Who would you be interesting in trading for and what would you be willing to trade. I mean bringing in one good player isn't going to make this team that much more competitive at this point. And to get a really good player your talking top draft picks in rounds 1-3. I am not willing to give up those picks. Maybe, if I you thought we were one great player away from making a Super Bowl run, but I don't think anyone thinks thats the case. And Kniles Davis??? cmon man The packers could have waited another week and picked him up off waivers. He has a total of 1 carry this year for -2 yards. Its a ridiculous argument, which seem to be your calling card in this forum. if we could trade for a cb or safety better than what we already have aside from jimmy and eric for a 2nd or 3rd i would do it in a heartbeat because the front office has blown those picks in recent years I wholeheartedly agree. I have the feeling that KC will turn out to be one of those blown picks smh. You simply don't draft a supposed pass rusher in the second round because he has a "good motor". You make that selection in the 4th or later. but releasing brooks is really haunting us right now. I have no doubt he would have made that play on OBJ. the way he played in the last preseason game should have been enough but no we go with sorry K. Lewis i agree.....and no one releases good DB's

I liked the call to go for it. He's right if you cant pick up a first down when you're 4 and 1 then thats a freaking problem. A big problem. Us kicking that FG will not declare us winning the game. The game is called how the game flows. I'm quiet sure different calls would've been made and it probably wouldn't have been the same outcome. I almost can guarantee it. You also can force guys back. That stuff takes time. As much as we want those guys back, if the doctors say their not ready, they can't play. The NFL is different now. You're right, flacco can't throw 40+ but what do you expect when we keep getting 3rd and longs and penalties set us back? You have to throw! lmao

I agree. That last drive they were not aggressive...at...all and that really bothered me. I get Joe is calm and cool which is need but you have to be more upbeat. Why are we getting delay of games causing Harbs to use T/O's? Come on man

OMG those days of Reed and Lewis are GONE. Stop living in the past. Even then we had losing seasons with those two. We have alpha dogs. Suggs and I'm stamping Weedle from how he told it like it was in the press conference. Offense, Yanda, Joe and SSS. No one likes losing and lets not forget we have a fairly new o-line. Joe can't get the ball out if he does not have the protection and you can tell hes not comfortable.

No disrespect but it's really annoying when fans continue to complain about the money that Flacco is getting. I've been a Raven's fan for a long time and yes we are a winning org but times like these does happen. Now if you take a look at the team we had when we won the SB, some retired and the majority isn't doing ANYTHING for other teams. Some aren't even playing in the NFL anymore. Name 5 players from that SB team making a huge difference on their new team. K.O, maybe McPhee. Why do you want to keep any of them? Our defense wasn't great when we won the SB ranking maybe a hair outside of the top 10. We have more weapons on offense than we've ever had in Ravens history! We're hurting on offense because of the constant miscues and penalties. The online is young on the left side. Two starting rookies and now the entire oline is out except for our starting center. Does that not make a difference in keeping Joe upright so he can get the ball out of his hands on time and in rhythm? Joe deserved every bit of money he received. Look at his freaking resume. The only thing he doesn't have is a pro bowl which technically he has one from being called up but who cares about that crap. When the post season comes around, Joe plays his best football. WE ALL KNOW THAT! It's nothing new. Your rather have a Peyton Manning regular season or a Joe Flacco post season? I'll take average joe during the regular season any day if he turns into post season joe come jan. Now theirs absolutely nothing wrong with our GM or Coach so please kill that idea. Do i need to remind you the players that we've drafted? Stanley LT playing lights out before the injury, A Lewis was playing well to, TJ, B Williams, CJM, T Young, MPierce and we brought in Weedle is the best ranked safety right now, Watson before he was hurt, ohh Crockett, bought in DOOM, Zack Orr and countless others. Our def was ranked top 3 for 4 straight weeks last i check and was number 1 in the league. You cant blame everything on the coach. Trestman needed to go because just like in Chicago, he was not balanced and we play balanced football. Yesterday play calling was pretty good and will improve but we need to get our oline back. Players have to take responsibility in their actions to. Changing a GM or coach is not going to cause them to stop holding guys. That's a technique issue on that players part. Their preaching it, they have to execute or be replaced. Harbs is one of the best coaches in the league. Be grateful. We're not Cleveland, LA, Chicago or any of those teams with bad management and coaching....stop pretending to be please.

