3 QBs will be drafted in the top 15.

I hope we sign a veteran DL. Guy's gone and I don't trust Kafusi or Urban. Ricky Jean-François would be a nice signing.

In today's world it's all about costs. Shutting down this message board isn't the solution. It generates a lot of traffic like some of you mentioned it above.

I'm okay if there's some ads/banner to generate some cash. Final drive to me is a useless product, I'm sure it costs a lot more to produce a video a day than to keep this board running. A message board is also a place for fans to talk/communicate to each other in a unique way esp. if it's the offical forums. I know social media plays a new role, but in the end a message board belongs to a package that the Ravens PR provide/"sell" their fans.

I cannot understand why wright and company are playing 10 yards off on 3rd down. if it was green or AB ok. But this was against lower competiton. 

Why do they have to max protect on 4th down and send only two wr on go routes. 

In my mother tongue we say "a fish rots from the head down", I don't know if this proverb exists in English. But Harbaugh's talk about how they aren't quitting etc is a joke. Dixon, West and SSR were the only guys showing up. The bengals were in the same situation and had the right mindset. As much as I respect and appreciate Harbaugh's merits think he doesn't survive another 3-4 game losing streak.

I understand the logic behind firing Harbs, but who would we replace him with?

I think he's a great motivator, but he needs a consultant for game days. To me it seems he isn't that great of a  tactician. 

Like a lot of you guys said in other threads, this season was already lost way back in october. 

But for this game the ravens should've taken advantage of the starting field position. 

We only gonna get better on offense. Perriman, Waller, Boyle, Dixon, West, Moore, Williams, Camp.

Good:

Juice just phenomenal! West and Dixon never went down. 

Bad: Last call. I hope Biscotti cleans this mess up. Fresh start!

Only guy missing was Jimmy. We had all our players!

But this secures us a better pick, which will help on the longterm 

What I like most about West and Dixon. They're falling forward, always fight for extra yards and don't go down on first contact. 

West still only had 17 carries. Stanley continues to improve. 

What do you think: does Lewis replace Ducasse next week? Is he capable of playing RG?

Good: run game. Dixon's a playmaker. Tucker. Young's pass break up against Green-Beckham.

Bad: some of our fronts couldn't stop the run. Guy lined up as a 0-tech and we got destroyed. 

Ugly: the missed holding calls from their C and Ertz. Flacco and his weekly interception. 

3 explosive plays (West, Wallace and Camp) on 3 drives and none of them resulted in points.

Joe Mathis after his injury is a steal in the 2nd round if we take a db first.

Karter Schult, DL, (UNI) is a freak. 

Good: finally playing 60min of football on all 3 phases. I like those slants and crossing routes. we have to abuse them with the likes of Wallace and Perriman.

Also Judon is more than a pure pass rusher, he sets the edge better than zadarius.

ugly. missed tackles. but I like how our cbs know how to tackle. 

 per Zrebiec:

Mornhinweg and Flacco got after each other a bit in meeting this week. Marty wasn't happy with Flacco's conservative comments.

Great: Tucker

Good: Dline batting down passes. Suggs' and Doom's strip sacks. Playdesigns: Wallace wide open in the backfield, and Pees used some new fronts.

Bad: still not enough offensive output

Defense played well until Pees started to change his calls. Where was Perriman?

Ugly leaving Elliot/TE's wide open

we won because of a botched punt

and because for one play the steelers secondary fell apart. Offense didn't look good at all and  the stellers secondary isn't known to be good and their best corner Guy was inactive.

Good: Judon, Pierce, Bwill, Secondary, Special Teams, Wallace.

Well we just cut Will Davis and signed Chris Lewis Harris. Was Davis really that bad? I agree we don't have much depth at outside CBs but Lewis Harris is also just 5-10.

There is no center in FA. The often mentioned Matt Paradis is an erfa. The only way to get a new center is through the draft. 

I'd like to draft a pass rusher or a DB in the first and second. Guard is also a need. But I think Zeitler or Leary are relatively cheap FAs.

He can't step into throws, can't extend plays, poor pocket awarness, stevie-wonder-reads. This shouldn't be problems for a 9 year vet. He's at his best around 30 throws a game. You can actually win a game with those numbers, even Brady only threw 26 times yesterday. But I hope we draft a QB in the 2018 draft.

Good: Judon,Pierce, Jimmy, Bwilliams

Bad: team plays with no energy and passion, Webb he's so slow 

Ugly We're paying 25m for a qb who doesn't step into throws.

This will earn you some fans.

But this is the only way esp. against Fitzpatrick/Geno. We have a non-existent pass rush atm. and if Pees decides to blitz our coverage gets exposed i.e. leaving B.Marshall on an island against Wright/Davis/Young. Good luck with that. Or do you see another way/strategy?

He doesn't have the body control that he had last year BC he packed on them pounds to make the move to tight end.

But he could've added some some functional muscle mass so he doesn't lose a step. lol

Here are some things I'd like to change:

Dixon/West/Allen as our 3rd down back. Juice ain't bad, but everyone knows we're not running it with Juice.

Waller isn't the right answer at gunner. He misses crucial tackles. He seemed to be a good gunner last season because most returner signaled a fair catch. But in reality he easily get's outjuked because he hasn't good body control.

3 man rushes and drop 8 into coverage. 

Good T.West Tucker Pierce. I can't imagine where we would've stand without Tucker.

Bad: no pass rush and Flacco

Ugly: those injuries. Our defense fell apart the moment jimmy left.

But We were still in the game despite an makeshift oline, garbage CB's and zero pass rush.

I'm okay with Harbaugh. The only thing that annoys me is his ST obsession. I know you have to respect all 3 phases of football. One ST play can  completely change a game like every other play. Ozzie/Harbs chose Carter instead of Ochi. What exactly has Carter done to improve our ST play? Another example: D.Brown was just actived because he might block a punt. 4 TE's active on gameday, but only 3 pass rusher Suggs, Doom and ZDS (who has been an absolute non-factor so far) brilliant idea. Special teamer should be aces at their position like Trawick. We badly miss him. I'd rather keep players who can contribute on Offense/Defense than subpar STeamer.

Who were the Redskins CB's last week? They got their job done. There always seems to be a massiv drop off whenever one of our starters gets injured.

But in the end it's always easy to point a finger at sth. esp. after a loss or in our case a mid-season slump.

Matt Bowen tweeted out that the fourth down play was smart. Wallace just had to hold on.

I agree.

SSR would've made that play. The rest of the WRs don't play with the same energy and determination.
