If you want Harbaugh gone then this is what needs to happen

It’s obvious most of the people who think he’s good aren’t watching those 1pm games

hopefully the division is still winnable and our week 18 rematch against the Steelers gets flexed too

I’m aware. We’ve been in the same boat for over a decade now saying we’d be willing to sit through a couple 2-3 win seasons to get a decent head coach in here and I think we were the first two to be maddest about Flacco’s 2015 ACL tear specifically because we knew it would be used as an excuse to give Harbaugh another year or two or three. It’s just not fun when your reaction to your out of market team being flexed to prime time is “Damn, now I may feel compelled to watch this team”. The fact that he survived 2013-17 has me expecting him to survive anything.

apparently his suspension is because of the DUI he caught in the offseason

He didn’t fail any test recently

@Blessings @STAN JONES @Mantis Toboggan M.D. @BmoreGorilla Is DanieL FaaLeLe the Ravens version of Cesar Ruiz Ruin? @smitty22

They even play the same position.

Dude is terrible. He wasn’t good last year either but he somehow got worse

Yep, just like Ruin with the Saints @smitty22

More offensive line lowlights

 

[Doctor Doom]

This shyt is comical

If you watch the all22 you can literally find 20+ plays like this every game

There’s so many plays where Faalele and Vorhees literally blocks no one…or even worse then end up blocking/tackling their own teammate

Cant win when you have multiple olinemen this bad

dont care what anyone including PFF says,Brady never played behind a line this bad

People forgot that the game of football starts and ends in the trenches

A good line hides so many faults for the skill positions, its crazy.

Extend him NOW

I fell for the hype smh

More offensive line lowlights

I’ve been saying all year that there’s no reason to think Henry has lost anything because every time they run the ball, the lane/hole collapses before he even reaches the line of scrimmage. It feels like half the time he gets the ball there’s a defender on top of him before he can get out of the backfield. A decent set of guards & he’d probably be averaging an entire extra yard per carry.


It reminds me of watching Ray Rice in 2013 when 25% of the entire rushing attempts by the team saw the ball carrier get hit behind the line of scrimmage and 40% of the team’s runs went for 2 yards or less and nobody outside of this fanbase seemed to notice that the problem was the offensive line. It’s like watching someone play the game on all madden where the game just cheats from the start and it decides you aren’t winning no matter what you do.

My friends looked at my dad like he was nuts when he picked Seattle to beat Denver in Super Bowl 48, his reasoning was that Denver had a patchwork offensive line. Right out the gate from the first play from scrimmage he was validated. Kansas City had a beat up offensive line going into Super Bowl 55 vs Tampa. Mahomes got pressured on 27 of his 52 dropbacks while Brady got pressured 4 times all game. The giants sacked Brady 5 times and hit him a ton more with mostly a 4 man rush in Super Bowl 42. Philadelphia beat the stuffing out of Mahomes last year in the Super Bowl without blitzing even once. Got home early and often while sending just 3-4 guys every time. This game will always be won in the trenches at the line of scrimmage. The 2006 jets draft class is a good example of good team building. Their first round picks were a center & left tackle. Both hit and they were mostly set on the line for a decade. It’s even more critical if you don’t spend money at the skill positions like the ravens do.

DBrickashaw and Mangold

Add in them stumbling into a pro bowler at right guard in Brandon Moore and then spending big to sign Alan Faneca & Damien Woody & all of a sudden they’re leading the league in rushing & reaching conference title games with a 1st & 2nd year quarterback who wasn’t really that good. Look at what losing Steve Hutchinson did to the Seahawks running game after 2005 or what happened to the ravens running game after losing Matt Birk and Bryant McKinnie after 2012 to see this in reverse.
