No worries. I think more people should look at the whole body of work that Harbaugh has done and realize that he has done a remarkable job with this team considering (record aside). To just throw hands in the air and say "Fire him" is not what the man deserves. IMO.

Too soon

Should but some don't. That is where a good coach like Harbaugh comes into play. Think about how hard it is to keep a young 22-23 year old with a few million dollars in his pocket motivated. Harbaugh has these guys still believing in themselves and going out there with no quit whatsoever. My hat is off to the coach for the job he has done.

I agree. What is even funnier to me is when we cut him and the Patriots signed him, Bellicheck stood at the podium and touted Melvin big time saying that they wanted him right out of college, how skilled he was and so on. Now they cut him, and that just goes to show that Ozzie and company know what they are doing. People shouldn't forget that.

I agree. Take away the fact that I am a Raven fan and really any fan that must spend all that money to attend a NFL game should not be subjected to that kind of incompetence from the officials. We deserve better and more than that. You are right. the league must do something to fix what is more and more a serious problem.

I went to the game in Miami. First and foremost Hats off to the loyal Raven following!!! Way more of us then Dolphin fans. Even on T.V my sister in law said that the "Chant" could be heard over everything. There was a huge sea of purple. Congrats to us!! As for the game, I can tell you it was a very bad officiated game. I was sitting at the end zone (field level) on the 4th and about 6 inches down and must say that it was a very bad spot. It was for sure a first down. Of course there was no replay shown being we were the visiting team, but sitting there it was a no brainer but not called. As for the phantom Pass Interference on Brown? That's just a 'Cmon Man" never happened, the guy just fell down. No replay was shown on the so called Off sides Kick six either but I didn't see it. All in all the worst officiated game I have ever attended, but had a lot of fun with ALL my fellow Raven fans!!We travel well!

Have to disagree (but not neg). It is not the record that he is being "Fantastic" for, it's the rare feat of keeping a football ball team positive when all odds are against you, it's playing hard to the last seconds of the game and so on. Coaching. Now if the record ends up 6-10 or 7-9 and ALL games are still 1 score games...That's still impressive and a Fantastic job. Considering.

Normally around the NFL when teams have a bad record, and star players and starters get hit with the injury bug, and games being lost in the mere last seconds of the game, The teams get down on themselves and it is very noticeable that the effort level becomes non existant. That, in turn usually leads to coaches losing the team and the locker room becomes toxic. None of this has happened and that is a total tribute to Harbaugh. Even at 4-7 he has this team beliveing even when most of the football world including Raven's fans have lost faith. Just watching the effort and emotion of the players Monday night should make you swell up with pride. It did me. Not too long ago, lots of people on this website were screaming for Harbaugh to be fired. That is hard to believe. Harbaugh has this team playing as hard as ever with NO QUIT anywhere to be seen. Now that is coaching. Great job Harbs!! Go Ravens.

I agree with Josh Charles that this Ravens team, with a poor record, tons of injuries to major starters and don't forget all the haters, has not given up. Still has Tons of pride. This team will never play down just to get a draft pick! Never. We wouldn't have it any other way. I have to say what it seems nobody else is saying--What a great job Harbaugh is doing to keep this team together and motivated. Say what you will but that is quite hard to do in this NFL. Just look around. Way to go Harbs!

What indication is there that the Ravens Defense has not gotten better than 7 weeks ago? (The last time we played Cleveland) I think it has proven to be better than it was.

I do not think that we will be as "terrible" as people are making us out to be. What people are not saying is that Schaub will be throwing to players that he has been practicing with all along. Timing will not be an issue. Schaub , with our receivers, have been taking 2nd team and scout team snaps together. Contenders? No. Good? No. Just not as horrible as people say. They will not get blown out Monday night. That being said, Cardinals, Seahawks, different story. JMO

We are just not a good football team. We are not what people blindly predicted. Yes we lost by close margins but if we were a good team, we would have never been in the position to lose those game being that in each one of them we had plenty of chances and did nothing with them. A good team wouldn't have put themselves in that position to lose. Missed kicks, dropped touchdowns, bad timeouts, dropped int's etc. The list goes on and on of just how bad we have been. We just are not accustomed to this kind of season or this record, that is why people are at a loss. This stuff happens. We will get over it. This is going to be a very interesting off season. Lots of decisions to make..Important ones. Go Ravens.

Carl Davis has been good when he gets in. It seems that getting the start over Williams and Jernigan is going to be hard.

Agree. Especially the duo of Fisher and Gregg Williams, nobody is shocked by the allegations. Even though Fisher sounds surprised, believe that he probably has been expecting the criticisms.

It's the team with the worst record that gets the claim. (I think)

He's still going to get his 4 million per.

Everybody should just chill on the Kaepernick idea because it is not going to happen. Sure, stranger things have happened but this surely won't. Harbaugh connection or not, what was written was that Kaepernick was a bad locker room guy. So much that the players even said that they wanted a change. To me, that's the main reason not to bring him here along with the fact that he just isn't that good and he would be very expensive. We just aren't a run option kind of team either.

He is saying that Kaepernick could be had by trade as a Back up to Flacco not as his replacement. It's fantasy because Kaepernick would go somewhere to start.

Explains a lot. He really needs to get a tougher mindset though. What's going to happen if he gets boo'd at some point? Just saying. As a pro it comes with the territory. Look at what a fragile mindset did to Vince Young.

I'm sure he has. What? just because he doesn't come out and blast his coaches in the media does that mean that he doesn't come down on him? Head Coaches just don't do that. Good example is the Saints. As of the last Press conference which was just hours before Rob Ryan got fired, Peyton didn't say a word. Actually he said that Rob Ryan was still his DC. So if people are waiting for Harbaugh to come out in the media and degrade his coaches , it's never going to happen. You won't hear anything until something is actually done.

Agree. Nobody just comes in and becomes the next Ray or Ed Reed. Especially a rookie. It takes a few years to build to that. There is no crystal ball as to who that person can and will be. Besides, Ray and Ed are Highlanders--There can only be one! Lol

Not a dig on you but The whole "Torrey Smith" thing is really getting old. As a matter of fact, that is one of the smarter moves that we have made was to let him go. No way he is or was worth the money he wanted and thought he deserved.

I wouldn't say that there are no gifts in the NFL. I think we gave a big one to the Jags yesterday. lol

True. Correct call. Tucker is 2-5 on fg's of 50+yds

That was just a "lol" kind of post to let people know that being "Oh! we get a Top 5 pick" is not going to fix us. Point being that this is going to take a while to fix.
