Not really. Common sense. Could Perriman last with the injuries like Steve Smith has had to deal with this year? Heck No! Perriman is a bust because he is not NFL material. SO go get another receiver and use Perriman to get your coffee so he will not get hurt.

[iluvpurple]

This entire Raven's season honestly feeling like being trapped in the Twilight Zone...... I have NEVER seen more crap go wrong and the completely strange/bad situations that have taken place this year. And as far as the refs go, no surprise there with no punishment or anything, however, my opinion is that the NFL office can take their referee "weekly evaluations" and shove them where the sun doesn't shine, and that goes in defense of ALL the NFL teams that get screwed by them on a weekly basis. Sorry, rant over.........

[The Mom Gene]

Morelli's crew has been referred to as "The Linen Factory" for a reason. Ironic that in the most crucial time, the laundry stayed in their pockets.

[January J]

This season has truly been a complete nightmare. No other way to put it. Every possible thing that could've went wrong did, other than flacco getting injured. And the seasons far from over.

[TheRavengers]

I think 2007 was the last time we had a really bad season.

You are a disgruntled fan with no facts or inside information.  It is not fair to Perriman to make judgments about whether or not he is "NFL material."  He had an excellent college career, and Ozzie drafted him, so let's give him a little respect and see how things play out.

[ksk316]

That sucks. It's official. Ozzie shouldn't draft any high WR's. We're jinxed.

Maybe we could get Chris Matthews from Seattle. They released him.

Players are not invincible and they do sustain injuries (even prior to their first professional season). I would rather Perriman fully recover than potentially hindering his recovery by playing during a season where the chance of a playoff berth is extremely-extremely low and highly unlikely. I wish Perriman a full recovery and I hope he's ready to play next season.  

[Dorota]

Knowing that Ravens have won if it doesn't show on record does NOT make me feel better, but knowing that Jaguars know that they haven't won does, a little bit. Out of spite. For all the good it does anyone. I really hope we don't take the "Suck for Luck" approach regardless of who declares for the draft whenever and keep fighting, for dignity, even if not for January.

 

At that, it should be the young guys making an effort. Arthur Brown should do his best to see the field more if he doesn't want to be a total draft bust and cut. We are already using a lot of our rookies and should continue to do that. All the fans being offensive towards Perriman - give it a rest. Alright, the injury and the fact that he's Ravens' Waldo is frustrating, but as Sarah says, more so for him. It's a freak injury and takes forever, but I'll refrain from judgement on bust status, unless it's multiple injuries that keep him off the field.

 

On that front I really really hope that Campanaro can get his body together for more than just a couple weeks at a time, because the kid shows promise, but as soon as he's in, he's out.

The "Refs" miss a lot of calls and are very inconsistent,it appears they favor one team over the other, and I'm not talking about what they have done with the Ravens! For some unknown reason they seem to select one team to stay on top of and ignore the other. Sine they are reviewing plays as they are why not correct blunders that are causing teams loss?

[salamander]

The NFL failing to take adequate corrective measures regarding turning over the outcome is bad enough. However, it's a double slap in the face that the refs were not given significant and severe consequences for failing to throw the flag for not being set on the last play of the game, which wrongly altered the outcome of that game. In the situation with the clock running out, every single ref would actually be on the alert to know that this very basic procedural error of not getting set could definitely be a factor. The refs know the rules within 2 minutes and to be set for 1 second and the ending of this game was a heads up for the refs to make sure that being set should have been on their radar. The NFL knowingly allowed a team to be denied a rightful victory due to the exclusive failure of the refs to comply with basic procedure, then minimized the consequences to the refs, which is infuriating. We all know the Ravens blew opportunity after opportunity but that is a whole separate issue. The bad officiating problem in the NFL is reaching epic proportions and the lack of meaningful reaction by the NFL is indicative that they have not taken this ref problem seriously enough, which is destroying the game itself. In other words, we can expect the ref problems to get a whole lot worse before there is any hope of things getting better. It may be a long wait until the NFL wakes up and makes some real changes. Bottom line, Ravens got screwed and the NFL agenda is more about minimizing controversy and covering their backsides with the refs than it is about getting it right and demanding high standards for the refs to protect the integrity of the game.

Mark Viviano Kindle was drafted in the 2nd round, not first

[eek]

Crusader - Would you be saying the same thing had we drafted Kevin White

[stixfix69]

We have been playing young talent....The D-Line with the exception of Canty are all youngsters, the LBing Corp is made up of youngsters getting PT with only Doom and Smith as the only vets playing at that position....The CB's are a mix of young, middle age, and players being moved around due to injury and lack of production...Every loss it appears Harbs cuts players and bringd up young PS players, or sign young players...And that is a concern, as in years past the team was always a family, and if a player had a bad game, the players and coaches always stood behind them, now players are looking over their shoulders to see if they get cut if they have a bad game, and i don't like it one bit....That is stuff the Browns do, not this organization....We have never given up on young players so quickly....Ross was starting to show he could be a legit WR, Asa was killing it on ST, and yes had a bad game Sunday, but I don't think it was worthy of being shown the door....This team is becoming unglued....

