Major changes are needed on coaching staff and front office and players no way to sugar coat it like harbaugh just tried to do AGAIN Coach look in the Mirror

[bluehen]

Perhaps the leadership is in need of a change. Too many things to comment on that need to be fixed, not sure where to start, but I will throw our 2: pass defense is way to soft, and our pass protection is poor. Ah what the Hell, one more Joe and Derick Mason used to live by the come back routes, now we don't even run them.

[casprintman]

Just another 500 team when all is said and done. With our payroll and talent level is totally unacceptable!

[Purple Dawg 96]

Joe gotta go! Can't blame Ozzie and Co. and Harbs for this season Joe did not play up to what was expected of him because he had the pieces on Offense period point blank! QB #1 pick and do the regular draft process! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! SMH

[law215]

Same "the guys fought hard" rhetoric. 64 plays and only 15 runs. Absolutely pathetic coaching job. In a meaningless game you drop back your QB 49 times, passing on the 2 yard line. Pathetic. Mosley carted off.

Harbs blows a lot of hot air and false hope. Is there any doubt if they beat the Steelers, then Bengals would have knock them out of the playoffs.

[The Negotiator]

The Ravens imop need to cut contracts that can save cap. If it's a player like Suggs or Dumervil then so be it. Ozzie needs to get playmakers, whether draft or free agency. We have a good nucleus but we need Playmakers. The draft we missed out on Dez really set us back as we traded back to get picks. Problem with that is no playmakers. Ozzie please do not draft any wideouts as it's clear you can't. Ozzie just draft line man on both sides of the ball. Brandon Williams not worth 60 plus million. We need Playmakers, Steve ball is in your hands make the change!

[Flamengo1265]

Well the offense played this like a pre-season game, except I would have liked to have seen Reynolds, Campanaro and Moore play more to see if they could add anything. All three levels of the defense played like an 8-8 defense....but hey, we're getting a slightly higher draft position. We need more o-line help, a pass rusher/OLB and another good d-back.

[Flamengo1265]

Is it a sign of a weak roster when you're best player is a kicker?

I would say so.

[dirtybird66]

pitta and smith your players of the game?your punter and kicker yet again your pro bowl player's? an offense that reflects it's qb.,a laid back surfer dude/ a dictator coach that players have shown by penalties the last 5 year's they don't want to play for? please don't keep a coach and qb just to say you have stabilty.i'd rather lose with a qb that shows more emotion than a house plant and a coach like marvin lewis that players love to play for and not play scared,we saw that with gary williams at maryland.

and a OC/DC Head coach A receiver a safety or two at least 2 CB's and some D lineman who can get off blocks and make a tackle Williams should be ashamed of himself he got manhandled as did most of the team

[law215]

Once Flacco got paid and the front office could not afford to deal Harbs a loaded hand, he has done nothing but throw coordinators and players under the bus.

His history of winning was when he inherited

pro bowlers and HOFs on defense
had a solid offense line
had productive vets and free agents like Heap, Mason, Maghee
and a better QB than Billick ever had
has a front office constantly provides him with former head coaches on his staff since they know he can't do it on his own

Now that he has to COACH and develop, he can't win

[dirtybird66]

so stupid to even take a chance with a career ending injury to a good player in a meaningless game.

Harbaugh is not smart enough to plat younger players to see what we have and give them GAME experience

You are correct 100%

Best loss of the season. We moved up a few spots for the draft. Our needs are faster cover guys, better pass rushers, better offensive lineman who can block consistently, and receivers who can actually get open and catch the ball. Grab a few high dollar young players in free agency, cut some older and slower expensive players, and get more speed in the draft. Most importantly please get some creative coaches on offense. I am sick of watching 3rd down and 8 and we throw a 5 yard pass and punt. I am sick of watching our defense give a 6 yard cushion for easy completions. I am still a fan but come on man!!!! Bring Torrey Smith back, at least he could get open and catch the football and you can probably work out a good deal for him. Get the best offensive line players out there, pass protection and run blocking can make any offense look good even ours. See you all in the summer.

[ravens4life86]

That was a sickening performance. Change is coming, Marty peace out and John will have his coming to Jesus meeting.

Only good thing is now they will pick in the 15-16 range at 8-8.

Need more playmakers everywhere..
But especially on Defense at Pass Rush,CB, S, OG/T if they lose Wagner. NT/DT losing Williams, WR, RB

Rnd 1 I would love Elite Pass Rusher like Barnett,Williams,Harris, etc
Rnd 2 CB/S
Rnd 3 Another Pass Rusher Deatrick Wise, Landry, Haynes etc
Rnd 4 NT/DT
Rnd 5 OG/T

Agree coaching is poor and John tries to sugar coat everything, try it right between the eyes for once, coach. Also Joe should take a pay cut and for once bring in a OC that is a keeper, this revolving door stuff is not going to cut it!

The problem with counting on draft spot is the Ravens have not drafted playmakers in the first 2 rounds in a long time. Offensive lineman are safe bets in the first round. Finding the elite pass rushers, WR, CB, and safties are what improves your team. It's also what OZ has not done well as of late.

Are you kidding me harbaugh and oz each share the blame first oz he picks the players our back ups stink a lot of the starters would be back ups some where else harbaughs the head coach call better plays for Christ sake its not that hard flacco coming off of knee surgery was playing scared the 1st 10 weeks weeks we have 2 good RBs that were not used properly all year including today they thew the ball again inside the 10 yard line with a 1st down did not learn from the philly game its STUPID coaching RUN theDamn Ball Idiots our Quarterbacks name s joe flacco not Joe montana

It all starts with the Head coach and GM that's harbaugh and ozzie if someone is wondering

He's gone. We're resigning Wagner over him. It was a question until the Eagles game. He's a great guy, just not worth as much as a good RT.

And stop trying to move down for draft picks has not worked out very well for us

[Some Dumb Fan]

I expected this which is why I wasn't upset after the lose to Pitt!
If we really want to get back to winning.

Fire Ozzie and promote Eric Decosta! I'm tired of trading back for picks and bad deals!
Fire Harbs! The coaches lost us at least 4 games! I'd love to see Tom Coughlin!
Pull #5 in the office and ask him does he know what are team colors are!
Cut Wright, Webb, and Elam!
Ask Suggs and Doom for pay cuts. If not, thank you for your service! Take the cap hit! We have to get younger!
Find a way to keep our best player on defense BWILL

Yea, we just need a couple young play makers on each side of the ball. Torrey Smith can kick rocks, he isn't really that good. Why would you want bring back an average receiver, OBJ, Green, Bryant, we really need guys like them (Play Makers). We also need another corner that can play opposite
to Jimmy Smith.......................And the funny thing about Smith is that he took only 3 million dollars more (guaranteed money) to play for San Fran than Baltimore, It costs at least a million dollars more to live in San Francisco, Smith can kick rocks.

[btfan2]

I wonder if Harbaugh is actually from this planet. Worse loss of the season, really? Where have you been? We played poorly games we lost and just as poorly games we won. This is an average team that will remain second rate as long as Harbaugh is here.

This game had no meaning and who can blame guys for not wanting to get hurt for NOTHING! Or be able to get fired up for NOTHING. Even though it was oblivious there was no real heart out there it still wasn't the worst game by a long shot.

Now another season of MR Mediocrity, Priceless!

[dirtybird66]

1 thing i never hear antone say,is the steelers alway's get dealt a better schedule,the tough games they play at home,we go on the road,didn't we have a worse record then them?been like this for years.
