Yeah, never seen a team have issues with this many players. 1 okay, it happens from time to time, but 3?

They clearly either feel that they need him, or, are trying to keep him long enough so that another afc team can't pick him up for the playoffs. But you are correct Papa, we said the same thing in the thread of his trade. A malcontent was not going to help this team.

Wow https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-suspend-diontae-johnson-for-refusing-to-enter-game-vs-eagles Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday he would wait to comment on the situation with receiver Diontae Johnson, who did not play a snap in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. Now the organization has made a significant statement. The Ravens announced they’ve suspended Johnson for one game for conduct detrimental to the team. With Baltimore on a bye in Week 14, that suspension will take place in the team’s Week 15 game against the Giants. “We have made the difficult decision to suspend Diontae Johnson for our upcoming game against the New York Giants for conduct detrimental to the team,” G.M. Eric DeCosta said in a statement. “Diontae’s suspension stems from refusing to enter our game against the Philadelphia Eagles. “We will have no further comments on this matter going forward.”

Likely the Steelers and Browns at 1

I heard Matt Stover say that he & Tucker have talked, that's a good thing. So Tucker is not all alone in his head.

The bye week could not have come at a better time. It has been quite the strange season, for fans and for the team. So many promising looks before the season began, players coming back healthy, not having to rehab injuries in the offseason, gave everyone hope of conquering the AFC and winning a super bowl. But then the wheels started to get loose, 2 close loses that could have been wins if not for ill timed mistakes. A once dominant defense, just a year ago, now a shadow of its self. The offense, wow, there were times when it appeared no one could stop it, then times when the offensive wheels went flat. Once we add in special teams and the struggles Tucker has had kicking field goals and extra points, wowza, fans, players, coaches all need this break. Along the way, one player was left home from a game, then cut. Another benched for a game or two, then replaced all together. Rumors of turmoil brewing in a once, proud, tight nit family, are they still? As we sit, 8-5, all five loses by 7 pts or less, 2 by 3 pts or less. Combined, 22 pts in total, while Tucker has missed a total of 23 pts between field goals & extra points. No, we can't just add the points on and call them a win. Scoring leads to momentum shifts, who knows how either team will play if those points were made. My point, however, is that this team is really close to putting it all together, or, falling a part completely, as another player may be readying his resume to hand in at burger King. The once porous pass defense has been quite stingy of late. Is it the change in safeties, or just that they have not faced any real prolific passing offenses as they did earlier in the season? The offense seems to have hit a road block, suddenly unable to finish off drives in the endzone consistently. But there is hope, real hope that it will hold up its end of the bargain. The defense too should be getting better as some key injured players will be back after the bye. So four games await this team, one a true get right game against perhaps the worst team in the league. Yes, I know, I hear your groans, the Raiders were supposed to be a pushover too, we saw how that went. So take this time, watch other games, see those teams make mistakes, relax this week & weekend and just breathe, as I hope our team is going to do to clear their heads and come back ready to make a serious run.

2 more misses, this time one to the right. The one that went right and his actions after the kick imply, to me, he expected it to hook. Add the extra point and brother, does he have a big problem. Coach B and Pat Macafe on this https://youtu.be/fRmGfwByb-Y?si=lJaLkoKPj_vd2x0y

Unreal that he didn't call a time out when his qb was sacked... maybe he just wanted to be fired

While I agree, especially when it comes to Cleveland playing guard, Billy B did bench a once super bowl hero for the following super bowl, as to why we still do not know. But Johnson, back to our team, has had issues at every stop. Jackson was not playing well, nor was Williams, so what is a coach to do?

I can see 4 more regular season wins At this point, just get/be healthy and win by any means

This past week end has shown us that no team stands out as the best, from week to week. KC has trouble scoring even with a Hall of Fame qb, te, and wr, their defense is good, but lacks depth and wears down. The Bills, sure, better than week 3, but still, that much better than 35-10? Detroit, now there is a team, right? Goff threw five picks in one game, they lost another defender for the season on Thanksgiving. Sure, the Ravens pass defense looks better with the new safety rotation, but then they also have not faced any passing attacks like that of the Bengals since they switched. Each game is a game in & of its self. Build on it, take what works. As the players have been saying all year, prepare for the playoffs with how each game is played. So maybe, just maybe...

