Can't wait till we get an Offense

If by offense you mean the type of personnel (receivers) who gets it done consistently I must agree.  I think we have the scheme to win though.  I'm sure there are a few who would even say we had the scheme (to win) while Cam was OC.  I think most would disagree with that though.

And the lashing will be deserved. Can you give me his final statline + rating? I'd rather not go to ESPN/NFL.com right now.

 

Flacco completely crumbled under pressure, he was hearing footsteps. On the rare occasions he had a clean pocket he completely missed guys. He was spooked.

 

This is true, however it happened because of this reason:

 

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

 

Also penalties and drops hurt us again.

 

[jimmypowder]

His in-game management is ghastly.

He jettisoned the guys with attitude, now the team is heartless.

Yes this is true . This game is a lot on

Harbaugh .

Unprepared ,outcoached, poor clock management ,on and on

[Militant X 1]

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.

 

How are you going to tell me that since I don't want to get into a redundant argument that that's not the point?  Are you serious?  LOL!!

I am personally so ready for the Torrey Smith era to be OVER. If we sign him long term I'm going to lose it. I have been thinking about changes in personnel next season, and I would be curious to hear your guys feedback.

 

Release Steve Smith, Chris Canty, and Sam Koch to gain cap space.

 

Extend Haloti, lock up Jimmy Smith and Justin Tucker. Keep Forsett if cheap.

 

We should never have released John Simon, Pernell is going to get paid to start somewhere else next year, and he' going to be a nice situational pass rusher.

 

Trade Matt Elam, Bernard Pierce, Arthur Brown, and Jacoby Jones to Minnesota for Cordarelle Patterson and AP.

 

I think the Vikings are getting prepared to move on from AP and they seem displeased with Patterson since the new Zimmer regimen. Trade those 4 for these 2 and restructure a deal with AP.

 

Draft Jaelen Strong in 1st. He will go in our draft range and is exactly the type of receiver this O needs desperately.

 

I personally feel like the Ravens are being punished for the way they handled Ray Rice (Karma, God, however you want to look at it).  We never should have released him, it was a big mistake to turn out back on a player that had a proven track record and reputation of being a great man. He even named him daughter Rayven, and after reading Janay's article, they should have definitely rode it out with him. You don't turn your back on family, especially when they made a bad mistake and need your support more than ever.

3-18.

3-18.

I'm speechless.Flacco was having a good season. But waits till now...now....now...to be 3-18 flacco.

What's the difference between good games and bad games this season?  

1) Running game

2) OL Protection

3) Clutch WR catches

 

If Joe doesn't have that, we will always lose games

[johnmike72]

I wish Brad Jackson would shut his mouth and keep his moronic comments to himself.

Tell me, how was it Flacco`s fault that Keenum played better than him?

[PerpetuallyBored74]

We needed another deep threat to make Cam's scheme work, arguably 2 since Torrey struggles with inconsistent fundamentals, especially against press coverage. Torrey is even more inconsistent than Joe, and indeed one of the main reasons for Joe's inconsistency.

[I AM LEGEND]

3 coordinators.

And 7 years worth of different offensive personnel. And people are still blaming everyone else but Flacco.

[Dfence4champs2052]

Now I understand why the NFL poops on the ravens and doesn't trust them as far as ranking, exposure etc. games like this are a prime example of why they are treated the way they are. Gutless performances when they have everything on the line, of course the koolaid drinkers will always push the focus to the next week. Well you're running out of weeks to do that.....for the second year in a row.

[ratedr]

Yes this is true . This game is a lot on Harbaugh . Unprepared ,outcoached, poor clock management ,on and on

And this has been a recurring theme as of late, especially on offense. Have to look at Kubiak too. Why the slow starts?

Very well said .

[4everraven]

watching keenum celerate as if he won the SB makes me sick

But imagine if you were him. You'd feel the same way. Hunting deer to beating Ravens in the same week

Maybe we will see camp next week a good route runner with good hands maybe he can help with underneath routes when flacco is pressured cause right now no one gets open on quick passes.

[Edgar]

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.

Unfortunately we must stomach Brad Jackson's nonsense. How does a marginal player (at best) get a job in broadcasting when he is unable to pronounce the word,"Pittsburgh"?

Oh yeah, Sam Koch..........not so great for about three years.

[Raving_Heathen]

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

 

The Ravens defensive players do this kind of stuff all the time.

Preach!

Uhhhh Flacco has had a great season for the most part. Nobody should be fired or benched because of one game. Even Rodgers have a similar statline vs. BUF.

 

The coaching has been underwhelming but this team's main issue is talent imo.

Yes because we need to get rid of a guy setting franchise records and having his best year.

NFL may act that way, but ESPN and Mad Dog Sports doesn't.  For most of the season,  the "pundits" have stated that the only team they can trust in the AFC North are the Ravens.  Quite a few of them have chosen us to win the division.  

[jimmypowder]

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

I don't think he should be fired but Bisciotti must be fuming after this game .

Harbaugh had the team completely unprepared

[Ravenslifer]

I wish Brad Jackson would shut his mouth and keep his moronic comments to himself.

Did Jackson watch the game?  Keenum was part of the reason they didn't blow us out worse.

[ratedr]

I didn't even mention Matt Elam in my original rant. Terrible as usual.

[jimjim5]

2 years in a row we control our own destiny, 2 years in a row we blow it. Have to start questioning this team's toughness.

 

Flacco was godawful. Can someone give me his final stat line? I don't even want to go on ESPN/NFL.com right now, I'm blacking out non-local media for the next week, because he'll be hearing it and for good reason.

 

Torrey Smith might have been the single worst player on the field. Responsible for Flacco's 3rd INT and just completely gave up on a route that likely ends in a TD. How he has 10 TDs I don't know. I do not want him back next year unless he agrees to a deal worth the price of a Happy Meal.

 

SSS talks a big game but no shows in a big spot once again.

 

The OL got completely dominated. And whose bright idea was it to put Hurst on Watt with no help? Idiocy.

 

Kubiak was just completely outcoached. Crennel ate his lunch.

 

It's a huge shame because the defensive effort was admirable. We got field goal-ed to death despite the 3 turnovers.

 

Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! I just hope we win another game. At this point I'd rather not see this team walk into Pittsburgh (who clinched today) and get destroyed.

 

So disgusted with this effort.

 Perfect post.

[ratedr]

lol yep. It's Fitzpatrick was in we would've lost by 40.

Espn is pretty bad about that stuff too. There are guys like Mort, Berman who seem to root for us. But then the bum merril hoges weigh in too.

Our Running game and OL have been very good for the majority of this year. But because Flacco goes 3-18 we're suppose to act like both of those aspects weren't good now. Regardless if its one game or not... 3-18 is 3-18.

[Alaska Alaska!]

Even Skip Bayliss, arguably the biggest hater of the Ravens, chose BAL to win the division.
