he's killing every alabama offensive player here

To be fair to him there's been 3 or 4 easy catches that the WR's have dropped but it's all so predictable. 

8/19 for 48 yards from Hurts in the air so far, that has to improve. 

Make that 8/20.

I'm sure that ball moves after it hits the ground. 

Cam Robinson needs to chill out with these false start penalties.

tim williams is still the premier rusher (and 3rd in the class) - but anderson is certainly making his case to rise up team's boards - he looks like he's a fiery leader as well

imagine picking up him and tim williams at 16 and 48 - (there's a chance they both make it to those picks)

Something tells me we'd have to trade up a few picks in the 2nd round.

Anderson again - pressure on 2nd down, then set the edge and came back inside to make a tackle on 3rd.

People only watch Williams and sacks but this dude does everything, every single game.

He's definitely an impressive player. I'm surprised at how quiet Williams has been in this game to be honest. 

We going to see Swinney crying like a baby throughout the game again? No chance was that PI.

Watching the defense trying to tackle Scarborough is like watching the Dolphins

Scarborough yet again. Wonder where he will be drafted next year.

Wow! Ryan Anderson with a turnover in successive games.

How is Williams allowed back on the field after only being asked a couple of questions but receiving no medical attention? 

Hurts not having a great deal of luck so far.

Disagree, that is the only way to win against the best

Not that it worked though, they ended up with a TD. Silly move IMO.

they had a chance to draft JALEN RAMSEY but blew it! he alone would of won a few games at the end of games.

Yet you don't factor in how many games we'd have lost by having Hurst as our starting LT.

All we had to do was beat Pittsburgh . This Miami team looks BAD.

There's no point me watching this game is there?

I think we will trade down either in 1st or 2nd round to get more picks. We need depth not just starters. 

It's because we keep going after depth guys that we're failing to make the playoffs. 

You'd have thought that considering offense was a big problem this season that the FO would do all they could to keep the good players on the team, not be so willing to let them leave. 

I remember when I first started watching 'football' and about the 3rd or 4th game I ever watched featured the Panthers. All I could think throughout the game is how tough SSS was. I had no idea who he was, what position he played or anything else but I just loved watching him play, the small guy putting a beating on people much bigger than him.

Head Coach John Harbaugh said Monday. “To me, there are signs that that is possible. But he has a way to go; he has a lot of work to do to get it done.”

A true number one, at any skill position, shouldn't need a "LOT" of work after one season.

When he's missed a year through injury and been neglected on the field a lot then it makes sense.

While I blame the defense more than the offense for missing the playoffs, I (and everyone else) seem to agree that we need to run the ball more. All it takes is - CALL MORE RUNS! I can see passing when the run game isn't working, but in most this year we often didn't give the run game a chance, or worse - the run game was effective but we still went 99% pass in second half (as in the Washington game).

It's thanks to the defense that we even had a chance at getting into the playoffs. The offense was pathetic for a vast majority of the season.

Some of the mistakes made this year my Mornhinweg were typical of a coordinator who takes over mid-season, and some of the mistakes were to do with the lack of play-makers on the offensive side of the ball, but Mornhinweg still called some truly baffling games and mostly ran an imbalanced offense. That being said...who exactly is out there who can come in and be a guaranteed improvement to the guy? If Kubes wanted to come back or Rick Dennison becomes available, sure why not. But there isn't a whole lot floating around out there in the way of coaching talent. With that said, why not open it up to a few candidates, with Mornhinweg being a possible hire? Why not at least test the water? Where exactly was Mornhinweg going to disappear to?
Regardless, this off season we NEED to find an offensive weapon and take the time to slowly readjust the offense to suit Flacco's strengths. I've said it all season, Flacco has not lost a step. Flacco isn't going to Drew Brees his way to 5000 yards season after season. He needs a solid run game to open up single coverage and get teams biting on the boots and PA. So long as Mornhinweg can bring balance the offense and keep Joe from leading the league in attempts, and so long as Ozzie can get his hands on an actual offensive weapon, we'll be locking horns with the Steelers again next year for the AFC North title. But we need both of those things to happen in order to do that. Ozzie doesn't pick based off of need you say? & he doesn't trade away draft picks to chase players in high rounds you say? Well that's too bad for Ozzie. He should trade away everything, including his shirt to move up and get the top offensive prospect in this years draft. We cannot come away with a defensive player in the first round if we hope to right the ship in 2017.

So there's next to nobody out there but we should test the water anyway? How do you test the water with next to nobody? 

Mornhinweg has shown time after time that he has no idea how to execute a balanced game between running and throwing. We run it well for a quarter or two and then it disappears and we end up throwing throughout the second half. That's one of the biggest issues with him. It doesn't surprise me though considering he was the QB coach, he'll want Flacco to throw as much as possible if they have each other's ear. 

Don't talk like Flacco has had no weapons to use throughout the season, they've been there, he just hasn't known how to use them or has been handed plays which makes them irrelevant. 

I don't understand the premise of keeping a coordinator just to save face on having a different one every year. Is it any surprise we keep having different OC's when Harbaugh is free to hire whoever he damn pleases? How long does it have to go on before the book finally stops with the head coach? I wasn't in favour of firing Harbaugh before this season but I've since lost all faith in him. Harbaugh best hope we have an amazing draft and check downs without ever running the ball starts working. Sort of lost faith in Bisciotti too, he's all talk and no action. 

Don't know if to laugh or cry at this news.

It now seems that Harbaugh just doesn't want to hire anybody who could become a threat for his HC position.

Remains to be seen (and I am confident) whether the same rhetoric is on our schedule in 2017 - "we can become really good team, we just need to get better" - all the way through week 17 and 6 other teams duke it out in AFC playoffs.

I said a while back that Harbaugh reminds me of the previous Liverpool FC manager (Brendan Rodgers). They get rid of people in the team that may question their authority, they hire incompetent coaches who pose no threat to them, they both want to bring in goody goodies and both have/had no idea how they wanted the team to play. Then after press conferences it's all "we showed character", "we have to play like we're (whatever team) players", "we can do better" etc. etc.
