    Whole team needs to be pissed off with the fact that we can't consistently score points or adjust on offense. Only reason the NE game was close was 2 turnovers. How often does that happen? It was obvious that NE was playing zone and taking away underneath. Do we not have plays to bust zone coverage?

     

    Teams are going to continue to make us dink and dunk down the field if we can't beat zone. They just wait for us to make a mistake. We can't put 10-15 play drives together without drops, misfires, penalties, etc.

    Do we not have plays to bust zone coverage?

    No, and we won't until we get a legit OC that is good enough to get the job done, but just bad enough to not be offered a HC job after his first year, lol.

    jh:hello norv this is john harbaugh, nt: what can i do for you john? jh: funny that you ask but i would like you to run my offense next season. nt: if i have to keep castillo and engram than forget it and if you force me to go for it on 4th down like 10 times a game than forget it. those are my terms. jh: i give in norv because if the offense stinks once again my job will be in deep doo doo. nt: damn right it will be john but ozzie should be canned as well for loading your roster with 2nd rate players. hey maybe if you get fired they will hire me as the hc. sure i accept the oc job john and thanks.

    haha give it a rest! Ozzie and the FO's ability to draft quality players are the reason we have been the in playoffs 6 of last 8 years! Those two non-playoff seasons were post SB when everyone retired or got over paid and 2015 when we played with back ups. 90% of the league would give an arm and leg to have the success the Ravens have had the past 8 years

    Yea, I have a good friend that moved down here from Jersey so he's a Philly fan. He always asks, "what the heck are you Ravens fans PO'ed about, we'd kill for the kind of success you've had. Quit whining!"

    If Jimmy Smith does not play against steelers or CIncy, we have no chance

    IMO your are way over rating the performance of Jimmy Smith and I would offer to you the PFF ratings on him as my rational. He is no better than a league average performer and on most game days he does not even reach average grades for CB's ....

    that may be true, but how far down those ratings is our #2's ?

    I see a lot of people on here saying Flacco doesn't know how to read defenses, but he finished with 71% completion 325yds 2TD's and 92.1 QBR. I mean John Gruden was (obnoxiously) flabbergasted by the defensive scheme so it couldn't have been a cake walk for Flacco and he still put up those numbers. Not to mention the countless drops or flubs by his receivers (Wallace). So my question is: was that just luck on his part, or maybe he was reading the defense well and we just have mediocre weapons who only win occasionally in man-to-man and subpar coaching/game-planning?

    On the topic of calling audibles and "taking command of the offense", how does everybody so confidently know that it is Flacco's deficiency and not due to helicopter coaching by Harbaugh/Marty with a "stick to the gameplan we gave you Joe" type deal? In other words, is it because Flacco doesn't know how to/isn't good at it or is it because he is being restricted? I don't know, I don't think anyone but Flacco and the FO know, but this is something I have been asking myself for a while -- maybe there's a way to tell. I'd argue, however, given Harbaugh's coaching style, and how Marty reacted when Flacco called him out (he should do it more often), that Flacco has been and is being stifled/micromanaged when it comes to plays. Also there is evidence to support that on the field: when do we see Flacco picking apart defenses and getting into a rhythm? When he goes NO HUDDLE, it's what he did in college and in the first few years of his career. In the hurry up, he's in the driver's seat or at the very least has the final decision making ability and logistically cannot be vetoed by Marty and Harbs.

    Anyway just food for thought, Go Ravens!

    You also make it a little tuff on your QB when you only call 4 run plays in a half.

    Is this the same article that he wrote before the Dallas game?

    I want us to win but let's face it, we have not proven that we can win a big game on the road yet this year.

    I'm hoping for the best but I really don't want to hear Wacko say that we should have beaten them like he did after the cowgirls game.

    Swagger aside, we just need to play a really smart four quarters because we all know the patsies will and they don't beat themselves like we have had the tendency to do at times, so far.

    The wise guys say we are a bigger underdog than the brownies this week so there must be a good reason for that kind of betting line.
     

    well, any QB thats interviewed after a loss, is gonna say "we shouldv'e won". whats he gonna say "we lost just as I expected"?

    And where do you get your defensive ratings from Mr Football Knowledge? Dr Seuss? The Cardinals have the 2nd "ranked" defense, your asterisks are ranked 9th. Also there is nothing "assanine" about a Ravens fan expressing a positive thought about the team that they follow on a Ravens Community Board, so don't get all upset about it.

    apparently, "football knowledge" needs to change his moniker.

    Watching the Pitt/NYG game. Giants safety comes up for blitz, and miss plays TE out of back field, leaving him wide open. Ben hits him for TD, and announcer says..." Ben with an excellent throw for the TD". Really? The TE didn't have anyone within 10 yards of him, I coulda made that throw! So tired of all these talking heads hanging on Bens jockstrap.
