Suggs, SSS, Hester, Yanda, Flacco, and Webb are 30 year or older. Just saying "Father Time" may be catching up to their playing careers..."In Ozzie We Trust". Go Ravens!!!

[JimmyBlack]

I don't see us winning more than 2-3 more games this season. We just don't have it this season again.

[Purple Dawg 96]

All the players listed above are injured or hurt and not playing except for one! WHY IS THAT?! Because it showed Sunday even Stevie Wonder could see it! When is Harbs gonna pull this guy out he is killing our squad! Sincerely The Troll Lol

I don't see us winning more than 2-3 more games this season. We just don't have it this season again.

John Harbaugh has over extended his coaching career in Baltimore. Until a new X's and O's coach is hired who brings up and coming coordinators along with new position coaches specially an o-line one will the Ravens have a chance at returning to winning football. I hope Ozzie realizes this need soon. Go Ravens!!!

[Purple Hazard]

Ravens need to get healthy again and take a hard look at them selfes and cut out the mistakes. I hope that the bye will help us do that and that we come out stronger. If not we might as well look for another top 10 draft pick.

[metalraven]

So by getting back to full strength, they'll get back to where they were when the season began - a not so good team who barely beat teams that were worse than them.

But seriously, maybe the tough teams they have to play will light a fire under their butts.

[b93333]

Not much chance (if any) of making the play-offs this year... time to take a look at the young guys and at dumping some of the high paid, under performing, vets. we will probably be drafting in the top 6 again this year... hope someone different from the last few years is making these picks.

[crazyboutravens]

Well we now know one thing. Stanley probably will not play. I base that on the fact that every time one of people say he is ready he does not play. I am still surprised that they did not put him on IR which they could still do.

[crazyboutravens]

Welcome to the CIA. Doom a procedure on his foot area. R U kidding me. We need to keep what part of the foot area top secret. Foot, ankle. leg. The Ravens
are being childish about some of these injuries. I guess when you play lousy
football you get paranoid. I thought for sure they would say Suggs had an arm
injury just to keep us guessing. And no one knows about Stanley. He has been
ready to play forever.

[thegooddoc456]

Good, let them come back, but till the Ravens rid themselves of Harbaugh and his cast of incompetent coaches, there will be little progress made. Harbaugh has always been clueless, he lost the team early and often when he arrived Baltimore. His only saving grace being that Ray Lewis never joined any of those mutinies, and was always there to get everyone back in line. Harbaugh was told on NFL network by former Ravens coaches that he hasn't coached yet till he tries to coach a team without Lewis...look at this team now. Not so much like the Ravens of old, but a headless chicken without direction. There's no form of leadership, they're are outcoached in every game, they don't surprise anyone with anything they're doing and cannot adjust to what their opponents are doing to save their lives. Players lack discipline, there's no cohesion, and sometimes they look downright confused by what the opponent is doing. Let's get real, this season is lost, and so will the next one be if we don't end the era of cluelessness and incompetence in Baltimore. It is time to change direction, and a smart front office would start preparing for that move right now, even as Harbaugh oversees his final season.

The best teams usually have owners who let their football people run the team. In our case it may take intervention from our owner to right the ship.

We are stuck with Joe so I see them getting O Linemen in the draft because Joe's contract and bad playing is making them go back to the drawing board! Sincerely The Troll Lol

[purpledown]

i dont think Harbs can pull a rabbit out of the hat this year. They will lose to the Landry Jones led Steelers, 2 or 3 wins after the bye. Its time to change the whole outlook of this team, they need fresh blood. If it means rebuilding so be it.

[Hardhitters]

The players have to play for their selves now, paying for the coaches is out the window. Belichick could revive this same exact group and have them looking like studs because he would bring the best out of each player.

[sami]

looks like the rats are jumping ship

[DENNYK]

They better be ready. The real test for this team is just ahead and they need to be on track with their game and their focus. Until we see it on the field, you have to wonder about the ability of this team to win convincingly and consistently. They may be close in the end as far as the score goes, but a loss is still a loss any way you frame it.

You nailed it. Every point is dead on target. The time has come to make the changes that we all know needs to turn this team around.

[DENNYK]

Hard to see anyone of these guys playing like a RAVEN. Except Tucker and Koch. They are still getting it done. It looks like Flacco is actually lost out there and is clueless at times.

[Crusader]

I got the excuse already when they lose. "The players are not 100% and their still a little rusty." Please prove me wrong.

[Rav'n Maniac]

Great idea, Let's start "dumping some of the high paid, under performing, vets." And after we dump them and still have to pay them because they have this thing called a contract, we will become a better team. Smart move.

[The Greek]

i hope ben plays because i do not want an asterisk when we pull out the win. going to be tough because these games always are. i just want to see improvements all around. go skins this sunday

Harbaugh is the reason this team continues to fail. We'd be 4-2 if he wasn't so stupid on 4th downs in the red zone.

They should always be drafting linemen high in the draft. The game is won or lost in the line of scrimmage. Invest properly and the rest of the players can do their jobs. But the Ravens don't get it.

[stampedehero]

I think it is interesting that Mink uses the veteran injuries as the channel for the losses. I think the field execution of players no matter if they are vets or rookies is the flaw. These are coaching problems and just awful play coupled with bad luck. For example, many times Wallace almost had it, Webb was flat footed against the Giants, Jusczyk missing the block in the red zone against the Jets, we failed on third/fourth down conversions and many players contributed to the penalty club. This is a situation where John has to search and find the best way to create a four game WIN streak. The tough schedule is ahead.

The guys who are accountants and lawyers will help decide if the coaching staff is acceptable. We can only criticize but the future decisions and their results are in Biscotti's hands.

“Who am I? What team do I play for?” Suggs asked. “I come from an era where this is just a bump in the road. This may be season-ending for somebody else, but it’s not season-ending for a Raven.”

and this is why he's my favorite Ravens!! Get it Sizzle!!

[ibleedpurpleandblack]

Doom will end up on IR/Designated to Return now that Elam was removed from that designation. Elam is on the chopping block, they will not be wasting any more time on him after this opportunity. Hope you make the best of it Elam!

They do get it, they drafted Stanley and Lewis for the left side of the line and they were strong the first few games before they both got hurt. They invested in Yanda with a big contract as well. You get Stanley, Lewis, Z, Yanda and a RT then our line would be solid.

[griffrb]

I love Sizzle but I'm not sure getting all these players back will really change things. We were barely winning with the team at full strength. I think we're too reliant on players who are simply too old.
