We're just not that good. Everyone can laugh all they want but it's no more complicated than this. The players and coaches are mentally weak. The players are undisciplined. The coaches are pretty dumb. Until something changes, playing the Steelers or Cheifs will be a loss before the 1st snap.

Nah I think we're a pretty good team. That was a shit game, but it doesn't suddenly negate all the good that got us to this point. We certainly won't be coasting to the AFCCG this year, going to need to scrap, but were still a good team and a near playoff lock.
 
Offense didn't come to play yesterday and as mentioned the penalties keep hurting us and Tucker had a couple really bad misses. It's another game we beat ourselves. That being said, if we can continue playing defense like we just did I think we can be a force for the remainder of the season including the playoffs.

Yeah whoever mentioned this what did the Ravens vote in favor of?

Yea it was me. They were for two changes that would have an off field ref be able to radio in and i believe they were supporting something similar to allowing NY to rule on certain plays. I’m trying to find the official links I saw earlier…

Also some even think this is retribution for when Harbaugh said in training camp the refs need to call more penalties like they do in real games.

If Tucker keeps missing kicks will he get replaced or is it too late this season ?

Who do you propose we replace him with? There have been a number of kicker injuries this year and teams have been cycling through those guys because they’ve all been shit as well. There are rarely quality Ks just sitting out there waiting to be signed.

The Oline is settled but its simply not as good as others we've had. Its an above average or so line that will have problems against the top fronts. The penalties yesterday killed so many drives, you just cant go 2nd & 20 every other drive v.s. Pitt. I'd say bench Mekari, but I think getting the current 5 into a groove playing together is better than any upgrade we have on the roster. It's a complete overhaul of the OLine and will likely take a full 2 years to be top 10 again but IMO above average is about the best we could expect coming into the season.
 
Yea I’m sorry, Henry not on the field for a 2 pt conversion is blasphemy. Imagine if this is how we lose a playoff game, would be sickening. Why sign him ?

The Ravens are a 'good' team just not when they need to be like yesterday! They shrink and shrivel up when they play the Steelers. Tomlin said it best when he revealed the 'formula' for beating Lamar and the Ravens. He said: "When you play those guys and Mr. Jackson, you have to play HARD, FAST and TOGETHER!" He made that statement twice at his end-game presser. You have to play "HARD, FAST and TOGETHER."

Now let's see if Harbaugh begins to think like that and instills that type of 'dawg-mentality' into this Ravens team going forward!
 
Well, we said if we can only get a mediocre D with this Offense we can make some noise. Too bad the offense decided to suck when the D actually showed up.

Sucks the way we lost especially when I'm surrounded by Steeler coworkers but I honestly believe we will dominate them when we play them at home. What leads me to believe this? Absolutely nothing ....jk.

We turned the ball over 3 times, had 12 penalties, missed two fgs and still came from one play away to tying the game.

I'm more bummed @JoeyFlex5 being broken by this team then the Ravens lost yesterday. Cheer up bud never seened you like this. And oh FIRE Harbaugh!!!
