Ditto! Nothing to be ashamed of. It was a great season. Get a better OC, some more weapons/better interior linemen for Lamar, a new pass rusher and I think we can go far next year.

I was calling for Flacco to come in but it really may not have made a difference. It’s hard to determine what’s going on watching tv but Lamar clearly never wanted to let go of the ball until the end hard to tell if he had nowhere to go or was panicked. I was guessing panicked so I was looking for a change but the fact is Flacco could have found them in the same situation

Still would have made the change and started airing it out with Joe.

To all of the teams in our division who didn't make the playoffs and all of the teams on yesterday who got bounced out of the playoffs in one and done fashion.....MOVE OVER and MAKE ROOM for the RAVENS!

Naw! I got home when we were down 6-0. There was PLENTY of time for the Ravens to ball out and take control of that game. PLENTY OF TIME!

I hate how much the hot take artists are gonna feel vindicated by this - their takes were always wrong and just because Lamar didn’t execute today doesn’t mean their bad analysis is right
That’s not to say there aren’t legitimate criticisms to make of Lamar but the ones that have been typically parroted are gonna be all we hear for 8 months now and I’m already sick of it

One loss peddles the media narrative. It's gonna be a long offseason with all the Twitter trolls won't it lol.
The few times the Ravens will be brought up in the offseason by the media, everyone is gonna point to this loss.

Lamar looked and played poorly the majority of the game so yeah, they will feel vindicated.

Conservative coaching. No adjustments until the last 5 mins.
Our D and ST had shifted momentum back our way, we had a chance to go 7-12 down and then 14-12 up, but ended up 3-12 down with 8 mins left in the 3rd and Chargers a good chance to go up 20-3 which they did, and we had just one Qtr to reel that back in with the same offense that had sputtered for the first three Qtrs.
Harbaugh/Mornhinweg should've had a pulse on the game to realize that down 12-0 they had to do change things up and needed a TD. But even especially so on the drive following the blocked punt that resulted in a missed FG. Really needed to make that 12-10 and it would've been a HUGE shift in our favor...so it needed some aggressive play-calling, which they failed to do, just the usual three runs and go for a FG.
I was wanting Flacco back in simply because the passing game was dead, and you cant reel in a 3 score game running the ball, especially not today given the Chargers had figured out how to stop it -- shoot the gaps and ignore the motions and misdirections, attack the "mesh point". Which is how you slow down the Option.
But even if Flacco was not to be put in, JH/MM had to throw caution to the wind earlier (going 4 wide sets and throwing) than the last 5 mins of the 4th Qtr.
As Tony Romo was right to say....it's the playoffs and you have to leave no bullets in your gun, gotta go all out, try everything, do anything, to win. And....how it's not about one person, but the team, doing the right thing by the team and entire club of staff.
I'm not calling for people to be fired etc. Just I really dislike conservative coaching. Especially playoffs. Harbaugh ought to learn something from this. Never too old to learn.
Jackson obviously had stage fright early, and it showed with the errant passes, not seeing the open TEs across the middle, that INT a good example of that where he went to the more congested quick slant route (moore) which needed to be perfect otherwise that's exactly what would happen. He held on the ball too long in his reads, and too, MM wasn't adjusting to Bradley's defensive plan by calling more quick release pass plays.
As others have said.....a new OC who can develop Jackson better, some OL signings, and Jackson practicing like crazy to improve his pocket awareness and ability to RELY on throwing the ball.....course of action over the off-season.

Naw! I got home right when the Chargers kicked their 2nd FG. Other than that, I was sitting right here on the couch, in my Ravens gear...even my dog had on his Ravens jersey and they blew our 1st home field playoff game in a few seasons. Same old Ravens?

See? Guilty.
2 FGs = 6pts
If you had your ass on the couch from the kickoff, we win in OT!
