This may be one of the most important offseasons in team history. If the Biscuit is not careful, this team can go down hill for a long time and the new name of the stadium will be Empty bank Stadium. His hopeful profit from the sale of the team will be quite reduced

Higgins will be out for the Bemgals, concussion Bateman is questionable with an ankle

Been a lot of skuttlebutt that Monken will be fired at season's end, especially if this offense keeps floundering. Frankly, if they fire him and not Orr, I might be so disappointed in this org that I dont watch any games next year. Oh it wont bother them, nothing we fans do, for the most part, can force the hand of the coaches/owner. Remember the Aints? All of those fans with bags on their heads? The empty seats in Tampa during this long, dark days? Empty seats only lead to a team moving, hello, that is how we got the Ravens, because the Browns kept inept front office, coaches, leading to years of losing. But how could you possibly say the coordinator who turned this offense into not just the best in team history, but one of the best in league history, should be fired? When, on the same team, you have a coordinator who took a top 10 defense and has them in the bottom of the league, two years in a row. This, and he is the one you keep? I realize I am a bit biased, big Georgia fan, pushed, hoped Todd would be the oc here, but it is pretty clear, the play calling on offense, is not the issue. Monken has tried to implement more plays from the same formations to help skew tendencies. He has plays designed to get people open, I know, I saw it at Georgia, we saw the past two years here. Does he decide who plays on the offensive line? Does he coach them? Does he coach the wide recievers? The quarterback, other than what the plays are designed to do? No, he is not the problem, but the tea leaves say he will be the fall guy.

Johs Allen, Steve Young, Warren Moon, just three, 1 today, two from yester-year. All can run, Moon was told to stop, Young chose to stop, both focussed on pocket awareness, reading defenses. This is what we talked about last year and the year after. How obvious it was that Lamar was working toward being that type of quarterback. We saw the great success, using his legs to scramble and buy time. Struggle at times trying to decide if he should run. This year, he clearly took a step back, he cant even scramble properly and looks afraid to run. Something, this year is wrong with him; what, we may never know. Lack of confidence in the line? In the olay calls? In his teammates?

Have to start somewhere

I disagree papa, he has shown he can be a drop back passer prior to this year. Yes, he used his legs, but begrudgingly. This year, I don't know what the issue is, we know he had personal issues early in the season, but was fine, save for the turnovers, in the first 2 games. After that, his accuracy went way down. Some say because of hamstring, then his ankle, then his toe. Yet last game he was a clean bill of health and still could not complete easy throws. Me, I think all of rhe above which all lead to him missing practice and now, he skips every Wednesday. This can throw off your timing with the receivers and I think that is a large part. Also doesnt allow you to work against reading the defense alignments. Sure, you can watch tape, but nothing beats doing so from behind center

It's a good enough deal, friendly, that if they want to use him in a trade before or during the draft, it would be easy. Nonetheless, he is a very good rotational player, starter who has shown he will play through some injuries. When you combine him with another experienced big man, a formidable duo. Peoples may be that guy or someone else either on the team or via draft. Goose was so good because of Sam Adams, together they were incredible. Both were long in the tooth and in Adams case, helped to motivate each ofher.

I like it, he earned it and I would bet several teams would have given him more According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it's a $40.5 million extension, which would put Jones at 27th in the NFL next year among all interior defensive linemen, per Spotrac. The Ravens reached the deal just a week after inking an extension with veteran tight end Mark Andrews Ravens Reach Three-Year Contract Extension With Travis Jones https://share.google/PyT7M9tL0iT44lgoW Asked this week about Madubuike's status, Head Coach John Harbaugh said, "There's a lot going on there with Nnamdi. I'd love to share some stuff, but I can't share it right now."
-
I dont think Jenkins comes back, he only came back for a last shot at a Super Bowl. Sorry dude. I also think Madds retires, which is going to hurt the cap. Now the question is, who else won't be back and more importantly, why won't they be back? Because they want to leave, due to coaching? Or because the Ravens don't want to pay them?

