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.

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

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.

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.

They may have gotten it to a certain extent by making those picks THIS YEAR. But they didn't get it fully. Why would they stick a rookie LT in the starting lineup right out of the gate? They also let go of last year's LT in Osemele. That is 2 bone-headed moves right there (starting a rookie LT and letting go of his mentor) and to give you the trifecta on how bad the judgment was on this move, they are supposed to be protecting a franchise QB coming off a torn MCL/ACL. What the heck is our FO thinking???? Now Stanley is battling injuries because he was forced to acclimate to this game without a proper transition. The Ravens are making mistake after mistake here.

Yeah not getting warm fuzzies just because we are getting some guys back. If you suck, you suck. Coaching is the issue, not injuries. If you play O-line, then you play O-line. Either you know how to block or you don't. You are being paid millions, the least you could do is act like you want to earn that money! It's no wonder the NFL ratings are tanking. Between the protests and sub par play making, people are getting tired of it all. It almost seems as if some of these games are scripted. I called Manning winning the super bowl during pre-season last year. The NFL arranged it so he could retire on top, trying to make him a role model. And don't get me started on ticket prices...sheesh!

They seem to forget that even in the beginning of the year, when basically everyone was still healthy, we still managed to barely beat those teams (Browns). You think it is really gonna make a difference when we still have to face Pitt twice, Cinn twice, Philly, Dallas, & NE?

It won't matter. 6 - 10 at best. The team is bad.

That's your story and you're stuck with it. I hope they make you a big fat liar, don't you?

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.

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.

He only coaches. Blame the team not just the coach. I am sure you should be the coach with your vast knowledge lol.

Seems like everyone here is starting to be critical of the Ravens and they have a right to be, just like me, I've been this way { Critical } for the last few years reading all this bad comments the poster were saying about me, the O=Line starts with the QB, if the QB is so & so then It's not a problem to have a bad O=Line, same with the Defense but the Defense is holding their own, It's just that Flacco can't put 30 points or more a game on the scoreboard, If he could then we be in 1st Place, you just cannot leave everything up to Tucker to help win games, another thing that bothers me, what these so call great players did in college is one thing but the NFL is not college, it's a whole nother level and the players we draft cannot play at his level for any length of time, It's a waste of time and money, I've always loved the smaller colleges, The players are hungrier and willing to prove themselves beyond expectations, the coaches are really not the ones to blame, you only coach the players so much and that's It, If the players have a winning attitude then that's all you can really hope for.....

I am cautiously optimistic that we will turn it around after the by week. I think that the big X factor is Flacco. If he plays well, we will make the playoffs. Not if the Oline plays better, not if the WRs catch the ball or run the right routes etc. Obviously every one needs to play well and be at their best. However the most important thing is that Flacco play well because if he doesn't, regardless of how everyone else plays we're not going to win. The QB touches the ball in almost every offensive play. He has so much latitude to alter plays and call protection. The QB is the glue that holds everything together.
A lot of fans think that we blame Flacco too much, but they don't realize how much influence a QB has on the game especially a veteran QB

If Flacco doesn't improve his game - just buy your ticket for the next draft.

Bad decisions in your mind - KO went where the money was and was a GUARD not a tackle!!!  Ronnie was the #6 overall, the top OL in the draft and we got him!!  He was strong in his first two games not allowing any sacks, to say he got injured because he didn't have time to acclimate is one of the most idiotic statements I've read on here, he's a top athlete just coming out of college with a full off-season and pre-season training.  Injuries happen and it's not because he wasn't acclimated to the NFL, SMH!!!
