Its all in the coaching ...Harbaugh has to go

Its all in the coaching ...Harbaugh has to go

 

I disagree, far too many players either made mistakes or missed opportunities in this game

[Black&purple#55]

offseason moves that needs to be addressed

1) Joe flacco needs to re-do his contract and take a significant pay cut(elite QB's don't need superstar WR to win)

2)fire Trestman and pees

3)hire Chuck Pagano as a D coordinator & Sean Payton to run the offence

4)draft top notch DB's (don't even go after any WR)

5)try to sign Ashlon Jeffries or another top wideout

the list should go on, I hope the front office read this. goodbye for now as I'm done taking blood pressure pills.

Players need to look in the mirror first... before we even think of firing Harbaugh. Harbaugh did not grab the face mask... coaches can only put them in place to perform and the player has to make the play and not miss easy interceptions or make stupid penalties.

[Crusader]

John Harbaugh Era started the after Ray retired. I seen what this team was becomming after the leadership purg 2013 but I did not think Gary could be that good for 2014. Bad news 2016 opponents are stronger than this year.

[purpledown]

time to look at the NFL draft. To me the Ravens are set at one position,TE. They need help everywhere else. Joey Bosa from Ohio State looks like a good pick, because it looks like they will be picking in the top 5.

[Run Pass Pass Punt]

Chiefs got 5 INTs today... we have 4 for the season. Boom.

[Jim Giampaoli]

Get use to it. It won't improve this year. When the radio announcers tell you that the defense and the special team players have to score points until the offense gets rolling, you know it won't get any worse. Maybe we can beat the Steelers again.

[ravens4life86]

@Purpledown, Agreed. Draft. Joey Bosa keeps popping up. Hes a monster. I would say if Ozzie thinks Bosa could be a JJWatt type Ravens should snatch him up. I know this wont happen but I would also consider Jaylen Ramsey FSU FS Ball Hawk, if Ozzie thinks he could be our next Ed Reed for 10 yrs.

Otherwise I hope Ozzie trades with a QB needy team, 3 or 4 for 1 Rams,and skins type deal. Get multiple firsts and mid round picks for a top 5-7 pick.

That way Ravens could really do a 1 year quick rebuild. Get multiple pass rushers,WRs, and LBr/DBs

Inexcusable

[Crusader]

"Its all in the coaching ...Harbaugh has to go" That will happen after the 2016 season when Ravens finish 5-11. The first game will be New England and end with Pitts.

[Crusader]

That's OK, I got Neged for predicting this years record. Ever wonder why the Ravens ended up with these coaches?

[ellicottraven]

This was a pathetic loss. Absolutely pathetic loss. Shame on all the Ravens players who contributed to this loss either through stupid turnovers or penalties. How do you lose a game that you had all but wrapped up? Well, the formula for losing all kinds of games in the last minute or so seems to be patented by the Baltimore Ravens of 2015, their coaches and their players as well. You guys can go on praising Flacco, but I am disgusted with his mindless turnovers at the most inopportune times. Just bone headed turnovers.

[sticks999]

To see things in the correct perspective . . look around the league and what other teams accomplish. Cousins throws 4 TDs, Winston won . Roth on one leg threw more than we can in 3 games. It's really pathetic. We suck and its from the top down.

[GangofRavens]

Harbaugh can't coach them up. Joe zeros in on one receiver. It's what I've been saying on the board for years. At least finally in the second half he started to throw two other receivers.

[kakatakoi]

We stand to set a new single season record for collective losses by 3 or less points in the last 60 seconds of a game. I get that everyone had a few more plays in them and no one blames anyone else on the team for making mistakes or throwing picks but I am sick and tired of watching our defense lose gut wrencing games in the last fleeting seconds. Dean Pees has to go, his schemes and obvious lack of discipline have gone on far too long without consequences. I'm done watching my team embarrass themselves and I'm no longer defending them. Until Pees is replaced I'm not watching another game, because our defense will inevitably let us down when it counts the most. What upsets me the most is this incompetent individual has been allowed to stay in Baltimore after he embarassed in vs the Pats in the playoff...John, what does this guy have on you? Do your job Coach...please!    

[Fastynart]

How come we don't read anymore about "Harbaugh's Team"? We had to hear that baloney from the media right after Ray and Ed led the Ravens to their last championship. In the years that followed, we have seen what "Harbaugh's Team" is. It stinks. No discipline, no playmakers, worst defense in the NFL in forcing turnovers, no leaders. Harbaugh got rid of those that were left and now we have a team that looks every bit like the losers that they are.

Sloppy Joe...

blah, blah, blah. Please look into your Squealers crystal ball and tell us, who are the Ravens 2016 opponents? Let me guess, Browns x 2, your Squealers x 2, Bengals x 2? Who else? I'm sure the Ravens organization would like to know their schedule too....

[ravenstime]

We should not have been satisfied with a 1 point lead on our last drive, running the ball a lot to run the clock. We should have been trying to score another Touchdown. Sometimes we're afraid to go after a win and we just try to avoid a loss by hoping the clock will run out. It came back to bite us today.

[Bigjon5477]

Pretty sad Ravens can't even win when they're ahead after the clock runs out.

[stampedehero]

This game is especially painful.  The team destroyed themselves @ home after a bye. We lost to another 2-6 team. NO Domination. We play down to the competition.  Meanwhile, Pittsburgh did to Cleveland what we should have done. After the season is over, we all can finally relax. Only another 7 trainwrecks to witness.  

[tonyquintino]

I still don't understand how Kendrick Lewis keeps getting a pass. His plat is horrible at best. But yet Terence Brooks is inactive. This coaching staff looks real dumb at the end of the day. Asa Jackson plays reckless on special teams knocked us back twice. U taking your best corner and playing at safety on third and long. At 2-7 give these young players u drafted high a shot!.

[DrinkmoreBeer]

Why is Kendrick Lewis still starting? This season is over, so take a look at someone else. With two hands that can catch.

[BigUgly]

Not surprised that we lost, or how we lost. Just doesn't change the feeling of disappointment and disgust. I think the team missed an opportunity to shake things up over the BYE as they claimed they would.

[bburnham89]

Flacco definitely needs to take a paycut. But I want to put some names out there. Brady, Roethlisberger, Dalton, Palmer, Rodgers, P. Manning, Ryan, Romo, Cutler. These are all QBs getting paid big time money (and playing well), and yet their FOs and GMs are still managing to surround them with talent. Those guys definitely make the players around them better right now (except for maybe P. Manning and Cutler). But the players around them are already all pretty great. The only QB getting paid big time money right now that is doing great with almost nothing around him is Cam Newton. Other than him, all the other QBs are being asked to take guys with already great talent and make them excellent players. Our FO and coaching staff (and when you think about it, especially us fans) are asking Joe to take mediocre and bad weapons (particularly at WR) and do the same. With so little help on the perimeter, RBs who are up and down (including Forsett who I think is coming back down to Earth a little bit), and good yet really young TEs, I honestly think a lot of the QBs I mentioned would even struggle. There is a lack of quality scouting at the offensive weapon positions, and a lack of talent as a result. I think the best comparison is Aaron Rodgers' contract. Even bigger than Joe's (granted he's a better QB), but they still have managed to surround him with guys like Nelson, Cobb, Jones, Adams, Lacy and Starks. Then they manage to shore up their D enough. Ravens FO and coaching staff need to step up and figure this out.

How's Tyrod Taylor doing? Yep...
