if nobody gets open and we have no blocking or running game then how can joe be blamed?

 

you can blame him for missing throws when players where open and their was enough blocking?

 

you can blame him for keep throwing jump balls at guys like steve smith?

 

you can blame him for not using his world class speed to get to the edge like some people claim he has?

 

Im pretty sure there is  SOME blame to him.

again im NOT saying ALL, but he has some blame as well.

[arnie_uk]

Everyone involved in the offense was shocking. Every one. Kubiak Joe oline receivers running backs. Awful performance from the offense in every department

[stampedehero]

 Bengals need to lose tom and lose against the steelers next week. and we win next week and it would help if buffalo loses either today or next week and we have the 6 seed

Its great we have a shot but we have to depend on others instead of earning it. So I still can be positive and hope but SD is also part of the equation.  Buffalo  has to lose today against Oakland   If we actually get to post season, this game reflects our lack of urgency and worst we did not play against a stud QB.  JJ Watt and the Houston D owned us. .

[Ravenslifer]

I'm not about to get into this redundant, old and tired argument brah!  I just made a comment about things starting with Joe.  I'll leave it at that. 

 

That's not the point.  Of course Joe played terribly, but people placing all of the blame on him are basically saying another quarterback would have won us the game, and I'm not ever a believer in one player making the difference.  Our receivers still would have gotten manhandled and dropped passes, our running game still would have been stuffed, and our o-line still would have no answer for JJ Watt regardless of who's under center.  Joe deserves a lot of the blame, but not all of the blame, or even the majority (meaning >50%), because there are 10 other guys on offense every snap and I can't name one of them that did their job well today.

Antonio Freeman said it best. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror, and say, what did I do wrong and what could I have done better. That`s something Harbaugh never does. He rather just tip his cap. #NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

[Raving_Heathen]

This was as simple as it gets - our O line got monstered entire game. We couldn't run, Joe was throwing in backward motion for most part to receivers who could not get open.

 

The worst is that I now have to root for Manning on Monday and the Steelers next week. And the Steelers couldn't care less about next week's game, not likely we can expect help there.

 

Aren't they playing for the division?

[PoeDinkum]

Perhaps you're getting negged for HOW you're "criticizing the team".  Are you unable to provide criticism without resulting in stupid name calling (ie calling Harbs "Hairball". That was super corny of you by the way)

Lol. Could be.

[redravenfan]

As long as we're not reaching for players.  BPA focuses on quality vs need.  I'd hate to pass up an opportunity to get 1st round talent DEF in the second round over a 4 round talent OFF player in the first

agreed

[StingerNLG]

You obviously haven't seen message boards from other teams.  I've seen both Colts and Broncos fans calling for Luck/Manning to be benched during a loss, so yeah...hold that thought of yours

 

It's not as consistent and bad as it is here.

[Brian Honey]

Really,

 

Lets run the ball right at Watt again and again, no offense, should have set Flacco on the bench after the first quarter. That was the poorest excuse of sixty minutes I have ever had to bear in my life. The Ravens are not a playoff caliber team. I am disappointed and quit honesty mad about the performance I witnessed today. We should have done something extraordinary like line up Suggs on offense across from Watt. Bet he would have kept him at bay. Doing nothing and wasting plays that cannot produce yardage results is not entertaining. The Texans are a B league team and wont go anywhere in the playoffs because other teams will do something to prevent his impact. Why didn't we roll out left, why didn't we run a delay. The only thing we achieved today was assuring the rest of the NFL that we don't belong in the post season.

 

Most Sincerely

[Static]

Flacco didn't play scared. You try eating cheap shots from Watt and Cushing.

Flacco played Bad but Watt should have been ejected after two straight late hits

[allblackraven]

There are no Dez Bryant type of receivers on the Ravens roster...none whatsoever!

C'mon people, there are no many Dez type receivers in the entire NFL.

No, like most, the criticism isn't the problem, because most of them have earned it.

 

Its the solution to the criticism that fans notoriously are awful with. Firing the coach is a popular trend, because great or even good coaches are easily found in this league all the time (and yes, that was sarcasm).

 

As I've been saying for years... two types of fans on these boards... problem identifiers and problem solvers. The criticism part is the easy part... a 12 year old knows at least 2-3 major things wrong with this team.

 

Its coming up with reasonable and rational solutions that is what fans on these boards really struggle with.

[Raving_Heathen]

21/50 for 195 yards, 2 TDs and 3 picks.  Worst game of the season for him IMO.

 

I'd say worst of his career considering the circumstances and how long he's been in the league now (and the fact he was a legit SB MVP).

[Yaha]

I will add.. Harbaugh must go with he brother. I can see it now. John and Jim in Oakland as the Raiders coaches.  Jim as the Head coach and put John on special teams where he belongs.

 

Always remember the one who is in the White House is always the favorite by votes and huge money.  We need an Offensive minded Head coach to come to Balt-More.

 

Love you Ravens. See ya next year.

 

 

Pittsburg in the Playoffs?  Thanks a lot Harbs.

[arnie_uk]

When the oline plays well, we win. Flacco can pick any team apart and we are one of the best rushing attacks in the league.

When they don't play well this is what happens

[ratedr]

Harbaugh gets angry and smug whenever someone dares to question him.

 

How convenient that he specializes in neither offense nor defense. So when one goes to crap he can't ever be questioned.

[ravenwildman]

In this game Flacco was way off on at least three open receivers everyone saw (one potential TD). Normally, I am on his side even on tough days, but this one is on him. Sure the Texans put him under duress, but what separates an elite QB from a good one is that under such duress they remain accurate hitting open receivers. That usually backs off an all out pass rush.

[allblackraven]

Aren't they playing for the division?

They will but I feel so bummed right now that I'm sure they'll drop the game just to hurt us.

[Bryden88]

Anyone calling for Harbs to be fired is quitely frankly OUT OF THEIR MINDS.

[Alaska Alaska!]

Stop right there.  My god just stop.  I read message boards EVERY weekend.  I've been doing it for years.  You cannot honestly say we are worse.  Please...let us stop this conversation.

[thisme007]

The texans knew our offense Coordinator playbook..

[Ravenslifer]

I'd say worst of his career considering the circumstances and how long he's been in the league now (and the fact he was a legit SB MVP).

 

I gotta disagree - worst game I ever saw him play was Buffalo last year, the 5 INT game - that and Jacksonville 2011 (already in his 4th year by then).  In Jacksonville he did absolutely nothing, and in Buffalo 3 of those picks were absolute stupidity and cost us that game, which we STILL only lost by 3 points.

[Militant X 1]

Its not the Ravens until they decide to break your heart and miss the playoffs.

 

I absolutely hate watching the Ravens play football at times man cause you never know which team will show up or how they will perform from week to week.  I know every fan can say this about their teams but I don't care about those teams.  I care about the Ravens so I'll speak about them!

[johnmike72]

As far as I`m concerned, Harbaugh can go join his buddy Cam at LSU.

[BMORE_96]

watching luck sucking without a run game and elite wr play. he obviously misses T.Y.  are you telling me flacco and luck suck? Qbs need weapons. 

[Static]

I'm angry that the Texans got away with dogpiling Flacco every possession weather he had the ball or not. I know Cushing straight up dived at his head after the ball was 10yards downfield. He should be suspended

Just read a post about Harbaugh needs to go and it made me a little sick that we have fans like that Lol.

[I AM LEGEND]
