I said Harbaugh was a fluke years ago, and I got super negged for it. Don't know how much longer it will take before Ozzie and them realize that was Ray Lewis's presence that got us all those play off appearances and the SB win.

ozzie is the biggest problem

POLL for the board: What are the chances the Ravens come out of their BYE like a new and improve team and string some wins together ?

I say 5%

If Stanley and Yanda come back along with CJ and Smith Jr. perhaps they can do it. Remember, we have a luxury with an Elite QB except he just needs a little more protection which I'm sure Stanley and Yanda will offer.

You mean after Joe gets his shoulder and knee healed? Those interceptions were bad throws and the protection was sound. Joe is making as many awful throws as good throws. That happens when you throw off your back foot. As for CJ and Smith, this roster has oodles of issues that CJ and Smith can't fix.

Ray Lewis said "there is no leadership" years ago. And I was right there agreeing with him. But noooooo, if you ask all of our "experts" they had soo much faith in the guys we have SMH. Can we please get Ray Lewis back in the building.

He is gone and retired but we do need to draft those nasties again. The alpha male that steps up and commands not just the huddle but inspires the whole team, keep them in check when they need it, give an individual the pep talk that sends him towards greatness. That we can all agree.

Just as soon as Harbs is no longer the HC. Can't have AMs causing a ruckus in the locker room you know.

[Ibleedperple]

Papa John's don't have to worry about 50% off pizza in Baltimore, UNLESS we beat Cleveland. With the performance of this team, the coaching of having them prepared to play and How we get out coached in every second half we will be lucky to win one.... We have to many problems to fix, and the toughest part of the schedule starts after the bye. So if you think they can win 7 more games tell me what you are drinking. Here is the schedule: BYE, can we take that as a win? lol... Steelers - Home- Loss (No pass protection), Browns - Home (Maybe), Cowboys - Away - Loss ( Can't score enough points), Bengals - Home - (Can't score enough points again), Dolphins -  Home -  Toss Up But I doubt it - Loss, Patriots - away -  LOSS don't want to talk about this one.... Eagles - Home Loss..... Steelers away -Loss, Bengals Away - Loss,,,,, Do you really in your mind think they can over come this schedule and win 7 to 8 more games....Never Happen

Joe flopped on a play with no one around him and yall continue to blame the O line and the O line isn't throwing INTs back to back! Yall blame the O line l blame Joe Flacco! Sincerely The Troll!

I saw Joe fall twice.... He tripped over his Zuttah because he was being drilled into the backfield the entire game. I guess Joe is going to have to be in shotgun the rest of the year as I don't se Jeremy improving. Do you?

Joe fell three times. Twice while Zuttah was on roller skates, and the third he tripped over his own feet because he saw Lewis blocking an edge rusher who was getting close. Zuttah's been aspirationally average since they signed him, but the panic flop was on Joe.

again a roster put together by the fo. 

[BKeyser]

Just to be clear, I'm not defending Joe's INT's. However, I haven't seen one person so far mention that he set a franchise record today for throws without an INT. Flacco has 6 picks in 7 games AND set a record for consecutive throws without a pick, 176. How is this possible? Because we're one dimensional and everyone and their grandmother knows it. How hard is it to make a QB look bad when you know he's going to throw and you send 6 guys after him?

(Don't ask Dean Pees that; he won't know.)

Given the constant pressure he's under, I'd say franchise records (he set another earlier this year for straight completions - we forgot about that too, I guess) and no running game add up to more than "it's Joe's fault."

Who's got the guts to say we would've won today, all things being equal except Mallet behind center?

Is Joe Flacco Elite?

Absolutely not nor will he ever be.  He is a greedy money making fraud who passion is golf not football.

This loss may be a blessing in disguise, this team is bad. We need top draft picks. I am not being a fair weather fan, IMHO I am just calling it as I see it.

i agree but if oz and co is in charge than we are toast. ozzie has no magic left and the current roster backs it up. 

[BigUgly]

Wonder if Hester is cut over the BYE. He's been a liability. Might as well throw Camp back there.

