I can remember a year in the not to distant past when the Bengals managed to make us sweat to even get in the wild card spot after they beat us in the final game of the season. This year we should return the favor and knock them out of a bye. Go get them Ravens!!

Go for it!! I will be cheering you guys on.

While he is evaluating young guys, I hope Harbs also looks at how they are coached. I hope he takes a real good look at how our secondary is coached.

The interesting part of these upcoming games is going to be which PS player is going to actually acomplish something. I am not expecting us to win anymore but will be pleasantly surprised if we do. It is interesting to see who preforms on our depleted offense. It is just too bad that I also have to see our terrible secondary as well.

The Good: Clausen did not get hurt and KO seemed to do good at LT The Bad: Our special teams did not show up as much as we have been seeing in the last few games The Ugly: Our defense except for a very few players

I might have felt sorry for Browns fan but then I saw a replay of Will in the endzone and that Browns fan giving him the finger with both hands. That drained all my sympathy away.

All game long I was pleased with how much heart the team played with. When we got to that final Brown's field goal try, all I could think of was just somehow block the kick. I was willing to go into overtime to try to win. I sat in total disbelief when Will scored a touchdown after the block. This team will be the better next year for all the effort these backup players are working with. When our starters get back next year, they will know that they have to fight for their jobs more than ever. Harbs quote about "iron sharpen iron" is going to be the by word next season.

Harbs does not normally call out players in the press. Both guys are likely gone within the next couple of days. He did not call out Flacco's ints in the press conference but you can bet both Joe and the WRs heard from him in private.

It will go one of two ways. Either we lay an egg or we win big. Do not see a close game this time.

For the most part I love Harbs. The only big things that I have a problem with are all the times he is going for it on 4th down this year. We do not have a team that can consistently make those kind of plays. The other complaint is he needs to be harder on the coordinators . Those are the guys that are in charge of the position coaches. All these penalties are a direct result of coaches not holding players responsible for the stupid mistakes. Harbs has had to be the good guy this year to try to keep the players going and not give up. But the positional coaches are letting too much go. (like DB's not catching balls that come right to them, ST players causing stupid penalties that wipe out good returns, and so on) The other problem we have is that our current WRs have no positional awareness. They do not keep in their minds what is needed for the first down. Our new TEs are a lot more aware of what is needed to get the first down than our WRs are. Maybe after this humiliating loss, Harbs will start holding the coordinators more accountable and then we MIGHT see a ripple down effect to that.

The Ravens in their short history have been blessed with so many outstanding players that I am not sure I would have enough room to list them all but SSS will always be included in my list of great Ravens. I wish him the best in whatever he decides and appreciate all the great work he has done here (so far).

I was listening rather than watching the game. On the Williams/Johnson play, I could clearly hear a whistle while Johnson was down the first time. It was only one official that blew a whistle but that play was blown dead. Why that was ignored is something I do not think I will ever understand.

Please do not challenge worse at this point!! With the way we are loosing players I do not want to see what worse might be.

When the CBs are at least 10 yards back and we have so many pieces changing in the secondary there will always be ways that the QBs can take advantage of us. If we are going to blitz, then we need to be playing full press and one on one coverage. Otherwise when the blitz does not get to the QB and we are playing zone defense, we end up giving away big plays.

Have my fingers crossed that he does bring a pair of solid hands and speed to our passing game. Welcome to the Ravens Chris and make the most of the opportunity.
