Ravens were extremely lucky with injuries this year but still did not help them.

they should put brittle jimmy on the pup list every season that way we can have him for the end of the season if we are lucky. glad to see perriman and pitta make it through the whole season.

[MadStorkSociety]

Well that's convenient. Too bad we are not in the playoffs, we could put those healthy bodies to good use.

When you are loaded with mediocre players you likely will go 8-8.

We're definitely not loaded with mediocre players. I sincerely believe we had the most talented roster in the AFC easily, and maybe the whole league. The problem was we are loaded awful coaches all the way around, except Frazier. And Joe played pretty much the worst football of his career this year

I also knew Jimmy going down vs the Pats was our season. My roomates didn't understand why I was so upset. I would've taken a 50-0 loss vs the pats instead of Jimmy going down

I think extremely lucky is a stretch.
-our best wr was out/hampered a few games
-We lost our most important (Jimmy) for multiple games at the most important point in the year
- Sizzle basically had a season ending injury. played through it but wasn't sizzle
-Our left tackle was out multiple games which killed us
- The captain of our defense was out multiple games-mosely
- Gilmore basically didn't play all year.
-Watson season ending injury
- Dixon hurt in preseason and couldn't play til later in the year
- Alex Lewis High ankle sprain
-Doom torn achillies in the offseason
-Kufasi out for the year

And that's just off the top of my head. That does not look extremely lucky to me

For real, I can't remember when Jimmy Smith was healthy for a whole season- I don't think he's ever played all 16 games during the regular season- we need to draft some more durable players like Perriman

Compared to last year and the fact they could still be contending for the playoffs banged up but only missing one player. I don't know what worse not making the playoffs or in the playoffs with a backup QB. Either way the chances of being in this health shape in the future is going to be rare.

[sizzlingdoom]

I just hope we draft a corner in the first. particularly Quincy Wilson, Tabor, or Sidney Jones. I'm really rooting for Wilson

[Rav'n Maniac]

It's great to be able to go into the off season healthy. It would have been even better if we were able to be healthy throughout the season, as we seen.

Most talented roster in the AFC? Mosley, Stanley, Yanda, SSS, Dixon, Williams(maybe) and right about now I'm looking at a lot of roster fillers.

Yes.... were off to a good start with fixing a very underachieving year.
Iron can forge iron- per Harbaugh, however, you are only as strong as your weakest link. These 'links' include players AND coaches. Reality can bite.

[boconnor]

How about the 18 players on IR at yrs end not much lower than 21 last 2 yrs.

[Crusader]

Hester blamed his performance with the Ravens on injuries. So..... Perriman, Smith, and Hester got over on Ozzie. I would consider that slipping.

[stampedehero]

...and they dump their conditioning coach. That should have been done on 015

Yes we are a lot of our players are to old in key positions that being said we have a roster that is better than 8-8 with better coaching

Wow that's pretty darn good. Only thing I can add was Yanda missed a few games and when added to Lewis and Stanley led to the 4 game losing streak in October which was too much to overcome,

[Raven1995]

Well that's convenient. Too bad we are not in the playoffs, we could put those healthy bodies to good use.

No Jimmy Smith, no playoffs, no playoff wins. They never came out and said it but his injury was season ending.

The most talented roster in the AFC easily? We didn't even have the most talented roster in our division. How is that you know that Frazier is doing a good job and all of the other coaches are not????. Just to be clear i am not saying that Frazier is a bad coach. I am saying that there isn't any evidence that would legitimize cherry picking Frazier out of the bunch to say he has done a good job and the rest haven't.

Ravens lose one player and the seasons over. Last time it was Suggs. Remember the goofball they brought in to replace him fom the Eagles. What a Waste products. Another great coach decision there.

Head Coach doesn't make personnel decisions.....
