We were playing without so many key starters, all you people saying fire harbaugh are ridiculous and are bandwagon at best.

[robbie29]

Injuries continue to knock out the few key players we have, the sloppy penalties continue each week, Receivers drop passes, Flacco is playing sub-par...this is a recipe for another losing season

trade joe fire john fire dean start new next year an let suggs go find guys who can rush the passer rebuild secondary time to turn the page

[BLACKNPURPLE]

Is anyone else just completely sick of watching Joe Flacco? His "Joe Cool" attitude is a cover up for a self conscious, aloof, non-leader that can't read defenses or throw with accuracy. His form is getting worst and worst as his career goes on and so is his intent.

Do you even care anymore Joe Flacco?

[BigUgly]

New offensive coordinator, offense beset by injuries, and only a slight improvement.

Still far too many formations with Joe in the shotgun, which effectively takes away the threat of a run, enables the defense to pin their ears back, and results in Joe throwing off his back foot. I'm sure his completion percentage out of the 'gun is demonstrably worse than when he's under center. Still a lot of work to do.

And can we ask Harbs to dial back the "being aggressive" a bit?

[Molson Man]

All the play calling in the world can't stop Flacco from throwing behind the line of scrimmage when you need 19 yards. That said Harbaugh needs to stop pulling points from the board. 3-0 with Stanley 0-3 without a rookie seems to be our best player. 8-14 in the last 22, all but one game decided by 8 or fewer, we just aren't very good.

[surfdude]

Team beside the injuries just isn't well coached and therefore I see another losing season.

This fan hating every time we are disappointed and demanding answers is ridiculous!! What is bandwagon fan??
Sorry I ain't wasting my time and money for a team which keeps on loosing in ridiculous manners. If that makes me bandwagon, so be it..And yes, in small market such as Baltimore, in a town where playoff was given, where only arguments before the start of the season used to be if team will get a wild card bye..This kind of performances doesn't fly.

Can't play under center when your Center & Guards can't block. Zuttah, Jensen & Urschel are not quality NFL Linemen.

[surfdude]

Even IF the team was healthy they would still find a way to lose the game. I'm frustrated with this team the last couple of seasons. I used to be a fan of Joe & John and now that is in question. Gonna have earn back my respect as a fan with some wins. Don't see it happening with this offensive line. Absolutely horrible.

I have 20 years of ticket stubs that say your wrong

[TheConquerorWorm]

Dropped passes, Stupid penalties, Zero pass rush, Bad O-line play, injuries. I don't care who the coaching staff or QB is - you're not winning games.

what happened to the pass rush? i thought giants had the worse OL next to us

[The Greek]

harbaugh looks like a guy saving his job by going for it every week on 4th down. flacco is highly overpaid. brady can win with this lineup. front office needs to huddle up and draft better than they have. no game breakers on offense.

Game Recap...

1) How many times will coaching cost Ravens games. Coach Horrible chasing points 3 straight games, and again costing a win. This week take the fg.. would have set up a Tucker GW Fg at the end instead of needing a TD.

2) Better playcalling flow, more deep shots from Marty but still 48 passes unacceptable. West 23 for 87, When Ravens had a 10-0 lead at 1 point, and 10-10 most of the game. Run the ball 30x West could and should of had 30 for 115-120.

3) Coaching Decisions and injuries costing team. Harbaugh or coach Horrible take the freaking points you already lost 3 games chasing points. Also this team is embarrassment to the city with a makeshift Oline 15 penalties.
I wont watch another game, unless they get half their starters back.
Im done watching Ducasse,Jenson,etc until Stanley,Yanda etc gets Harbaughs approval Im done with this embarrassment of a team

Harbaugh is getting worse

They did before the game but as usual we turn their weakness into their strength. Don't know why or how we always seem to do this.

[surfdude]

Its not Steve's style to fire Harbs during the season but I would say his seat is white hot right about now. The players just don't look like they play with that Raven passion that were all used too. Team is bad really bad.

flacco cannot be defended any longer dude. he has some talent on this offense and shows no leadership what so ever. i hate brady but he would be 6-0 if he was the qb. harbs needs to leave the offense to marty.

