Renner has improved, but his arm is so weak. Even the short throws look like the-little-pass-that-could.

At least these guys probably won't be playing much in that game if at all. Stop with the flags.

I know the secondary can't cover, but why is tackling so difficult? Are they all secretly nursing injuries?

Oh his overall play has been horrid, but I just meant that particular incident.

I like your optimism.

I'm not going to blame Schaub for that. He had no time at all. This line needs improvement.

Schaub literally walked into that sack.

You feel confident about the receivers?

You make a good point. Schaub is just warming up. As badly as he's playing, I have to wonder if he will make the cut. He probably has an expensive contract that will make it somewhat inconvenient.

Schaub looks like he's in mid season form.

For sure. He also asked Harbs about the fumble and Harbs said something like "Well, you can't fumble the football, you have to hold onto it." And finally there was a question about the 2 minute defense which earned an equally abrupt response. After one of those last two, Harbs said he'd be happy to answer a good question.

What is with the tackling (or lack thereof) on this team? For the last two years they have been suspect at best.

That's pretty much the story of the franchise. The interviewer foolishly asked about the fight and the disagreement between Harbs and Gruden. Harbs said he wasn't going to talk about that and asked if there were any questions about football.

Well, as you said, the secondary players are not very good. Since that is the case, the Ravens are at a severe disadvantage during the final two minutes when teams playing from behind are even more likely to try to score quickly ie pass. That said, I'm a bit concerned about the lack of pass rush. You just can't have a sub-par secondary and front seven. If I understand correctly, any player can recover the ball, but they cannot advance it. So I guess the ball was "down" where Allen lost it which was outside of the endzone.

I can't freak out over a pre-season game, but I'm not encouraged either. The Ravens normally have something resembling depth, but as soon as they pulled some of the defensive starters, this whole game got out of hand.

Harbs is not happy. He had to have known that the first question would not get the juicy response he was looking for. It all went downhill from there.

These refs are completely incompetent. I know that any decision they make will be wrong. Edit: Except for that one. If you want to hold on to your job, hold on to the ball.

Please just take the lead into the locker room. Oh wait, it is just the pre-season after all. Despite Tucker's miss, they need the practice more than he does.

What in the world was that?

This defense is as predictable as Cam Cameron's offense. Hopefully, it won't continue in the real games. Harbs must be furious. I can only imagine his pre-halftime interview.

If the usual two minute trend continues, Baltimore will probably go into the locker room behind by one point after leading for so long.

The pre-season is not the time to panic. Unless your starting qb gets injured or something... provided his name is not RGIII.

This preseason is like the early Harbaugh days: the refs just won't give Baltimore a break.

These refs are not competent and Baltimore has only one time out left and quite a bit of time on the clock. Besides, inside 50 is usually money so it probably seemed like a good idea.

I knew SSS was going to get ejected. What are the headlines going to be tomorrow?
