52isUnstoppable Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 And it sucks because flacco has been clutch all season. His numbers might not be great but he has kept us in every game and had chances to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsideRzAcE Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 7-9, 8-8 this season. I think they will be decent towards the end of the season, but it will be too little too late. Some noticeable improvement from the Oline today. Flacco actually had time to take some shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Same story as usual. The offense stinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 7-9 or 8-8 is a bit overly optimistic for a team playing with no sense of urgency and the lack of leadership and chemistry. Things could change and a bye might help things turn around. Still, Unless there's a sudden change of fortune, this years squad has the look of a 5-11 or 6-10 record.

thundercleetz Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Pittsburgh just kicked our ass at the LOS on both sides of the ball. Our secondary played great. Flacco and the recievers look good. We should just run the whole game out of the no huddle shotgun because the run game is worthless. The offensive line is a huge problem. Anyone else think that Ngata is a liability out there? I'm not positive what his cap number looks like next season but I have to think he's not going to be worth whatever he's going to get... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The OL won't get fixed until next year. Then, maybe then the run can be re-established. Flacco is going to have to win on his own. Ngata looks old and worn out. He may have reached his peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool739 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think Rice is done, but we're gonna need a new OC or it won't matter....Pees D doesn't work with a weak offense, and Weak should be Caldy's first name....Total Bum and if we don't make the playoffs , it will be because of him...I bet some of you Cam haters would like to see him back right about now, wouldn't you ?Say what you want about him but he got us to the playoffs every year, and this putz now looks like a sandlot coach....Let me be the first to say this, PLEASE.....Fire Caldwell !!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cravnravn Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have never seen more coaching blunders in one season then the 2013 Ravens coaching staff, OK so you dont take the penalty on the PAT and move the ball to the one and go for two and the win, but to move the ball to the 40 and then not kick it out of the stadium is absurd. The onsides kick attempt, if it works its a good play, but when it doesnt, its magnified, especially on a under 500 team. The coaching decisions Ive seen this year are mind boggling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngata is overrated..a few of us debated this earlier this season. He just doesn't have the consistent impact on the game he should for a guy making what he is making.

I haven't taken a look at the remaining schedule in order to put a prediction, but I guess my point is they will improve down the stretch, but not enough to make the playoffs. They should be set up nicely for next season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Caldwell is hardly the problem. Find me an OC that could make this offense work with this offensive line. You won't. And if you did the guy would become someone else's head coach within a year. KO has already come out and said his back is bothering him and will not be 100% until he gets surgery this offseason. I guess we'll have to work with that. Monroe looked better this week. However Gino is still a MAJOR liability at center. We get no push in the middle and defenses are killing us with blitzes in the A gaps. Worst of all Gino's play effects KO and Yanda's effectiveness big time. I think we all took Birk forgranted. As for Ngata: I think injuries have just taken their toll on him. I'm not sure if he'll ever be completely healthy again. He'll make a play ever once and awhile that will remind you why he was great. In my opinion Ngata should be a part time player. This offseason I'm sure Ozzie will present him with a paycut or release option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Cleetz, you hit it in the head. Its all about the LOS and having an effective OL and DL. The former is embarrassing, the latter is decent. Our OL has potential long term solutions at LT (in Monroe) and RG (with Yanda); the rest especially C need to be replaced internally or with FA's and/or drafts. Get that fixed, find an effective OL coach, get some experience with our WR corps, we'll be ok. Although less of a concern, the DL is also puzzling at times. Allowing rookies to run all over them (last 2 weeks) is unacceptable. Ngata looks spent. Brandon Williams is an emerging DL star. The DL needs to be fortified with more dominant run stoppers and rushers like Williams. Its going to take this season and possibly the next to right the ship on both sides.

I aint even gonna argue over it, Caldwell is absolutely the problem TC, it's part of his job to oversee the Oline, developing plays include blocking schemes.....If it's a line coach that's not doing his job well enough, he needs to tell Harbs, he has to change him or continue losing...But Caldy's play calling has been capital M-ediocre ,just not good enough to win consistently.....Fire Caldwell !!!!

thesteelhurtin Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 From the opposing view on ngata was what always made him so damn good was how fast and agile he was. With the injuries he has suffered that is no linger the case making him a good dt instead if a great dt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldno82 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ngata is overrated..a few of us debated this earlier this season. He just doesn't have the consistent impact on the game he should for a guy making what he is making.Cap figure is a whopping $16 million next year, the highest on the team. He just doesn't have it anymore and certainly not for those prices. He was a great player but injuries the last 3 seasons have taken their toll.
