Roman is a good hire. Let's see if they actually back up all this talk in 2017.

Bisciotti is a great owner, but how can you hang on to Marty M. after that Run-Pass imbalance so drastic? Didn't Marty call all those pass plays this year? How does another year of Marty change that equation?

Ozzie is a great talent evaluator at every position except WR and QB imo. He doesn't know what to look for in those guys/hasn't drafted a Pro Bowler at those positions. I still have faith that Perriman can become a matchup nightmare, but he still has a long way to go.

Don't forget Sizzle played through a torn bicep which is supposed to be a season ending injury. I want new blood, but if Sizzle is healthy, there isn't anyone better. Suggs would have a benefited greatly from a healthy Doom, or legit pass rusher opposite of him.

What about our Offense? Were they good enough for a SB run? (Heck No!) The defense won 7 games our offense won 1 game (Dolphins). We could have won more games if we let Tucker kick every FG when in his range. Marty & Harbaugh preferred to let Flacco turn the ball over or fail on 4th down conversions instead of the "Automatic" 3 points.

And there's the dagger!! But what about our sorry offense? Were they good enough for a SB run?

Offensive identity and Offensive Coordinator is our greatest Flaw. Not understanding the value of time of possession and limiting the amount of snaps a defense sees. The lack of talent on the offensive line. Yanda and Stanley are here to stay, but C: Zutah, RG: (Lewis/Ducasse), and RT: Wagner are all worth upgrading. Defensively heck yeah we need another starting CB that can cover along with Tavon Young and Jimmy Smith. That gives us some flexibility when someone is hurt. There is no such thing as too many pass rushers in this pass happy league.

So the logic behind the Washington firing is: (Hey Coach Washington, you are such a great coach and have done such a great job that we are going to fire you, because you can find a better job elsewhere). I am going to call the bluff on this idea. This website gets harder and harder to read every day as the Ravens fluff overtakes reality. (Maybe I am wasting my time here) We definitely can't let Doom go unless we have another capable rusher. The issue the who season on defense was the lack of 2 good rushers due to his injury. Then our issue became the lack of starting caliber corners when Jimmy went down.

Losing Jimmy took us from having 2 good CB's to only 1. Yeah that creates problems when Shareece Wright is playing 60+snaps. Real problem is how bad our offense is. They put our defense in bad spots all year yet the Defense held up in every win or close loss. Throwing the ball 70% of the time is the biggest reason our offense and defense sucked. The defense played too many snaps. Too many chances for NFL offenses to craft successful drives.

Some players are drafted because of their NFL traits and potential. Coming from a small school in Boise, Correa needed a full year on the bench before he is ready to contribute. Harbaugh is also notorious for playing the veteran over the better player, so Correa didn't get playing time this year.

Best regular season for a kicker in NFL history. 38/39 10/10 from 50+. His only miss came on a blocked kick where the Pats out-schemed us. In a league where kickers can't make extra points Tucker is automatic from 50+.

We need a C, G, RT, RB, and Offensive Coordinator. We also need another CB, S, and more Pass Rushers. Drafting Dalvin Cook, Deont'a Foreman in the 1st almost forces you to commit to the running game. That's what I am rooting for at No 16 overall.

Greg Roman would have been an excellent addition and a real commitment to the running game. He was a winner in SF and made Buffalo respectable on offense with Tyrod Taylor. A guy who knows how to use the talent he is given. Mike McCoy is more in tune with today's NFL and still produced solid offenses without any talent or help from his GM. We will miss the playoffs again with Marty. That is a fact. It gives me 0 hope in next season.

I can't believe we stuck with Marty. That has to go down as one of the worst personnel decisions I have seen made in the NFL. This is NOT a playoff team and won't ever be throwing the ball over 40 times a game.

That doesn't mean he's gonna fire Harbaugh before the end of next season though. I have to say that I agree with Pitta and Joe to a degree. We haven't had consistency on this team in these positions since the Super Bowl. Sometimes the only way to improve isn't always to create a revolving door, "until you get the right person in here", as much as it is to train your people to be the right guy. Sometimes that takes time and work. If these guys work that well with this coordinator, and don't want another change, I'd say let's see what that does before we go throwing people under the bus. If some members here had their way, they'd completely clean house. Problem is Marty throws the ball 40 times a game and doesn't. Joe Flacco will never be successful in that style of offense. It just wears out our defense and they eventually breakdown.

BOOOOOOOO

We never used any of our playmakers the proper way. Our offense had 1 good game (Miami) the entire year. Lets bring Marty back...WOW Lets throw the ball 70% of the time some more. IMO we pick top 10 next year unless we fire Marty early.

Are we trying to suck for a great QB in the 2018 draft? This has to be a joke.

How is Joe so oblivious? His best offensive season was with Kubiak and he hasn't been effective in a pass happy offense...

Flacco showed no respect for Smith who was the only playmaker of the last 3 years protecting his job.

I lost respect for Flacco. It gone. Bye.

And Steve Smith Sr only got 5 targets in his final game!!! I officially lost respect for Flacco. Also we threw 51 times and only ran 16. Heck of a game plan.

It may do with strength of schedule, or record against common opponents as a calculating factor to get the last team in. http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

Why didn't we feed Steve in the 3rd and 4th Quarter when we were down? I lost respect for Flacco yesterday.

Not sold on Pees leaving, but his prevent defense needs a major assessment. Our offense has shot our defense in the foot all year. Then we lose Jimmy Smith and go from having 2 good starting corners to just 1. And that 1 is Tavon Young who is only 5 10 which is a mismatch against Tall WRs. Our Offense was a 3 and out machine this year. Our defense played a lot of snaps this year. They will fatigue at some point. It happens if you can't control the clock on offense.
