[BR News]

A 60-minute psycho-drama. Loss not all Dumervil’s fault. Referees right. Offense produced without Smith.

and the patriots keep on ticking and clicking. they r the creme da la creme

[catgirl54]

Flags and penalties, penalties and flags...nothing else holds fashion (I'm egregiously paraphrasing Shakespeare here) Seriously, the stupid, ridiculous, inexcusable penalties are going to kill this team. Are we stupid?? Are we just that stupid????

[shiri2]

this year we always find a way to lose, no matter how bad our opponent. i'm beyond disgusted. I don't even record our games anymore.

[bmorefan444]

Yes, I'll have one Joey Bosa, please. Thank you

Typical bandwagon Ravens fan. Wait unitl the Ravens are suffering  a losing season to post all of this admiration for the Patriots and Steelers. Where's your purple pride? Crème de crème ? just sad.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

1. Playing for a draft pick.

2. Doom made a mistake but it was definitely not all on him period.

3. Doom is man enough to try to take the blame but a lot of others that contributed to the team loss seem to have kept silent.

4. so much for going undefeated the second half of the season.

5. We should end up with a high draft pick and we need retooling of some positions for sure.

FIVE THOUGHTS: 1. Our defense sux 2. We have to be the most undisciplined team in the NFL 3. An extra week to prepare for the Jags (at home) and that isn't enough! Things have gotten bad in BMORE 4. Why does Joe still have so much difficulty managing the pocket... He has been in the league way too long for much of these blunders. 5. I can honestly say that we have lost 3 maybe 4 games this season on stupid penalties. Free yards and turnovers (plus missed tackles) have killed us all season! UNDISCIPLINED PLAY

[cburke1975]

Heartbreaking loss - I'm with BW - gut wrenching and won't be soon forgotten

[drillem]

I agree the ravens are the best of the worst. And helping Jacksonville break that record was wonderful. Not!!!

[cobrajet]

Yes, I'll have one Joey Bosa, please. Thank you

Well that is one way to look at a bad day......lol

[HuginnJaMuninn]

Give the season up rest all injured players until fully healthy give as many young players as many reps as possible and shoot the lights out of next years drafts with many and high draft picks. We all know we don't stand a chance of beating teams like Patriots so even if we make playoff's we gain nothing but possibly injuring our players. I'd rather have one really bad season then come back than constantly trying to do it that one year.

[drillem]

we lost, again. a loss is a loss. it tells the story of the team. maybe if it was an isolated loss it might be different but this is regular loss.

[drillem]

what is a joey bossa

[Crusader]

One thought. Ravens put together the worst team of coaches and players in their 20 year history. At least 1990's they had a real excuse.

[DENNYK]

Agree with Crusader. This team stinks to the high heavens. I am done watching these guys blow games every week. They are the worse team in the NFL bar none. They are setting new lows in the team record books. At least they should get a good drafting position.

[Ravens4Life89]

Who signed Kendrick Lewis anyways... A dropped interception... Really.

[TheRavengers]

Ray should've been called back, him being there seemed to help us out last game...

[DENNYK]

This team is the most undisciplined team to ever wear a Baltimore uniform. Seems that they have set that record too. Colts, Stars, Stallions and Ravens made us proud several times, but this team only lets you down each week. You happy Harbaugh? It's all your team now.

[ravens4life86]

Its over people. Its been over. Not even worth my frustration anymore. Suckerpunched for last time.

Now on to draft....hopefully Ozzie cant have a hof type Ray Lewis,J.O. Draft this year

[ravens4life86]

I meant can have*

[bluehen]

We lost the game, get ready to lose a lot more, however, we should get a top 5 draft pick!

[MadStorkSociety]

Yes, how do the patriots never leave the top tier?

[kennethyamini1989]

@Mad because they have great coaching and the best QB of all time.

[Rat]

As I watched this game unfold, even when we were clearly still in the hunt.....a reality set in.....we are playing one of the worst teams in the NFL...and we are just hanging on. I have no clue what the answer is to this, but I don't see it being resolved in a year, unfortunately.

Props to Elvis for stepping up to accept responsibility, but as was said earlier......enough blame to go around. Fumbles, dropped passes, dropped interceptions.....the blame shouldn't fall on one person....maybe some should fall on our coaching staff.....because with a bye week, although we played somewhat better....our offense did play better...given who we had....but as the game progressed....the same old things started to happen.....penalties, drops on offense, drops on Defense.....drops on special teams......poor play calling in the last Qtr......

All in all, the loss was brutal......but it is what it is......the Ravens are still our/my team......and to the end, I'll support them.

Go Ravens.....claw back.

[January J]

I blame one person for this entire debacle of a season. John elway. Had he not fired john fox we would never have lost kubiak. That one event started the chain of crap that has transpired.

[law215]

1. Poorly coached, undisciplined football team. How many times did Flacco chuck up the ball to Aiken in double coverage? How many ridiculous late hits? How many times does Jimmy and Webb play 8-10 yards off on 3rd downs and give up a slant or come back route? How many block in the back penalties on returns? Just inexcusable.

2. Was there any doubt that the defense would not hold if Jags only needed a FG?

3. Trestman does not like to run the football. Biggest difference between this year and last is the run game. Same players but different coordinator.

4. Ravens are not as talented as the years past. The close game we would win or the bad teams we would man handle doesn%u2019t happen anymore. Every game is down to the wire even against other 2-6 teams. That means Ravens are a bad football team.

5. I saw a team that lacked enough talent to beat a 2-6 Jags team. Sure there no Suggs or Smith Sr, but they are north of 33 years old. OZ must do more in the offseason to remain competitive. In the meantime, every coach seat is getting warmer. Losing to a 2-6 at home with all of the penalties and turnovers looks like bad coaching .

[Run Pass Pass Punt]

I just watched the Chiefs get more INTs in one game then we've gotten all year. I'm pretty sure we'd win just off of having a positive TO ratio.

[riseNConquer81]

The loss is absolutely Dumervil's fault. Normally id agree with you when people try to pin the game on one player because its usually impossible to draw the definitive conclusion that if this or that player hadnt done this or that thing, we wouldve won. There's no reasonable doubt here though. It was the LAST play of the game, no time on the clock which means no room for any other factors or circumstances about the game to change after Dumervil's play. this situation, for once, was simple. Dumervil makes one disciplined tackle and this game is a W. he fouled instead, and we lost. thats his fault. no getting around that.

[BigUgly]

I hope this was another example of exquisite coaching and precision execution to intentionally tank the remainder of the season with looking like they were trying to tank the season.
