Week 7 - Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

[blackbird29]

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

What we need is a real OC

[Scotty410bmore]

Of course he would. Good old HarBUM

LOL Im gonna start calling him HarFRAUD

[baroquenspirit]

He just defended it..hes a JOKE

If they recover that kick, you and everyone else hating him on here would be calling him a genius. 

[Guest RBates]

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.

He is a great team manager.  That is not what im talking about.  As a coach he makes questionable decisions and backs it up with dumb excuses.  His record can be associated with the great team he has at his disposal.  Right players wrong coach.  He chances to much at the wrong time.  He is gonna say that during the onside kick he doesn't feel that his team could stop ya'll. I had no fear of you taking back the momentum until you got the short field.

yeah someone with actual experience..because im pretty sure Caldwell has never been one before coming here

[allblackraven]

Uh. I should have really followed few wise people and check this board next week. Just how spoiled and clueless can some of you get?

[CalvinSmoke]

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

I'm sure they do... I think you've over hyped our roster in your head, we really aren't as stacked as we like to portray

[sflegend89]

Besides the Denver game that got away from us we could've won every single other game we lost if we coached better. The talent is there, this coaching staff is just bombing right now without the coaches on the field and that was Ray and Ed. Losing 2 HOF'ers is never going to be a seemless transition, even if the potential for greatness is still there. flacco played a great game, Harbaugh failed this team today with his boneheaded coaching decisions.

[ravne05]

Harbaugh so predictable read him like a book

[blackbird29]

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.

My fault. Meant to say championship appearances. And whatever circus they have its still better than the mess in Baltimore

[blackbird29]

No pretty sure he was just a QB coach

[757RavensFan]

What makes you think Harbs told him not to? Tucker was bleeding out the ear he probably wasn't balanced enough and failed to do it

Not buying that, Tucker looked good on the extra point after the touchdown.

Ironically if he didn't step out of bounds and scored on the kickoff that would have left us in better position bc we would have had 1:56 to score a TD with 2 TOs.

[noy]

You guys sound like Eagles fans. Coaching was definitely the problem there too...

 

Really ravne05? Care to hit me up with the first chapter? Is it titled "Introduction to my team's consistent playoff appearances and a Superbowl"?

[H8R]

that better not have been a coaches decsion

It most certainly WAS.

[blackbird29]

LOL Im gonna start calling him HarFRAUD

Maybe we can call the 49ers and see if we can trade coaches. We gave them Boldin. We give them another top player and all our draft picks?

[H8R]

H8R I must be wrong then, i saw him bobble it in the back of the endzone and run it out, did it bounce to him?
(No sarcasm)

It rolled to him.

[baltimore1975]

#1 Flacco is not worth 120m
#2 Because we gave him that we lost 81, 59, and 20.
#3 I wish they will admit we are rebuilding and stop telling us that we have the right pieces to make a playoff run.

More like how to always run on first down and be predictable followed by how to make questionable calls in chapter two and then how to defend them when they don't work in chapter three

That's now two boneheaded coached games in a row.

First chapter will read my loyalty to coaches who do not deserve the position

Can we please stop with this crap?

Ed Reed? You think Ed Reed is what this team needs right now? I wonder how he's doing in Houston.

extra point and kick off aren't related at all

[lowro11er]

If I were you to tell you that the Ravens were going to give up only 19 points to the Packers and the Squeelers at the start of the season, you would have expected wins in both of those games.

The Ravens offensive line is terrible, 9 out of 10 running plays they are allowing the defense to get in to the backfield. Running game doesn't have a chance. I could pick on everyone of them too. They are all guilty, they are getting off the ball & knocking anyone back. Maybe it's time for some kind of double tightend...

Do the Ravens miss Burk or what?

Throw in some questionable coaching calls = loses.

Timeout after 2 plays after the start of the half, then a delay of game after that timeout?

Ravens receivers just cannot get open enough, can't shake a defender....

I'm so tired of looking at the formation that has 3 receivers stacked together, spread them out, maybe it will open up the run & the pass.

There are games you have to win.... I know it's tough to win on the road, but come on, Buffao & the Squeelers, are games you have to win.

What the heck do I know? I'm not a coach, just a fan that seeks a little change.....

[Claire]

Wow, just realized this is our worst start in 8 years!  Wow, just wow.

I hear what you're saying but it isn't one bad game. In Denver, he ignored the tantrum his player threw on the field trying to get him to challenge a catch. and instead of the Broncos being forced to punt, the drive continued and they scored a TD. Complete momentum shift. We'll never know how that would or could have changed the game. And yes, it would have been overturned, there was clear evidence it hit the ground.

 

Versus GB, with a running game that couldn't get going, he did three running plays in a row from the 1 yd line. He decides to go for it on 4th and 1 (when a FG would have tied the game) and what does he do? Runs the ball up the gut again. Fail.

 

It's like he's in desperation mode with no idea how to motivate his team at all and can't even see the obvious issues. Such as running on 80% of first downs straight up the gut.

[arnie_uk]

It most certainly WAS.

well then that's one call you could pin this game on

[ravne05]

what stat did Harbaugh pull out on the onside kick.something like this when I see 10 crows flying over the river and the crows land all at the same time that play will work 90 percent of the time it was the right call next question.

[ravensdfan]

#3 I wish they will admit we are rebuilding and stop telling us that we have the right pieces to make a playoff run.

 

#1 Flacco is the only reason we had a chance to win this game with a defense that couldn't force the Steelers to punt once other than their first drive.

#2 Flacco's hit this year is $6 mil - it did not affect any of those players. #59 is way overpaid and so is #20. If you actually looked you'd see that after that monster first game #81 is also pretty average now.

#3 We do have talent. What we lack are talented coaches/coordinators.

With the amount of players we did lose, how are we not rebuilding? All that's going on here is a bunch of people thinking they know better than a coach with a great track record. One down season (so far) and suddenly he doesn't know what he's doing. It's like they weren't around pre-Harbaugh era.

 

I thought the Eagles comment would have woken some people up, but I guess some people just want to hate...
