This is so horrible. I feel so sad for all the little kids who were killed and their families. This is beyond your worst nightmare.

Kevins a good man. I love reading his articles. He's their PR man, so he looks for the good, but he always has great inside information. He's there every day, knows the players and the character of this team. They are not thinking they will lose Sunday....that I know.

"Talking the draft and free agency in December....it feels like I'm on the Browns board...only they start talking the by the end of October every year."

"Wait....wait.........It's channelling in....got it! What a Revelation! It's so simple! The Ravens will win Sunday because.... 1.Joe, Ray and the offense will match Manning score for score...and score 1 more. 2. Manning is going to make this defense bend...but they won't break... .....or they'll break one less than the Bronco D. The Ravens defensive key will be to not let Manning get one over the top like a 30-50 yard scoring play. Instead...when the field shrinks, go to their redzone D and force them to settle for field goals. The offense will counter with touchdowns. 3. Jacoby Jones and the Special Teams Squad show up huge. 4. Cold, rain and the 12th Man at M&T will be the final kicker. OMG! Upset! Whaaheye?...oh why ye of little faith can' t you see this?

D for Decimated.... I'm going to cheer them on Sunday. Hurting or not, they're "our guys" and they'll show up and give their best.

Ravens fans are shivering in their shoes with Manning and the mighty Broncos coming to town. Do not join them! "Denvers beaten nobody!!!" 5 of their wins are in their own very weak division..KC, Oakland and San Diego. They have only defeated one team with a winning record...the 7-6 Stealers. Anybody'd have a 4th ranked offense and defense with that cupcake schedule! They played these guys!...

The bad news mounts.... The offense has to score 50 points a game.

The put Williams in for Yanda Sunday. They may do that again. Otherwise it's a major reshuffle: McKinnie, Reid, Burke, Osemele, Oher......don't see that happening....but it could.

Assholela Jackson.

They need all the help they can get. Smith hasn't shown much but he's got to be and improvement over some of the back ups.

I like the team mutiny meeting theory.Maybe something will leak out about that over the next few days.

Call it what you want...desperate...but this took some balls to ax Cam.... ...because John's head is now squarely on the chopping block. He's got an Owner who wants a SB trophy bad....real bad.

For the record...Bruce blows.

It's also getting him killed. Probably be ok if they only needed him for a year.

I feel like the Ravens season turned here....on the offenses final possesion of the first half... Baltimore Ravens at 0:44 1st and 10 at BAL 13...(Shotgun) R.Rice right guard to BLT 13 for no gain (R.Kerrigan). Timeout #2 by BLT at 00:37. 2nd and 10 at BAL 13...(Shotgun) J.Flacco pass short right to D.Pitta to BLT 22 for 9 yards (L.Fletcher). 3rd and 1 at BAL 22...(No Huddle) J.Flacco up the middle to BLT 27 for 5 yards (R.Kerrigan). QB sneak. Timeout #3 by BLT at 00:16. 1st and 10 at BAL 27...(Shotgun) J.Flacco pass short right to R.Rice to BLT 31 for 4 yards (P.Riley; J.Wilson). End of 1st Half The Ravens were up by 7 and the offense was hot. Joe has marched this team down the field and scored TD's with less that a minute thirty. He has had 50 second TD drives. OK...so they are at the 13 with 44 seconds. Might not get a TD but a field goal would be huge. That would make it a 10 point/2 score lead with them getting the opening kick off of the 3rd quarter. Another score there and the dagger is set. Instead they open with a running play for no gain. If ever there was a time to pass, it was this time. An incompletion stops the clock. The pass is your friend. They know the Stealers are losing. A win and they are in. Let's go for it! Come on! Play to win. Keep the heat on! Plus the defense is decimated. The offense has to sholder the load and score a ton. It's RG3 and Morris...think a 7 point lead with our D is safe?! Instead Cam plays it safe and sent a bullshit message to the team. I think that's why they opened the 3rd quarter flat. The message sent was "Why try? You can't do it." 5 plays, 18 yards, 0:44 elapsed...why not chuck it down the field 5 times????????????? Go for it! Look at the fear in that drive! A QB sneak! Why? Because they were afraid to punt with 16 seconds left because the Redskins might score! They other team might score, but not us! Don't worry! We won't try! I don't know about you...and I don't want to be right about this...but if the Ravens lose out...and I don't think they will... for me, the season ended or officially went South here. Yea...I know a lot has been going south all year despite the winning record. This didn't get Cam fired, but it is a big example of what was wrong.

Thanks cleetz! The talk about the team mutiny meeting being about Cam and his play calling is interesting. Also the Ozzie told Joe's agent this is his last year...and Rice being upset. Some or all of that may be true. If so...congrats to Harbaugh for listening to his players, stepping up and making the change.

Every week Harbaugh talks about getting better. The offense hasn't done that since he's been here. This does smack of desperation. The main message??? Everybody's on the hot seat.

Caldwell's never called a play. But Cam should be gone. There is too much talent on offense to be consistentlyvranked in the middle of the pack. The final "no try for points at the end of the first half did it for me. This was Steve "we like a fire under Cam" Bichiotti's call. He threw gas on that fire. Maybe Joe's input and comments did him in also. Let's hope Joe takes off like Rivers and Breed did once Cam was removed from them.

If they can upgrade over him in the off season, then they should. In his defense, he has little to work with. They actually did good today given that Suggs and Ellerbe were out...no Lewis , Webb or Smith. It's a unit weak on talent. They had the Special Teams players filling the voids...and it looked like it. Marvin Lewis looked like Pees his first 3 years here. He didn't become a genius until he got the talented players.

Harbaughs Mighty Men are getting too good at "Finding Ways to Lose."

The INT was the room clearing fart. Joe doesn't throw that and at worst the Ravens get a FG and escape with the win. Instead it became a 6 point turn around.

It's not Ozzies fault. It's this man's....

I hear you. Once I saw that Cam didn't want any more points on that last drive of the first half I went to work in my garden too...

Get a lead???? Ravens Offense: "Oh let's sit on it!" How do they sit on it???? Ravens Offense: "Let's make some drive killing penalties!" Put a game out of reach??? Ravens Offense: "Oh no! That would be impolite! We have to give them the ball so they can have a chance." Why? Ravens Offense: "We're 9-4 and in first place in the North. Where's everybody going for dinner?"
