    Based on what we've seen and depending on what happens in our last four regular season games (and hopefully any playoff game), do we keep Jim Caldwell as OC? If not, any candidates do we look at?

      Keep him for sure.

      In addition to everyone's answers, hopefully can get address our running game in the offseason by any means necessary. RR may never be the same guy we once knew and loved but if we can fix the running game next year, we'll easily make the playoffs providing our defense plays like this and we can score TDs.

      With job he did in last year's playoffs and SB, along with this year's issues, he may get another head coaching offer somewhere else. Either way, I wish him the best.

  2. DomMcRaven

    Does anyone know when Ozzie, Eric, Steve, and the rest of the FO have their annual press conference to talk about the offseason? I'm very eager in what they will say.

    1. allblackraven

      Coach said the other day they'll meet in Florida within couple weeks. I suppose "State of the Ravens" will be held shortly after.

    2. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      Oh ok thanks. I can't wait to hear what Ozzie has to say. He's no fool, he'll make sure that offense will get working again.

  3. DomMcRaven

    Good to hear that this team hasn't lost confidence. But I want to see RESULTS.

  4. DomMcRaven

    How would you guys grade our PREVIOUS draft class now that they have a season under their belts?

      ok, I give it an A

  5. DomMcRaven

    I couldn't help but wonder: let's Dennis Pitta never had that injury. How would our offense be?

      Much better.

      On the bright side, at least we'll be able to keep him for a cheaper price than if he had played all year and really broke out.

  6. DomMcRaven

    I feel that's inevitable that we draft a RB (as we should) but damn it, I hope we get a bruiser (somebody like Eddie Lacy) that can grind out a few tough yards. Are there any out there in this year's draft?

      juanman7

      yeah if anyone i say Andre Williams the Heisman finalist guy

    3. juanman7

      juanman7

      id rather get mike evans, marquise lee, sammy watkins, jace amaro, or some good olinemen

    4. FJX

      FJX

      Yeah that would be good in the first round. Saw a mock draft where we got the RT from Alabama, then WR from LSU in the 2nd, and Williams in the 3rd. I'd be VERY pleased with that.

  7. DomMcRaven

    I got another question for you guys. Who do you think has a better defense: Bills or Jets? Tough one for me, but I'll go with the Bills because of Rex.

      raven22nation

      Jets for sure

    4. raven22nation

      raven22nation

      but bills take both games frpm jets

  8. DomMcRaven

    I have a feeling that Dean Pees will stay. If not, Marvin Lewis anyone (that is if he leaves Cincy)?

      You hate "HarBoo" but you think Marvin gets a HC job if he gets fired? That's interesting.

    3. Stephenjr

      Stephenjr

      Marvin Built That team from nothing. HarBoo took over a team loaded with leaders and talent! Marvin also can say he was the DC for the best Defense ever! Last time I checked Marvin Lewis has the same amount has HarBooooooooo!

    4. Stephenjr

      Stephenjr

      Marvin has the same amount of rings as HarBoo! That's Interesting!

  9. DomMcRaven

    if I'm not mistaken, I believe that we face the AFC South next season. Now I don't know about you guys, but I think Gary Kuboak knows a thing or two about that conference. I'm not too sure...I just have a feeling.

    1. radicals

      radicals

      We do face AFC South. Didn't even think about Kubiak when I found out. Will be interesting next season. Our opponents - http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Ravens-2014-Opponents-Finalized/ba086ab5-fb82-42cc-923c-fc23225cad38

  10. DomMcRaven

    If we miss the playoffs (most likely but I sure as hell hope not), do you think this will be a blessing in disguise for the team and especially Flacco? If he continues to struggle for the remainder of the year, hopefully he will use this year as a learning curve to become accurate and develop chemistry with our young receivers. As much as I can't stand Tom Brady (don't we all?), look at what he's doing with his receivers.....

      Pats WRs have been playing bad but they have time to get open and the RBs have rushing lanes. Pats have maintained a reasonably good Oline. Honestly if the Ravens had that kind of blocking we'd be 5-3.

    3. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      We'd have a winning record for sure if our offensive line could block. I'm pretty sure Ozzie will get this O-line issue fixed in the offseason should it continue to be a problem as many of us like myself expect it to be.

    4. Stephenjr

      Stephenjr

      Joe is the best offensive player on this team, He isn't the problem. The problem is the O-line and Castillo!

  11. DomMcRaven

    Josh Gordon............c'mon man.

    1. BloodRaven

      Good thing they have Johnny Football hahahaha

    2. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      I know right!!!!

  12. DomMcRaven

    Just a curious question, why oh why does our offense struggle on the road with Flacco (not just this year)?

