You're right I just want this offseason to go great because I feel like we are so close to another Super Bowl but our few holes that we have are big ones that need to be filled immediately but also the correct way.

In a perfect world us signing Tony Jefferson and Stephon Gilmore in free agency would be nice. Then pair them with a receiver and corner from the draft and I would be a happy ravens fan for the offseason.

Looking forward to the Patriots. Our Patriots meetings go two ways every time we play. 1. Its a competitive game, both defenses and the offenses are neck and neck and executing and it basically comes down to who can score last. Those games usually are 17-21, 14-21, 21-28, 21-27 2. We start out ok but then immediately it gets out of hand. Brady throwing 3 or 4 TDs on us and he just carves up our secondary, picking on that one out the loop corner we have. (shareece Wright will be that of course)

If there is a search for a new OC after the season, I hope they look for a new upcoming young guy for the job. Part of the problem is hiring these old re-tread coaches that have an offensive scheme that hasn't evolved w/ the times. In my opinion Marty is just a fill in for this season and will be immediately replaced, at least I hope. I do agree 100% its time for some new blood. Its time for new blood in more than a few spots on the ravens actually.

For the love of god, I'm not talking about his 2012 campaign. I'm talking every year since that (except when Kubiak was the OC). If he would play like he did in 2012 or 2014, I would shut my mouth, cause the man would be earning his buck. But the matter of the fact is he's playing worse every year since. Another thing, of course I'm proud about our 2012 triumph and the way the entire team, including Flacco performed. And I'm ecstatic about the overall success of our franchise. I mean, 2 Lombardi trophies in 20 years is most of other teams have to show for. This is one of my go-to arguments whenever some other teams' fans starts huffing and puffing. However, CAN WE PLEASE STOP LIVING IN THE PAST?! It's one thing to be proud of your past success, reflect and feel good about it. It's another thing to get hung up on your glory days. Every time I see one of our fans with the talk "But in 2012..." I immediately remember the arrogant "We-have-6-titles" Steelers' fans. WHO CARES about 2012 or 2000 or whatever amount of titles any team has won previously! The only season that matters now is 2016 and how far you get this year, that's it! And let me ask you this, whobilly, do you want to remain reminiscent about our 2012 season or do you want to get another SB win? I for one would like to see the confetti drop again some time soon. For that, one of the following has to change: 1) Flacco's game or 2) cap hit created by Flacco's salary, so we could afford more high level players. And I for one don't see any indication that Flaccos's playing level will improve any time soon. soooo he plays bad since getting paid except for the yeah he played good since getting paid? or is it that he plays bad since the year he played good since getting paid? I think the most important lesson here is that joe has played well since getting his contract and will play well if in an appropriate system. He is just an easy target, simple things for simple people. Blame everything on everything else but ... SMH They paid him good money to impact games, not to be the one carried by everything else. There is no perfect team. Good players have to make up for the deficiencies. In your argument we would be chasing this nirvana. Joe needs a perfect Oline, Joe needs the best WRs, Joe needs the best defense to not allow the other team to come back, Joe needs a good game plan, the run/pass ratio must be balanced, Joe needs a great play call, Joe needs a great OC, Joe needs a great head coach, Joe needs Ozzie to draft better than anybody else etc. Joe can't do everything by himself of course, but look at his play. Ozzie should have kept KO, he is a proven talent one of our own. I don't believe that it was either KO or Weddle and Wallace. I think we could still have had both. The Ravens mediocrity can't be blamed solely on Joe, but a 9th yr veteran can play better. If he played better even with all of our deficiencies, we will threaten the Super Bowl. We have talents all over the place. Suggs, BW, Jernigan, Mosely, Doom (when comes back), Weddle, J. Smith, SSS, Wallace, Perriman, Pitta, Yanda, West, Stanley etc Great special team. don't forget about Tucker. I think if we compete we can beat any team consistently. Lets just put it another way.....Imagine this Ravens team with Priest Holmes, Shannon Sharpe, Ed Reed and Rod Woodson. It really is about playmakers! How unrealistic! So the Ravens nation would have to wait for the second coming of Holmes, Sharpe, Reed, and Woodson. What a nirvana! It'll be much simpler if the players we have just elevate their games. We got a combination of old guys, mediocre guys, good guys who can't stay healthy and rookies. Its really about the coaching honestly though, Marty and Pees are just not good coaches.

Signing Wright was bad from the beginning imo. The Chargers and 49ers both released him for the same reasons. He's a good tackler who is awful at covering. ( I think he wanted a big contract fro one of the teams too for some reason lol)

I agree with points 1,2 and 3 but we did run the ball. Dallas just started clamping down on it at some point. We need a consistent o-line and some damn corners bad! CB and S should be # 1 and 2 on our draft board in my opinion.

We started playing that stupid prevent defense (which is why Pees should be fired). Also our defense dropped like 3 picks that would have erased all hope for the Steelers before that scoring run.

Yeah, I know. But I can't think for another reason why veteran QB like Flacco consistently fails to audible running plays so they won't run head first into defenders on the edges. Maybe he's not big friends with West and tries to hand out some punishment for him? What do u think? Not well-blocked, maybe? Not a great scheme, perhaps? You know Flacco doesn't audible or read defenses anyway. He just calls the play and executes. Whatever happens, happens.

I agree Flacco needs a line and a good running game ( which we just completely stop after the 1st half) to succeed. He's not a star. He doesn't read defense, audible,release the ball quick or look at more than 2 reads. That means the receivers need to get OPEN and make sure there routes are ran correctly and catch the ball. So, though Joe is looks like trash he needs playmakers on the offense and defense

Love your comments. You are one of the few fans that make sense. That's rediculous we r talking about A 9 year super bowl mvp. Who Ray gave the throne to this team. So eyes are definitely on him ?and he has yet to do the study in the film room that Ray and Ed did , that's why they were true elite leaders that made everyone around them better Do to there study football iq and passion for the game. I never would doubt flacco. He has proved he can be elite at times in the past.with all the experience one has I would like to see better accuracy communication with the offense during pre snap reads, make proper adjustments put your offense in position to succeed. The defense has given flacco chance after chance for years to date and over all he did fair. Yea he gave us A chance to win every game lol that's A dabateable argument. The proof is in the results. Still a long season ahead to show and prove. It's 50/50 the rest to be determined. I agree with everything but at 9 years Flacco is what he is. We've all been saying the same things the past few years and he's yet to do them. He does need an actual line though no matter how open receivers are, the panthers have proved that.

I agree with everything your saying. We are still living in the early 2000s and look blindly at the changing of the league. We have too much pride for some reason.

I think Jimmy Smith has looked pretty darn good this season outside of the touchdown he allowed last week. He had Beckham shut down up until he left the game. Hes not the problem lol Yea Jimmy has been good but he's not a #1 corner in my opinion. He needs a Marcus Peters or atleast a Josh Norman next to him.

Kenneth Dixon looks like he's going to be around in this league for a while.... I hope I'm right.

No we needed a receiver from this draft but we didn't get the right one. SSSr is old and ready to retire, Perriman needs to show me something this season, Wallace is a good pickup, Aiken is proven but he's a #2 to 3 at best, M Brown is struggling and has a slight chance of getting cut, Camp can't stay health to save his life, Matthews is a nice big body receiver but its a reason he was cut from a WR needy Seahawks at that time, D Brown showed little flashes and Butler showed the most promise to me out of our younger WRs. The rest of those guys are trash. I would've liked a corner though instead of Chris Moore and then picked up Rashard Higgins.
