Raven1995

Hope they can renegotiate with Joe to free up some money, he has been treated very well and needs to think about strengthening the team! If you won the lottery are you gonna give some of the money back?

One word "quarterback" 13-3 with mcnair 5-11 the next without him....rookie d2 qb and rookie special teams coach was carried (dominant run game, ferocious defense) to the afc championship game McNair didn't start all the games he was hurt a lot, Kyle Boller was 2 and 6 in half of the 2007 season. Harbaugh benefited from players being healthy and Draft Picks stepping up and starting in 2008.

and nice guys like Correa and Koufusis.? Do you mean Bronson Kaufusi? He broke his leg in training camp what does that have to do with being nice?

Flacco did have a great last drive and took a lot of time off of the clock, Just not enough.

Defense problems nobody talks about that. Since the Patriot game every team is running over the defense, we were number 1 but might drop out of the top 10 this week. Also, the defense was only on the field 25 minutes, they shouldn't be tired?

Oh God, no Rex Ryan. I want nothing to do with either one of the Ryans. And besides, he'd never come back anyway.... Amen!

Glass Half empty Glass Half Full. The Month of October sucked but overall it was compelling football games and great entertainment what would you rather be doing Raking leaves?

No Rex Ryan Ever. He is too Much of a distraction.

Can't blame it all on Flacco. The system was not set up well from the start. No consistent run game and when you expect a 37 year old, Mike Wallace a burner, and Breshad Perriman another burner to play in a dink and dunk system catching hitches all the time it won't turn out well. The team needs to go back to the deep passing game. Totally agree. But we need to get better in protection. Roethlisberger barely broke a sweat and didn't get sacked once. West and Juszczyk missed blocks and gave up easy sacks. Also, until the other Team knows the Ravens are dedicated to the Run they are gonna play Zone to take away the deep ball.

Harbs should be Fired He is horrible clock management ,Horrible game time adjustments ,doesn't use personnel correct ,does not know when to run or when to pass,when I sit on my couch and call the plays im pretty sure other coaches also know and last but not least Missed Playoffs 3 out of Last 4 Years where else can you work and Stink 3 out of 4 years and still have a Job 8 and 8, 10 and 6 and maybe 9 and 7 isn't stinking up the joint. If somebody said last year that we would go 6 and 2 at home and maybe 5 and 1 in the AFC North this year, I would of been Psyched. The 4 game losing streak in October was too much to overcome.

I'm glad they used Juice well yesterday, but it took almost 4 years to do it. I hope we resign him Before March 1st.

Don't forget the fake field goal with Tucker throwing in the wind.

Scripted? I thought so. The announcers kept talking about the Steeler's like they were winning and never Mentioned they sucked in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. I Guess the NFL network had their agenda and 2 football shows afterwards on Former Steelers to keep people around for. Also, a former Steeler in the Booth what a nice touch.

How do we not take shots with Wallace deep? Poor Blocking, West and KJ got Flacco blown up by missed blocks. We need a new Center , Left tackle and maybe a Right Guard if we lose Wagner to free Agency. Hopefully Joes Knee will be better next year, because he has to run or make the appearance of running to keep the defenses honest

Harbaugh hasn't even used the Veto Power yet and they want him to stop? He needs to get in Marty's ear and tell him to run at certain moments. Early in the game to keep the play action in use, and late in the game to milk the clock. Kubiak was great at that with Forsett.

Did you happen to see the verbal exchange on the NFL channel with Ray Lewis and they were announcing the QB’s? Even other NFL players were making fun of "Ray's Guy" Joe. Joe better pay attention or history will show he was just lucky and his contract was unwarranted. Quick...Pick one. A QB who puts up numbers and wins NOTHING (Example-Rivers and Ryan) or a QB who is good and has the ability to lead his team to playoff wins and a SB Victory. Matt Ryan is having a great year because of his coordinator Kyle Shanahan, we could of had him but the Ravens don't wanna take a chance on someone who could become a Head Coach, like Caldwell or Kubiak.

2 HOF Gs? Way to soon, this is K.O's first pro bowl, Yanda has 6.

I like Weddle, He is the best we have had since Ed Reed, but lets not get carried away. He couldn't carry Ed Reed's shoes when Ed was in his prime. No one threw deep on the Ravens when Reed was back there. Several teams have not only thrown deep on us, but have connected for touchdowns and their guys were so wide open you had to wonder if there were even safeties on the field. That has more to do with Jimmy Smith being injured and not going to a Zone defense until last week against the Eagles.

I think the run defense suffers from not having Jimmy Smith in their. They have to allocate resources to cover for Shareece Wrights liabilities. It felt like they were playing Zone defense instead of Man to man. Without Jimmy Smith you can't shut down Bell and Brown, you can only hope to contain them.

There are 4 one and done teams every year. Since Harbaugh has been here they Have won all of Their First games, So I wouldn't discount them.

We've been working on penalties since we were complaining about Michael Oher getting 4 a game 8 years ago. Seems the problem stems from exactly where the coach has repeatedly said it stems from, coaching. Discipline is solely the responsibility of the head coach and for 8 years he hasn't figured out how to teach his offensive lineman how to not commit a false start. 8 freaking years. I was a little hard on Joe after the Patriots game but after re-watching the first half I have to agree with respecttheraven, our receivers dropped more passes than they caught. Wallace cost an interception and just straight out dropped a TD. Perriman was caught in la la land out on the edge when a ball smacked him in the chest when he wasnt looking. How can you blame Joe? Between penalties and receivers who have grease on their hands, as much as we get frustrated with Joe as the game winds down, had those who needed to take care of their own business earlier in the game had done so, it wouldn't have ended up that Flacco had to hurry us down the field. Let's hope they get it together before these last three games however, I am not holding out much hope but the silver lining is we had a great draft, if we can follow that up with another one, lock up B Williams and a few others and we will do far better next season. Perriman its either Feast or Famine. Brandon Williams should be Franchised at least. Draft and free agency we need 3 DB"s , 3 offensive lineman, and another pass rusher. Might be losing Wagner. I can't figure out the false starts on Offense, but the penalties on special teams are worse. They put the offense up against the Goal line. Well at least Hester is gone.

Draft and Free Agency we need to pick up 3 new CB's.

Ray Didn't throw 11 touchdowns in the 2012 Playoff run.I really don't care what Ray says he is retired, move on.

They need to run the ball, and run, and run. 52 passes to 15 runs is Terrible. You can't have Play Action if the Defense Knows you are going to throw it all the time. When Kubiak was Coordinator he kept running and Forset got most of his yards late in the game.The Patriots had a zone dense and rushed 3 players alot, and we didn't run? The OC needs to get on the ball and say "Run".

"Next Man Up" is a nice saying but it does Nothing for the Talent Drop off without Jimmy Smith on the Field. The emergence of Darren Waller? 8 catches is not an emergence, Crockett Gilmore is needed.
