Raven1995

More like 5 to 6 wins every year. We have 2 teams, Cincy and Pitt that give us fits. Brady is like 30 and 2 against Buffalo over 17 years. Cleveland always plays us tough and was even competitive in 2002 and 2007. Jets have had a few good years and Miami had one good year back in 2008 when Brady was out for the year, go figure. Those extra wins guarantee home field advantage. In 2011 if we had a Home game against NE we would of been in the Super Bowl.

I don't think so. When Atlanta got Alex Mack it changed everything. I remember the Falcons coming to Baltimore in 2014 and their offensive line got pushed around and Matt Ryan had no time to do anything. Suggs Safety was pretty cool too.

13. Zuttah 1, Pouncey 2, and New England's center 3, is going to the Super Bowl.

Mel Kiper had Matt Elam going at pick 31 in the 2013 draft to San Francisco, I wish he was right.

Even with Julio being a stud, it cripple their development. Roddy White, Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez - how does that team not win more than 1 play-off game in 8 years with those guys in their prime? You're memory is fading.....Shanahan signed with the Falcons on Jan 18. On Jan 11th, the day after our play-off loss to the Pats, Kubiak said he was staying in Baltimore. The Broncos asked to interview Kubiak on Jan 15 and Kubiak left on Jan 18th. We couldn't have had Shanahan. And Shanahan's offense was horrible last year even with Julio. Let's see how good the 49ers are next year with him at the helm.... When Kubiak left it was when all the good coaches were gone . Only 2 people were left Trestman and Adam Gase and Harbaugh didn't want to go with him because he thought he would of been one and done.

THAT COST US THE GAME Not tackling Antonio Brown cost us the game.

Please no more CB's from the 3rd to the 7th Round. Only 2 have worked in the last 14 Drafts, Webb and Young.

Sign Him do not let him go. Get the Run game going and that will help Wallace have a better year. Also, Use out of the back field more than last year. You have all that speed and not using it is terrible.

We had 9 different starting O-line combinations this year. And yes a bad center can wreck an o-line (pressure up the middle destroys any offense) Because Juice is a horrible run blocking FB. Good pass blocking, good at catching out of the backfield. horrible at run blocking (See 4th & Goal vs. Giants or Safety vs Pats) You call the plays based on game situations. 2nd & 3rd and long because of penalties - you don't run the ball. Down by 20 in the 1st Quarter to the Browns, you don't run the ball. Down by 17 to Brady in the 2nd quarter, you don't run the ball. Defense has 9 guys in the box, you don't run the ball. Defense is run blitzing, you don't run the ball. It's not until the game is over that you see the stats. No team runs just one scheme (just like no team plays just a 4-3 or 3-4 defense). We ran plays in a Zone scheme & a Power Scheme. I agree on everything except not running in certain instances. The Philly and Cincy game at the goal line. Both times should of run. I think the coaches are in a bad mind set and try to out think the other team instead of going at them. They have great success on pitch outs and WR sweeps but they only use it once or twice a game and abandon it.They need to throw the kitchen sink at defense's. Run Campanaro 3 or 4 times a game, Run Wallace a few times, 5 pitch outs, and Flacco's Knee should be better, so "Make" him run 4 times a game. Juice and Pitta are Horrible Blockers so Maybe have Boyle in the Backfield on a 5 or 6 plays a game. This is just off the top of my head, and don't get paid to coach so the Offensive coaches are on the Hot Seat from Day One in September, see you then.

Tyrod's Coach lost his Job, I don't think Tyrod could of helped us.

Nice wish, if we did get Cousins nobody is gonna take Joe Flacco's contract, and if you cut him that is 25 million Dead money for 2 years and a third year of a little lesser dead money.

Yep. They would of used him to return punts and then thrown him to the curb.

lol! Now if we can rid Joe of his buddy Dennis and save a good amount of cap, all will be well in Baltimore! Pitta's contract is almost worse than Joe's. I really hope we cut him. Not to mention he's a liability on the field and blocks worse than Jimmy Graham. He definitely does not play like a Raven. Too many softies on the Ravens these days. What happened to drafting nasty guys I agree he doesn't block great, but does not play like a Raven is way off base. He has taken a lot of tough hits, and came back from 2 Hip Surgeries. I just think Joe shouldn't throw to him so much. If their gonna do a check down do it to a running back. Use Dixon like they used Rice

The Ravens were 6 and 2 at Home, that's a 75 % winning percentage, how didn't you get your money? Watching the games on the road and on TV was the Tough part.

