flacco is overpaid and harbs is on his last leg, oz has had some crappy drafts and it shows. WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH as harbs will say tomorrow in his press conference but will defend going for it on 4th down once again.

Even with the beat up offensive linemen?

yes because brady would have won with this offense. flacco i hate to say is avg. and overpaid

Agree about flacco but this line is in shambles

I think Marty called a pretty good game but Harbs should have taken the points instead of "being aggressive". You would think he learned his lesson last week.
Joe needs to practice more or have a seat. His job needs to be in question, regardless of his "Franchise" status.
Webby needs to cover on that last Giants TD. His play was pitiful for a "safety". Lavine showed more heart and speed than Web, trying to run Beckum down.
Way too many penalties across the board and Suggs got his usual off sides again. That's 5 games in a row now he gets called for that one!!!!!! Everyone has to clean it up big time! The only reason we don't have more holes in our feet is because we ran out of bullets.
Too many holes to right this ship. We'll be lucky to go 8-8.

Your right I like the feel of the play call, we just need to execute more.

harbaugh ruined martys flow with his stupid aggressive calls

[Molson Man]

For the last 22 games , this teams struggles against every opponent. Against god teams it fools you into believing they are better than they are.

I know Steve preached about consistency a the last state of the Ravens , but it is time to blow this thing up.

Get a new coach and new coordinator. You have to ask what does John bring by himself. Don't hire from within. Go outside for some fresh perspective.

To true 8-14 in the past 22

You people blaming harbaugh are ridiculous. You should be happy we came close, given all the injures we had. It's almost a repeat of 2012. We lost by 17 points, but we weren't healthy. It's literally the same story. Now I do admit not going for a FG in RETROSPECT was a bad call, but we had plenty of opportunity to overcome that...and we didn't injures man injures. So moral of the story is stop blaming john for everything. Actually do a good enough analysis for once before you type some BS online, you're embarrassing ravens nation.

[Molson Man]

Oh and BTW 3-0 with Stanley 0-3 without him, I think that says it all when your most important player is a rookie.

26-28 since Ray Lewis retired, check your facts before defending a losing coach

John, is that you?
Do you know
your 8-14 in the last 22 games,
on pace to miss the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years
your team commits double digit penalties almost every week,
your young players are not developing
And this is the 3rd week ina row where your decisions cost the team points?

In retrospect? This is the 3rd week in a row. How many sticks of dynamite need to go off. Because of the injuries , he should have taken the points. SMH

Coaching technique and fundamentals can help prevent injuries. The coaches don't do that and that's what we get is year after year of bad teams and injured teams. The Ravens need to draft better and find coaches who can develop players. The time has passed where we had such talented players that fundamental was just common ... we have available talent that needs a lot of coaching. We also have a head coach who is a ST guy he isn't Defense or Offense guy. So developing talent in the 2 biggest parts of the game isn't his strong suit.

[TheConquerorWorm]

It's definitely time for a change and I'm not talking coaching.

Cut Aiken & Pitta - can't catch, more dropped balls.
Cut Juice - you're a fullback and can't block 1 guy on the goalline. And zero wheels - catch the ball wide open and can't get the 2 yards to the 1st down.
Cut Shareece Wright, Will Davis, Kendrick Lewis, LaDarius Webb
Cut ZDarius Smith, Dumervil - no pass rush
Cut Jensen, Zuttah, Urschel - can't block.

Play Judon, Correa, Moore, Dixon, Waller. If they don't produce, cut them.

[robbie29]

Broken record...penalties, injuries, terrible o line, and mediocrity at QB. This team is what it's record says it is- an average team. Unfortunately, the opponents will only get tougher as the injuries, no doubt, will continue to cripple the team. At this rate the Ravens will be lucky to finish 7-9

Isn't that Harbaugh narrowed words, way to throw it back at him. You sir are a genius.

[Crusader]

My predictions. The only game the Ravens will win is the Browns game 4--12 and Ozy will get another first round bust to pick. Ravens might be getting another coach before the end of this year. West will get hurt trying to do to much.

[Ravenous_Ravens]

Again not taking the near automatic guaranteed points when they were there, contributes to loss. In a game where your team is not carrying the momentum and to suddenly swing things in your favor only to walk away empty handed is unacceptable. Don't give us your aggressive play calling talk coach. It's called being wise and not making the poor decision. It literally killed any excitement or momentum your team had created. All this aggressive talk and execution taking place early in games only contributes to being forced to take those aggressive shots late in the game when you don't necessarily want to given a situation.

If the Ravens want to win games again this year it starts with three things:

1. Clean up the garbage penalties. How many games need to be lost due to excessive penalties either stalling drives or giving opponents extra shots to score points. Make the players run laps or whatever. Yes they will complain and then you tell them it stops when the penalties stop, wouldn't hurt to get some extra conditioning either.
2. Take the points every way you can get them. You not wining enough of those gambles to justify calling them anymore and you are not scaring opponents by going for it and not even gaining field position for taking the risk. Sure seems like gambling the farm for nothing.
3. All WR, TE, RB taking at least 50 reps from the jugs machine daily. No excuses for dropping the easily catch-able balls. Watch the ball into your hands, and ignore the guy coming to hit you. Would you rather get hit and make the catch or get hit and drop the ball? If your gonna make a guy miss, then you'll make his miss. Catch the ball first.

With all those losses being by slim margins, it is absolutely crazy this has yet to be addressed once and for all.

Our secondary is absolutely PATHETIC. Go spend some dang money and get some players that can cover!!!!!!! This is totally ridiculous.

They were all injured already. These aren't the guys we all started with, and they keep dropping. We do however need better depth.

Man it doesn't matter what dbs are on the field they all look the same to me. There's not 1 db on this team that you can say is RELIABLE. They all stink. This secondary has been a problem for years and, it hasn't been addressed at all...I'm so sick of seeing the same outcome every game, have a lead the 4th qt and magically it disappears because we can't cover. Our pass rush is terrible too while I'm at it. GO GET SOME COVER CORNERS AND A TRUE FREE SAFETY. Webb needs to be benched I'm sorry.

[Crusader]

Instead a flock of Ravens we have a chicken coop full of peeps.

[Dre-Dog-31]

J.smith L.webb S.wright all need to be bench or cut we need new corners

[MTRavensFan]

Ridiculous. Jimmy was having a great game before he went out. Beckham didn't go off until the 2ND half. 

[RavensFanMania]

Outside of Suggs this was the worst injury we could have had today.  We could withstand any other injury today, outside of flacco, and still won this game.  Losing smith was devastating 

[Dorota]

J.smith L.webb S.wright all need to be bench or cut we need new corners

Lardarius Webb is a safety this season, and he's saved us at least one TD last night.

He did fairly well before leaving but he gave up a ridiculous touchdown the week before to Garcon. 

[manofsteel]

If Jimi Smith plays too hard, he gets hurt, if he is getting beat(which is always), he gets hurt.He is nowhere a good cornerback, even the analyst says he is lees than mediocre. I firmly agree! Lets get rid of him and find a real cornerback. Same with Webb. Maybe even the backfield coach, whoever he thinks he is that. Lets teach all secondary how to tackle and not by the shoulders or throwing yourself out into space hopeing to hit the defender.
