Why Are We Such a Bad Team on the Road?

"Horrid to watch"? I'm still here in Houston. I fly back to Baltimore tomorrow. Try sitting in the stands for that garbage. Thank God the Houston fans were all nice. But that game couldn't end soon enough. It was like a nightmare that I kept having over and over.

I have to start rethinking these road trips if the Ravens are going to consistently not show up. Kansas City and Phili both were pretty brutal. But not like Houston today. Good Lord.

at least if it was the worst performance you were going to watch, let it be at Houston. They have an elite team and some very classy and respectful fans. Philly fans are flat out awful.

I live in FL and was ready to drive 5 hours to see what I thought would be the Ravens dismantling the Jags. Luckily I said I would wait til they player the Dolphins and stayed home to watch on tv. Was very happy I didn't follow through with that investment.

The offense sucked today but Suggs is officially back. Surprised he was back this early. Maybe him playing will distract analyst's for th next 2 week's...

So when can we start giving Harbaugh flak for not getting this team prepared on the road? According to some posters here is in infallible.

Aww yeah! Its that time of the year again. Pitchforks and torches and let's storm the Castle! Does anyone know how long Cams new contract was for? I don't ever remember them releasing the details.

Cause we dont pack our run game n defense. Steelers won on the road by pounding the rock and disguising looks on defense. I support the up tempo offense, but preferably during home games. its so tough to win on the road that we have to take some pressure off joe. In regards to the defense, Dean Pees is soft. He needs to call and mix more man n zone blitz's. All we do is rush 4...who really cant generate pressure on a consistent basis and opposing qbs often times than not pick us apart. If ur gonna get killed in the passing game at least go down sending heat with different looks behind them. Todays game was horrendous but i still believe we can do something special.

"It's like we're two different teams right now, on the road versus at home," Baltimore safety [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/3552/ed-reed"]Ed Reed[/url] said. "And like Coach said, we need to look at everything from upstairs to downstairs. Everybody needs to look at themselves and make those corrections that we need to make. Look at how we call plays, what plays we call, what mistakes we made defensively, what mistakes we made offensively, special teams, that put us in a hole." - Ed Reed

Outside of the first half the of Philly game the play on the road has been abysmal all around.

If they don't know the solution, I definitely don't.

Philly must have been a nightmare, their fans are so ruthless! At least the KC game was a win.

I love Harbaugh but man, at times he seems like he is just overcome with all the mistakes we make. That might just be how he operates, but I'd like to see a little more fire. And obviously the preparation was lackluster. ugh.

I'm not sure you can blame Harbaugh for the road game streak. It's not like he prepares any different, it's just another game on the schedule. The players must get spooked by angry fans or something.
