Apparently, the sky is still not falling.

I don't think the sky is falling, but this is a serious problem.

If we can't win on the road, we can't win homefield, meaning we'd have to go on the road in the playoffs, meaning no Super Bowl, well, ever.

No it isn't falling (was just an aimed tongue in cheek remark to the people that think everything is ok). But we can't play like that - win or lose.

That was just horrid to watch. I want hours back of my life for that Ravens. I respect a loss if we actually play well in one - but there was nothing to take away from that apart from Suggs is still a factor.

It always seems whenever you try to be realistic people question your fandom. What you said is true. Under Harbaugh we've never been a good in game or mid season adjustment team and its getting very irritating. I came into this saying I wouldn't mind a loss if we weren't flat out beat down or played sloppy. If we lose by 10 in a game where we play well and they play better great. Not what happened. The defense held strong early and kept Foster in check. The offenses showing today was plain pathetic. Game plan looked terrible and the execution much worse. It looked promising on the first drive and I was quickly proven wrong. Unless the short to intermediate passing game is worked on in the bye I just see more of tho same. And can we please just start pressing. Whatever the hell else we do ISN'T WORKING. Playing off is giving up big plays so you might as well put our guys in situation to maybe give the line more time.

That is a great question and i would love to see a decent answer. I would like to think noise but that is not the case as folks run wild on us. Is awful weird how we play on the road. Someone posted a stat earlier that we are a win lose win lose team and this night fit that trend so we are due for a win next road game.. LOL I hope the Bye week brings some answers and some resolution to the teams ailments on both sides of the ball.

I don't even think it's the noise. Last week was pretty noisy for a home game (since all the Dallas fans migrated here) and the offense was scary efficient.

It seems like we don't know how to play on the road unless it's in Pittsburgh or New England.

As I see it,failure to get Ray Rice off on the road.When he is runninh he sets the tempo for the offense.Think back last year to the opening drive at Pitt and Cincinatti.Cams like th ecasino gambler that wants to bet big immediately,abondoning the play that got him there.

Coaching.


I agree with this, not being ready for road games comes down to poor coaching. It's getting a bit ridiculous really.

Yeah poor coaching leads to undisciplined play and it seems we really don't have good games plans
for away games.

Piss-poor coaching. The players dont just become half skilled on a different field. Terrible coaching schemes on both sides. But it will never get fixed because the entire coaching staff never takes any blame. Its aways player execution

Maybe it's as simple as the travel/meeting/meal schedule or something. I swear our team always looks lethargic on the road. Perhaps they should try something different.

Something has got to give this off-season. I just can't see how Cam could survive another season. If I'm Flacco, I make that a point in my contract negotiations. Knock off $3 million if you kick the idiot the curb, or so.
