Raven1995

I think extremely lucky is a stretch. -our best wr was out/hampered a few games -We lost our most important (Jimmy) for multiple games at the most important point in the year - Sizzle basically had a season ending injury. played through it but wasn't sizzle -Our left tackle was out multiple games which killed us - The captain of our defense was out multiple games-mosely - Gilmore basically didn't play all year. -Watson season ending injury - Dixon hurt in preseason and couldn't play til later in the year - Alex Lewis High ankle sprain -Doom torn achillies in the offseason -Kufasi out for the year And that's just off the top of my head. That does not look extremely lucky to me Wow that's pretty darn good. Only thing I can add was Yanda missed a few games and when added to Lewis and Stanley led to the 4 game losing streak in October which was too much to overcome,

ehh need pass rusher or upgrade our offense line more.. with better pass rushers our cb won't need cover longer then they need too True, it seemed like the defense line played tired the second half of the year. Jerrigan had 3 sacks after 3 games and then 2 the rest of the year.

Its his Rookie season. Give the guy a break. And how can you say hes not an Ogden at this stage of his career when Ogden didn't even play LT till his 2nd year. ogden also didn't give up a sack until his second year an that was 1 all of his second season but only gave up 26 for his hole career Would of been less if Kyle Boller wasn't the quarterback for his last few years.

Glad Ozzie make the picks and not you! so your happy with the bums that he picks I'm not can't wait for ozzie to be fired You'll have to wait until he retires, he's a lifer.

Zuttah was bad, very bad. Missed blocks, penalties, hitting a player out of bounds, and not calling blocking schemes. Matt Birk used to call the plays to the line and change them if he saw something, he was the leader. We need a Big center like the Jets have or like one of the Pounceys. I'd like us to get a center who will be around more than 4 years.

If that's true it sucks. I always liked watching the after game show.

I've always thought Harbaugh was a 'corporate' guy. He has never impressed me as a solid coach on the field. His focus is on relationships with some coaches and the owner. There's a reason Belichek and Andy Reed win. Anybody ever see the program showing Belichek's last years in Cleveland? Very impressive to see him run meetings with his coaches back in the day. Some significant players mailed in the Cincy game....Flacco, Suggs, Dumerville, Williams, all the DB's. Not a good sign for the coaches. I watched that 30 for 30 show about a dozen times. In 1995 the Browns players quit playing and even the players admitted it. Harbaugh has one season to get it right. He has an Easy schedule next year. The only hard game I saw was playing a road game against Green Bay. Good Luck to Ozzie and get great Draft picks in the first 3 rounds and stop Worrying about the 4th round, and Marty run the Heck out of theball and I don't want to see Flacco throw over 40 times the whole year.

They already renegotiated his contract, and you can't get rid of him the Dead Money in 2017 and 2018 would be about 50 million, the first chance the Ravens could get rid of Joe is at the beginning of the 2019 season. The Dead Money will be at a workable level.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but since you mentioned the 2012 SB run let's recall Juan Castillo was not apart of that he was Eagles DC then. *he became the Run game coordinator in 2013 and it was widely reported he was running the show as oline coach from behind the scenes. Regardless as the Run game coordinator the team regressed significantly in Rushing in 2013. 2014 - was all kubiak 2015-2016. Back to back abysmal rushing attacks ( some could be attributed to play calling ) I'll give him credit for developing Wagner and having a hand in KO's. * I get what you're saying, but don't you think the bad performance in 2013 could also have been at least partly due to new pieces in the line (Birk, McKinnie, Oher all left), a basically new OC (Caldwell) and - the fact people always miss - Ray Rice having a pretty bad season? If you blame Castillo instead, and then give Kubiak all the credit in 2014, that seems kind of unfair. Seems more fair to say that the zone run scheme takes a while to get good at, and in Kubiak's year it fell into place, and then Trestman basically abandoned it so the O line and Castillo had to start over. And now they'll start over again with Mornhinweg :/ Oher was still their, and Mckinney got traded mid season to Miami. Gradkowski was very bad and didn't even know when to hike the ball, Yanda had to slap him on his arm to let him know. Also, KO missed half a season with a bad back and AQ Shipley was the LG. TE was very bad with Dallas Clark and Ed Dickson. Rice and Pierce had a combined 3 yard carry average. I agree Kubiak shouldn't get all the credit, However West and Dixion had over a 4 yard carry average so I don't think their is any starting over it is just running the ball 60% of the time and Keeping Flacco under 35 passes. Joe was 3 wins and 0 losses when throwing under 35 times last year, Mornhingweg has one year to get it right or all Coaches are gone

Cap Specialist? They need to stop giving long deals. Rice, Ngata, Webb, Smith, Pitta and Flacco's Deals have all been Disasters. They need to get younger and cheaper.