The Ravens beat them in every aspect, more rushing yards, passing yards, better on 3rd down, only 4.penalties, but the most important stat they lost was points. Man, if we step back and look, there is a glimmer that says this team is close to being the team, offense, defense, special teams, that destroyed the Bills. Can they? Dunno, it should be fun to watch...

Yeah, there isn't anyone out there right now. The kicker from Georgia is quite good, big leg, accurate....

No surprise I am sure, but there is an issue with Dionte Johnson, Harbs will "comment" on it later...

4th and 8 throws to the wrong man open in the middle amd it is almost picked Plays were there to be made and he did not make them So much for incredible record against rhe NFC, still very good, was bound to lose. A very long over due bye week

As I sais, Barkley up the middle for 25 yards and a touchdown This defense is worn out

11;20 Barkley up the middle for 4 Pass over the middle to Barkely for 3, flag down, Simpson was holding Brokwn play gets 3 Forced to throw it away, should be grounding but isnt 3rd and 7 Godsard beats Stephens for a 1st down Barkely gets free up the middle for 14 8 mins Hurts keeps it up the middle for 12 Game over

Lamar is looking at the rush, not throwing on time. He is taking too deep of drops which actually make it harder to pass protect for him

1st down eithwr way Play fske, he lofts one to Andrews for 15 Jeepers, deep drop, tries to foece one in to Flowers who was tripple coverage, almosf.picked Again, lofts one to Likely who was out of bounds 3rd and 10 Dumps it down to Hill for 5 Punt time Had he waited, he had Wallace xrossing in the middle for a 1st down, Flowers was also open False start Stout kicks a line drive to their 20, returned to their 30

4th quarter Henry up the middle for 3 Again up the middle for 5 Bateman out with a knee injury 3rd and 2 Rush gets to Lamsr but he manages to get it to Henry who rumbles for 8, flag down, holding on them

Punt dies at the 4 yard line. Mistakes, still making them. Nof penalties, so far not tuenovers, though they have tried, but misssed kicks, missed throws, missed catches and missed fielding punts 14-12, defense is playing great, dont waste it!

Hurts keeps it, Washington right there, no gain Swing pass to Barkley, five waitinf for him for no gain, but they play rocl paper scissors while he gets 5 3rd down, pass in the flat is knocked down, punt time

How many games do we let him lose for us? If puts pressure on everyone knowing that they have to stop the pther team from wven getting 3 or havinf fo get 7 because the field goal team stinks Weve been here before, after Stover, before good Tucker

They better change something with the kicking team during the bye week Pitch to Henry who starts left, cuts back rifht for 4 Hill in Cant find anyone, finally runs, reluctantly, gets 8 Henry to the left for 3, almost broke this one Swing pass to Hill for 2 3rd and 5 Takes off, tries to hurdle a defender, foolishly, falls inches short 4th and 1, tush push or is it Drush push, marked as a 1st down 1st ans 10 from their own 40 Henry slips out, Lamar hits him for 11 Henry up the middle for 5 Hill in Hill bounces amd dodges for 3 3rd and 2 Lamar keeps it, fumbles, but Stanley recovers it for a 1st down 2 mins left 3rd q Tries to hit Algholar between 4 people, gets broken up 2nd and 10 Had Hill wide open He keeps if agsin up the middle, gets 3 3rd and 7 1:30 Throws deep to Algholar who canf hang onto as he hits the ground Tucker from 53 misses wide right

From their 37 9:55 Hurts is pressured right away, gets sacked as he tries to run 2nd 10 Barkley left, Jones tackles him for a loss of 1 3rd and 11 No one open, he is forced to flee, throws it away. Punt time Punt to the 13, returned to 16, fumbled, recovered by Wallace
