What else is there to say? 3 weeks in a row where ultimately bad coaching decisions have cost the Ravens games.

We all know the motto, Offense wins games, but Defense wins championships. With that said, there are grave deficiancies on both sides of the ball for the Ravens. Going into the 2017 Season should they focus on building an elite offense around Joe or build a great D and run the ball?

If Sean Payton gets fired, I think he'd be a good fit for the Ravens :/

Yea. Bengals are the Ravens Kryptonite :/ Even during some of their best seasons the Bengals have always played the Ravens tough. They're worse than the Steelers.

16th I think. I feel like the Browns finished better as at lease they have the 1st overall :/ going 8-8 is almost worst than going 0-16 in that sense.

It's not about money it's about availability...well and I guess money too but availability. When talking about this I am heavily focusing on building through the draft, although trades and stuff will help too. If one is focusing on building a great offense, then most likely the defense is going to suffer, especially considering they are already suffering at the corner position. Folks are saying Brandon Williams will be traded, and Suggs is most likely in his twilight years now. If they are going to focus on ONE particular side of the ball then the other will most likely suffer. Rarely do teams have both a great O and great D...thats rare...

ok, so what about when he was with the Dolphins before coming to the Pats?

I already stated this in a different way. John H DOES seem to be a problem when it looks like the players gave up on him during the game. This isn't just my opinion, this is something shared within a good amount of fans. Still though who exactly IS the problem is hard to evaluate as we are not in the locker room so the only thing we can do is speculate.

he played in more games in 2014 than he did in 2013 yet had under 500 yards...but ok.

In the eyes of the coaches/ coordinators/ GMs that are making those decisions, yes it does. The draft is entirely based upon POTENTIAL hence why someone like Reggie Bush (probably the best college RB ever) was drafted as the 2nd pick of the 2006 draft to be a "play maker" for the Saints, but ultimately failed to live up to his POTENTIAL in the NFL thus the reason hes been on so many teams lately and will most likely remain mediocre.

What opinions did I not defend lol. The lack of playmakers comment is my opinion, however it is hard to quantify that opinion. The only way I can "back it up" is through using examples which I did by stating Drew Brees as he was once seen as a "bust" before partnering with Sean Payton. I am sure you can find other examples, but the one example for me is enough. As I said, and will say for the 3rd or 4th time, this is the NFL. Players are HEAVILY evaluated before they are selected and ALL of them are evaluated on their ability to make plays.

you responded to a quote which included Wes Welker

What do you have to say now that the season is a wrap?

All good though. My opinions have been validated. I got called out week 3 when I told them John. H was a problem. Well...here the Ravens are for a 2nd season in a row. Bring on the hate, but the games speak for themselves.

If the Ravens focus on finding playmakers for Flacco their D is most likely going to take cut and end up similar to the Saints but whatever. Forget I am on a board full of homers who can't think or take a different opinion and say "hey i understand your OPINION, I just agree to disagree",

Wes welker went from 1k seasons and a MAIN target to a 3rd WR who was used primarily in the redzone hence the high TD. However look at his next year after that...and that...Again you "expert fans" keep calling for play makers, and talking about how Tom Brady has them, but with how the NFL is set up there is BOUND to be a rotation in receiving corp which Brady has undergone and still been able to produce. If i am correct he STILL has never missed a playoff since being a full time starter in New England. Stop with the non sense.

Again EVERY TEAM has play makers. This is the NFL. Professional football. Every one of those players were thoroughly inspected before they were drafted/ signed. Teams aren't going to hand out free money to bums if they don't bring any POTENTIAL. You guys can argue this up and down all you want, but Baltimore has had "play makers" come through the team.

maybe i should restate what i meant. They are "rare" as in finding WRs with that amount of talent is RARE. Ok buddy.

Wins..talking about wins. But I use that as an example of how "play makers" don't automatically = wins since folks are under the impression THAT is the problem in Baltimore. Lack of "play makers". I just wonder if they realize Odells and TOs are RARE

One can say that about any team that has a "bad season"...but the 49ers don't go from playing in the Superbowl/ NFC championship to this season because of lack of "playmakers"...Same thing for the Saints who have "play makers" but still can't muster anything. If I remember correctly before the season began the Ravens were ranked pretty high purely because of their team composition.

At the end of the day though this is the NFL. Every receiver/ RB/ QB has the potential to be great, it's all in finding the right system and right coaches who can bring out that greatness. Prime example is Drew Brees.

They aren't being put into position to be "great". They are there though. Kenneth Dixon himself has shown he can make plays. I feel like Perriman under a different system would be pretty good. SSS was a play maker. Mike Wallace was a play maker in Pittsburgh, and fell off due to incompetent QBs, Pittsburgh knew how to utilize him and if Antonio Brown ever leaves hell face a similar fate. Dennis Pitta is a play maker. Ravens have the talent...it just isn't being used properly.

btw EVERY team in the NFL has "play makers". This is the NFL. Please stop with that non sense.

I have said this before, and I will say it again. Do not compare Joe Flacco to Tom Brady. He hasn't earned that right. Tom has had multiple receiver sets, and at one point his main receivers were TEs...heck it still is. Look what happens to most of his "star" receivers once they leave NE. Flacco is what he is, a middle of the road QB with great arm strength. He's a slightly better version if Jay Cutler. He is not "elite" at this moment, nor has he been over the previous years.

if not for 4th and 29 they wouldn't have been in the playoffs. He may have had a rough last 1/4 of the season, but then again teams just started heavily game planning for him as he was literally 1/3 of the Ravens O at the time.
