It goes back to last year and even pre-season this year. Harbaugh even said in interview "I wish just once we could make a stop inside 2 minutes". We have been horrible in that situation.

Agree with some of your post, however, last year Jacoby Jones really didn't have "splash". He made very questionable if not stupid decisions on bringing the ball out on kick offs and miss handling punts. That is why he is still not here. Also, without a speedy receiver to take the top off the defense, the opposing defense knows exactly what we want to do and our receivers have a knack of not getting open quickly or even at all. Like Mom Gene said, this years team requires patience. It will get better, the question is when.

I agree Mom Gene. Aso, why is everyone looking for someone to blame? I thought this was a Team game??

We as an organization are well known for "collecting" draft picks. We usually will not trade to get a player if it cost us a draft pick and I am not just talking about aged veterans, I'm talking about in the draft itself or a player that might have been accused of something etc. The point here is with all the draft picks we accumulate including compensatory picks, we really do not have a lot to show for it. Holding on to 4th, 5th round or even later picks means nothing if the pick is a miss. Looking back over the previous 6 or 7 drafts, alot of those guys we picked aren't even in the league anymore. With players leaving because of free agency all the time thoise picks have to work out and we must find a better way to keep depth at major positions.

Have to disagree with you on this one. They should not be playing off receivers 10yds on 3rd down and 3 or 4. Watch the film and they do it all the time. Even if it was 3rd and long, they need to be good enough to line up against these receivers and hit them to disrupt the route. All they are doing now is lining up 10yds off and taking off as if every play is real deep. That's why other teams are completing whatever they want across the middle and quick down & outs. I don't know if it is the players or schemes that is the problem but which ever it is, it needs to get fixed.

Shake up coming?it should be, unless the team thinks that if the shake things up then it looks like they have given up on the season. At this point some changes are a must and it would seem to fall mostly on the Defensive side of the ball. Our offence is scoring enough points to win , but our defense is just terrible. I'm not sure if it is Pees, schemes or players. Something has really got to change. If Harbaugh had the guts to fire Cam Cameron late in the season right before playoffs, I wonder what is keeping him from making any moves now?

There are no easy games or definite wins or losses in the AFC North. Toughest division in football for a long time now.

People are saying that Yanda might leave just like Ngata. The difference is Ngata was "one" of the best where Yanda is "The" best. All backed up by performance stats. Teams just do not let "The Best" leave.IMO

If you say Ozzie dropped the ball, Hoe do you explain Carl Davis? Obviously Ozzie didn't drop the ball in getting depth.

Why put it on BR.com? Read the article, the information came from LaCanfore and Schefter. They just shared that information . Geez.

For what I have read and heard, Tate not a very good teammate. There is a reason that he left Seattle.IDK

I did read that expanding the roster is a go for 2016 season. They just haven't worked it out yet. Mcjacket would know better than I tho.

Every player that leaves us looks like that! lol. Different schemes, coaches, and chemistry. There is no place like B-more. We play like Ravens.

It really does hinge on Monroe, who no doubt must up his game. He needs to show us more than we have seen.

Agreed 100 %. Haven't heard it as a reason or excuse yet but as good as the young ones are on our front 7, we do miss Ngata. Teams do not fear running against us without Suggs or Ngata, but in a very short time, they will realize that we have one of the best D-lines for years (Hopefully) to come.

I really do not see Pitta coming back in week 6. Realistically, he may not be back at all. He may want to and the team may want him to, but the Doc's have the last say.

No how No way to afford him.

You gotta know that Ozzie has been on the phone for days. Problem is that there are no "proven-explosive game changers" out there that are available and that is probably not going to change until the off season.

Quite honestly a trade will probably be a must. The receivers that we currently have available just take way too long to get open, if they get open at all. Sad but true. Nobody doubts the fact that they can catch, although Marlon Brown does drop a lot of easy catches. the knock on them which if you watch, they just don't get open.

I read that Chicago is not going to get rid of Jeffrey. They are supposed to keep him as a building block. Forte on the other hand is another story. Looks like they are cleaning house, and they get Oakland this week.

On the Bell run its hard to believe that there was not a flag thrown. The offense actually tackled the defensive guy. All the yellow that has been thrown so far and they miss that. SMH

Davis came from Miami. He was out because he had surgery on I think his ACL or MCL.

Let's face it, Harbaugh's attitude is very understandable. He doesn't comment because he is pissed. He is tired of hearing about a guy who has not even stepped on the field yet. He only hears what he is told and realistically he owes us nothing. He is too busy trying to plan for the players that are actually playing, rather than worry about a guy that he has no idea when he is actually going to play. He is just mad and understandably so.

I agree with you. We can believe in our team all day long and say that we can still make the playoffs, many of us do think this. However, if the players themselves don't believe and they are unable to shake these losses, it's not going to matter what we think or say. GO RAVENS!
