We have no energy no fire not impact! We need someone who can get the fire lit. Weddle was suppose to be that one ? He says they can get better? well if you look at Becks last touch down you will see Tavon covering well until Weddle throws a pick on him? The great ones follow his man and the ball if he would have done so perhaps a pick would have been in the making? Watch the tape. Instead Tavon falls down Beck catches the pass and the rest is history? That was not a vetern move. Perhaps our Savior rest in a mediocre player, someone the right words the right attitude? Are our players not passionate about the gane? I have to question that for most it is just a Job and all about money. Having money is great but having conviction? Ray had conviction SSS has conviction! I love the game with PASSION and wish I could play at my old age(55)? But more importantly at this point what I see is a scrub butt team with no respect for themselves or the fans! Guys we come to see you PLAY LIKE RAVENS!!! This is not the Raven way. I will always be a Raven but like most Fans I am feeling cheated because of the talent and skilled players we do have. Most say they came with a chip on their shoulders? Well at this point if something does not change soon it would appear to me that they mostly lied and just wanted to draw a check like most of us do on our everyday low paying jobs?

greeting raven lovers, I must admit as Purple Hazard explained injuries are no excuse but it sure can explain. More importantly it has been expressed around the league how great Oz is? How he manages and twist and use the salary cap so efficiently? Is anyone looking and questioning the loss of Osem? It seems to be bitting us in the rear end no to mention letting Monroe go also with so must trust in our #6 draft pick? Already hit with an injury bug? A foot? Big O was durable and dependable to say the least. Why dosent New E. have these kind of issues? Their next man is always a no name who always seem to shine and thrive in the schemes environment? These are average Joes. We seem to waste time money and energy on playes who spend more time off the field than on. I understand the is no way to predict an injury issue in a player unless his history indicates so. but I believe Oz is the one in a in a slump?

# 10 sucks too every pass thrown to him he has dropped but they say he can stretch the field are you serious fellas comon! He cant even stretch his arms to catch the ball. And why is Wallace going cross the middle? Something are just hard to understand for the ravens

Oh dont let me start on Perriman! I thought we had something in him since his Father was a quality receiver? He sucks! You would think after all that down time he would have taken notes and learned something? He is a joke no hands no get open skills where is the speed? A complete joke he is! First round. I must admit that I am jealous of players like cooper and other rookie wide out who have shown flashes of their abilities. Perriman hasent torched any one or even come close? Man what a waste! 4.4 Haaaaaa Haaaaa We waited all this time for what?

Ravens I need you now! Hit me with an anti virus quick!

Somebody help me! I am about to turn into a patriot? Help me I am trying to hang on! Never thought this could happen to me thought it only happen to other people? Catch me Iam falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A team full of Micheal Campanaros!

This crap all began when we allowed ourselves to let Boldin go! injury free people go! now all we have r people related to the injury bug?

Hello everyone? I have been a Baltimore fan since the Colts! When the Ravens came to town I was soooo ecstatic! Winning two Superbowls great. However, what I don't understand is why so many problems now? The Patriots always seem to step up with or without injuries? This is becoming a real issue with me? If John is such a good coach then the time for him to show is now. His antics and political like speeches aren't cutting it! One excuses after another from him> Iam beginning to suspect it might be time for a head coach change? I look at New England year after year moving winning playoffs. With average players? Football has gotten weak nothing like the years past. This is a sport for Pre- Madonnas? Com on guys lets play ball. Ravens I realize that there are good years and there are bad years but damn it has to end sometimes! Joe you got all that money? And now you suck? it could be blamed on lots of things but there was a time when we got the ball last and needed to score touchdown or field goal we were sure to win. So the superbowl run was a fluke? Joe you throw like some damn rookie who dosent have a clue you have regressed! Now we look like the damn Jaguars? SSS comes back for this? Oh wow what memories he will have, It is not fun watching footbal when you are use to winning and your team is a complete joke and totally disrespected. However, the sports writers claimed the Ravens were crap even when they were 3-0? There was a time when we relished the moment to prove them wrong! We are just out there taking up space, no energy or hype? Thanks for the years Ray and Reed It is times like these that helps me understand just how good you guys were! Thanks for those precious memories because now we are a joke and the NFL writers love burying us deep.

