Massive game for wildcard seeding after that horrible loss to the Steelers.

Another Harbowl on MNF.

Which means it’s yet another game that I won’t be able to watch at a normal time on my tv.

Think it’s only the raiders and broncos games so far this year that have been on at a normal time and not blacked out on gamepass.

This game could determine who gets the 5th seed and the honour of playing a first round playoff game against the Texans…
 
We got this one

Of course we do, we beat everyone in the league except Pittsburgh or KC. I fully expect our offense to rebound, Lamar is going to look like a MVP again, Henry is going to be King again and we'll pretend today didn't happen.
 
Fuck this game. I don’t care what we do anymore. This is all a series of distractions leading to inevitable disappointment. This team is not serious and will not be any time soon. We are not contenders. We are an embarrassment.
 
Another week where we're getting a team that is starting to come together after some early struggles. There aren't a lot of great pieces on that team, but a lot of good.

Its annoying. Because the future is and has been so obvious. And we know what we're gonna have to deal with in the media going forward. And the prospects of future years don't look as good as they've been the last few. I think the best thing that can happen is a coaching regime change after this year.
 
Roquan has a hammy, ruled out today rather quickly.
Kyle played the last 2 Steelers drives literally on one leg.
Travis Jones got back in but he is clearly not quite right.

Not really great outlook considering we finally looked pretty good on D overall.

Won’t happen and we all know it. Winning a Super Bowl is what fans and players want, I don’t think anybody else gives a shit about it, as long as they compete every year and keep a buzz around town. It would take a disaster season followed by another one, for Harbaugh to be fired. And we are too talented for that.

Mentally weak team begins with the head coach and we have been mentally weak every season since 2012.

We can beat the chargers, hell we might win every game aside from the next Steelers matchup. Won’t move any needles for me. Can’t wait to see us bounced in the first 2 rounds and then draft late and then use all our day 3 picks we’ve hoarded to select fullbacks and long snappers and safeties that never play. Competition is key, iron sharpens iron, hearts of lions and all that.

Who do you blame this on, though? Clearly you're concerned about our ability to beat boogeymen, but who? Steelers & Chiefs specifically or someone else? I mean, we beat some good teams this year. We barely lost to PIT. We did get rolled by LV & CLE (both suck). I'm trying to see what you're thinking. I think we look as good as most contending teams. Don't get me wrong, we did not have a good game but I can't blame it entirely on Lamar. Jackson had issues today, but he wasn't terrible. He could've won the game. I think our WRs were getting mugged and expected flags but the refs let them play and I think that let the Steelers CBs get in their heads. Zay Flowers dropped a ball he makes every time. Derrick Henry fumbled. Justice Hill was intercepted in the freakiest way. These are freak things that led to our loss. Justin Tucker missing 2 field goals within 50 yards.

We also went pound for pound against KC and barely lost there, too. We can beat the Steelers & Chiefs. It is just a matter of the Ravens not shrinking in games. That is on the players and to an extent Harbaugh, but John can't make them rise up in the game, catch balls, not fumble, etc. I'm not absolving Harbaugh, I'd prefer a new coach if we can get an upgrade. I just don't agree we can't win a Super Bowl this year. We can

I saw Kyle hopping on one foot near the end of the game but then I swear I saw him messing with his shoe after the play. I think he’s ok.

We will know soon enough. John is a lame duck in 2025.

I blame it on the whole team. I just don’t know how we can do this every time we play the Steelers, no matter who is calling plays, no matter who is taking snaps, we make hideous mistakes over and over and over, across the whole team, every single time we play them.

You said it yourself, shrinking in big games. It happens consistently. Why is our team so mentally weak and unprepared in these games? It’s happened since Flacco era.

Cheer up. The day 3 safety will probably get some burn...

Giving up on the division? We will definitely split with those guys and I'm guessing the Bengals get them once also. This division will go down to the wire.