Exactly. Terence West had 3 chances from the 1 and couldn't get in. If Juice makes any kind of block, he scores on the 4th down play. How are you a fullback and can't block 1 single guy against Goalline defense - pathetic by both backs in the backfield. If Juice makes that block. West is in. Period. And we could say that about 3 other plays on that goal line too. But yeah, I'd have made that call too. I may have gone for it but I would have never called a trips right hb pitch left. Best chance would have been jumbo set double TE power I up the gut!!! Never would have called a play putting my HB 5 yards deep to receive a pitch!!! that play you don't call on fourth....if anything it should've been after the qb run....should've called a play action....the lack of play action calls is really PMO.....the gmen defense over committed on a couple of run plays that could've turned into huge gains and maybe TD's.....did they forget how we won the SB?

your Space11jams.....your lol

It's no reason why you're top corner doesn't shadow one of the best WR in the game. Period. We saw what that did when Pitt played Washington. No reason. Smith needs to follow OBJ wherever he goes. No exception.

true....trash talking shouldn't have anything to do with it though if it's just going to effect his game in a bad way

he said trash talking isn't his game....

We'll the team was dismantled last year so you couldn't do it then. We won the first 3 games so he probably did want to do it at that time either. The last two games was lost because of the offense failing to move the ball effectively when we had both chances to close out the game. We literally gave the skins and raiders the game both weeks on offense. That was the kicker.

How about...Are you a Ravens fan and been following all the games? How many playoffs games, regular season games Harbs bring us? including championship and Lombard trophy? The main problem here is fan like you, knee jerk reaction for every single obstacle..... @Sarah Ellison thank you for your LFW article and I am always looking forward into reading it every morning.... How many playoff games has Harbaugh been to since the Superbowl win? The answer is 1. The problem is the Head Coach. I am not calling for his job however. I just want some power taken from him and more given to the offensive and defensive coordinators because he is not an X and O coach. He has no feel for the game. He will make a good team manager but as an NFL football coach, I think we got the wrong Harbaugh. John is a politician. He says the right thing and smiles in the faces of us fans. He has deep ties to the Baltimore community.. and all that is good but we need a football coach. This article is an insult to the intelligence of us the fans. Are you kidding me right now? Last year we were hit with one of the biggest injury bugs in Ravens history. The year before we won the SB, was we not 1 FG kick away from moving on to the SB was it? Did we not lose 3 OC in two years of winning the SB? Now 4? Let me explain to you what a coach does. You can scream about knowing the X's and O's when it comes to play calling but if you can't motivate your guys, to do and play well as a HC, then you have no business being a coach. John has a vision and he shares his vision with the team. He allows coaches and players to be them selves and express themselves. He's a excellent motivator. That's his job. He keeps everything together, he's the glue. Have you not seen the many coaches that were fired because they lack that fire to rally a football team? Chip Kelly, Rex Ryan just to name a few guys. Why you think they stay in the media as terrible coaches but excellent X's and O's guys lol. Know the difference before you speculate. I'll take John ANY day over those guys because he's a leader. He has those guys believing they can pick up Thor's hammer with no problem. Give me that guy if he makes me feel that invincible as a player because that makes you play that much harder. Don't get me started, please lol.

This doesn't make any sense. If any team has to start their backups if not all they'll be in the same predicament. I don't understand what your argument is. Last year, our entire offense with the exception of two players where gone. Almost all our CB's where down. I think its a given that the team wasn't going to be great. Especially with an unbalanced OC calling plays. Our oline is young on the left side and we're banged up. What do you expect? Give them credit for toughing out the 3 wins. Honestly, the piss poor play calling on offense is the reason we lost the last two games because offense had the ball. You can see it all over the offense face. Couldn't get in field goal range on the Oak are you kidding? With a poor run defense and we're about 15 yards away? PA, run and work the sidelines. Nope, lets call plays with passes in the middle of the field. Trestman play calling handcuffed our offense and now that he's gone, we'll see just how good we can be. West broke runs on that hurt oline. Your argument about the injury bug holds no weight because that's any team that looses their star players.