How about...Are you a Ravens fan and been following all the games? How many playoffs games, regular season games Harbs bring us? including championship and Lombard trophy? The main problem here is fan like you, knee jerk reaction for every single obstacle..... @Sarah Ellison thank you for your LFW article and I am always looking forward into reading it every morning.... How many playoff games has Harbaugh been to since the Superbowl win? The answer is 1. The problem is the Head Coach. I am not calling for his job however. I just want some power taken from him and more given to the offensive and defensive coordinators because he is not an X and O coach. He has no feel for the game. He will make a good team manager but as an NFL football coach, I think we got the wrong Harbaugh. John is a politician. He says the right thing and smiles in the faces of us fans. He has deep ties to the Baltimore community.. and all that is good but we need a football coach. This article is an insult to the intelligence of us the fans. Are you kidding me right now? Last year we were hit with one of the biggest injury bugs in Ravens history. The year before we won the SB, was we not 1 FG kick away from moving on to the SB was it? Did we not lose 3 OC in two years of winning the SB? Now 4? Let me explain to you what a coach does. You can scream about knowing the X's and O's when it comes to play calling but if you can't motivate your guys, to do and play well as a HC, then you have no business being a coach. John has a vision and he shares his vision with the team. He allows coaches and players to be them selves and express themselves. He's a excellent motivator. That's his job. He keeps everything together, he's the glue. Have you not seen the many coaches that were fired because they lack that fire to rally a football team? Chip Kelly, Rex Ryan just to name a few guys. Why you think they stay in the media as terrible coaches but excellent X's and O's guys lol. Know the difference before you speculate. I'll take John ANY day over those guys because he's a leader. He has those guys believing they can pick up Thor's hammer with no problem. Give me that guy if he makes me feel that invincible as a player because that makes you play that much harder. Don't get me started, please lol. Rice baby please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was two games we are never one and done?

Well said Sami Marty's success hinges on his o-line and what he can do to help them. Unrealistic to expect dramatic changes quickly but if our o-line hadn't struggled the last 2 weeks, we could easily be 5-0 I saw instances where a screen would have stopped all that hard rushing by Washington but Mark just dosent have it but he acted as if he didnt care at all I am be bewildered ?

sure ya right!

Was going to commend you on your post but the Indians thang threw me? Orioles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please leave with those comments. Your statement is false! everyone keeps saying we have been going down hill since 2012? Not true remember we went to the play off the next year. Remember the eligible receiver deal?

Agree but even at it's basic the OL failed. Ok, we didn't have our starters but everyone knows it's next man up, if that's our OL with that philosophy then we are screwed. If the OL doesn't play better then forget about the O getting better. It all starts with the protection. This is typical in the NFL. It's highly uncommon to have starter potential sitting on your bench. They will be somewhere else starting for another team getting paid good money. That's the nature of the game. cant remember who was on the right side on Sundays game but he was getting his but chewed off by the defense! He could not hold the rush on what we believed to be an inferior squad?

This doesn't make any sense. If any team has to start their backups if not all they'll be in the same predicament. I don't understand what your argument is. Last year, our entire offense with the exception of two players where gone. Almost all our CB's where down. I think its a given that the team wasn't going to be great. Especially with an unbalanced OC calling plays. Our oline is young on the left side and we're banged up. What do you expect? Give them credit for toughing out the 3 wins. Honestly, the piss poor play calling on offense is the reason we lost the last two games because offense had the ball. You can see it all over the offense face. Couldn't get in field goal range on the Oak are you kidding? With a poor run defense and we're about 15 yards away? PA, run and work the sidelines. Nope, lets call plays with passes in the middle of the field. Trestman play calling handcuffed our offense and now that he's gone, we'll see just how good we can be. West broke runs on that hurt oline. Your argument about the injury bug holds no weight because that's any team that looses their star players. I could not agree more! You seem to take the words right out of my mouth? His play calling was purely crap. It absolutely stank!!!! If you noticed he called the same play at the end of oakland game Pass to the middle? Aikens got crushed as if the dbs knew the play, same thing Sunday same play this time it was Wallace getting crushed as if the dbs knew what was coming? Same exact play?

I am 54 years old and have been watching football for more that half of my life$0 years. I know there can be integrity lost within the game at times and I believe this is a given and comes with any sport? However, I have watched a terrible display of coaching when it comes to our offense. It seemed to me Mark did what he did intentionally! I realize that everything is not on him and there where plenty of opportunities that the Ravens had slip through their hands. Nevertheless, I fail to understand how poorly ranked defenses gave use such a hard time ? Can our receivers get separation? Are they that weak? Was the talent more superior to our own? It is hard to figure that even in the 3 wins our offensive store has been closed down! Man I cant wait to see what happens next. I watched the game last Sunday and it was like being in a bad dream! It is rather hard to understand how the whole game played out. The most bewildering thing laid with no more running after a tremendous start? What was Marks thinking on this one?It seems kind of shady to me and it seemed like sabotage. I have dealt with many people who like to be in charge being the head man per say. Could it be Mark has inspiration to coach else where? I realize everything is not on Mark however, it seems to me he had no common sense! John as a die hard Raven fan thanks for the change it was seriously needed and I have no doubt that the ball and chain will no longer be a piece of hard ware weighing us down. I believe we will fly as Ravens are meant to do?

5 touch downs in three games? thats all the scoring against us! un real! 35 points? com on man!

I agree but it seems that they can use this idea to their advantage. Knowing he will be targeted should be room for some set ups on quarter backs

you said a mouth full He knows now that he will be targeted? Knowing this how will he respond to it? will he get more help? or will it make no difference?

I know right?

yea bro!!!!!!! nice post

Seriously. He's awful. He should not start again ever. There's a reason multiple teams let him go last year hes very bad and I dont know why the staff has not taken this seriously. He is costing us He plays like crap he getts fooled on moves every time with bull crap receivers. Cooper was shut down only to have crab tree have a stellar game?

true so true

ditto
