IDK guys I am just so depressed right now. I guess that is why my posts are so negative. Sorry, I just hate losing to the Steelers. I was on such a high beating the Chargers, I just thought we had this today at home.

What a way to blow our home, steeler, and division win streaks
[/quote]

Two home win streaks broken... the consecutive streak and the not having lost since 04 when up by 10 at home.

Stunned doesn't even describe how I feel right now. This defense is horrendous at every level and in every aspect.

Speaking of Shooting where has PlexiGlass been?
[/quote]

Apparently he was the only guy we could cover since batch never found him wide open in the second half smh

does it matter to us if cinci won? or does it just affect the steelers?
[/quote]

Only really affects the Steelers. Helps the Bengals keep pace with our boys for the division crown, but hurts the Steelers more.

i'm sick of our receivers not getting open. i haven't seen 1 game where joe didn't have to fight for his life all the time. cam is running out of excuses. if hes here next year, i'm not a ravens fan anymore. 6 years = no way. this offense couldn't be any worse than it is with cam. our window wouldn't be closing if our FO made 1 simple move. c'mon

[oryeman]

Cam is just a bum, no matter what happens this season he needs to go. Or Flacco needs to man up and start Audibling out of his predictable play calling

Well Emmanuel Sanders, you tried...

Raven fans you have a owner that is completely clueless.

whaaaaat?

[cobrajet]

I also hate losing our 1 game lead over the Broncos and Patriots.

[Kwothdaraven]

Joe was very innaccurate today but the terrible (once again) playcalling certaintly didnt help. The steelers had tons of variety and never abandoned the run. Cam called maybe 4 different types of plays all game

Better conference record, which is the tiebreaker with 3 9-3 teams.

Sadly, watching Flacco's expression even in some of our wins lately, I think it might come down to Cam is gone or he will sign elsewhere.

I know what your saying but most on here say every loss is the world ending and just want to yell and whine all the time

It's annoying.. I expect this kind of attitude from 12 year old girls playing colleyball not grown adults..
[/quote]

The way this offense played, the way Joe played was horrid. Its a trend with this offense Joe misses deep balls, and Cam stops calling run plays. This is the season where the offense was suppose to step up and help the D. Deep down inside of most ravens fans they know if Ben was there we would have lost both games, mainly because of the offense. Frustration builds up, because everyone expects a better offense, a better Joe, but it is the same thing from prior years.

[dpatrickguy]

Why werent we running any short routes across the middle or any comebacks or something like that? It's like Cam saw how much pressure they were getting and decided to do nothing about it

lol well he is definitely not completely clueless but he is blind when it comes to the Cam love he seems to share with Harbs.

[luvrayrice27]

this loss wouldn't hurt as bad if texans and the patriots had lost...their schedule seems so easy

[cobrajet]

We better get things together quick, we have some tough games ahead guys.

Thank God Flacco is in his contract year. At the end of this season he'll find out why he didn't get extended last year. Add his name to the list of worthless QB's the Ravens and Ozzie have drafted. Tired of seeing other teams draft good QB's and we draft garbage. I supported this piece of crap the first 2 yrs, expecting some maturing to come along the way and the veteran experience to make a difference. I didn't realize he was a rock, and you can't teach a rock to jump.

[display name]

I don't get it.

[ravne05]

The buck stops at the owner he kept Cam Cameron and now he is paying the price for a horrible play caller and why he he still has his job is beyond me.

You might get your wish because if I was Joe I wouldn't touch this team with a 10 ft pole as long as Cam is here.

Well, we still have 4 games to make up for tonight. If we end up having a bye in the playoffs then who cares.

Oh, and one more good thing: Flacco has just saved a couple of millions of cap space for next season: he must have shaved off quite some of the sum they'll want (unless we end up winning the bling). Not because of the loss, but because he kept making bad deciions - it looked like he had a bet that he'll throw a >30 yarder today. He doesn't look like he's having his contract season so far. the #1 thing people criticized of him was consistency - and so far he's been proving them right. He's awfully inconsistent - and not only in execution, but also in making decisions. I've been a fan of him so far, but this game made me sit back on the fence. Not because we lost, but because he seems to have forgotten he's got options and went back to deep pass attempts after deep pass attempts - with most of them not even near any chance of completition. The Flacco we've seen this season (so far) hasn't proven any of the critics' points wrong while proving many of them right.

He's easily good enough to take the Ravens into the Super Bowl, even to win it - but this season he's been nowhere near "elite" - not even "good" many times...

And the problem is that he's a full-fledged veteran. If he's able to be consistent, he should have shown that by now. He hasn't.

Flacco's at 4th & 29 in proving he's an elite QB material.

As fir the team, we're 9-3, I still say we'll end up 12-4 "as usual". Whether that's good enough for a first round bye depends largely on the Texans v Pats game. Now that we're 2 games down on the Texans, it's suddenly clear we'll have to hope for a Texans-win, for that's about the only game on the Pat's remaining roster they can realistically lose. If they win that, it's gonna be the wild card round, which means an official stepback from last season.

But let's see how the season unfolds.

lol @ Flacco being worthless when for starters Cam takes away a huge dimension of the pass game (slants).

[ravne05]

You can take away the name Joe Cool away now and start calling him Joe panic

Harbs is a ST coach, he has no clue how to be a Offense cord.
[/quote]

Speaking of John Harbaugh, what does this man actually DO? Yeah, he was a ST coach, but the first 3-4 years he was with the Ravens, the ST was mediocre to awful. He doesn't know defense; he doesn't offense; and he's an absolute baffoon when it comes to time and TO management. He has never, ever out-coached anyone, except when he calls trick plays at bizarre moments (e.g., the fake FG against the Raiders). Also, he obviously isn't big about instilling dicipline into his players since the Ravens seem to scrap with every team they've faced this year and make stupid penalties. His insufferable arrogance has alienated more than one player on this team, as well as people and fans in the media.

If there was ever a tail-coat riding award, John Harbaugh has to be the #1 candidate year in and year out.

[slowhand]

Joe is throwing the ball to receivers that can't get open, behind an O-line that can't block. I just don't understand how people are putting this loss on Joe's shoulders. He wasn't good today, but he is nowhere near the top of the list of reasons why the Ravens lost.

[Jebspinder]

Tonight, Flacco reminded me of the days when I used to wish Kyle Boller would get injured so we could play our backup. Not saying our backup would have done any better. But it would have explained why we looked so bad tonight.

The next time Flacco thinks about saying he is an "Elite QB" he needs to look at this game. He was outplayed by Grandpa Batch & company tonight. Until he gets it together and takes charge of the offense like a real elite QB, he will be admiring the Lombardi trophy from afar. And Raven's fans will continue to be disappointed like we were tonight.

Don't mind me, I'm just posting a picture of the entire Cam Cameron playbook.
