that that should have been a penalty?) – “Those are always judgment calls, and sometimes they see them, sometimes they don’t. I think I feel protected back there by the refs. I think they did a nice job of it and try to take care of us when they see it.”