Don't tell Mike Preston that though... Preston's got to sell papers. He lines Harbaugh, Ozzie and Joe up and runs them over with a bus.

Steve Bisciotti said If Joe Had a Great season in 2012 he could bang on his desk and demand a great contract. Joe didn't put a gun to his head, so ultimately that falls on the owner.

I'm surprised Harbs didn't do his research on the guy before hiring him. We could've had a smoother transition from Kubiak into a similar scheme had we hired Kyle Shanahan, but Harbs was enamored of Trestman's "genius" to retain Kubiak's terminology and "improve" his offense. The result was a shambles, and Marty didn't do much to improve it. Our passing game essentially served as a running game, since the routes were so short and called so frequently. Unfortunately, a short passing game doesn't set up play action, and it clearly didn't set up a deeper passing game. No threat of a deep ball is a waste of Joe's talents, and the speed of Perriman and Wallace. As for the O-Line, scheme is the first culprit, then technique, then talent. With the 8-8 team of 2013, we passed like crazy and couldn't run the ball with an O-Line essentially the same as the SB (and that was with KO). The following year, we turned a journeyman RB into a pro-bowler with essentially the same line. Now, we are back to ineffectiveness. I'd like to see Roman come in and Castillo ("Run Game Coordinator / O-Line Coach") let go, since Juan seems to be the next accountable common denominator in our run game woes. Meet need to sweeten the pot for Roman if the Browns are offering him the QB Coach position. The O-line wasn't the same in 2013 as 2012 SB Year. KO only played in 7 games and had a bad back, people were saying he was a bad draft pick, a bust, couldn't stay healthy or play right tackle. Mckinney was traded to Miami after a few games, and Gradkowski was awful. Matt Birk called out blocking assignments and sized up the defense when he was their. So no it was not essentially the same unit. Whoops I forgot we Had AQ Shipley at left Guard in 2013 for 9 games.

Biggest error we made when evaluating Kyle Boller out of Cal was justifying low comp % by criticizing the talent he had around him. That's about 14 years too late. That draft pick set back the team 5 years. Thankfully we had good drafts in 2006 thru 2008. We could of used the 2004 pick we gave up on Vince Wolfolk or been in position for Ben Rothlisberger.

The Defense got killed in the last 2 minutes of several games when the offense handed them a lead. The Giants game, come on, 2 players running into each other, they scored in 28 seconds. The Pittsburgh game 1:19 left. Also, the Philadelphia game, people forget they ran all over us, and if they kicked an extra point we might of lost in overtime. Also, the Raider game they ran the field in what do you know 1:19 for a score. The New England game easy touchdown in the 4th quarter. Blaming the Quarterback and saying we need Ray and Ed is nonsense. Saying we need a Good Offensive Coordinator that will commit to the run and keep passes under 35 a game would of been a great statement. The Defense had the Game within reach but choked several time's.

Its still to be seen what they can do. I'm sure Koufusi didn't mean to break his leg, Also, trading down got us Judon who I think might be the best of all.

Webb is counting more against the Cap then Smith

The offense had 2 Offensive coordinators that gave up on the run. I think the 4 game losing streak in October scared the team and if something went wrong in the game they abandoned the run. When Joe threw under 35 times he was 3 wins and 0 losses. Joe is not built to throw over 40 times a game and they are telling him to throw over a 40 and 50 times a game which kills play action. An Offensive Coordinator is supposed to put his Quarterback in the best position to succeed and they asked him to be Drew Brees, Well they succeeded they are both out of the playoffs.

I don't like Jimmy Smith getting hurt either, but him missing the 2nd half of the Giants game, the jets game, Patriot's game and the 2nd Pittsburgh game showed he is a huge difference maker thanks to Ozzie not drafting a Quality DB in 6 years.

No Jimmy Smith, no playoffs, no playoff wins. They never came out and said it but his injury was season ending.
