Feel the same way except not losing my enthusiasm

Kudos to you brother. This was a tough loss. And quite frankly, I'm less disappointed at this one than any other loss this season. The previous 2 we should have won hands down. This one was painful but we had no business wining this game. The Giants were the better team at home today.

Did it ruin my weekend? Yes! Am I concerned? Absolutely! But I'm gonna wake up in the morning hungry for sucess and I pray to god this team is ready to get better coz the potential is there.

[PalmBayRaven]

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!!

Maybe we need to try a Quarterback change? Obviously Joe is not getting it done with the overthrow/under throws. He is now 27-26 since the Super Bowl. He is over paid for what he has produced.

He has consistently done this since last year, he has fundimental problem going on. Perhaps it could be a mental thing as well. I don't have the answer but I'm not blind he throws short every time because it's one read check down. He hasn't gone through his progressions since the Super Bowl. On a plus I did see him call 3 adjustments and 2 audibles today.

Just spicing up things here.

One of those audibles was when Joe literally changed the play and we ran right into the defensive overload while the left side of the line outnumbered the defenders. Someone just shoot me lol

To funny

[dirtybird66]

this is the whole problem,FLACCO goes through periods of the game that he looks pretty good,then goes in and out of focusing on the game,this year is worse than ever,hot and cold won't win games,i go on record if one would look back in the draft articles,I said use the #6 pick on a QB we would of had a great one. 20 mill to be hot and cold?

[picke]

And starting at Quarterback, out of Arkansas - #15 - RYAN MALLETT! Ahhh, wouldn't that be nice?

[BigNasty66]

Hate to say but Webb looked like a fish out of water on that last touchdown pass, missed an easy pick and has been a non factor all season. Hopefully they activate Elam from the IR after the bye week so we can see if he has any potential for next year.

[dirtybird66]

some players make millions per year and they really give a Crap about not being an embarracement,some make millions a year and could care less,hey i'm rich i could give a damn about the pride of this football town,it would be different if we worked are asses off and lost,didn't make the same stupid mistakes each week,i could live with it then.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Sadly, once again, Harbaugh gambles, and loses again, valueable points that could have helped us win the game. He needs a timeout, and to be put in that famous "doghouse"

i just expect them to lose every game. even when we went up, i knew we would lose giving up some sloppy long pass on a blown coverage and sabotage the pathetic performance. they were given gifts all day including 2 penalties on the last drive which imo were really tick tack. the coaching staff and front office needs to be cleaned out from top to bottom including the GM. i am sure they will let them flounder for the rest of the season and claim they are working to "get better" like every week since eternity. i wouldnt mind decosta staying, but if he had anything to do with the state of the team now, it would not upset me to send him along.

flacco looked like he had potential as a rookie, but the poor ability to read and make accurate throws over several seasons proves his SB run was just a lucky anomaly. should have just let him walk and built the next team with any journeyman qb who would be much more capable of running an offense. at this point, i would sit his butt down and play mallet to see if the results are different. if mallet is even remotely decent, trade flacco for whatever you can get. he is incompetent as the offensive leader.

[Crusader]

Wallace waiting on the ball to come down in stead of going up after it in the end zone.

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.

You can't say Joe is stealing money from Steve when Steve offer Joe 120M. During that time Joe would've accepted less money (probably 15-18M range). Blame Steve for that not Joe.

How can you not provide deep coverage on Odell Beckham? Twice he beat the Ravens corners and the safeties were no where around. This isn't pretender Perriman. This is a true number one wide receiver. They should have had him double covered all day. Instead he gets loose for two TDs. Everyone knows the Ravens can be beat deep. It is happening every game yet nothing is done to rectify it. Another ugly performance on both sides of the ball.

Quit crying. Flacco didn't lose that game. A few big plays on a banged up defense, terrible officiating, and a patchwork o-line dictated that game. Our offense showed much improvement outside of every 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 25 they had to face.

Horrible officiating went both ways so I'm not putting it on the refs. And yes injuries played a huge factor but we need to get used to it. The Giants were almost as banged up of not worse. It's the NFL we have to learn to manuver around injuries. You can't keep lining a rookie up against Odell and expect anything else. And yes, Flacco didn't single handedly lose us the game but he had plenty of opportunities to win it. That's what kills me!

And no I'm not calling for Flacco to be benched but he has to look at that tape and start throwing things at the TV. I have never ever ever seen Flacco miss so many throws. Last week I pinned it on the crazy wind. This week it's obvious something is wrong with him after working with Trestman for more than a year.

its not the first time Trestman ruins a QBs mechanics, poise, and timing. I hope he didn't do enough perminant damage and Flacco somehow gets out of this funk

Maybe it takes a couple of losing seasons for it to sink in that this is not a good football team and the philosophy in the organization needs to change

This past offseason the front office thought missing the playoffs was a blip and expected to make it.

Front office believed with the #6 overall pick and 11 draft picks in total, that they could turn things around quickly. DeCosta commented that the fact Perriman did not play would be like having 2 first round draft picks this season.

Steve noted the impact of losing Suggs and pass rush is critical to Ravens success.

Reality Check

1. With 11 draft picks, where are the play makers and depth?.

2. Joe, Webb, J Smith all look overpaid. It kills me that these guys get paisd and guys like Boldin, KO, and maybe B Williams are too expensive.

3. Where is the pass push?

4. Why did Wright get a deal?

5. Why is out best receiver always over 33 years old.

[outkast1]

Just Think ? We could have drafted Dak Prescott ,but we choose two unknown 2nd and 3rd picks this year.

