Z smith cant make plays when he never gets on the field

It honestly was not Marty IMO. Flacco is to blame for the lack of audibles when the defense knows exactly which play we are about to run. That starts in practice. That "Joe Cool" slogan also backfires at us. I like that he stays calm in tense situations but I would rather see a QB play with more enthusiasm and determination to win. That means calling audibles and being a vocal leader.

Also, the announcers in almost every game for us have all said the same thing over and over again......."Nobody is getting open". Our receivers having a hard time getting open has also been killing this offense.

I still think that as long as Harbaugh is here this team will continue to be mediocre at best. I said back in 2012 that he took the credit from Ray Lewis. People forget that Harbaugh came the same offseason that we drafted Flacco & Ray Rice. Ray Rice who was the sole reason for us even being in the playoffs. Which I still cannot forgive Ozzie Newsome and Steve Biscotti for. I mean, these guys literally played God by choosing to not give Rice a second chance. But thats another topic. Regardless, all this team needed was a good QB and we got that with Flacco, and also got a beam of light with Ray Rice. Ray Lewis was already the vocal leader, heart & soul, and coach of this team. Harbaugh was just a guy filling in the hole of "Head Coach". Get harbaugh outta here, but do not just bring in any guy. We either need Ray Lewis as HC or an old school, hard nosed, smash mouth football kind of Head Coach. In all serious, if I were Ozzie I would get on the phone and see if Ray is interested in a coaching position.

I cant agree more with everything you said. We need a hard nose leader for a Head Coach. I also believe Eric Decosta is influencing the draft these last several years and the draft has been mediocre. A few years ago i read were Ozzie was grooming Eric for his job and was giving him more duties.Seems far to often we bring in key players via free agency and if they are liked by JH and play his way they stay but any voice and they are gone Ie Pollard,Q,Cory Graham,cary williams heck we even let Ed Reed leave the building i could go on and i know some really good players left for more money but seems like if you dont play Jh rules they let you go.

Of course JF and DP dont see any change coming. Sundays game was all about setting franchise marks and getting stats. This team has abandon the running game way to much. Flacco is not an elite Qb to be having 40+ attempts per game he shines at 25 to 30 with the running backs get 20+ carriers to setup play action and bootlegs but enough on him. I have said this for years and will say it again JH is a terrible at challenges,decisions,game planning and half time adjustments. We had players like Q,Ray and Ed helping with adjustments that made Harbaugh look good. Those players are gone and goes to show JH looks lost as a head coach. Kub helped while he was here 2 Hc was better than 1 mentality was the key for that 1 season. IMO we need to replace both coordinators and possible the HC. Pees has always been terrible and for the top 5 defense we had look at our opponents offense over a 16 game season the ones that had a legit offenses schooled our so call top 5 defense. I really hope Steve looks at all these comments from fans and the media and make the right decision to move this once winning franchise back to top level
