[News] The Breakdown: Eisenberg's Five Thoughts vs. Jaguars

[Run Pass Pass Punt]

Hey I've never seen a post game where none of the players come to the podium. Have you guys ever seen this before? Can't be a good sign of the state of the locker room.

[whobilly]

Undisciplined play, celebrating at the end with one play left, bad decisions, along with the WORST WR Corps in the NFL all adds up to 2-7 now and 4-12 at seasons end.

[whobilly]

The problem with having a top 5 pick this year is that it is the worst prospect pool in the last 10 years. "That Guy" is NOT in this years draft.

[purpledown]

the season is over, officially. Time to look at players like Brown to see who should be kept. This is a very big offseason coming up, the Ravens have to make the right moves to turn this around. The OC and DC should be gone, a new philosophy is needed.

[reed20fence]

It's the same story that it has been all year long. Only one side of the ball plays to win at one time. When the defense holds a 1 point lead after turnovers on drive after drive, the offense finally wakes up, but then the defense caves.

We're not a team that seeks to win by dominating an opponent. We're a reactionary team that's coached and executes based on fear of failure.

That's why we're so easy to predict on both sides of the ball. Well, fear and key pieces on IR.

If you truly want a new philosophy then we need a new head coach to bring a new philosophy, every year under Harbaugh we say we need new coordinators, when will people realize our head coach doesn't specialize in either offense or defense.

[BigUgly]

The best coordinator moves we made...firing Cam Cameron, releasing Greg Mattison and hiring Kubiak...were made despite Harbs' objections.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Mistakes all across the board. Carelessness,lack of focus, Offense, Defense, Special Teams, and Coaching.

[923wvs]

This team should have worked on their hands during the bye week! How many passes have been dropped by both the offense and defense. Both the receivers and cornerbacks and safeties had their opportunities this season. These guys are supposed to be professionals, they should be able to catch the ball, it is part of their jobs!

[Hardhitters]

Thank you Dumervil for being the only player smart enough to play the last play, I'm not mad at you one bit. If Jerigan and Upshaw had helped you the QB would have never gotten up when he slipped. Dumervil was the hero that was abandoned by his company.

Embarrassed...as they should be imo.  I'm not even mad over this game cause I felt it based upon how the Ravens have been playing all season long close games or not.  They gave me no reason to trust or have confidence in them that they could or would win this game.  And after 2 weeks of rest and game-planning...what did they put on the field today?

[batjaguar]

To paraphrase Harbaugh after each loss, we have to play better, we have to be smarter. As has been said Harbaugh benefited by having Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs; he does not have control of this team. Ravens gave up 171 yards in penalties (a productive half for an elite qb). There was talk about Dumervil wanting to return to his previous form with the Jags. In his glory years, did Dumervil ever win a game, single-handedly, for the Jags? And to paraphrase Flacco after every loss; I have to play better, smarter, ... Two picks and a lost fumble; not better or smarter. Not all Flacco's fault; when Kamar Aiken is the teams No.1 receiver ain't that a sorry situation. And then the secondary; how sorry, miserable, pathetic can this group be? Can't cover nothin', drop gift interceptions; turns your damn stomach. Pick wisely, Wizard.

[TruRavensFan52]

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

Because they cheat.

[Crusader]

Just where are the two wins coming from? Browns and who? Rams are going to crush the Ravens Remember thats Jeff Fisher.

I think we have to blame this season on none other than ozzie newsome and the rest of the scouts. This is a what have you done for me lately league and their draft picks have been mostly bust and its starting to finally show. Theyve been great in the past at drafting solid players but theyve been terriable the last 4 drafts. No stars at all. Ozzie likes to draft all of these soft spoken players that are probably all afraid to yell in their own homes and wonder why when the team is down in a game theres no fight. Its because we have no one on the team that can rise up get in guys faces and fire guys up. Mosely? jimmy smith? matt elam? all soft spoken guys that wont do it. Upshaw, jah reid, matt elem, waller, tommy streeter, jernigan, terrance brooks, arthur brown, john simon, bernard piecrce, christian thompson all bust. Ozzies bad draft picks are finally starting to blow up in our faces

[ravens4life86]

Also I want to point to a trend That EVERY Freaking week B Jackson points out in CSN Post game, in 2 Victories Flacco less then 40 passes and more "Balance Run Game" attack. In 7 losses Flacco has 40 plus Throwing attempts multiple turnovers mostly and Run game is non existent. In fact Ravens are 0- last 10 when Flacco has 40 plus attempts. I put this on Trestman we were warned of his pass happy mindset before the year, people in chicago hated it and now were getting screwed

[balfan23]

I don't have 5 thoughts, I only have 1: The players and coaches can officially dispense with the silly talk of "if" we can stack wins, go on a run, we can still make the playoffs. That goal has been gone ... yet there was constant chatter about it during the bye week.

