Same results offensively. Trestman fell on the sword...scapegoated as being another issue offensively. Guess what? Same results offensively! At some point, there has to be an acknowledgement that the team really isn't that good to overcome what they lack. Good teams find ways to win, bad teams find ways to lose. I heard that being said before.
Let the bashing begin. You've spoken too much truth for most of the board. OC wasn't the issue, TALENT is the issue.

I agree with you but at the end of the day it's their opinion. Everybody is entitled to it. Giving your opinion and asking questions should lead to what goes on here. We are right in the middle of the pack as a team and that's just what it is. Since you looked at my history, when have I ever said to fire, or cut somebody this year? Or when have I said we suck? I haven't but I still got the same backlash as if I did lol. All I'm saying is if you're gonna be a mod be a mod 100% and not just when it's convenient or when somebody has the same opinion as you.
Just now, Sami84 said:the RSF forum is a lot less sunshine and rainbows..MCjacket23 wouldnt last a second there. Here it seems denial is the name of the game
I know. I usually just look at these forums but I'm tired of seeing people disrespect others who they don't know just because of their opinion so decided to ruffle some feathers. Most of the homers here just hide behind the moderators power.
1 minute ago, rmcjacket23 said:Entirely possible. I think most realistic fans viewed this as an average team this season anyway, so pretty much right on schedule.
If I were to sit back and pick "wins and losses" at the beginning of the season, I'd have bet we would be 4-2 right now, so about a game behind where we need be.
However, I will say that when largely healthy, we are better than I expected we would be, specifically the defense.
For whats its worth... I'm not saying too many really good teams in the AFC and certainly not in our division. Patriots are the class of the conference as usual, and teams like Pittsburgh and Denver are good but obviously have flaws. Frankly, I think an 8-9 win team is going to get a wildcard spot this year.
Teams like Cincinnati, Buffalo, Baltimore, and KC are pretty much all the same to me. I think they're all pretty average teams.
Agree. It's refreshing to see that there's a few fans on here that aren't in denial. Average team, average coach, average talent, average record. We are 3-3. If it walks like a duck......

lol didn't think so. Thank you officer, anything else ?
Just now, January J said:If we weren't a good team we would be getting blown out. Were not bad at all. We have just failed to put together a complete game in all 3 phases. 3 losses in a row or not. The lead in the north is only one gane away as the entire north lost today. All of them a lot uglier than us- and we were down half our damn team.
The whole north losing today will keep the teams spirits up. Unfortunately we are about to hit the tough part of the schedule. We go 7-9 in my opinion.
8 minutes ago, Moderator 3 said:I reviewed your history. The bolded statement is flat out untrue.
I'm speaking recently, not 2012-13. Why was my thread closed then?? After this game, it would be flooded and you know it. And did you give warning points to the ones who personally attack people? Or only to ones who disagree with you? A guy literally just made a personal attack at Sami lol. But I'm sure you didn't see it right?
Just now, Militant X 1 said:Naw cause Rodgers stinking it up is rare while the Ravens doing so is regular.
True.
Just now, jboy19 said:Does anyone actually this that the injuries are not an excuse?
Honestly my dude, it's a valid excuse but this is football. Next man up. Nobody will care besides us unfortunately. I agree with you that injuries are screwing us 2 years in a row. Maybe our practices are too intense. It's not like it's paying off.
Just now, Moderator 3 said:Odd how you assumed that post was about you.
Not at all. I know it wasn't about me. Im speaking on what I've dealt with from just expressing my opinion in a thread that has been closed(Idk why). All I'm saying is it would be nice to be able to express your opinion without having mods throw their weight around when they disagree. I've gotten warning points for speaking my mind. And I've seen people (who don't know me) attack me personally(against the code of conduct)but it's all good because their opinion is the same as a mods. It's just the truth. And people wonder why our country is in the state it's in? It's crazy. At the end of the day none of us get a ring so we should have fun talking our team! Different opinions and all. And right now, we are an average team. 3-3!!
Smh this board is in denial.