Joe obviously lacks confidence and may deal with physicals handicaps, be it recovery from ACL or his hsoulder. Never seen a worse performance from him than in second half. Cant blame this all on o-line. He does not step into his throw when releasing medium or long throws. One can see this partly this year oddly enough with Rodgers as well (some games). It can n my view only be fixed when we have a run game going and better protection. And we miss an emotional leader. Cant build one, but then it comes to coaching, to motivate enough.

[Ibleedperple]

Hope Steve, Ozzie and the rest of the organization is watching the Steeler and Patriot game, they might see how an organization is suppose to operate. A bunch of no names on each team, just like the Ravens. But better coaching, teams better prepared. We have been going down hill since the Super bowl in 2012. Since 2013 WINS - 26    LOSSES - 29

[81Jimmy]

I watch now since 5 years games of the Ravens but cannot really remember such performance like in second half. Apart from mistakes, bad tackling, again no pass rush resp. samrt blitzes to pressure the qb, this offense is even getting worse. O-Line cannot protect (Zuttah and jensen are likely worst NFL-linemen), but Joe is totally out of snych with his receivers. When he is even overthrowing and missing Pitta and Aiken I wonder what is happening. Likely not only one answer. Still (mentally) recovering from ACL and should, he was not stepping up and really off target. But what I missed is leadership in the offense. No one shaked this group up. It is Smith usually with one play. We do not have any playmakers. And the thing I wonder most: where are the TEs. In the offseason, how much was the depth of the TE corp praised. Now? Pitta has his catches, but not really big plays. Crockett - I havent seen him involved in big plays. Williams, out ok. The rest? When you have speedy receivers like Perriman, Wallace, Moore it should open things up fro them. I was so optimistc before season with those weapons, but...If they cannot regroup, find confidence during bye and smash the Steelers, I think this season will end December. It was really painful to see this offense today. A real shame given the solid play of defense.

[gr2522]

Right now Joe seems to lack confidence, but after the bye hopefully Harbaugh and company can address the nuisances which have been killing us the past 4 games. With the O-Line healthy hopefully a string of victories will follow. Go Ravens!!!

[ravenpic]

Injuries are killing us. Start Mallett until we're healthy. Get some discipline...Every week a different player makes a bone head play. Since Harbaugh refered to the "Hand of God" we are 0-4. More like "What the hell is going on out there?" That makes a little more since after seeing the past 4 games.

What the heck are you watching?  P*triots are trying to lose but the Steelers suck too badly for that to happen.  Neither team looked competent today. 

[20306cab]

To criticize the D at all this year is asinine. There is ONE main problem with this team! Far Below Average Joe.

Flacco fell 3 times. Twice the center was pushed back to him however it's true that the Oline is bad, but Flacco is worse. Position by position, he is by far the worst player on the offense.

[gr2522]

Ravens will get way better after the bye.  We gotta believe they will especially with Harbaugh and Co. coaching up the team.

[ellicottraven]

Anybody else disappointed with our Ravens this season? Disappointed with Harbs, Flacco and the offense generally speaking? Are we still going to continue to defend Flacco's performance regardless of how he plays? When is that point where we can all with no risk of rebuke be able to point out that Flacco is a primary catalyst in our loss today?

[Flockster]

I'm staying with Flacco but keep him out until we are healthy. It took the Ravens years to get a decent QB after dumping Vinnie because he had a sub par season. Kyle was a bust. Good QB's are hard to come by. Remember that Flacco and good coaching has served us well. Right now it's injuries and poor assistant coaching that are hurting us offensively. No wonder Joe is so off balance. Hope the bye turns out to be a blessing.

[SteveinEC]

Joe has been playing awful for a while now. You keep waiting for him to turn the corner and play like a 9 year superbowl winning qb should: throwing receivers open, throwing accurately, reading defenses well, going through his progressions quickly, making smart decisions. He has not been doing any of that which equates to 4 straight losses after 3 wins that could easily have been losses as well. Is it rust from the injury? Is it the 5 coordinators in 5 years? I hope so because then there is hope that he will eventually play a lot better, but there is no doubt he has regressed since the superbowl and he is playing some brutal football right now.
