I don't fault Harbaugh for the 2 bad decisions. He's the coach and he made a decision based on whatever. I fault him for his constant mediocrity. He does the same thing over and over. Pee's can be a good DC but; he's not; Tressmen just plain sucks. Will either problem be addressed - NO! Joe is in a bad spot again with a lousy line. All of you Joe haters watch any QB being sacked, pressured, hit etc over and over and they no matter how elite will suck. I've watched that occur with every big time QB. That said; Joe does need to improve pocket presence. He needs to find ways to help himself and maybe start kicking some o-line butt. We continually have an o-line problem and a secondary problem year after year after year. That's not Joe's fault. Product on the field is the head coach's responsibility period. We're the Ravens we will always be ugly. We need to be winning ugly not losing ugly. We do look better than last year But...........

He may regret removing the beard but; I sure don't mind not having to look at that ugly thing - at least for awhile. No snark intended. Everyone should do what works for them. Just realize we have to look at you, you don't. Again (JMHO) please skip the phony righteous indignation...

haven't been impressed with the off season so far, yes better than last year but; just ok. But; now the FO is saying loud and clear we're serious about winning. That means giving Joe some real receivers. GOOD ON YOU!!!

Waco for Flacco, and he's also a good decent man.... nuff said

Nancy Pelosi, not a good choice as villain since she was originally from Baltimore. Her father was actually the Mayor for a few terms. HISTORY - Thomas Desisandro most likely spelled wrong - a long time ago

We are who we thought we were - a crippled team without many options. The fact that we won 5 games is a wonder. I do give a ton of credit to these guys. They never say quit. Hats off to that. I for one am not that impressed with Mallett. If you really watched him when times got rough, he was sorta outa sorts. I don't know how to say what I'd like to say without getting "warned" nuff, said. I actually liked Clausan better I figured the Steelers game was a fluke. I have never seen the Steelers so flat playing us. Next year who knows?? We all did see some guys that could be big for us. How any of that is handled, who knows.

I have no idea what Tressmen is doing to our receiving corp, But!!! DON"T STOP!!! First off people seemed to understand where they should be and what they should be doing. Running good routes, doing curls, fighting for the ball, getting open. This is the first time in a long time I have seen our receivers actually look like NFL receivers. Of course it was one game and the squeelers looked really, really flat. I won't get to excited until I see this happen more often. I like our new OC I think he offers guys a chance to be successful by designing plays that play to their strengths. I also seemed to the that elusive light bulb just started shinning. As much as I rag on Harbaugh and his assistants, not today. Good job everybody!! Planed your work and worked your plan

To me this is just another case in point for Harbaugh's poor decision making. I don't think a fake punt is a bad call. I do think it's a bad call on your own 30 yard line with the score 14-7, early in the game. This is typical Harbaugh unwillingness to take responsibility. How many times has Joe said he made and bone headed play that he shouldn't have made. talks about being aggressive but; how many games have we lost with Pee's stupid prevent "D" or Cam's timid play. The guy just has no cred's, just how hard is it to say, opps!!

OH my GOD!!!! As if were not embarrassed enough!!! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

Typical of Harbaugh to not want to deal with another problem. This is NOT just bad luck. John - geeze 1. It's poor conditioning 2. For some over conditioning 3. Poor technique 4. Not hitting enough in practice (NO PADS SILLY) 5. Turf 6. Playing on Thursday 7. Change in Head Contact Rules 8. Not stretching properly or not stretching enough, not warming up enough(I don't think you can stretch to much - who knows) And the propensity for some to just get injured a lot Not one of the listed many reasons (but I'm sure not all) for injuries is unfixable so to say it's like trying to catch the wind is just not helpful (JMO)

I actually like this idea. We have NOTHING to play for so why not let the young guys show their stuff. Also I know a lot of people will neg me but; why risk more injuries on our "A" team for basically nothing.

I just stopped watching, awful, awful. But hey what can you expect when you put the local high school JV on the field. WHO ARE THESE GUYS?? I'm gong to skip out till next year. I am a Ravens fan but; this is not the Ravens. Endless mind numbing commercials, bad and or fraudulent officiating, stupid dribble coming out of the mouths of these horrible commentators and just plain bad football. Three, three and a half hours of nothing of interest. There is no point, just endless irritation and boredom.

Heeeaap!!! Miss you man>

I thought I was the only one seeing all the dirty plays for Suh, a couple the refs were standing right there. He speared Schuab in the back right in front of one and actually hit him another time. Then call in interference on our guy who didn't touch the WR, 6 pts to the zebra's. Some day one of these guys will write a tell all book and admit they were on the take, just wait it will happen.

Good luck Joe. Positive vibs by the thousands sent your way. We miss you!

Something is really, really wrong here. I know the Ravens are not a playoff team, not even close but; how could the average high school jv team lose to Miami. I thought the Browns were a really bad team not next to Miami. geeze This was one awful team how could we lose?? Something is really wrong, it's not the Ref's or the other team(they sucked ), or bad luck or the QB - it's us. I don't know how we could lose to these terrible teams, it's just unexplainable. The game was so boring I nodded off a few times. Harbaugh needs to stop all the rah, rah nonsense sit down with his crew and examine this team top to bottom and figure out how to change this endless willingness to lose.