[gr2522]

Here we go again! For the the third straight week in a cardiac inducing kinda of game which keeps you at the edge of your seat coach Harbaugh made a stupid decision and decided to chase 4 extra points on 4 and goal which cost the team 3 points. These points would have made a difference at the end of the game. A field goal at the end would have won the game instead of needing TD. Coach Harbaugh I guess it's your turn to be put on the hot seat and get fired at season`s end because these losses need to stop! Oh, wait Harbaugh, you can blame Pees for his play call selection and fire him this week to buy yourself more time.

ozzie has lost his touch with finding talent his team is pathetic. Its hard to believe that through flaccos entire time with the team we have yet to draft him a reliable WR meanwhile the steelers keep drafting amazing WR every year

Retweet, I think we need new scouts. Our scouting department is to blame for the lack of talent and fragile players this team has

WR all trash perriman is an unpolished route runner. He has zero moves all he can do is go deep and even then hell drop the ball. Ozzie has to be the worst gm when it comes to drafting WRs

4. Why did Wright get a deal?

5. Why is out best receiver always over 33 years old.

1. Rookies don't typically come in and play well right away. (Tavon Young is rare)

2. Webb's deal can't be cut until next year due to cap hits. Joe is being paid starting QB market value for a guy with his skillet and experience, and resume. Jimmy Smith was playing well before he took a shot to the head. Clearly you didn't realize he missed the entire second half.

3. How many games have we had a two score lead in the 2nd half? That is where the pass rush truly gets going. Throw in the fact that the defense was on the field a ton due to the way officials called the 2nd quarter and they got tired. I would like to see them throw Correa in on rushing situations.

4. The Wright deal seems like an impulse decision IMO. He has tackled well outside in space, but clearly can't keep up with the quicker/faster WRs. I was screaming the whole game to put Tavon Young on Odell after Jimmy went down. I saw Will Davis get smoked by Odell a few times, and Wright was also a victim.

5. Our best WRs are old dudes because Ozzie is savvy enough to sign hungry vets who happen to be better football players.

*They didn't mention it on TV, but on the second Odell TD, Weddle accidentally took out Young's knee on the play, which left Odell wide open. 4.3 speed did the rest. (Bad Break IMO).

[Ravensfolyfe]

Average football team,average coach and of course young average players. Harbs hasn't been on top of his job since Ray Lewis and Ed Reed retired.

To that I kinda agree. Perriman is unpolished as a route runner and has a lot of room to improve but that's normal with rookie WRs that are drafted outside of the top ten and are thrusted into a starting lineup on a struggling offense 5 games into their development.

If perriman gets 1000 yards this season Ozzie will look like a genius. If he gets 1000 yard within his rookie deal then he's still a good pick and we'll pick up that option. The drops don't worry me as much as most because everyone is dropping Flaccos balls lately. No Chemstry what so ever. I do agree that WR is probably the worst position for Ozzie in the draft but the verdict is still out there on Breshad. What really worries me is his knees.... 

[ravenstime]

We always seem to get burned by a top-flight WR. Wether it's A.J. Green, A. Brown, or OBJ. I know Smith missed half the game and that's when OBJ got going. If we're playing a team with one of those awesome receivers, we're going to be losing the game unless we score every time 7 POINTS, not 3. I really do think we cannot afford to only get 3, it cost us vs. the Raiders in a 28-27 loss, where we had 2 FG's and they had the extra TD (4 on the day). I'm sure we will lose if we're not scoring TD's almost every time on our opponents side of the field.
I don't blame Harbaugh for going for the TD. He was going for the win, we just didn't execute and really, you need to throw at least once in a series inside the 5 yard line. You certainly cannot risk running on 4th down. I disagree with not throwing it at least once and I didn't like the execution (blocking up-front), but I do not disagree with Harbaugh giving the PLAYERS a chance to win the game, I know some disagree with this, but at least if you don't make the TD, their starting from their own goal line and most likely will end up punting anyway.

[cbrook1862]

Joe Flacco is not our damn problem people!!! Name one competitive game we have been in, in which Joe was playing that he did not ALWAYS give us a chance to win. Just like in our last 2 losses, today he put us in a position to win, but on a 4th down play, in which all the defense needed was to make one more stop to win the game, they give up the game winning TD, right after Joe led the ravens to a TD. The o-line was horrible, they constantly put us in bad situations. and I heard there were drops.

[blackandpurple20]

Year after year I spend the offseason hoping we will pick up or draft a top flight CB, and year after year we pay the price for ignoring this glaring need on our team. I just don't get it.

sharrecce wright came in the game and I said "ohh no not this clown" and he came in and did what he does best which is give up big catches he cant cover anybody its annoying seeing him play

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn I don't get it either and it is becoming increasingly annoying game after game to keep watching the same terrible product we put out. Ozzie needs to quit trying to bargain shop with these C level dbs! Go spend some dang money on talent.

[BaccaFly]

Do you guys want to end up like the 49ners after they fired their coach?!....idiots

[cbrook1862]

Not one fan ever complained about wanting to see all these damn changes made in the organization until this season. We loose 3 games in a row and all of a sudden we can't draft, Joe is a one hit wonder, There needs to be a HC change, there needs to be a GM change, we don't know what we're doing, this guy needs to get promoted, that guy needs to be fired, Perriman, we have no playmakers, We make stupid decisions.... SHUT THE HELL UP! Grow some balls and stop being so upset all your life bc your points and complaining are all dumb and ignorant.