 

We can't win games against the worst of opponents ... even at the Bank, where winning used to be a foregone conclusion, so please ... spare everyone the delusions of grandeur. This team is in a serious state of dysfunction.

[verified]

If you ask me I want a guy with some character concerns to come in. Im sick of all of these soft spoken guys that ozzie keeps drafting. They play with no fire or intensity. Look at marcus petters, dez bryant and honey badger. All guys with character concerns but they have passion for the game and that makes them put it all out there on the field, and they are now key players for their teams that fire guys up. Jimmy smith quiets sometimes he has no passion. Oh, an I think ross is done at punt returner, u should only get 2 times to screw up and hes done that, the cardinals game that swung the momentum in arizonas favor and now today that lost us the ball. hes done, add him to the list of ozzies bad roster moves.

[ravenwildman]

Well......It would appear that this is going to be a season of.....learning. One good thing I saw was that the TE's are awesome. Let's see how this year's, not so fun stuff, will adjust the team for the future seasons to come. GO RAVENS!

[bmoraven]

1. Why can players simply not make plays? Lewis 2. We play very undisciplined ball, can only blame the coaches for all the penalties and not correcting this 3. Are we the ravens or the Cowboys, Coach harbs postgames are reminding me of the Lackluster jason garrett postgames 4. Joe still not playing up to his potential or his contract 5. Time for Mr Bisciotti to make some changes, Not pointing fingers but what has harbs done since Ed and Ray retired and he got rid of the players who challenged him?

[ineng1379]

To the people wanting Top 5 draft picks, please elaborate on what good would that do. I truly believe this team is not short on talent. The coaching on the other hand is a debacle of epic proportions. Look no further, injuries every year, bad draft choices, penalties, paying too much money to average players, amateur play calling. After Ray, Ed and Birk departures Harbaugh's record has been below .500. Unfortunately for us, he'll ride the SB train for another year along with his good for nothing assistants before Biscotti decides to can him. I predict no playoff appearances for another 2-3 years if things remain status quo.

[ellicottraven]

Shame on us for losing this one at M&T. I don't care how we lost it or why, but it is sad that a team with so much pre-season hype and potential has all but imploded. It breaks my heart that the Baltimore Ravens are no longer a proud and resilient team but far from it. They are weak, listless and play without heart. To make matters worse they talked for an entire 2 weeks about going 8-0 (running the table). So much bluster and for what?

Quick takes: We have 3 really good tight ends & good backs. We need wide outs who are willing to fight for the ball, without alligator arms.

click this link and tell me if ozzie does not deserve the blame for this terrible roster that john harbrough is forced to coach. And how do you go into the season looking at aiken and marlon brown and saying "ok, we are good at WR" darren waller is a bust he doesnt count http://www.baltimoreravens.com/team/history/all-time-draft-choices.html

Cb, LT, C, Wr, OLB- There you have it.

[Jim Giampaoli]

"Offense produced without Smith". You call racking up 20 pts. producing? Eisenberg, that's laughable. We lost the game! The other team only scored 22. If Smith Sr. had played, we would have won this game. To you, Trestman is innovative with "new wrinkles". For the first time,we get three tight ends after fans have posted all season to do it. Slabbing on the icing can't hide the fact that the cake crumbled.

[BallSoHard808]

1-5 thoughts: WE SUCK. Btw I hope the Broncos start sucking again, so Gary Kubiak regrets leaving the team. The offense would be so much better if he stayed.

[thegooddoc456]

Ravens have become a revolving door of excuses. What will it take to fire Harbaugh and worthless crew? Do we have to lose to a college team first?

[sjk48]

What I and I'm sure others were expecting to see after a bye week is improvement. Instead we had every ugly problem arise that plagued this team before the bye week. The only thing this team has come up with is another way to loose a game. At least they are innovative in that area.

Harbs is clueless and lost, he needs to man up and fire Pees and trestman