Michigan just fired Moore for having a sexual relationship with a staffer, no word on if it was the mascot...... Anywho, how neto torpedo would it be for this Harbs to take the other Harbs' old job..... just some fun on a cold Wednesday

It's Ripley's believe it or not Ravens rumors: ESPN insider teases big coaching changes. Would that include John Harbaugh? - Yahoo Sports https://share.google/0qAwU0pThnjNhMqJM Questions keep piling up in Baltimore as the Ravens try to make sense of a 6-7 record and a sputtering offense. Coming off a 27-22 loss to the Steelers, John Harbaugh already had to bat away conspiracy theories that Lamar Jackson’s ankle is quietly limiting him, insisting the quarterback “looked good physically” and was “moving well” in his return. The tape and numbers suggest something is off with the attack, though, and that broader unease is now feeding a new round of speculation about where this franchise is headed next. ESPN’s Dan Graziano said he keeps getting asked whether the Ravens or Steelers jobs could unexpectedly open up if either team misses the playoffs. His answer was cautious but telling: he doesn’t expect Baltimore or Pittsburgh to move on from their long-time head coaches, yet he admitted that if he is wrong, those openings would “shake up” the entire hiring cycle. ............... Fellow insider Jeremy Fowler focused more squarely on Baltimore. In his view, the Ravens qualify as “really interesting” because their current record does not match their roster talent, and he noted that internal frustration with the lack of offensive production has been building. Fowler still expects Harbaugh to remain in charge, but he described 2026 as more likely to bring a reset with “multiple staff changes” than a clean head-coaching break. In other words, the chair under Harbaugh is not exactly on fire, yet the people around him may not all survive another year like this.

Cleveland has been suspended 3 games, guess he won't be back next year. Shame, they needed his toughness, he just cant get over his demons https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-ben-cleveland-suspended-three-games-for-violating-nfl-substance-abuse-policy

All I could find, apparently he posted on the Instagram a photo of him, looking slimmer and some emoji, leading some to assume he is retiring. Then this from the redit Madubuike posted on his Instagram story today(been silent for months). : r/ravens https://share.google/YWSXBYcendshUQ35a A poster claimed to be an ex of a Ravens player who cheated on her, he'll hath no fury and all. She claimed that he is already retired or set to be. That post was taken down but the thread I linked to explains... for what it is worth.

Nothing that I have seen. Not even sure what the injury is, spinal stenosis, blown disc, cracked vertibre, who knows
-
I want to see more of Tez in this game, less of Bateman or even Likely. Move Vorhees to right guard or use Bullock there and let Jones take over at left guard. Now I realize they won't make any of those changes..... but a guy can dream, right

A beat down two weeks ago seems to have not only brought the five game winning streak to an end but also smacked this team into the reality: they are playing poorly.. Sure, there is still hope for a playoff spot, win out and win the division. Any other way is virtually impossible, they would need to win and have several other teams lose the last 3 of 4 games. In short, it does not appear to matter, if you have watched this team try to play this season, it clearly is not a playoff team, well, not one we are used to seeing. There are several teams in the league, once thought to be Super Bowl contenders, teams that had been in the playoffs for years, some, for almost a decade. Yet this season, they are stumbling around like a blind man in a butt kicking contest, several, not just the Ravens, are likely to miss the post season.. Now is the time for this team to take stock, make changes on the offensive line for starters, if for nothing else than to prepare young players for next season. Maybe even to see what this team truly needs in the draft and free agency. Afterall, it cannot be worse on offense. So, who ya got?
-
He won a Super Bowl and is one of rhe winningest coaches in history, 4th in playoff wins in league history, people forget... Is his time up? It should be, the failed drafts the past few years, bad signings, poor game management and frankly the inability to see when changes in personnel should be made.

I hate rumors, but some how stumbled on this one, how true? Who knows, but certainly interesting. I don't even know what a redit is let alone a subredit What Is Happening Behind Closed Doors in Baltimore Ravens? According to a since-deleted Reddit post from the Ravens subreddit that was later shared on X, Jackson and other teammates have wanted head coach John Harbaugh fired for years. While rumors like this surface often, this one carries more weight than usual. An identity check was reportedly performed by channel moderators, who confirmed the original poster was affiliated with a player on the team.

