When did I say Joe isn't at fault. I swear the Flacco haters are as bad as the Flacco apologists. Fact is, Joe was pretty damn good in the Kubiak system, like it or not.

Yeah, you mean when Kubiak, known for his run game was the OC?  That run game carried Flacco that year too.  He is used to being carried.  You don't need an infant in the qb position in NFL football.

I really want to see someone gone come tomorrow

[gjbflaraven]

maybe we should go with a 4 te lineup

[kennethyamini1989]

Come to grips folks. Flacco is Mediocre at best, and relies on an elite D and run game. Once Ray Rice left, this team went with him rather folks want to admit it or not. 

John. H is a decent HC but nothing spectacular. He rode what was already built. Once the leadership left in 2012 the team lost a true identity and true leader. 

Revamp this entire team starting from the HC...and restructure that Flacco deal, hes getting paid elite QB money and performing at an average to below average level.

Flacco's big thing is get rid of the football no matter the consequences.  Let's face it he was a small time football player on a small time football team in Delaware.  Couldn't even make it when he was on the Pitt team and transferred to little known school to get to be the starter.  His lackluster performance was well known before the NFL ever heard of him.  He had a great cast of characters when he came on board in Baltimore and they carried him a lot.  But most are all gone now.  What is left is what we are witness to for several years now.  You want mediocrity week after week, just keep this crew next season.

Let's sign Tyler Palko oh wait he is out of the league guess he wasn't better than Joe also probably why Wanstadt is on Fox college football instead of a real network

Here's an unpopular thought. Trade for Romo as our back up QB with a promise that he'll be allowed to win the QB job if he plays better than Flacco. He's going to light a fire under Flacco to perform and play like he's capable of. Something or someone needs to light a fire under Flacco to get him going and not make bone headed mistakes.

We're not gonna sit a big contract QB in favor of a old and injury prone one. People need to accept that Joe is here for 3 more years. Build the damn team.

Joe Cold

Pees. I hope they throw peas at him on his way out too.

[darklight1216]

Is this Pitta's last game or something? He's being fed the ball like he'll never play again.

[reed20]

Zuttah seriously needs to go

[Grapple Raven]

I bet this Harbs post game presser will be short and snippy!!! lol  Because no need to expect answers when he hasn't had any all season, lol.  He will probably be grilled by reporters and Harbs will get snippy and the presser will be cut off. I bet ya! lol

Why do we even have RBs is we refuse to use them in short yardage situations

That scheme was dependent on the zine stretch, and new rules have nade that scheme obsolete, with low blocking outlawed

[balfan23]

Joe can't seem to get the ball to a wideout to save his life. TE and check down is all we have.

LMAO at the stuff written in this thread. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the loss in the last seconds last week robbed this team of real incentive.  "Look what's happening, wouldn't have mattered if we beat Pittsburgh" and "why is this this surprising, same as all year".  Just ignorant and mindless. 

If only Joe had incentive.

Scary stat if it's true, but the 3rd quarter wasn't that great for Pitt was it?

I guess the two ints took away a couple of punts...

[gjbflaraven]

the oline have know idea who to block sometimes they just watch people run by them

[reed20]

Flacco is two yards from Vinnys record. Just pull him from the game afterwards please

19th ranked D in 2012 with Ray with one arm Suggs with one arm and one leg Reed with 2 bad knees Pollard with a bunch of broken ribs and no Ngata in the 2nd half yeah D carried him why we almost lost the Super Bowl because the D and Pees worthless play calling. But let's not let fact get in the way of bashing Joe.

I hope not. I hate it when head coaches act as if the reporters don't have the right to ask tough, pointed questions. All I have to do is be rude and they'll stop asking. To me, it is not the reporters tough questions that he needs to worry about anyway. It is the ones that need to come from ownership.

To be fair, they get driven back a lot on short yardage situations.
