6 Points, another 1st round loss in the playoffs, at home, on Monday night, when & where Mike T never loses, 22-4 overall, 12-0 at home. Well, at least until last night. Sure, he has an impressive streak of not having a losing season, but this is the 2nd year in a row where his team didn't just lose in the first round, they were destroyed. This year, against a team who kept dropping the snap on offense and only put up 17 pts, their defense scored 13 pts. Is Roger now going to sail off into the sunset with his supposed wife? Is Tomlin done? Yes, solid regular season record, but he is now 8-13 in the playoffs. He has now tied Marvin Lewis for most consecutive playoff loses, with 7. 8 division titles, 3 AFC championship games, 2 Super Bowls, 1 win. But since Big Ben retired, nadda, zip, zilch, not even a decent quarterback.

Again? Seems Jerry was right.

Parsons, no tackles, no sacks, no pressures in the playoff game. AJ Brown, more drops than catches, big drops. Both players paid lots of money and their teams are out of the playoffs, carry on

In case you couldn't watch the game last night, watch the Indiana wide out, Sarratt, talked about him earlier in the thread. He is not a speed demon, he is what this team needs, a possession receiver who is tough, physical and has great hands. The Ravens can get him in the 2nd, maybe even the 3rd. They don't have a guy like this, though they use Likely for this, if they resign him. Think of Puka, very similar skill set https://youtu.be/Ll10FXn5Jjg?si=ItJPEvPDk-PcmUI8

Get whatcha can when ya can

Swart and McDaniel would be a great combo, Nestor the pester would be over joyed, he and Jim are buddies. Flores is intriguing, strong ties to Bill B, must have learned a lot from him. Got a raw deal in Miami, but he might have also not been ready to be hc at the time. He and Swartz game planning defense ought to scare the crap out of the league. I think that would be a great staff

Like the quarterback that sets a franchise up for 5+ years of success or turmoil for 5 years. A new head coach, all new assistants, training staff, in game adjustments, clock management, could set this team up or destroy it. When Billick was fired, the same "fear", consternation, gripped players, fans alike. While Harbs had his issues, a bottomless pit of a dog house, in game management, he also brought us what 6, 7 division titles, and couple of conference championship games, several ending in heartbreaking fashion, two missed field goals, a dropped/fumbled touchdown/two point conversion. A miraculous last second 70+ yard bomb to win and go to a Super Bowl, which they won, despite a huge power "failure" just after half time. Yes, Harbs had his issues, most if not all coaches do, but hopefully the next head coach is at least as winning as Harbs.

In case you couldn't see the game last night, quite the game and a good look at some draft picks

Woods is awesome when he gets plenty of rotation. His weight management might be an issue

You can check the young man out this weekend in the playoff game against Ole Miss. They have a very good defensive line, he should get a good test.

Curious to see, providing Eric stays, how his draft picks change, was Harbs behind drafting those injured draft duds? Will the Ravens change how they prioritize picks?

He isnt bad, a solid right tackle in college, but he tends to kean into the rusher, using his power, which at the next level will be not good. Thus why he would be best suited to move to guard. He does have good feet, so he is coachable

Was just thinking that. He is a better oc than head coach

This would be a good pick, while he does get "lazy" at times and uses his strength to over power rather than move his feet, he is a very good move the pile blocker.

Kliff Kingsbury

That would be funny. But what type of coach should the team look at? An offensive minded one or defensive? Experience as a head coach or never been one? I see Minter's name being mentioned by the talking heads as the odds on favorite to land with the Ravens. A defensive guy with no head coach experience. Not a bad choice except, there is that Harbs thing again, this time, Jim...

The Biscuit on this move https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/steve-bisciotti-john-harbaugh-ravens-statements

Say what you want, but 193 total wins puts him 12th all time. Yes, the 13-11 playoff record is not great, only winning 3 playoff games in the last 7 years sucks. Yes, he lost the team so I have no problem with this firing. I hope Monken doesn't leave but he likely will. If all the teams now in need of a head coach, the Ravens will have a pick of the litter.

Done deal, let's find a good coach

I would not throw the baby out with the bath water. I have joked about trading Lamar for a 1st this year and one next, but in all honesty, no way do you trade a hall of fame quarterback in his prime. We, the fans, do not know what went on inside the team, why he and so many other players did not play as well this year as they have the past several. Injuries, team politics, who knows. This year, his running was slower, no doubt. But a hammy, a knee, a foot, even a back, all slow you down even when you first get healthy. Get him healthy, fix the line, this offense will hum as it did last year, provided Monken is still here.

The way the Ravens build their team has worked out pretty well for them over the years. Eventually, even the best organizations have a down year or two. With that said, this team lost a lot of scouts over the past few years, as a result, they've missed on many important players/positions. Likewise, they lost a lot of positional coaches, the ones they brought in either are terrible are teaching their craft, & or the players they had to work with were not high quality. Proof, as we've talked about before, two highly drafted linemen on offense, actually regressed this year. Why? Only thing in common is the line coach. Fix the scouting department, you have a better chance of drafting a higher quality player. Especially if Harbs is not over ruling the scouts.

David Bailey, edge, Texas Tech 6'-3", 250 lbs Had 14.5 sacks this past season, 3 forced fumbles. Another guy who has the quickness, agility and desire to attack the pocket. If Bain is gone at 14, he would be a very good consolation prize

Some thought he was, some thought he wasn't. Maybe I was not clear, sorry

Yep, been a number of strangers things under Harbs, it is pretty clear he needs to go