Ouch https://nypost.com/2025/12/08/sports/how-mark-andrews-cost-the-ravens-a-wide-open-touchdown-vs-steelers/ NFL analyst Brian Baldinger pointed out during a film review that Jackson seemingly unloads the ball to Hopkins as Andrews came across the field and used his 6-foot-5 frame to deflect a ball that looks pretty clearly not intended for him. On fourth down from the Steelers’ eight-yard line with the Ravens down 27-22 with just 2:28 remaining, quarterback Lamar Jackson was moving around looking for an open receiver, when DeAndre Hopkins came free in the back of the end zone with his hands up begging for the ball. Andrews’ hand knocked the ball off its trajectory to Hopkins and fell incomplete as the drive stalled deep in Pittsburgh territory, foiling their best chance to score a touchdown and take the lead in a crucial game. After Andrews accidentally spoiled what appeared to be a sure-fire Hopkins touchdown, Jackson put his hands in the air in shock after having missed an opportunity to take the lead and perhaps win the game

Ravens had 420 yards of total offense, including 217 on the ground. Every other year they win that game. Steelers had 318, 34 on the ground. Ravens had almost 10 more minutes in time of possession, only 1 turnover. This year, this team has had trouble winning game in the regular season after turning the ball over. Add in the penalties at most inopportune times, 1 leading to taking a field goal off the board and Steelers getting a touchdown. Of all the bad calls in this, excuse me, the perceived bad calls, this one truly was the wrong call. Travis Jones did nothing wrong, it was legal, incidental contact with the long snapper. That was a huge call. Then there was the holding on the last punt return that took the ball from their own 40, to their 26. Big difference in starting a game winning drive. Not that it would have been any different, the Ravens 2 min drill was horrible.. But this team, this year, played the regular season like it does in the playoffs. They best them selves with penalties and turnovers.

Mahomes, 42% completion, 0 tds 3 picks, one was not his fault. The hall of fame tight end Travis Swift, cobbled a perfect pass that was caught by a Texan. He had 2 of 5 drops, all of which were on 4th or 3rd down that would have been a 1st down. 1 would have been a long touchdown. Yes, misery loves company. Cheifs are 6-7, need to win out, and need several teams to lose multiple games. The Ravens just need to win out: still

So what draft position will the Ravens be in?
tsylvester replied to tsylvester's topic in Baltimore Ravens
This team needs a real possession receiver who can get open against man, Bateman clearly isn't it. There are several in this draft, 3rd round or better. They need at least another corner, Humph cant cover any more. Cut him loose or sit him in case of emergency. He has said on his pod cast that he would switch to safety..... do it if the dead money is too much. I'll give Loop credit, he is a rookie, but next year if he keeps missing extra points and not reaching the landing zone they will have to look elsewhere. Edge, Green, I know a rookie, but he is looking like he was not such a steal. Maybe by next year he will learn how to keep his balance to actually make a sack. How to tackle properly. This is clearly a two-3 year rebuild -
Nope, just one. Despite knocking several Steelers out of the game, several mostly from trying to tackle Henry. This team, especially on offense, is missing toughness. Faalele once again proved he does not belong on an NFL roster..Ali is a tough kid, blocks well, but is not a runningback. This team needs to get back to being down and dirty. Ray Lewis took the ball away from a strong, young, Eddie George on the fraking run. What, Jones couldn't out muscle a 42 year old quarterback before his jumped to his knees? That should have made it easier! They got pressure but no sacks, even with Pit starting with a 3rd string left tackle and having to go with his replacement who was just called up from the practice squad and never played in the NFL! Smith played well but one play speaks volumes. Pit ran a swing pass to the edge with blocking.. he faked a blitz and instead of running to the runningback before the ball was thrown, he read it right, he ran to the front of the blocking. Now the play was called off because the Ravens called a timeout. But still. This is coaching and just more proof, Orr is a terrible D coordinator. All of the missed tackles, the Ravens must lead the league allowing a flare pass to the flat that is read properly, to go for 6 yards when you have him stopped for a loss or no gain! Fans are blamming the refs, guess what? When you fail to be tough, you stick the ball out away from the defender, which causes you to lose control. You try to rush quickly to catch the ball and get into yak, resulting in a dropped pass; Zay, Bateman Extending Andrews, who cant run any more, cant even get open in zone, another huge mistake. D Hop, why did they sign him? 1 target, thrown so far out of bounds not even he could keep his feet in. Lamar missing so much practice that he cant read a defense? You miss slants that are WIDE OPEN right away and start dancing around, when there is a lane right in front of you to take off! Even Romo was shocked. Papa is right, this team needs to be gutted and it starts with Harbs, Orr, the offensive line coach, and a lot of those free agent players. Many on special teams who played horrible this year. Why? Special teams coach

tsylvester replied to tsylvester's topic in Baltimore Ravens
The Biscuit had better fire Harbs after this travesty, this was another winnable game; lost by ineptitude in all 3 phases of the team
