Starks kinda looking like a bust, but with such a bad defensive "scheme", don't want to be too quick to pass judgment. Whatever the reasons, this dude has been absolutely awful to this point.

Yeah and I think that one big play wasn't fair--I mean they left him completely alone on that side of the field...not another purple jersey in sight! But yeah not the best early showing (but KHam had his early struggles too so you never know). If he is a miss it'll be a rare one--the Ravens have only missed on 1st rd defense like once or twice--Matt Elam (ack) and Oweh.

Probably. SO Terps. Blew a 20-0 lead at home, with a chance to prove they could actually beat a decent team. They finish 500 at best, as usual.

Now if the Terps don't fail to make a bowl game after starting 4-0, the I mean...they gotta fire Locksley, right? (Especially after what happened last year) Hey maybe we can do the hat trick next year with new coaches in all three major MD sports next year!

Yeah, not good. Same old Terps lol.

Yep! I mean I blame coaching (sound familiar?)...it's not like they don't have the talent--but big moments big teams they just can't show up! Wonder if they gonna go 4-8 now, lolol

Meanwhile are the Terps about to go 5-0?

Nope! Lol They lost this game halfway through the 3Q. Once again they're wilting against a real team...

Best case? 24-25

Worst case? 22-23

Probably something in between. 

Easiest winter forecast ever? Lol

i hope we get a big nor'easter this winter.

If I gambled I'd bet 5 paychecks that that won't happen this winter!

Even on a realistic scale that kind of gradient ain't been present since 2016, lol I feel like if/when "north and west of the city" becomes a thing again...maybe things are turning for the better.

Check this out. It turns out that Humberto and Imelda are the two closest Atlantic hurricanes on record (at 467 miles) other than a highly unreliable two unnamed hurricanes in 1853 (428 miles apart). Next closest of reliable years was Easy and Fox in 1951 (497 miles)!

 

Easy and Fox are the most 1950s names ever, lol

That’s unfortunate. Harbaugh going to blame bad injury luck for this failed season when it’s obvious the problems are much deeper. 

It is. And there is concern it could be career ending given it's a neck issue.

And at the end of the season Harbs might not be there to blame anything, lol

No there isn't, but that's not how the Ravens operate. They have fired a coordinator during the season(like once), but not a HC. Harbaugh isn't going anywhere until after the season, and I doubt it happens then either. IMO Pagano should be promoted to DC like NOW. I really doubt that happens either though because Orr has the excuse of a bunch of key injuries to save his ass. We are stuck with the status quo.

I disagree. The situation is different from before...they fired Billick back in 2007 when things got too bad. To me, things have never gotten THIS bad under Harbaugh--the failures are usually in the playoffs not this early in the season. This feels like it's leading to a "breaking point" moment; I have never seen players so defeated and looking like they've given up on the coaching before. I think this is different.

We can hope, even if it is unrealistic.

Pagano should be the D coordinator, but with so many injuries Orr isnt going to be blamed for the horrible play. 

Only thing that matters now is Lamar. Hopefully its minor and they got him out because he was going to be killed otherwise.

What's stopping them from firing him? See, my theory is...they didn't want him going into this season as a lame duck coach. So they extend him just so that doesn't happen--but there is absolutely nothing stopping them from eating the rest of the contract and firing him.

I cannot remember the last time I turned off a Ravens game this early, smh. Yep...coaching change on the horizon. I think 2026 is gonna be much better than 2025!

Keaton Mitchell inactive again. We need a new coach. Harbaugh has brain rot.

You're still gonna watch, aren't you?

Da fuck is going on with Ricard? A calf injury since training camp and there are never any updates. Figures after he was signed to a big contract. Need the dude back because the starting guards are so mediocre. Which brings me to Ben Cleveland. Forever in the Harbaugh doghouse because he doesn't like the way he practices- yet every time he does get in an actual game he performs well. A natural guard and better than Filet-lea, the human turnstile.

They said a week or two ago that the calf injury was not recovering as fast as they hoped, and the said last week that he was still rehabing. Sounds like just one of those things...

And btw our fanbase lost the right to complain about few injury updates after Lamar 2022, lol On that I agree with Harbs: I ain't telling y'all NOTHIN'

21 hours ago, CAPE said:

Yeah I saw that. Ofc he isn't going to lay the blame completely on the DC, but the fact is ever since the former DC left to become the HC of the Seahawks, this defense has struggled mightily. They do have some key injuries right now but overall this is a talented group that has underachieved since Orr took over. 

Wonder if he's gonna apologize for the "spoiled" comment, lol (I mean I happen to agree with him but it was really, really bad timing)

Seattle is now 3-1 with Mike MacDonald as HC.. they were 10-7 last year with Geno Smith QB. Baltimore may have missed an opportunity when they didn't upgrade him to HC after the defense was #1, 2 years ago. 

Biscotti values continuity...unfortunately to a fault, smh I mean yeah I know we were technically winning and we had reached the AFC championship, but...oy. (I kinda feel like that did nothing but buy Harbs more time. Like getting deep in the playoffs that year actually made that decision more difficult, smh I'm starting to wish we hadn't gotten that deep, lol

My bias is not part of this conversation. I know you’re ready to start one of your 5th grade personal attacks 

Well you mentioned biases good sir--and believe it or not I'm genuinely curious  And have I ever attacked you personally? I mean me ribbing ya a bit on this isn't serious, I promise

The same can be said every year. If this board were around for the 95-96 and 97-98 winters, I’m sure you would have had people saying 95-96 was going to be a warm and snowless winter because of the Niña and on the flip side, I’m sure you would have had the weenies trying to force a cold and snowy winter for the 97-98 super El Niño. There are biases at play every year

And what would you say your bias is?

There are some posters you just know are never going to deliver good news, and if they ever do, it will be measured and delivered with ample caveats. Seem them post....brace first, read later-

And when they post I often wonder whether they're secretly giddy in posting bad news because of being warministas...but we haven't had a promising winter outlook in years, so when the year comes when we finally do, and it does produce, I'm interested to see how they post then, lol

Come on dude. Henry has zero quickness- needs a pretty big seam to get going. Mitchell is smaller with bigtime quickness. Perfect for a an interior OL that struggles to open big holes, and can also run outside, and run pass patterns downfield, which Henry cannot do. Henry is a one dimensional bruiser- who now fumbles in critical moments of the game. That alone always puts a player in the Harbaugh doghouse. We shall see.

Something tells me he will be activated next week. Oh boy...tough times in the flock AND Birdland, lol

For all of Harbaugh's flaws...throughout his tenure he has always had this team ready play in primetime at home. They are always juiced up! But before tonight we had a grand total of two losses in 17 years years. But tonight felt different...they didn't have that edge they usually do in these games. If Harbaugh is losing that ability too...then it's definitely time to retire.

What a joke. Gonna be 1-3. 

Unfortunately good call about the game tonight (and strangely I felt like your feeling about the game might be correct but didn't wanna believe it, lol).

29 minutes ago, CAPE said:

Two straight games where they didn't even sniff 100 yds rushing. Defense gave up 200. Lots of problems on both sides of the ball now.

Harbaugh will fix it all though.

Just move through the season with an eye on 2026--it'll be much easier I promise, lol (now obviously the firing Harbaugh variable is what that is contingent on though)

Lucky for the ravens the division is awful with Burrow out. 9-8 might win it.

Good thing Mitchell was inactive again tho!

Fucking Harbaugh.

Mitchell would not have been effective tonight--not with the way our OL was playing. If king Henry wasn't finding holes why would Mitchell?

Welp, we about to be 1-3 because you KNOW we aren't beating KC last week!
