Steelers catch a MAJOR break with Luck not playing. That was a very winnable game for the Colts who have been playing well lately. Bummer.

OK the play is getting better. The Ravens looked like they belonged on the same field as the Cowboys, BUT the penalties are killing this team. Not injuries , but mistakes. I've seen more drive killing penalties on this Ravens team then ever before that has to stop.

Few keys for them to not only win the division , BUT win a couple of games in the playoffs.
1. Jimmy Smith has to get healthy. I say without AJ Green rest Jimmy this week.
2. CLEAN UP THE DRIVE KILLING PENALTIES.
3. O LINE has to play together like that one drive where they run blocked and pass protected really well.
4. Get Doom back and put more pressure on QBs
5. Get at least some yards on punt returns. Been more fair catches this year then usual.

Overall the team has some promise just need to clean things up and get healthy.

I've been REALLY hard on the Ravens this year, with good reason I might add. This game against Dallas in big D is an eat CROW game for me, IF they get a W or play really tough game I'll be happy to eat crow. Strength vs Strength. Love these kinda of match ups. Go get a W guys. Time is now.

The defense is good NOT great. Still NO pass rush against a team in sync Ravens would be burned all day. The offense is a joke. No flow what so ever. Going into the heart of their schedule still seeing an 8 - 8 season maybe 7 - 9.
Where would this team be without Wallace and Tucker. I bet Thursday night will be a very ugly win.

Who cares if it's ugly or not. Stop griping. We won. That is what's important. Put your crystal ball away and wait til the end of the season to know our record of wins and losses.

I'll "gripe" all I want. I'll put away my crystal ball if you get your head out of the sand. Also what's this "WE" won , I was sitting on my couch no where near the field sames as you I might add. I'm a 'fan" not a player or employee. I'm entertained for a couple of hours a week then I either voice my pleasure or displeasure with the product that I watched. Again "our" record. YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE TEAM.

Whoa, Yanda has not hit the wall yet. He is just trying to do too much and is playing next to a weak center. In 2013 he got a lot of penalties playing next to Gino Gradkowski, and he is a sub for Carolina

I agree , Jeremy is weak and Wagner is weak as well. Yanda is doing too much. Love Yanda.

O LIne stinks no matter who's out there. NO athleticism what so ever.Yanda I'm afraid is done IMO. GREAT GREAT player but father time has caught up to him. The rest are weak and nasty streak.

Steve is NOT back at practice ....

Really bummed the Steve is back at practice. Ravens truly need him on the field. Only guy with any fire.

Well looking at things IMO the Ravens are playing for pride and jobs at this point. Looking at the schedules the I see Steelers at best losing 5 or 6 games. Bengals losing 7 games and are beloved Ravens losing 9 games. I had them at 5 - 2 at the BYE that didn't happen so I see 7 - 9 at best and NO PLAYOFFS once again .............. Major Rebuild from top to bottom IMO.

It won't matter. 6 - 10 at best. The team is bad.

That's your story and you're stuck with it. I hope they make you a big fat liar, don't you?

i would love for that to happen.

It won't matter. 6 - 10 at best. The team is bad.

Just watched Final Drive. Keep saying the Ravens goals are still right there in front of them , true , BUT they could easily be 0 -7 and are playing worse each week not better. Games with the Steelers, Cincy, Pats, Cowboys. right there I see 5 loses to go with their 4 losses already. The season is over , this year play for a high pick. Hate to say it cuz I like Harbs , BUT he's overrated as a coach.

Heres an idea Stop running the chuck&duck offense we have ran for 2 straight losing years. Somebody at the castle has to have the nerve to see what fans see...40 passes a game is not a winning formula. Its not our identity. Smashmouth football is. Running it 30x a game is

BE running into a brick wall 30x the O line is weak. No KO No Yanda ,
Jeremy should be released, Wagner is soft , Stanley is MIA , Urshel should be a professor , Jansen is the only one that plays with heart too bad is isn't very good. Then there is Juan, horrible.

One last thing what is truly wrong with Yanda , Doom & Stanley.

coattails

Bottom line is this the Ravens have struggled since Week 1. Easily could be
0 - 7. Harbs & Flacco rode the curtails of Ray Lewis , Ed Reed , younger Suggs & a younger Yanda. The team is bad that is fact since the super bowl. I'm done til the team puts a better product on the field.

I still can't get out of my mind when Flacco signed his extension and showed off his signing bonus check to guys like Cap and a couple others ...........who does that ?

NFL = a good nap zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Absolutely embarrassing . No passion. No coaching. No players. I'm done with the NFL this year and maybe forever. Bad product on the field all the way around. Just my 2 cents.

Elite ? please . Joe's 3rd tier at best.

POLL for the board: What are the chances the Ravens come out of their BYE like a new and improve team and string some wins together ?

I say 5%

Next line of work: Harbs motivational speaker , Ozzie retirement , Pees retirement, Marty high school coach, Flacco stay at home dad.

Make matters worst ,
Ravens have no cap space next year , BUT the rest of the division has a ton.

Take away the gift from the Jets punter, Ravens score a pathetic 6 points. AFC North isn't still in reach. The Steelers and Bengals will sweep the Ravens easily.
The team is bad from top to bottom. MVP of the team Tucker. Flacco is stealing money and will set the Ravens back for years.

We sucked last year but swept the Steelers as for the Bengals they just own us lately.

that was last year ...........
