Keep it simple for Joe and the receivers, better results.  Let the talent make the plays by getting the football to them quickly and often.

They need to coach Wright to just get his feet tangled up with the receiver. That way, you can avoid pass-interference without the burden of having to cover, since it's not PI if your feet just got tangled up /w the runner.

Oh yes it is; make no mistake about it.  This is the turning point for the Ravens.  Do they want to open up the offense or do they want

to risk the season to a below average opponent.  A loss tomorrow is a tattoo on the Ravens they don't want on their heads (or in their heads).

Q and Sandusky and Harbs all know this game is big, no doubt about it.

Yep- huge difference between 4-1 and 3-2 and this game while not being a rivalry means ALOT going forward. We need to stack as many wins as we can in the first half of the season. If we dont get ATLEAST 6 I'm afraid we might come up short come postseason time. really makes you wish we could've gotten one more catch or PI call and beaten the raiders. I just can't seem to get that bad taste out my mouth. The only thing that will remove it is a DISTINCTIVE victory tommorow.

Nah man, if we lose this it's season over. We'll have nothing left to play for but to tank so badly we have a chance to land Fournette AND Garrett.

By now everyone should know the importance of a week five non-conference game. Entire seasons can ride or die on results like this one.

It's not rocket surgery.

Focus on the Ravens.

If we lose to the Raiders AND redskins we have no business saying we're a good team, this is a very big game.

[letitgosometimes]

Totally agree, Cillmatic.  The Ravens can not look beyond this game.  They will listen to Harbs and play "A" team football.

Unsupported preposition.  

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Top #1 Is RED ZONE PLAY CALLING. After watching the first quarter of the Nfl season and the College Football Season, I would have to say we have the suckiest RZ play calling of almost every pro and college team. WHY? Its like we are playing for field goals every drive, thank God for Tucker, our best weapon.

For all of the money we have, you mean to tell me we cant find 1 Offensive minded coach with football brains,that could actually evaluate the talent we have, and create successful plays, and maximize the talent we have. I am sorry, but I am sick of excuses and apologists. 

That should be our #1 TOP PRIORITY.

Are you kidding me? If we lose our FRANCHISE is over. Move the team to Nebraska!

[letitgosometimes]

Is it time for the Ravens to try the Shotgun, Max Protect (FB and HB on both sides of Joe)?  Even running out of the I-formation places the backs in

position to help protect the quarterback.  Secure the win without injury to Joe.

[KBoum]

How bout the good ol' Bears 4-6 ? yeah we don't live in that world anymore where teams would come up with 1-2 TEs, 1RB, 1 RB and run the ball. Nowadays they spread the field and run "hot"  throwns/patterns in soft zone spot against a 4-4 blitzing team. Bubble, quick WR screens, quick outs the LBs would be too slow to cover the outside h-mark and you just push the CB deeper with a deep routes. If they play cover 2 ? playaction pass in the seem, hook zone.

 

I'm no offensive mastermind I'm more of a defense type but base defense are Nickle nowadays. Great teams have a pass rush with 4 front players only. Sometimes send a LB or DB blitz but gotta be able to make the QB hesitate by taking his quick passes quickly and bait him

I agree. Joe has 4 TDs, 4 picks, and a QB rating that puts him in the company of Brock Osweiler and Blake Bortles. He needs to take ownership of his results whether that is changing calls at the line, whatever. He is making too much $$ for the type of results we're seeing. He's better than this - he has to be. 

[Swijjy]

1.) Get a new OC

2.) Fire Marc Tresman

3.) Send Marc Tresman Packing

4.) Higher new OC

5.) Get rid of offensive play caller

[letitgosometimes]

Joe can put the football in a mailbox from 60+ yards; backfield blocking and snappy patterns will result in consistent completions down field.  Find a way to give Joe just 1.5 more seconds in the pocket and the sun shines on the Ravens.

Our redzone efficiency has gone way down. To fix this, they need to run more wildcat, at least until teams prove they know how to stop it. The key to running a successful wildcat will be bringing Keenan Reynolds up from the PS. Just give Reynolds the ball out of the wildcat inside the redzone and we'll score more TDs; he led the FBS in TDs for a reason.

And worse yet, we would be a 3-3 football team. No 3-3 teams ever make the playoffs. The Kansas City Chiefs last year had the right idea in going 1-5 just to avoid being 3-3. They thought ahead and guess what? They made the playoffs. Why can't Harbs and co be smart like that?

Ravens have to score any creative way they can, to win.

Umm, NO

The wildcat is crap and doesn't work in the NFL