This question is like the guy who smoked 3 packs a day for 25 years and then talks about his bad luck being diagnosed with lung cancer. Really dude?? We have been heading for this place relentlessly for over 3 years. Inability or unwillingness to replace lost leadership due to retirement or Harbs quest to purge the team of Alpha's. Very bad FO moves, continual merry go round of OC and DC plus QB coach. Unwillingness to accept the need for quality receivers and a stout O line. Unwillingness to admit Joe's lack of progress due to the above. Caviler attitude about lack of offensive weapons. Unwillingness to fix secondary. Lack of conditioning being some of the cause for unending injuries. (yes, I know it's football and injuries happen.) This is more than injuries happen. Bad management and bad coaching. Complete lack of discipline - again coaching. Poor game planning etc. etc etc. Yes, and a ton of bad luck. Bad luck - good teams make their own luck. Good teams start with good management. It's been a perfect storm created and executed by a ton of bad management, lack of vision, lack of discipline and lack of leadership.

I see a lot of people complaining about the refs. I agree. I watched the Pats and Bills, I noticed very few flags being thrown. It was startling because you could clearly see, off sides, illegal motion, holding all over the place etc. Pretty much what you see in any other game. How come way over half of those fouls were not called and no one said much about it. INTERESTING.......

I am so upset over Joe. Part of what makes it so unsettling is : Joe is just flat out a good man. Maybe he is to good. He takes it all in stride and just goes out and does his job. Yeah, he screws up and makes dumb plays, throws bad passes, yada yada. I watch other games and watch Brady and Carlson Palmer, Rivers, Romo etc do the same thing. No one seems to notice it's a team sport and Stuff happens. Get well Joe. My other concern is the officiating, come on you clowns are ruining the game, between the endless commercials and the lousy, lousy, lousy oh did I say lousy officiating these games are almost unwatchable. How can you not start to believe the fix is in on this crap. All this ticky, tack bull is killing the game. ok I'm done.....

What I don't understand is The NFL saying we blew it oh well. Think about this the game was over 00 seconds on the score board not set. Say oh well we blew it to bad for you is serious stinking thinking. Harbaugh taking it on the chin being the bigger man also stinks. Why can't they change the outcome to we win they lose. Why can't Harbaugh make a very big stink out of it, he is such a joke. It's like being arrested for a bank robbery someone else did. Would you say oh well bad luck, on me??? Come on people this is not acceptable, and oh well what can you do, is the WRONG answer!! May I repeat the game was over!! The NFL should be forced to at least call it a tie. A bunch of sheep!!

And the hits just keep on coming. Just what the team needs MORE CHANGE The entire Ravens management team needs to stand on Charles Street during 5 oclock traffic and scream WE DON'T HAVE A CLUE need more proof???

@riseNConquer81 Hey your entitled to your opinion. I have always believed you get what you settle for. If you don't strive for excellence why bother. Mr Harbaugh was a mediocre special teams guy and he is a mediocre head coach. He has had a ton of help with getting this team to the playoffs. Now he no longer has the people the depth, the leaders to hid his lack of skill. I am not beat up on the man. I believe he is a good decent man. He's just not a "good" head coach. He has not earned the level of arrogance he displays. Maybe a losing season will shake him up and he'll grow up - maybe not..... (JMHO)

John, of course people are scoffing!! We are 1 and 5!!! What else needs to be said. How many "years" has everyone scoffed at the Browns, Miami etc. When you lose people lose respect and interest. This is the problem I have with this guy he lives in some other world We are the fans, we don't lost interest and yes we are spoiled rotten, so what?? I see no real reason or excuse why we shouldn't continue to be. Are New Yorkers spoiled with the Yankee's, or New England with the Pat's? We expect this team to win. When you make statements like we have to play better -- Expect that to happen. We're the fans excuse us if we act like fans.

@PurpleRainBlackVeins I agree with every thing you say times 10. Harbaugh is a PR man, song and dance rah, rah Don't get me wrong I don't hate the man but; I do hate what he has done to this team. He's taken a team that other teams actually feared and made them into yes men. History tells you that yes men always under perform other wise they wouldn't be yes men.. You can take less talent and coach them up. Which Harbaugh has no clue how to do. Otherwisw we wouldn't be hearing the same we have to blah, blah(fill in the many, many things needed here) better I doubt there is a quick fix for this team. If Suggs were here we would still be losing. We have a medicore "O" coach, a bad "D" coach and a PR guy with no real skill as a Head coach. A general manager who has lost his edge and a QB that can't carry this mess (who could) and a group of guys that are just plain not talented enough and under coached. You don't fix this over night and this didn't happen over night. Anyone who tried to warn about the coming storm got negged and scoffed at.Now it is what it is....

Oh well, to bad...
