Yeah Bisciotti is usually a straight shooter but you can tell he was spewing a bunch of bs at the presser

I guarantee you they were gonna sign Colin until Goodell came to town and put a stop to it
shyt is truly disgusting. This is the same team that faithfully stood by Ray after he was charged with a double murder, but taking a silent and nonviolent protest to people being unjustly murdered is too much drama to withstand.

Season gonna be comical. Everything that can go wrong has since Orr retired (and unretired)
Hasn't basically everything gone wrong that could go wrong since the super bowl win? What's worked out well besides Elvis getting on the market, Steve Smith coming here, and Justin Forsett having one good year? All the good coaches are gone or have died (RIP coach Brooks), the medical staff has been harry and Marv from home alone levels of inept since about 2012 or 2013, we've mostly drafted badly since 2009, they have a ton of dead money, pretty sure they have no young pass rushers, are banking on Mike Wallace and Breshad perriman as their receivers, and already are doing patchwork at tight end and offensive line. Then there's this shyt they're pulling with Kaep where the team is basically backing off because of racist fan reaction and orders from goodell. It's like they're running a how to on alienating fans.

When you think about it this is the majority of the NFL. The one thing the Ravens haven't done well in recent years that they used to do well is draft in the first 2 rounds. That Matt Elam and Terrence Brooks draft set this team back more than people realize

Michael Oher and Paul Kruger in 2009, the whole 2010 draft, Torrey and jimmy smith in 2011, the whole 2012 draft, Elam and Arthur brown in 2013 all being the top picks the team has made :scust:

That 2013 draft was WOAT. Thing is they usually hit on the later rounds but than can't afford to keep them when they hit free agency. That's why I was shocked they kept Brandon Williams

2010 was just as bad. They got a good 2010 out of dikkson, a solid 2011 and 2012 from Pitta and that was it (they traded out of the first round and as a result passed on Gronk as well). The 2012 draft they passed on bobby Wagner and alshon Jeffery for Courtney upshaw and Bernard pierce was cut after 2 seasons as well (a draft class is especially bad if just 4 years later, the entire class is gone from the team). Keep in mind that by last season, Pitta, Webb, and I think jimmy smith were the only guys left from the 2009-12 drafts.

Damn ya'll gotta be the most pessimistic fanbase in the L :mjlol:. No beef but just wondering why you guys want Harbaugh out? Not many coaches in the league with his resume, and I still say he plays Belichick the best.

Because hes a terrible coach

Don't let his resume fool you,he walked into a great situation

Remember once upon a time people thought Jeff Fisher was a good coach too in the late 90s when the Titans had a shytload of talent

If you watch our games weekly you'll see that he costs us at least 3 or 4 wins every year because of his dumb coaching philosophies that he refuses to change

Do you know how many times we've gone for it on 4th down,didn't get it,and then lost the game by less than 3

Do you know how many times we've had a 2 score lead in the 4th and then completely stopped trying to score and go in to prevent mode on defense.Then end up losing on the last drive

Dude never learns from his mistakes.Every Raven game is predictable af

He never makes any in game adjustments

And don't get me started on how he runs our players into the ground during the offseason

Notice that the players that don't participate in our offseason program don't get hurt

Its the guys who stay here who are always getting hurt

Plus his depth charts are always trash

He'll have a talented young players rotting on the bench while some bum ass vet who ain't contributing shyt gets all the time

Im just done with him breh

Don't forget how he'll go :cape: for his terrible coaches who implement the same awful strategies that will backfire in the same exact manner each week, sometimes losing in the same situation multiple weeks in a row, but can't wait for the chance to throw the players under the bus in the post game every week. The players nearly mutinied against him once already and he ran both their safeties off the team as a result. They haven't had consistent play at the position since then, and it's been 4 seasons in a row now. Midway through last season they were 18-34 against teams that made the playoffs during the regular season since 2008, which includes 5-0 in 2011 and 3-3 in 2010. Every other year they're below .500 against playoff teams. That means his 2008, 2009, and 2012-16 record against playoff teams is something along the lines of 10-31. I looked this up after the raider loss he caused last season. His record against good teams is abysmal, and it's because of his performance. Also penalties. He likes to preach discipline, but I'm pretty sure they've been top five in penalties/penalty yardage at least 5 times under him.
