Because if Porter got a penalty, then the winning field goal would have been that much harder and the Pitts could have actually lost! \sarc

Just noticed on PFF that 1) Toussaint had the second highest Steelers PFF score, 2) Jah Reid had the second highest Chiefs PFF score and 3) John Simon had the second highest Texans PFF score. So they are not good enough to be Ravens but are practically the best on other teams that made the playoffs. I think that's why some people have questions about the FO these days. I could be wrong.

I am not crying about how much athletes make. It was simply an observation. We are told Joe is a great competitor and he's all about winning. If he wants to win he could make sure that there is enough money for top notch OL & WR's. Then he is more likely to win and maybe even win himself a new car. Also, I work where i can grow the pie and make more for me and my co-workers. Joe works under a salary cap. The rules are different.

Flacco will make more in one year than i make in a life time. I hope he is smart enough to leave some on the table so we can afford a couple pro bowl receivers. They can only make him look even better.

Guess that puts a higher priority on pass rusher in the draft! Get well Suggs!

On Defense, we have solid players like Upshaw, D. Smith and great ones like Suggs, Doom & B Williams. Where we hurt is in the D backfield. That said I think it is more an issue of DB coaching first. We could use better DB coaching, a shut down corner and another pass rusher. That would put us on top defensively. Offense should be ok once everyone is healed. Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2015 is never heard from again.

Cap Casualties - I don't think letting Daryl Smith go is a wise move.

I'm not even going to imply i could do better than Ozzie. But i do wonder some times if trading back for extra picks is counter-productive. We end up with a lot of picks who end up being cut because we need to get down to a 53 roster. I think it would be better to have less picks, higher in the food chain, where we increase the odds of finding real talent. I know we find good people at all rounds of the draft, but odds are higher in the early rounds.

best thing we can do is get some thorough studies on injury prevention.

It takes a team!

Last ride?

So we want to see Mallet's strong arm. Problem is we have no deep threat to test out that arm.

Good work, guys. Congratulations!

Agreed. He needs to be judicious and learn when to push for more and when to call the play dead.

"Reid kept the Ravens Elvis Dumervil from registering either a sack or a quarterback hit. Most in Baltimore probably can imagine Reid as the answer to any question but to his great credit that he kept working hard as he struggled here. That hard work has paid off." So how come his hard work did not pay off here? Is it better coaching that allowed Jah Reid to hold off Doom?

I love a fake punt when it's 4th and a couple and not in your own red zone. Keep calling it, but at the right time. p.s. don't ever wear those steeler colored pants again - ever!

I often wish we would fake the punt on 4th & 2 or 3. But doing it on 4th & 9? Maybe the pants were giving Harbaugh a brain aneurysm.

Should have done the Double Check on that one. Please, don't ever do it again.

When you chalk it up to the "football fates", you get what you ask for. Sure it may be bad luck, but if you don't look down every avenue to find the root cause, you are just a victim. I don't think the all time greats think like that.

Timely article in USA Today about injury prevention. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2015/12/16/mlbs-next-frontier-injury-prevention/77412998/ Not sure how the baseball effort translates to football.

Finally! Don't forget to look into nutrition as well.

Who in the front office has a thing for castoffs from the Houston Texans?

Seriously, can we look at our conditioning/training program? If we are going to spend bucks to sod the field since it is safer, shouldn't we just look at conditioning? How many years have we stuffed the IR ward now?

Come on, man!! We have no healthy tight end, except Ozzie. And I'm just assuming he's healthy.

Renner!
