Seems like our needs are Center, Right Tackle, Running Back, Outside Linebacker, Wider Reciever and Cornerback. And if Webb is released we need a safety. So we have needs all over the place. I would focus on improving the offensive line and get another legit cornerback. If you have offensive line that can protect the quaterback you will have a productive offense. And when Jimmy Smith was out the defense was hurting.

I really see zero point for calling assistant coaches to be fired. Harbaugh is the head coach whomever he selects as coaches is fine with me. He should be responsible for the results along with Ozzie. The team just fired Tresmsn and now they want his replacement fired?

I would let the new head coach pick the defensive coordinator. It makes no sense to fire the coordinators but keep the head coach. What kind of coordinator is going to sign on with Harbaugh on the hot seat?

I would say Stanley. Has the team even won a game without him playing this year?

Arthur Brown, Kindle, Correa, Dan Cody. Whomever is in charge of drafting linebackers in the second round needs to be shown the door.

ESPN Eugene Monroe Article

Different demographic of fans between NFL and NBA.

All those things existed last year. None of them explain the dramatic decrease this year. It is clearly the Anthem protests. but for some reason people try and search for other reasons.

Yeah he is making 25 percent of the country angry at the NFL. If he doesn't want to stand for the Anthem he should stay in the locker room until it is over. I really don't really care whether he wants to stand for the anthem or not. But it is hurting the game. The NFL is sitting still while they destroy their brand. And the other 75 percent are going to decrease because one thing people like about the NFL is discussing the games with others at work the next day. If your co-workers aren't talking about the game on Monday morning you might lose interest as well. I have no idea why the league is allowing this to continue.

I am saying how is that an argument? Everyone else is doing something horrible it is OK that we are doing it too? Players should not be playing with opioids in their system.

I don't follow other teams. I follow the Ravens. This guy was a Raven. I don't think everyone else is doing it so I was just following the crowd defense.

Yeah he decided not to play because of the pain and injuries involved he was last a Raven. Like I said I don't care about the Marijuana aspects other than the team giving him 10 different drugs at one time and then the league suspending players for Marijuana.If the league wants to continue to ban Marijuana I don't really care. But I think everyone can agree opioid addiction is a big problem in this country. Surprised the league/Ravens not only don't test for this but are supplying the players with the drugs. The point is it is about the Ravens. The Ravens gave him drugs and wanted him to play injured not other NFL teams.

I think bad news for sports all around. Most sports networks are supported by cable subscribers who never watch the channels. For example I was reading how the Wizards averaged 25,000 viewers a game but they were getting paid 30 million a year for their broadcast rights. Makes no sense at all. Comcast Sports is charging every cable and satellited subscriber in the DC/Baltimore Area $4.50 to have that channel in their bundle. Sports have leeched off society for a while. With taxpayer built stadiums. Forcing people to pay for sports channels most cable subscribers dont' even realize exist. Just think it is ridiculous how the Ravens get a free stadium yet make millions upon millions a year and pay Flacco what 25 million a year? If you can afford that salary you can afford to pay for you own stadium.

The Marijuana part wasn't what I found interesting. I was more interested in how the Ravens are pushing players to play hurt and giving them Vicodin. And how Monroe was punished for sitting out a game with a high ankle sprain.. And his concussion incident. I wonder why this was moved to the off-topic forum. This is Ravens related not off-topic at all.

The drafting has been poor and the we have made mistakes extending guys who we shouldn't have. We should have gone in full rebuild mode this off season. I guess we will have to do it after this season. Hopefully the front-office wakes up and Ozzie takes control of the draft or hires someone who knows what they are doing. Otherwise we will become the Browns.

Broncos fired John Fox after he went 13-3, 13-3 and 12-4. If the Ravens go 5-11 Harbaugh is gone. You can't fill the stands with a team that is losing all the time.

No but unless they get their offensive line healthy the losing will continue.

If you fire offensive coordinator and their is no improvement next one to go is the coach and if still no improvememt next it is the GM. If we end up winning less than 7 games I can't see Harbaigh keeping his job. Ozzie and the rest of the front office could be gone after the following year if we have another 6 wins or fewer season. Three straight pathetic seasons and tickets won't be a hot commodity anymore.

Wallace, Elvis and Webb will be cut saving 16 milllion. With the 14 million the team has doesn't seem like they will have any problems with the cap.

I guess Tresma wasn't the problem. I was against giving Flacco the extension as it was just kicking the can down the road. Anyway I missed the game today as I took a walk in the park with my daughter. Looks like I dindt miss much. I thought with Geno Smith starting we would get the win.

Coaching.

I had no problem with any the previous calls. But if you run three times and can't score why do you think you would score on the 4th play running the ball. Seems to me even if you want to be aggressive that wasn't the place to do it.

I don't really care whether he gets fired or not. I would be less inclined to fire him if he hadn't cleaned house after the Super Bowl win. He didn't have any loyalty to his players who gave him success; why should I have loyalty to him now? It's not like he is an offensive or defensive genius.

Really irrelevant of who is better. Flacco has a big contract and isn't going anywhere. Sort of like asking which woman would you prefer over your wife.

Didn't we have the same thread for Aurthur Brown for 3 years straight? I am sure if he was good enough he would be playing.