[Europoljuice]

Lets face it. We can make excuses and pretend that all of our so called Star players are great, but truth is,..many are not. So if you want to drink the purple kool-aid then you better stop reading now. The O-line actually played pretty darn good considering the injuries and all the changes this week. Sure I can go on about the secondary and how they blew it. But the main reason we lost was still the same issue. The offence that is 2nd to last in the NFL. That's right 2nd to last. So even though Marty's new play calling was much better then Tresman's. We still didn't score like we could have or should have. Heck we couldn't even punch the ball in the end zone on the 2 yard line. Well it's time to get real now and some people won't like what I am about to say. Joe Flacco is a nice guy and a great family man. However he is not and I repeat, NOT a elite QB. Sad to say but so true. He missed several wide open receivers. I mean several. Some were wide open in the end zone and there is no excuse. Plus even though he has a monster arm. He is not accurate. Not even close. It's time we get honest and real. We need to draft a QB and start developing a true accurate QB. He miss reads plays and is was to unpredictable and not consistent. He lacks the touch. It's tuff to admit it, but it is true. We will never win another Superbowl as long as he is the QB. It's time to start looking for a long term replacement.

Wallace is a game breaker, but as you said we have Flacco

[TheRavenBanter]

Call them Bandwagoners or what ever you want. Fans have a right to voice their displeasure with a team's poor performance, regardless of what ultimately is the determining factor causing losses. It seems with this organization that the actual monetary bottom line is all that really matters. In the end we'll see similar results resembling Baltimore Football of old. Like many other fans following this sports franchise, I refuse to tolerate the organization's posture of business as usually when the team performs so badly. I guess I'm a bandwagoner because I hate to lose. So be it!!

[Maurice0094]

it gets old watchin harbaugh go for testosterone decisions versus smart head coaching plays. flacco looked shook even when he did receive time but this dates back to last year. Pass rush is non existent but that seemingly will get worse if Suggs is out for year. Suggs off sides penalties are getting very old as well. Stupid penalties that continue to occur that kill drives and continue drives is ridiculous. At some point we cant just look at the coordinators and assistants. Gotta start lookin at the head coach Harbaugh and the players out on the field.

It's not like they didn't call the routes, it's that those routes were covered.  Watch the game, you could see that on tv. Smh

[surfdude]

I have to agree with the overall vibe here. Joe was a one hit wonder and got paid and IMO is stealing money from Steve. I've defended Joe around the water cooler for years , but now I can't any longer. Sorry Joe nice guy, but an average QB at best. Enjoy your cash while the Ravens and its fans suffer for another few years.

[surfdude]

I would bet Suggs tore his bicep. Team is truly snake bitten.

Harbaugh is getting worse

1. If they take the FG, it changes the rest of the plays from there on out. So, it doesn't set up a game winning FG. It's foolish to think that is actually possible. We wouldn't have even been in position to win the game if Harbs hadn't went for on 4th & 5.

2. West had 3 chances to score from the 1 yard line and couldn't - you think he gets 30 yards on 7 more carries? The Giants tighten their run D and the run wasn't working. You call the plays that the defense gives you. Juice with the worst (non) block by a fullback ever.

3. O-line, Injuries & Pass Rush (or lack thereof) is why we are losing games.

[law215]

Key points in the game

1. After Wallace 70 yard catch and face mask penalty, Ravens inside the 10 just had poor series of plays called. Ultimately Harb decided to go for it on fourth down with a sweep. Just a dumb decision.

2. Pees never adjusted to OBJ. This is no different than when AJ Green torches the Ravens in the 4th quarter. Where was the safety help?

3. Early in the game holding penalties killed the Ravens. It put them in 3rd and long too often

4. Flacco and Marty never adjusted to the corner blitz and JPP started to work Lewis without getting help. I hope to see a difference. I am starting to think a coach calls a play and its up to the QB to see what the defense is doing to adjust. Joe does not seem to do that.

[Crusader]

Yea Joe plays like he rather be with his family. He just looks like a guy who does not care anymore. I guess once you get superbowl MVP what else is there?