[surfdude]

I say Perriman is a bust already before ever taking a real snap. This kind of injury is gonna be chronic IMO. Now I say the Ravens should either draft another WR in the 1st round or sign a top 5 FA. There were red flags about Perriman's knees before the draft. The streak goes on with Ozzie and drafting WRs. : (

[gabrielgrissom]

I called this right after the game ended once i had found out that we had been screwed i knew the nfl wasnt going to do anything about it. Its crazy how something like that will happen in college but not in the nfl... first they shut out our lights... i remember that year they tried to fine ed reed like half a million for a helmet to helmet hit.. or something ridiculous like that... i just think that this league is a joke when they do that against us but let greg hardy play... i know im rambling and the post doesnt make too much sense but it makes me wonder

[johnmike72]

Glad Harbaugh is not a doctor.

[johnmike72]

Mark Viviano is a tool.

[Ravensfansince03]

Since day one I had been saying it was a bad move to trust Aiken as one of our starters. But a lot of my fellow fans on here were head over heels for him smh. Im not saying I told you so, but yall gotta trust me with some of my bold assessments. I wish I could give the coaches some pointers. And with all these shuffling of WR's, why haven't they gave Daniel Brown a shot?

[Purple Hazard]

It's such a shame... but the Ravens can't rely on Perriman being a super star next year. He will need some time again with no real rookie year to make an impact in the NFL. They also can't rely on SSS coming back. Sure it would be nice but they can't plan to have him back. So we need to get a veteran and probably draft another WR in the higher rounds. That is not an easy task and WR is not the only position of need for us. We are in the situation we never wanted to be in. We need to go for needs in the draft... I hope we can overcome this in one offseason.

I don't even think we can afford to spend a 1st round pick on an offensive player with the way our defense is playing. We used our 1st & 2nd round picks on offense this past draft. 

 

Some people negged you, I didn't, because I cant help but think...............if this injury has cost Breshad an ENTIRE YEAR, what about the next injury that he'll most likely get playing this game, how long will that have him out?

[jravens13]

If we waste another 1st Round pick on a WR I will vomit. There is talent to be had in the 2nd and 3rd. Look at the Steelers recipie, they have great WR's. They draft guys with speed, hands, and work ethic. The route running might not be perfect, they might be undersized, but with NFL coaching and pass friendly rules they can become studs. Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, Nate Washington, Martavis Bryant. Our biggest issue is Flacco's contract. Then it is Trestman play-calling/lack of identity, The lack of a 3 or 4 man rush, overpaying corners who are not producing, and Dean Pees in the 2 minute drill.

If "our biggest issue is Flacco's contract" then how come Flaccos cap hit in 2015 is $14,500,000 and Rothlisbergers is 17,245,000 ??  Stop being like the rest of the country and blaming Flaccos contract. His contract will be reworked this off season. His cap hit the first three years of the deal were never bad compared to other QB's

[griffrb]

No it's not complicated. Draft a couple of explosive WRs and sign another in free agency. Find some DBs in the draft and free agency. Release a few of these WRs and DBs who aren't making it happen. Make a few coaching changes: potentially both OC and DC, and DB. Restructure Flacco's contract to the $15M range. It's negative on him that he hasn't risen his game despite the lack of talent around him. Brady does it year in and year out regardless of who the WRs are and he doesn't put his WRs in the position to get killed across the middle or throw off his back foot for interceptions.

Mark Viviano Kindle was drafted in the 2nd round, not first

Viviano didn't say he was drafted in the 1st round, he said he was the 1st pick, which he was

[cushrinada1986]

Time to start the new talent, that is great idea. Build now and reset next season. The draft will still offer quality upgrades and the ravens will make WR and DB along with pass rusher a sure priority int he draft. Now its just time to see who we can savage for next season.

Jeremy Zuttah - C - Ravens

Ravens placed C Jeremy Zuttah on injured reserve with a torn pectoral, ending his season.

Zuttah went down in the Week 10 loss to the Jaguars. John Urschel will take over as the Ravens' starting center the rest of the way. Zuttah turns 30 next June and was signed to an extension through 2018 when Baltimore acquired him from the Bucs in March of 2014. Prior to going down, Zuttah had graded out as PFF's No. 8 center, excelling both in the run and pass games.

So Morelli's crew has only worked two Ravens games, we lost both.. 19 penalties for 230 yards?  Seems kinda high.. smells a little fishy.  I know we're not perfect, but 19 flags!?

[Purpleghost23]

Previous starter, veteran Josh McCown, has gone 1-6 at the helm. guess who he defeat it..... yeah you are correct
