I’m getting a bad feeling that they’re gonna give him the injury excuse all over again like in 2015

I don’t see that happeningI’m getting a bad feeling that they’re gonna give him the injury excuse all over again like in 2015
team looked ass and unprepared before the injuries and unlike years past,the media is finally starting to see that hes a bad coach and hes getting called out alot
plus the last 2 games it looked like the team quit on him
I think hes done if we dont atleast make it to tye superbowl
Hes definitely gone if we miss the playoffs

I hope so because they looked as disorganized and poorly prepared as ever before joe got hurt ten years ago too.
This defense would ruin future job prospects for him. Smart move to say no.He'd rather be unemployed than play on the Ravens defense.

He wasn't that bad with my Cowboys last season. I'd rather have him than the majority of the
we have right now.

Point is that being on this defense will make people think he’s worse than he is.He wasn't that bad with my Cowboys last season. I'd rather have him than the majority of the
Yo, this shyt is crazy! Did they have a secret team meeting or something? How everybody injured?!
I don't know if you all know this, but hamstring, back, and head (headaches, migraines) issues are hard to prove. Soft tissue injuries are very hard to prove and can be easily faked. I don't think Lamar is faking, but all of them dudes hamstrings ain't hurt, bruh
This might be their way of passively aggressively giving up on Harbaugh and Orr. If that's the case, I feel bad for the rookies to be starting their career off in such a toxic environment, but hopefully the new or interim coach breaths new life into them.

Players are dealing with injuries because they have to overcompensate for shyt coaching. Having to go way above and beyond the scheme since they're poorly positioned smh. You're more likely to get hurt when you and your teammates are overthinking, processing, and are slower to react. We have guards pass rushing our QB, guards cross blocking their own tackle, centers bumping into their QB causing a fumble, etc.
Harbaugh is safe. I watch/listen to most of the national and some local media while I work from home. Besides Chris Canty, Stephen A Smith, and Acho.....no one has called for Harbaugh's job, brought up the ineptitude of the defense, Zack Orr, and Monken. Marcus Spears bytched about Henry's lack of carries but failed to mention the mess of the offensive line.
It's either lazy reporting or the First Take/NBA Twitter slop of only wanting to put all the blame on Lamar Jackson.
When the Ravens beat playoff teams in the regular season....it's the SB-contending team that should steamroll everyone
When the 1-2 Ravens beat a 3-0 Bills team...it's not a big game
...it's only a big game when we lose
Players are being accused of faking injuries
Players having to deal with shytty playcalling, in-game strategy by coaches
Players are getting shytted on constantly
After a little more thought on the coaching situation. It seems like if Harbaugh can't get it fixed by the end of the year, I think ownership is going with Joe Brady.

This is what gets me the most. Somehow Lamar catches 100% of the blame for every loss and no credit for any win no matter what happens. It seems like Nick wright and bills fans online have successfully brought nba stan war style discourse to nfl talk and one byproduct is a serious lack of focus on a coach who before Lamar came to town came 1-2 tiebreakers away from missing the playoffs in 5 straight seasons.
It's disgusting that people have an inability to have a fact-based and nuanced discussion when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens for whatever reason.
Similar to politics, when it comes to Fox News, social media algorithms validate inaccurate reports, misrepresenting the facts.
People are less media savvy, not very critical thinkers, and dumb. Parroting old talking points, lies, and swayed by other idiots with a major platform.
We are in the age of anti-intellectualism.

It’s genuinely a sign of a society in total collapse. I called this shyt out to friends years ago when “the decision” had everyone acting like this. Now that it’s bled into a sport where everyone has always talked in logical X’s and O’s terms and people say “X quarterback beat Y quarterback so he’s clearly the better guy” and ignoring that it’s a 53 person roster with 22 guys on the field only playing one side as if those quarterbacks even stand on the field at the same time is a huge red flag that people don’t even care about making any sense anymore.
You’d think at least some other quarterback would’ve made everyone stupid, but people are willfully ignorant about the guy who basically single handedly save John Harbaugh of all coaches from being fired, which is really all you need to know about how great he is. That dude was 2-3 tiebreakers in week 17 of the 2014 season away from missing the playoffs 5 years in a row before Lamar got into town. By his 2nd year he put up nearly 5000 yards of offense with 40+ touchdowns to maybe 12 turnovers with Hollywood Brown, Seth Robert’s, and Willie Snead as his receivers and people still tried referring to him as a running back who can’t throw.
FACTS....
No QB is offensive line-proof; they cannot sustain high-quality performances with a shyt offensive line.
-Mahomes in 2020/2021....needed peak Kelce and Hill...still got exposed in the Super Bowl vs Bucs
same in 2024/2025 vs Eagles
-Burrow in 2021/2022...needed Chase, Higgins, and peak Mixon...still got exposed in the Super Bowl vs Rams
....not even gonna mention their defensive units forcing turnovers, giving their QBs extra possessions....
-2024/2025....Lamar had one of the greatest of all-time with a "washed" Henry, often injured receiving core...eventually got exposed + somehow someway Faale even got a Pro-Bowl lol
Personally feel a healthy Lamar is the most offensive-line-proof QB. But the accumulation of his injuries, playcall, and scheme makes it difficult to overcome.

I been saying the same shytYo, this shyt is crazy! Did they have a secret team meeting or something? How everybody injured?!

they all look like they faking injuries to excuse their poor play
only one I saw legitimately get hurt was Wiggins
Im skeptical about the rest
I think some of those guys like Roquon and Marlon got benched and are using injuries to save face
I find it odd that all the guys who are playing terrible(except Faalele) got “injured” at the same time and its all soft tissue injuries