Agreed! We need to start planning for life after Flacco anyway... We still have 2 more years to go. After the 2018 season would be the 1st year to try, if they tried earlier it would be too much Dead Money.

There is only one person who can save Harbaugh, Ozzie. He Better have a Great Draft and be Top Heavy in Talent. Rounds 1 thru 3 better be Home runs.

Because they were in the same draft 2008 . Ryan has had Pro Bowl receivers and Hall of Fame Tight Ends. Flacco had Bolden, Rice, Torrey Smith and Pitta in 2012, then they all disintegrated. I think Ryan has 1 Playoff victory to Flaccos 10 playoff victories. Ryan had an Awful 2014 when he didn't have a good offensive line. Now he has a Very Good Offensive Coordinator in Kyle Shanahan, who we could of had. He has Great Receivers again. We need to get creative. We do flashy things in the first half get 10 Points than shut down the Offense and hope the Defense can hold.

Perriman had targets, but he turned the wrong way or was out of position. Even his touchdown against Cleveland looked awkward. He needs to get In sync with his routes if he wants more catches.

Alex Smith can't win playoff games, Joe has 10.

If the OL is the problem then what changes would be made? Stanley stays, Lewis stays, Yanda stays, Wagner could stay. Is Zuttah really the one to blame for all of Joe's issues? I read somewhere he actually graded out pretty well the second half if the season. No not Zuttah alone but a big chunk of it. Injuries played a big part of it. I saw a play Sunday where Zuttah was blocking nobody and Ducasse had one player and he let him go by and sack Flacco. They were both just standing their with nobody around them. Lewis missed games, Stanley missed games and had 2 bad games after he came back. Yanda missed some games and Wagner missed some games. Jensen, Hurst and Urschel don't seem to be the answer. We need to Draft and get a couple good players and hope the Injuries go down next year. Also, a new Offensive Line Coach would be Great!

We better at least get a new Offensive Line coach. I can't stand watching Zuttah and Vlad Ducasse block its horrible. The running backs can't block either. Need some fresh Ideas, Castillo is Harbaugh's buddy from Philly and he needs to go, we need Change.

Joe used to do "Comeback Routes" with Derrick Mason all the time. Mason's route's were crisp, he should come back as a coach for us.

I don't think Losing should even be talked about. The Patriots have won over 10 games for 13 straight years and have lost 2 first round picks to cheating and they always find players. I'm thinking the Position of the draft isn't the Problem it is "Ozzie not pulling the trigger to move up in the Draft". He likes to move back and get picks which he did last year, but he needs to move up and get an impact player. If he used the 3rd round pick to move up in the first round we would have Ramsey instead of Kaufusi on IR. He also failed to move up in the Draft in 2010 and he missed out on Gronkowski and Dez Bryant .He needs to use a 2nd or 3rd round pick to move up in the 1st round .We need a CB, Center and a Pass Rusher.

Whats worse is that Pittsburgh gets to finish the year at Home against Cleveland 4 out of the last 5 years.

Ravens always get the Short end of the stick. I'd like to see a Monday Night Game in Baltimore Someday.

I disagree, the won the Superbowl because everyone was healthy at the end of the season, they had a New OC in Jim Caldwell and they moved Osemele to LG. Ray had a Good game against the Colts but that was it.

It really grinds my gears to hear him defend Flacco every time a reporter asks him about a boneheaded play or decision made by Flacco or what's up with Flacco's mechanics. He always says things like Joe is a great QB, I'm a Joe Flacco fan, Joe will be the first to tell you he needs to play better, Joe this Joe that. But will rip Timmy to shreds for a bad play, or put players like West and Judon in the doghouse for a special teams mistake. He does the same thing with his awful coordinators. IDC what anyone says, the days of a winning culture are far behind us and it's not a coincidence that is dwindled after the SB team was dismantled. First order of being a Head Coach never bad mouth your Starting Quarterback, too many other people, Fans & Reporters, will do a ton of that.

if you follow the Ravens closely, the hiring of Trestman over Gase made sense, the Ravens knew Gase was going to be a head coach so they wanted consistency but it did not work with Trestman. I agree with your point that we need a creative OC but who now? We have to bear in mind that we want someone who will stay for at least 3 to 4 yrs. We cannot hire a HC candidate to be our OC. I agree on not hiring Gase, but Kyle Shanahan would of been a nice hire after leaving Cleveland in 2014, he is doing great in Atlanta.

very boring to watch, just to name a few.? That was one of the best games ever Sunday. It was compelling and came done to the last minute. We didn't win but that doesn't make it boring.