Lose to redskins? Check
Fire OC? Check
Lose next game to Manning brother? Check
Three game Losing Streak? Check
Fans freaking out? Check.
Play team from new york week after manning Brother? Check...
I could see us winning this one. According to the trends we do
I sure hope we do. If this game wasn't a must win, the jets game forsure is. I don't like the matchup considering they have one of the best dlines in the league and our oline has 0 continuity right now. But I'll be rooting just like every week no matter how many flaws we have.
11 minutes ago, MTRavensFan said:Maybe if we were, we wouldn't have so many spoiled whiners. They'd be used to this.
It's crazy how asking questions and having opinions that aren't the same as yours is considered being "spoiled whiners." Yes at times people overreact but we are an average team right now with average coaching. We could be 6-0 and easily could be 0-6(which is why we are 3-3). It's all part of the deal. Let people live and stop being in denial.
27 minutes ago, LosT_in_TranSlatioN said:To be honest a lot of these fans deserve losing seasons. So I agree as well. They whine and complain about EVERYTHING and it's embarassing.
It's a game people and you have no power. Go do something else and take your negative BS somewhere else. It can't be healthy.
Lol this is considered whining and complaining. Hypocrite.
Probably in the doghouse somewhere.
Rodgers, Brady, rivers, brees, Carr, Big Ben, some would argue maybe even tyrod lol. I'm sure I'm missing a few.
9 minutes ago, JoeyFlex5 said:are you referring to the dropped drag pass? the one where he was running full speed laterally and flacco put the ball a half yard behind him?
yeah, total bust for dropping that incredibly difficult pass.
I agree man. Dude has barely any practice and still shows more flashes than any young receiver we have. And let's not forget the terrible "chuck the ball up with your eyes closed" pass that he made a great catch on during the first drive.
1 minute ago, usmccharles said:To me it look like West was being too patient and could have made a cut, I was wondering what he was waiting on. And I don't want harbs gone
I agree. But west was a boss all game. And he's more of a north south runner anyways. Harbs has overrated the talent we have. Simple as that. We aren't these high powered teams that should be taking chances like that. We play solid defense and need to take every point we can. It's just where we are right now.
1 minute ago, usmccharles said:It's sad that we can't trust our guys to score from the one yard line. Outside the QB sneak I'm good with the calls.
I feel like harbs just has confidence in his squad but because of a lack of TALENT they don't execute. It's just the truth. If we convert that TD, suddenly he's back in the good graces of everybody. Since everybody wants harbs gone, who do we bring in?

He actually flashed today. I think perriman will actually be okay, just not a star. He just needs to keep improving.
1 minute ago, LosT_in_TranSlatioN said:You know for a seinor your college you sure act like a freshman in high school.
Let's see. Perriman makes a spectacular play on his first play.. And we're heralding him to be a bust when one of his drops was when he was covered, the other "mishap" he had was a bad throw by Joe(happens), and the third one is the one that's indefensible. And you're calling him a bust after six games?
Oh and not only this, but give me more examples. Diggs? Most agree he was a first to second round talent marred by injuries and now he's lighting it up? Brown? Steelers WR coach. Good at developing them. Same goes for Bryant and Coates. Not too many others in our range that were considered to be elite.
Lol personal attacks again when we are on a Ravens forum but it's expected. Honestly, if you still disagree with what I've said after what you've seen then we might as well stop arguing. You probably still think we have one of the most talented teams in league don't you? Where did I say perriman was a bust??!!?!? That's everybody else. He flashed to me again today. You're a bit immature to be about what 50 or so?
1 minute ago, LosT_in_TranSlatioN said:Antonio Brown was drafted in the 6th round because he went to a smaller school and not everyone thought the game would translate for him. So the Steelers took a shot and since they're great at developing WRs he ended up becoming maybe the best WR in football..
Do your research
What is your point? Soooo thats your excuse as to why we can draft a good wr? Do your research. Receivers are drafted every year in rounds 4-7 that are better than any receiver we have on the team. Homer.
2 minutes ago, BmoreBird22 said:If a receiver of his caliber is routinely available in the 20's, we could talk, but even in 2014, the Ravens didn't have a shot at him.
Not my point. And receivers of his caliber have been found even after the first round. Antonio brown was drafted in round 6. Diggs in round 5. Everybody just keeps making excuses.