    1. Inqui

      Inqui

      One theory I saw is that our new(ish) training facility is really similar to the M&T Bank turf so we have kind of a familiarity advantage at home and the opposite away.

    2. BloodRaven

      BloodRaven

      Because PEW PEW PEW 'MERICUH

    3. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      Inqui, I remember hearing about that, but they need to do something to address this in the offseason.

  13. DomMcRaven

    Kelvin Benjamin, anyone? Lol.

      Has he declared. Benjamin would be a nice fit here if he decides to come out.

    4. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      Me personally, I would like either Lee, Watkins or Benjamin. Any who can run nice routes and has great hands. Speed is not a necessity, as we have Torrey, Marlon, Deonte and even Aaron for that.

  14. DomMcRaven

    Looks like ProFootballTalk has us ranked # 7 in their preseason power rankings? Thoughts?

      PFT is snarky but they've always had a healthy respect for the Ravens...Florio in particular has always been a bigger Flacco fan than most. I check PFT for news everyday so I kept waiting for us to appear on the rankings lol. The best is seeing fans from other teams whine about how we're too high.

    4. Ravenskid52752

      Ravenskid52752

      yes ratedr yes like why are they so high because where that talented lol.

  15. DomMcRaven

    Now did I love this pick? No. But this is the reason why I don't have preferences/favorites. Let's just give Perriman a chance to do something before we get on him. Who knows...this guy could be a stud for us...or maybe not. Let's just wait and see.

  16. DomMcRaven

    Regardless of how we finish our season (and hopefully postseason), what positions do we need to address the most in the offseason via draft and free agency?

    1. gabefergy

      gabefergy

      I would say OL, TE, Safety are top 3 positions of need. WR, RB, and CB less pressing.

    2. Stephenjr

      Stephenjr

      I would say a new coaching staff, if we could draft in that area! Lmao

  17. DomMcRaven

    So now we have Alex Boone saying that Boldin was worth a first-round pick. As much as I love Boldin, I can't stand to hear anymore about the mistake that Ozzie made. I understand that Q is a FA, but I believe that statement just solidified he will NOT come back to the Ravens....even if we tried.

      ThePurpleWall

      Boldin wasn't worth a first round pick, and ozzie mad no mistake on that, from ozzie take I agree with him why pay a wr base of 6 million a year that's what boldin wanted and hes age 32 going on 33

    3. gabefergy

      gabefergy

      Yeah, there is no way Boldin was worth a first round pick, at least there was no way he could garner such compensation.

    4. BloodRaven

      BloodRaven

      Boldin picked up the slack when Crabtree was out 12 games, and all this while converting over 80% of his third down looks.

      Lets not be petty because he's no longer a Raven, his contribution to their season has been priceless.

  18. DomMcRaven

    The Football Birds Facebook page is fire! Never disappoints.

  19. DomMcRaven

    We have played 9 games so far and there's no improvement in our running game. Since Juan Castillo doesn't want to change his schemes to fit our players, HE MUST GO (how many times do we have to say this??)! It will be a TRAVESTY if he stays to be our run-game coordinator for next year. An ABSOLUTE.....TRAVESTY!

    1. MissRay27

      MissRay27

      If 100 people say it's a skunk, it's a skunk. Castillo needs to go, why does Harbs not see it?

    2. blackbird29

      blackbird29

      Harbaugh won't do anything because that is his BFF. He will defend him to the very end. In his mind it's not Castillo, it's the players not executing.

    3. MissRay27

      MissRay27

      BFF blinders. I get it like only seeing the best in your friend.

    Who's ready for FA tomorrow? I know I am!

      Can't wait!

  21. DomMcRaven

    With all of these moves in FA (and eventually the draft) that we're making, I'm really looking forward to see how our new coaching staff meshes with them.

    1. Alaska Alaska!

      Alaska Alaska!

      Honestly, I think it's the new addition of the coaches that has me most excited about this coming season!

    2. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      At least it's a breath of fresh air from the old coaching staff. I just want us to be the sleeper in the AFC......once more.

  23. DomMcRaven

    You know something? I was one of the fans who called for Castillo to be fired. Now that he's the OL coach, I don't know what to think. Who knows? Maybe our OL could improve and our offense will work again.

    1. DomMcRaven

      DomMcRaven

      If our OL continues to struggle, well, we will know who's responsible for that.......

    2. Stephenjr

      Stephenjr

      He was always the O-line coach. They just didn't want to disrespect Moller. Harbs needs to grow a pair! We were worst in the league in running the ball due to poor O-line play. Instead of firing the guy, he gives him a raise!! What the heck??

  24. DomMcRaven

    I've been noticing that the NFL Facebook page has been talking about us a little more frequently than usual. Personally, I prefer they keep us on the down low.
