I appreciate the optimism, Kevin. But this has been the same optimism every year we haven't made the playoffs as well. Everyone always says "The Ravens have a had a sneaky good offseason", yet we fall short. The Patriots have visibly good off seasons, and they remind us every season why they are better than us. They beat us on, and off the field. They outcoach us, proof of that can be found in every trick play they've ran against us (Edelman pass, blocked FG stunt). Lastly, we didn't fall by short by inches because Antonio brown reached over the line, we could tell all season the Ravens were not championship ready.

Dear Eisenberg, I don't mean to offend you in any way - But your articles are the worst... A few come to mind where you just don't make sense, or appear to be heavily biased towards Ozzie and the Ravens. The fans have the right to be biased, you don't, you should be professional about it. Example: One you are saying "Ravens do a great job of not jumping into free agency early", then the next day after the sign someone early "This was classic Ozzie making a great move!" When is the last time you wrote something that remotely questioned what the Ravens were doing? Lastly, instead of praising everything the Ravens do, how about you start helping the fans out a bit by asking the tough questions? Those questions that we can't ask, because we are not in your spot. Thanks, Frank

Ravens fan here. To all my bro-fans who are feeling "positive" simply becaue the Ravens are "not getting blown out every game", wake up. Sure we are not the classic Raiders or Titans, but we are 1-6, should be 0 and 7, and we are a bad team. We are far from a good team, and if you disagree, just ask yourself what would happen if we played the Patriots right now? My god, it would be 50 - 7. As much as I hate to say it, THATS a good team, a team that puts points on the board, and is not feeling good about themselves simply because "they are in every game". Give me a break, WIN.

Dear Eisenberg, A lot of good questions from our fans below. Why doesn't anybody step up and ask these tough questions to Harbaugh?

Let's not kid ourselves here, stop trying to live in the past. We are not good this year, not nearly as good as we were last year. Schedule monster? The Raiders? Losing has had nothing to do with the schedule, we are just bad. I don't want anyone to misunderstand me, I love my Ravens, and still cheer for them every week... but it is what it is this year. Note: Draft busts like Terrance Brooks, Matt Elam, Arthur Brown, Chykie Brown, etc are starting to catch up with this team.
