4 weeks in a row (including our last game last year) Joe has had the ball last with enough time to get the job done. 3 of those games he threw interceptions with the game on the line. The blame is squarely on him. If he wants to be considered elite, those are the plays he has to make.

You have a legit point here. Although we were a few defensive stops away from not needing to put Flacco in that situation. I guess it goes both ways.

If another WR we are obviously in trouble, but what really worry's me is next year. After SSS retires who do we have? I don't see the Ravens bringing any young talent along. Waller, Camp, Brown, ext. need touches and reps to improve. I'm sure there is a plane in place but I have no idea what it is.

Well I think the plan is to have Perriman take over that role. I know he's a hated person on this board, but my gut tells me that he's not going to be injured forever. I still like Camp in that slot guy. Maxx and Crock are our future TE's. So if Perriman pans out, then Ozzie needs to grab a legit #2 possession receiver to compliment him on the other side.

Waller...Brown...Aiken... Nothing special about them whatsoever.

Good: Steve Smith is a monster.

Bad A: The lack of a run game.

Bad B: Offense got off to a really slow start in that first half.

Ugly: The big plays allowed by our secondary. Just awful.

We also lost 3 straight in 2008, going from 2-0 to 2-3. We ended up 11-5.

That's where our minds need to be. Winning the next 2 games and going from there. Harbaugh needs to get everyones mind focused in that locker room. As Flacco mentioned, you have to believe you can win these games.

@Steelers, Browns, Chargers, Jags, Rams, @Browns, @Dolphins = All games where we have zero excuse not to win. If we do, then we'll be 7-5 heading into a 3 game homestand.

Easier said than done of course. But it's a long season with a favorable middle part of that schedule ahead of us.

I know Jimmy chased Green around for 227 yards.  Not sure what the reception's allowed were...  The guy took it hard last night.  I just cannot imagine that a guy fresh off a Lisfranc injury could have done better at it.  Personally, I'm not going to fault him at this point.... My thought is that we need communication, chemistry and cohesion back there.

It seemed that way. But Jimmy wasn't on AJ for that 80 yarder.

A couple thoughts...

1. The front office and coaches put way too much trust in players like Aiken and Brown. Both were undrafted for a reason and neither have shown playmaking ability. They definitely deserve spots on our roster, but not in such a large role. Lost in all of this is how invisible Aiken is on the field.

2. The bad news is that we are 0-3. The good news is that we had late leads in all 3 of those losses. We aren't getting blown out in these games. We just aren't disciplined enough to close them out. All in all, we lost 3 straight games. Whether it happened in weeks 10,11,12 or 1,2,3. Win Thursday, and then take care of the Browns, and we are 2-3 heading to SF.

3. Our pass rush needs needs to be addressed this offseason. We can't rely on Suggs and Doom for eveything. We need young depth. Players with fire and energy. We had a few, but unfortunately they went on to larger roles and contracts elsehwere.

4. Perriman is going to be a player for us. I don't understand why everyone is upset with a player for being hurt. Misleading injury updates aren't his fault.

5. Camp needs more snaps. He has Julian Edelman written all over him. Short passes with YAC is where this league is. I'm tired of watching Marlon and Aiken run long routes in slow motion with the corners right beside them.

I'm wondering whether the link was inaccurate. The PFF page has him pegged with 3 targets, 3 receptions allowed for 46 yards. It was definitely easy to tell that Webb had a solid game, at least for me it was. I went as far as saying that he was our best CB yesterday right after the game.

Do you know Jimmy Smiths total receptions/yards allowed yesterday?
