I love Harbs, but I think his time is up... this team is ill-prepared too often and his coaching decisions on and off the field have been meh. We need a new voice, not to mention this putrid offensive system needs a complete overhaul... Ozzie also needs to be evaluated. He's not Superman anymore. Far from it. Too many bad drafts. Too many slow, non-athletic skill players.

Must-win game. If Joe doesn't play, I still like our chances, but obviously I'd rather have Joe in there...

Going for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline is almost always the right call, according to a number of studies based on statistics and probability. I know logic and statistics make people uncomfortable, but.....

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't. And the numbers say go for it.

Yes, but based on our woeful offensive line situation, flow of the game, and how they looked on the previous 3 attempts, going for it was the wrong decision, and it ultimately cost us the game... horrid defense notwithstanding.

Good: West continues to impress

Bad: Harbaugh's coaching; late-game D; O-line; Flacco's accuracy

Ugly: See Bad.

It's getting warmer... another losing season and I think Mr. B. cleans house.

8-8 would be our best case scenario so long as these injuries keep piling up and Harbaugh continues to make unsound decisions week after week.

Harbaugh should definitely be on the hot seat... his coaching decisions the past few years have led directly to losses, including the last 2. That's just not acceptable... that being said, most NFL Head Coaches are at least on a "warm" seat because it's all about winning, and we haven't been recently. The Super Bowl definitely bought him a few years though.

This had to be done. The offense was stagnant and the players looked clueless and lethargic. Now, some of that has to be on Harbaugh, who has cost us the last two games, basically by himself. I don't see him surviving much longer, assuming we miss the playoffs again. Too many critical coaching errors.

Good: Running game (T. West) and Steve Smith, Sr.; Honorable Mention to Tucker who continues to impress.

Bad: Late-game defense and play-calling on the last drive.

Ugly: Offensive Line/pass protection.

Sad to see him go, but it was inevitable following West's performance and the return of Dixon. I wish him well!!

Yea well Cinci's bad in terms of record right now. Dont hear anyone knocking Pitt for only beating Cinci and Washington who are a combined 2-4 right now and get blown out by the Eagles... AZ is 1-2 right now with losses to a JG led NE and a "bad" Buffalo team. 

Bad in terms of record maybe but definitely not bad.

 

They're the Steelers! The media disregards their flaws and anything else that doesn't prop them up as potential Super Bowl champs. Facts don't matter.

I keep seeing everyone saying "bad teams." 

Bad teams dont blow the Cardinals out. 2 straight weeks and the Bills have put up over 30 pts. They barely managed 7 against us.

Clevelands bad, sure. But theyre worse with RGIII and Kessler at QB.... with McCown theyre actually half decent. So we've faced the best version of the Browns thus far this season.

And the Jags arent bad. Theyve made mistakes, but they played GB tough and probably shouldve beat them. They played horribly against SD, but look at what Pitt just put up against the Eagles. Philly's a surprise so far, but theyre not world beaters and they made Pitt look silly. I dont hear anyone saying the Steelers are a bad team just bc of that performance.

 

We beat 2 good teams, and 1 not so good team. We just happened to make 2 good teams look pretty bad.

Bad in terms of record... of course, no game in the NFL is ever a cakewalk going into it. Any given Sunday.

I don't think there are any "trap" games... we lost to them last year. We won't forget that. We're at Home. I think the offense finally gets on track and we win 24-13.

I can't figure this team out, but I'll always take a sweep! If we can go 3-3 this week, we should get in to the dance!

Let's go, O's!!

The Defense and Special Teams stepped up big-time when needed most. Our 4th quarter and end-of-game Defense has been stout. Yes, against "bad" teams, but we were losing to bad teams last year. So, a definite improvement there.

The running game continues to struggle, along with the rest of the offense, but if Wallace secures that TD catch, I think that changes the complexion of the game. Looking forward to seeing Dixon out there soon!

Offensive line had too many penalties and got beat way too much for my liking, but they're still a work in progress... that'll happen with 2 Rookies out there.

Overall, how can we not be thrilled to be 3-0 and in sole possession of 1st place? Better than the alternative!

Jimmy's still recovering from his foot surgery (screws removed: http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/baltimore-ravens/ravens-cb-jimmy-smith-having-surgery-remove-screws-foot). He'll be fine, and he's been playing pretty well. He's the least of our worries.

I think Aiken should be used more . 

Was he even targeted yesterday? I don't get it!

Good: Mike Wallace, the Defense after the 1st quarter, Dennis Pitta, and Justin Tucker (FGs and high kickoffs). Honorable Mention to Michael Pierce!

Bad: The first quarter generally (and the offense for most of the first half).

Ugly: The Browns uniforms. I mean, seriously?

I am soooooooooooooooooo glad we didn't get this guy... This guy is a train wreck.  He shows up late after not signing his deal.  Now he's got a hamstring.

"So he had a nagging hamstring injury. He missed last week. Hasn't even practiced in full pads yet. That is a major problem. Not gonna play until he practices in full pads maybe once or maybe more. It's not gonna be Joey Bosa this week -- the hope is for Week 3. But even that's not guaranteed."

Totally agree! And you know his teammates are fed up too.

We have to figure out how to skip Miley's starts moving forward... we can't afford it at this point.

KG is balling right now and is showing us #1 stuff. If he keeps it up, we'll have a very formidable 1-2 punch come October!

I'm glad Perriman is back at practice... I can see him getting his first TD on Sunday

Perriman and Mosley are the most concerning. I was wondering about Perriman seeing only 20 snaps on offense as well. But, if he was hurt there was no indication in his locker room interview. He seemed very excited. So, it is just cautionary hopefully. Mosley not being at practice is very concerning as well. He is the defensive QB right now. Without him, the flow of our defense is going to be affected.

I'd say Weddle has become the vocal leader of the D and that "QB" as well. I've never seen our secondary look so in-sync, especially since Reed and Lewis left.

Schefter just tweeted "a slight setback: Ravens WR Breshad Perriman, who didn't practice today, is now dealing with a minor calf issue"

Yeah, just got the ESPN alert... I'm not concerned, unless he doesn't practice all week. I can see him missing a game. Sigh...

KG seems to have turned the corner recently... we need a good start from him today. Taking 2/3 would be huge! Let's go O's!
