As always, it's not that simple. One DB? How bout the pass rush, and stopping the run, in the last 4 games.

Exactly, I hope we draft at least 4 DE's this draft. Convert a few of them into LB's/OLB's

Lets not kid ourselves, we did not have a tough schedule to begin with. Besides the Dolphins, our defense really did not have to face any tough opponents besides the Patriots, and Pittsburgh (the 2nd time). This defense needs to be steadily rebuilt up to the point where opposing teams fear getting hit by us. We have a soft defensive line whether you guys want to hear it or not. B.Williams is way to bulky, Suggs is getting older, and Z.Smith does not hunt. Jernigan, Suggs, and Urban (if he can stay healthy) are the only ones i really like.

How could you possibly hate on a legend like Brady smh. Years ago i used to not like the patriots a lot. Mainly because they were just TOO GOOD. But now, since Ray Lewis' retired, I have grown appreciation for Brady. Whether we like it or not, Brady is a legend, and we should be thankful to watch a legend like him play possibly his final season.

Final Season? Brady will play another 5 yrs

39 to be exact!

He's like 38 years old! Lol

Please do everyone a favor and for the Baltimore Ravens and trade off Jimmi Smith. He is ALWAYS hurt and he is the worst cornerback I have ever watched.

Ok, I'm putting you in timeout. Now go sit in the corner.

I do not know how many people will lose their jobs with this organization until they realize it is Harbaugh. Make no mistake, we have some poor scouts, and whoever is drafting our picks should be re-evaluated, but the fact of the matter is that John harbaugh has this team playing with low energy, inconsistent and a non-defensive mindset. He also has poor judgement.

Sooo we are blaming the coaches for Suggs and Watson's injury?!

im rooting for a gb/kc superbowl. i respect the steelers. blue collar town like bmore and if they face the patriots at some point i hope they beat them.

Unlike you, I hate the Steelers Lol. And I am rooting for Tom "Lord of The Rings" Brady to win the championship.

Anyone but the Patriots!!!

Patriots all day

Picking up Ronnie last offseason was a no-brainer. We have him, but we also have other problems to asses. Starting with WR and Defense. I want to see this team be aggressive this offseason.

I think we need to cut Flacco and start all over- even better, cut Oz and DaCosta too and get Scot McCloughan from Washington to run things in Baltimore-

I would not go that far but he sure the heck is not worth Brady and Rogers money. Pay reduction would go à long way in saving the Ravens future.

That's just not how contracts work in the NFL, Crusader, and all you others who are calling for paying Joe less. Joe's contract is signed, sealed, and delivered. The Only way we pay Joe less is if he agrees to it. Tell me, all of you, if your bosses came to you and asked you to take a pay cut so that the company could give what Was your money to someone else, how many of you would say, "sure, I understand. Go right ahead"? And restructuring has gotten us into enough problems already. When are you going to understand that we're paying the going rate for a franchise QB in the NFL now. And you Do realize that if we hadn't paid Joe that, after his MVP Super Bowl win, some other team would have. Just who would be our QB now had we not paid him and he had gone elsewhere? And don't say Tyrod Taylor, because very, very few expected him to have even the level of success that he has, and I think that he still has a lot of proving to do. Just look around the league and count how many teams are in desperate need of a QB and how many would simply Love to have Joe on their roster. We simply didn't have another viable option then and we don't now. Brady and Rodgers are not the only QBs making comparable money to Joe. There are others.

Honestly, i always wondered how it would have been if we never had signed Flacco to that big contract. It would have been a big splash move, but honestly with the lack of success this team has been having, and Flacco's low energy and high inconsistencies, how much worse can we be?

Just FYI. When I played madden years ago, I always traded away Flacco because he is just as inconsistent in real life as in the game. In the game he asks for too much money. I always drafted another QB immediately and basically rebuilt my offense to be much more successful.

long story short. I would not lose sleep if flacco went elsewhere, as long as the defense was assessed as a top priority

Let's just bite the bullet and see what happens.

If these coaches agree with Mink, and think that Perriman deserves the #1 spot.... then we are in deep trouble. I speak for a lot of people when I say that the fans who pay money for this team, will be watching what this team does this offseason with a very close eye.👀. They better get this team back on track FAST, especially the defense.

We have no tough receivers at all. If this team really moves forward with Permian as our best receiver,, then I will be persuaded that Ozzie Newsome needs to retire

I really hope Ryan Mink is wrong. Because I do not think anyone sees anything spectacular in Permian besides speed. He's literally a faster version of Aiken.

Focus the DRAFT on DEFENSE. Just bite the bullet and draft heavy on defense this Spring. Improve the chances that we pick up true defensive playmakers. Harbaugh has us in this offensive mentality. Baltimore "Charm City", is a blue collar city, and as far as football goes, it's built on DEFENSE.

We better look for someone in free agency....I don't trust Ozzie when it comes to drafting WR's.

It's not Ozzie. It's these lackluster scouts they have

#TheDraft

Aiken has heart. He Plays Like A Raven, and stands up when his number is called. I'd also say he's the closest type of WR we have that is similar to what Boldin brought to the offense. I sure hope he sticks around, and is given more touches.

☝🏽 this is exactly why this offense has been mediocre. Settling for mediocre WR's that rarely get open.

We need playmakers. Not play waiters.

Let Aiken walk..... Draft a big WR.

I would not move forward with Terrence West. Smart decision would be to let him go and draft a HUGE RB.

"Make our scouts great again"

Z smith cant make plays when he never gets on the field

"Z Smith" got his butt manhandled against the Steelers front line. This died was literally taking steps backwards!! So don't give me that "oh he not on the field BS". He has been on the field plenty, he just rarely makes plays. I said last season that his small lower body wouldn't balance out right for our defense.

I could be wrong but from the outside looking in, I think that HC John Harbaugh is the problem. The identity of this team has been missing and inconsistent since Ray Lewis left. That is a sign that the COACHES we have are not suitable.