Agree but even at it's basic the OL failed. Ok, we didn't have our starters but everyone knows it's next man up, if that's our OL with that philosophy then we are screwed. If the OL doesn't play better then forget about the O getting better. It all starts with the protection. This is typical in the NFL. It's highly uncommon to have starter potential sitting on your bench. They will be somewhere else starting for another team getting paid good money. That's the nature of the game.

Please leave with those comments.

If Trestman can't get it together, I don't see him sticking around much longer. We were better off grabbing Gase or Norv Turner who has the Viking offense clicking with Bradford.

He didn't get that role this year because other backs like West performed better than him in camp and in the preseason. He technically was the "starter" for three weeks, but had a nearly equal timeshare with West, mostly because West performed incredibly well in camp and earned that role. I mean frankly, fans should have seen this coming as far back as like 5-6 months ago. We had Forsett and Buck Allen as the primaries last season with an injured Taliaferro (who is technically still here), and yet we go out and use a 4th rounder on Dixon AND add West and even Richardson into the mix. Theoretically, we really had like 5-6 guys potentially competing for that job. And out of that mix, we found out Taliaferro was hurt, Richardson sucks, Allen is average, and West and Dixon are really good. The real question is... if Dixon hadn't gotten hurt in the preseason, would Forsett have even been on the roster come week 1? We will never know, but given how quickly we moved on, I'd say its certainly possible. Harbs said he was having an excellent camp. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/John-Harbaugh-Justin-Forsett-Playing-As-Well-As-His-Pro-Bowl-Year/0a258fdf-6a11-4895-86e4-1318a7930b71 As for preseason: Forsett only played game 3 as he was deemed a starter at the time it looks like?? I have no idea WHAT happened to get to where we are now regarding why he was cut NOW when clearly Harbs liked what he saw from Justin prior to the season. But Maybe Kubiak will grab him now that he's on the market. Camp and live games are two different things. Forsett is an awesome guy but he was terribly slow and couldn't make the first guy miss. Once he was touched he was down and you can't have that in your RB's. Every yard is important. Once West started, first 100 yard rush for the season. Even Allen played pretty well when he ran the ball. Dixon will be the feature back and Justin knew that. He asked to be release so it wasn't the Ravens surprising him. It was a mutually agreement between both parties.

I don't think Harbs is carrying 3 RB's in each game. I think we'll see Dixon and West starting on Sunday if Dixon is healthy enough

well i think we have a week left for waller right?

I didn't think it will happen in the middle of the season. i thought he would be released at the end of the season but roster spots played a large roll in the decision I'm guessing. Hoping he does well wherever he goes. He's a class act.

Forsett was cut. Wishing him the best.

that's a stretch....Aiken had two passes thrown to him all game if i'm not mistake. This game was lost by the inconsistent play calling of the OC. Why did we give up on the run game the 1st quarter of the game? If we kept plugging away in the run game earlier, who knows what type of game that would be. We had the ball back and West broke a big run. Instead of continuing to feed him the ball because the run offense was clicking, we pass 3-4 times and threw the game away. If they wanted to pass, at least hit a PA play. Oak def was bitting on the run, that would've freed someone up and flacco would've hit him. NO, we passed, passed, passed and made it so obivious. None of our OC accept Kubiack had deception written in the play calling. We're so predictable it's ridiculous.

wasn't dumb....he put trust in the defense that they would not let them gain 15+ yards in one play which they allowed...that's the defense fault...it's 3rd and very long...how do you let them regain all them yards?

The rule would be changed to accommodate Robert Kraft when did west fumble the ball? i don't remember that

many agree,i'd say like everywhere he went there was great fantasy numbers every week,but no real scoring and no real winning,wer'e turning into the BEARS and FLACCO is turning into CUTLER. I think that's a little far. Cutler is down right aweful. Flacco just isn't getting any protection and the run/pass game plan isn't balanced
