This is why :beli: would’ve been a perfect hire after they lost McDonald last winter. His teams in New England were always built on playing sound football and never beating themselves first and foremost. I can’t think of many examples at all of them doing it in a 20 year run besides Super Bowl 42.


-Penalties
-Poor clock management
-Poor on challenges
-Special Teams issues (idiot returning vs Browns, recovering onside kicks, missed field goals)
-Repeatedly making the same mistakes
-Players on DEF/OFF confused pre-snap(White admitted during the press conference how complicated our defense is…Orr needs to simple it)
-OFF predictable playcalls
-Is Tucker un-coachable due to his GOAT reputation????


All of it coaching
I swear it’s a lot of manics that follows this team people are really trying to put this lost on Lamar

The levels of dishonesty and agenda pushing when people dump on Lamar is very telling. It’s nba discourse levels of bad and people seem to forget that before Lamar the ravens missed the playoffs in 2013 by getting blown out back to back weeks, needed a fistful of tiebreakers to make it in 2014 and then blew it badly in the playoffs, were terrible in 2015, were bad in 2016 and missed the playoffs because they couldn’t execute vs good teams or protect a lead, were bad in 2017 and blew it at home vs a non playoff team in week 17 to miss the playoffs, and were on track to miss the playoffs in 2018 until Lamar saved the season. This team would be in the gutter without him and every week he’s asked to be flawless because they don’t stand a chance unless he is, which is an entirely unreasonable standard to hold and quarterback to, let alone one with such an inept coaching staff.

Still between yall and Buffalo for who wins it all IMO. I’m mainly surprised at all the special teams issues based on who your HC is, and I’m also concerned about all the goddamn penalties. If yall aren’t the most penalized team in the league, you’ve gotta be up there. I just don’t understand where this lack of discipline is coming from. Has it always been there but the defense has historically been good enough that it doesn’t matter?

We been saying Lamar is doing the most with the least and has to overcome bad coaching, shytty refs, teammates under-performing in high-leverage moments

Box scores and highlights do not showcase the ineptitude of the Ravens...Casuals would continuously shyt on Lamar without actually watching the game

Football is probably the single worst sport when it comes to thinking you can know the game just by looking at the box score. If you watch this team week in and week out you’ll see a level of incompetence from the head coach on down that’s hard to wrap the mind around. Only one of my friends is a ravens fan. The rest root for shytty teams who are just bad year round and tell me I’m nuts to want Harbaugh gone (I’ve been calling for his job since the Sunday night game vs Pittsburgh in 2010 and the Monday nighter vs Houston the following week). Now that Lamar is here those same friends see more of the ravens and have come around to how badly coached this team is to the point some of them have apologized to me for thinking I was being unreasonable :russ:

I got the Ravens going 3-3 the remainder of the season. I see Jim and the Chargers beating John Monday in his 1st win over his brother. Philly seems like they've righted the ship and I don't think they have an answer for their offense. I see their 3rd win/loss being either Pitt again or Houston. They should beat the Giants and Browns FFS.

That was me lol....Always rooted for the Giants and Ravens
The Geno Smith racist situation and trading OBJ completely pissed me off with the Giants.

Ravens should bring on an in-game manager/strategist to help Harbaugh.
I remember players constantly getting misdiagnosed and injured under Harbaugh due to shytty strength and conditioning program

2016 to 2022....one of the most injury-prone teams

2021 #2nd worst with (20 players) at the end of the year. Overall they were the 7th worst with a total of (52 players) throughout the year.

2020 #7th worst with (13 players) at the end of the year. Overall they were the 2nd worst with a total of (45 players) throughout the year.

2019 #20th worst with (11 players) at the end of the year. Overall they were the 8th worst with a total of (21 players) throughout the year.



Duke didn't get fired till February 2023.....we might never see peak Bateman because of Steve

What a terrible playcall. That's 100% on coaching

I noticed another major issue with this staff. Derrick Henry wasn’t even on the field for the 2 point conversion attempt. How stupid are these coaches that they don’t even have him on the field in that situation?




The fact we ran the same play as before the timeout was called just to other side of the field is pure idiocy. :snoop:

They should've called a time out
Typical Harbaugh in big moments either being out of timeouts or not using the ones he has. The two of them clearly had no idea what their assignments were when they lined up and didn’t even seem sure of where to lineup on top of not having your biggest offensive threat on the field. Coaching malpractice.

:snoop: at that Raven segment on first things first - Nick Wright = the world biggest hater :snoop:
This is the shyt that amazes me about how these shows cover Lamar. That guy spends his time covering basketball debunking obvious lies and dishonest spin about LeBron, but then will go and engage in just as dishonest talk about how it’s Lamar’s fault if the line can’t block and commits penalties all game, if the backs and receivers fumble deep in their own territory, if the receivers drop passes in big moments, and when the coaches cook up a horrible game plan. He’s the only football player I’ve ever seen who is covered this way.
