Week 7 - Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

[JoeCool#5]

When you allow a 32nd ranked rushing offense get 141 yards on just 29 carries, averaging 4.89 yards/carry. You deserve to lose.  

[Alexir]

What a passive, complacent statement.

 

Cool.

[ravne05]

Everybody on this board put your bets in Harbaugh will defend the onside kick with some stat he pulls out of the sky just hit the green arrow if your betting.

[PerpetuallyBored74]

Who would've thought that our coaches would be responsible for this team getting the dreaded Super Bowl Hangover?

[Claire]

We can't put points on the board.  That's the bottm line.  When you don't put points on the board, you don't win.  Field goals aren't going to do it.  The defense held them to one TD, good job, as usual.  They held us to one TD too.  They just got one more FG than we did.  No reason to bash our defense.  We need an offense that can score.  If the running game isn't working then bottom line the passing game is going to have to pick up the slack.

someone needs to be fired...I might feel better

[JoeCool#5]

That onsides kick was the back breaker.

Can't really blame Harbs there. For the D could never get off the field. Rather have their running game chew up 40yards and clock then 80 yards & 8 more minutes of the clock. 

[ravensdfan]

 
What? You have nothing to say about a defense that didn't force the opposition to punt other than on their first drive of the game? Literally, did not force a punt the entire game. That allowed the other team to have 8 minute drives, 10 minute drives and score every drive?
The offense was not great today but once Caldwell & Harbaugh got out of Joe's way, we moved the ball and scored. The defense only needed one stop. In fact, if they had managed to stop the Steelers on any one of their scoring drives, we win.

[blackbird29]

What has Rex Ryan done to validate that?

What hasn't be done in that case? He went to the jets and led them to championships just like Harbum minus a Super Bowl. Doesn't seem to be doing too bad this yr either. Beat the patriots today to go 4-2.

[cnyravens]

Good hard game today. Our guys played very well. Tough loss but we will fix it. We have a bye week so we will look at it and see what needs to be done. Hats off to a good Steelers team. I like the decision to try an onside kick with 14 min left in the game. It's no one person's fault. We just need to execute better...blah blah blah!

Good hard game yes......our guys played well....uh...no they didn't.

 

No offense and you are entitled to your opinion but in case you didn't know THE STEELERS STINK!!!!!

Their O-line is a MASH unit and a total joke and yet they ran the ball down our throats all day.

 

Ravens will regroup but time to take a good look in the mirror and start playing Ravens football.

[sflegend89]

Worst ST unit we've ever had under harbaugh, we're missing BA. 2 blocked punts this year is a testament to that. I'm embarrassed to lose to a mediocre Steelers team that deserved a big fat L if only harbaugh didn't go out of our way to shoot us in the foot. reminds me of that stupid trick play call in the SB, just take the points it's the freakin' SB. Now today, just have Tucker kick the ball out of the endzone, stop being impatient and let the game play out, give the defense a chance to make a stop!

[baroquenspirit]

At this point we can use a head coach.  If he cant get his coaches in line then we don't need him.  You all are sold on his record.  He hides his lack of coaching by hiring all these other coaches.  This is not a young team as far as football years.  We have a nice blend of rookies and vets.  They are getting out coached every week. 

 

Why gamble on the onside kick with them having trouble moving the football.

 

Why are we coming out of halftime Discombobulated. 

 

Why is Castillo here? Spags? No improvement 

Even if he called one bad game...Harbaugh is an excellent NFL coach. Cmon, man, you cannot argue with his body of work. I understand being hacked...believe me, we have asked plenty of questions about Tomlin this year. But you will have to look long and hard to find a coach with the amount of success Harbaugh has begun his career with. 

[sticks999]

Remember, even as bad as last week and this week was . . they were ours to win with reasonable game coaching.

Thank you, if it weren't for that onside kick, Flacco may have never have gotten the ball back anyway

[Alexir]

Not sure if this against code of conduct or not, but I really think the ones whining about this loss and complaining about our Head coach or blaming Flacco have no football knowledge (or common knowledge)and really should just get off of the forums. Rex Ryan is not a great coach. Flacco is not to blame.

 

Defensive line and offensive line control the games and neither are doing well. If executed correctly, you would of said the onside kick was great.

 

I really hate you as Ravens fans. I love the Ravens but I think I meet more stupid Ravens fans than any other fan base out there. Including D.C. and Pittsburgh....So bandwagon and you guys just want to go Donald Trump on everyone and fire this, fire that.

[blackbird29]

Ravens fans. I can see you disagreeing with your coach or thinking he called a bad game. But I gotta tell you, your coach does not suck. He didn't suddenly get bad overnight because you are struggling this season. As a Steeler fan, I hate Harbaugh....but I think he is an excellent NFL coach. He has a huge body of work that proves it. To me, throwing this guy under the bus makes you seem clueless.

No the dumb calling makes him seem clueless. Congrats on the win. You guys earned it.

He just defended it..hes a JOKE

Preach

[luvrayrice27]

if u look at our roster, I see good players but we just cant execute whenever we get on the field...idk y other than on paper we don't look good...I guess im just starting to question the coaching...hmmm

Thank you! This! Good grief...you are seven games removed from a title...your coach didn't suddenly wake up stupid.

[4everraven]

What are we now for the regular season last 12 games? 4-8? That's way underachieving for this team....coaching is horrendous! Thank God for the Super Bowl run. That's all we have until Feb. We are still the champs. Rest of this season is going to be difficult.

[Jokerraven]

I think there were positives from this game. they always play us tough . bad loss but we have allot of season left and as long as we have this good young team we will get it together . Love my ravens and you can't win them all . much needed bye coming up .

Dont waste your time man, but thanks for being respectable.

 

Most of us know that Harbs is a good coach, I just think that our fan base has gotten a little spoiled over the years. But both of our teams have good coaches,  this is a well coached division. You guys got a breathe of life this week. Look forward to the rematch.

I was just quoting what Harbum will prob say in his post game speech. I think the Ravens played like garbage and are lucky to have the wins they have. Barely beat the browns, beat a texans team who couldn't beat themselves in scrimmage and barely snuck by the Dolphins. I won't apologize for anything I say. This team is garbage

[berad]

What hasn't be done in that case? He went to the jets and led them to championships just like Harbum minus a Super Bowl. Doesn't seem to be doing too bad this yr either. Beat the patriots today to go 4-2.

What championships? Jets don't even have a division championship on their resume'. John has two, an AFC championship, and a SB trophy.

Harbaugh is 66-34 (0.66 win proportion) - 5/5 seasons of playoffs
Ryan is 42-35 (0.55 win proportion) - 2/4 seasons of playoffs

Not to mention the circus the Jets are on and off the field.

[luvrayrice27]

so weird that the bengals are freakin 5-2 and we're 3-4 and tied with Cleveland...??? :34853_shakehead:

[ravne05]

I blame Steve for not taking me up on my offer to work for minimum wage to take over Caldwells job

[blackbird29]

He just defended it..hes a JOKE

Of course he would. Good old HarBUM

[luvrayrice27]

I would have rather have our offense and defense from last year...we were so much better

Harbs is not a good coach.  He is a talking head at best.  The Ravens succeed when the players motivate themselves.
