How did this team manage to win 8 games?
I wouldn't be surprised if Smith Sr holds off retirement one more year and signs with New England next year

Actually, since 2012 he's been bottom of the pack
But Flacco finally threw over 4000 yards. That officially makes him elite, right?

Are you seriously paying attention to that game?
Look- the Ravens suck. And it's a combo of bad play calling, bad drafting, and no leadership. The Ravens success of 2000-2012 had everything to do with Ray Lewis. Kubiak is the Only reason we made the 2014 playoffs. Flacco is not the answer.

We weren't the better team. Stop it. We sucked then just like we sucked tonight.
2 minutes ago, jboy19 said:Offense: I was pretty happy with Flacco's play. RBs were streaky but had a pretty good showing. Receivers had drops at the worst possible times- Pitta, Aiken, Waller, Perriman. Line had some struggles, but nothing too significant that I saw. I think that the number of coverage sacks was unacceptable and that theres a legitimate problem with Marty being outsmarted by even average DCs. The fact that we saw every receiver covered downfield multiple times during this game is extremely concerning to me. The offense did what they needed to on that last drive though, so I can't fault them too much. But I will say their inability to finish in the first half was fatal.
Defense: I think that the defense had some definite confidence issues. They played well in the 2nd/3rd quarters before things seemed to fall off the wheels. I definitely think that the refs didnt cut them any favors and Jimmy being out hurt them more than it initially appeared. Though I think those two factors definitely hurt the defense more than anything, I do feel like they could have taken over this game if they could have kept playing smart and disciplined towards the end of the game.
This is a game the Ravens definitely should have won, but unfortunately drops and bad reffing kept the Steelers in this game. And the Ravens didn't step up when they needed to most.
The Steelers are not a very good team and I definitely don't think they deserve to be in the playoffs. But unfortunately it happened.
I can simplify that long post: Ravens suck

Dude- with Flacco under center it doesn't matter. We're screwed with Joe.
If this team actually plays any starters next week I'll be surprised. They should play every MD high school senior. At least then the offense might do well. Since 2012 Harbaugh has succeeded in destroying the legacy of Ray Lewis
Up by 10 going into the 4th and we end up losers. Harbaugh & Company, I salute you.

Ray Lewis. Ed Reed. They were why our 2008, 09, 10, 11, and 12 teams were so special. They were the real mentors, the real leaders. Because since they left, Harbaugh has taken us to the playoffs once. Once. Our offense finally had it going, and our D wet the bed. If Harbs stays as coach, at least fire Pees and don't hire a friend!
The Offense has it going?
3 minutes ago, Cville-Raven said:Us losing could be a blessing. This game made it very evident we need more talent at the edge and corner back positions. Getting a top 20 pick will benefit us in the long run. Just asking way too much of Suggs at this point in his career. Peas needs to take the fall for the late season collapse of the defense.
This loss is not a blessing. It's a clear indicator that the Ravens suck.
I hate this team. Unless we draft the reincarnation of Ray Lewis, we're destined for mediocrity.
So we will likely have to watch Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl again. Parity my butt. I'm done with the NFL. It's more like the WWE.
This loss is on everyone but Tucker. He must be sick that he has to play in Baltimore for another 3 years. Without Ray Lewis the Ravens are nothing.
I'm officially focusing on soccer. It's clear the Ravens are worthless without Ray Lewis
This team sucks.
Thanks for nothing, Ravens.
Ravens are awesome! Best offensive play makers, a truly elite QB and clear leadership at all levels. This team is going places!
I can't watch. The one time I turned on the game against NE was the long TD. Best of luck, Ravens.

Must have watched this team all year. You already know what's gonna happen.
Good thing we drafted Perriman- He's soooooo fast. Never mind he couldn't catch a cold. What a waste of a 1st round pick.
So it's all up to the offense now? When does the 2017 season start? Who cares- half the starters will be on IR, and Joe Flacco will be our starting QB. This team was done as soon as Ray Lewis retired.
We are going to lose this game. And it ain't the defense's fault.
Ravens, you suck.

Games like this are why I truly don't think Steve will retire a Raven. Targeted just 5 times in his final game while Pitta gets a dozen throws (all under 10 yards). Sad. Thanks for your effort and passion, Sr. Sorry it had to end like this.
