Why Your Team Sucks 2018: Baltimore Ravens

Your coach: John Harbaugh, who likes every new rule change in the NFL right up until one of them doesn’t work out in his favor. This man is a perfect 40-40 over the past five seasons. How many more chances will Harbs get before his bosses realize this team is endemically mediocre? Harbs spends every season taping up broken ankles, bitching at the refs, and spinning a wheel to pick out new coordinators. We’re getting into Billick Fatigue territory here.

By the way, Harbaugh flouted offseason practice rules, got caught for it, and then immediately proceeded to blame the players for making him keep them out at practice too long:

“Even with consistent and repeated teaching, these rules pose considerable adjustments for the young players.”

God, what an asshole. John Harbaugh is emblematic of an NFL mentality where everything bad about the sport is somehow the players’ fault. Games take forever and no one knows what the rules are, and it’s definitely all because the players bargained for an extra two days off every offseason. Fuck this guy blind.

Your quarterback: It’s Joe Flacco, who has regressed every year since the Super Bowl. He is so firmly un-elite that you don’t even have to ask anymore. He is Andy Dalton with a ring. But I can guarantee you that he will keep his stranglehold on this job even with stud rookie Lamar Jackson waiting on deck. Flacco will still be out there in November, losing games and taking sacks and struggling for basic yardage. And you’re gonna be like WHERE THE FUCK IS LAMAR? And then Harbs will get progressively testier during each postgame presser, finally blowing up at some poor beat writer and flatly stating that Flacco is HIS guy, all before ownership forces him to start Jackson two weeks later. I can see it as clearly as I can see my own children’s faces.

 

Agreed

Maybe point two is because of point 1...

 

I agree, point one is spot on as we have talked about papa, Harbs needs to go when Ozzie goes. Both wore out their welcome..

 

You can't have a pocket passer and not give him a good line nor average at best wide outs....

[varaven45]

Lots of love for coach and Flacco over here . He is right about one thing - mediocre team and performance since SB win. Somethings gotta give soon, right ?

What total garbage.

But that's what papa does...dumpster dive.

[papasmurfbell]

It is not info that ppl here have not said before.

[vmax]

I know. And it's ok to post it.

 

I've been pissed and let down by Joe and John and said so.

 

Right now...fickle fan that I am....I really like both of them.

 

Who's to say the Ravens might have been 5-11 teams without John.

 

And Ozzie?

He just might have built another Super Bowl roster over the last 2 years.

 

With the CAP issues...all the injuries to key players....they still came up short by 1 play at the end of both seasons.

It's a Fail yet it tells me something.

If they ran a team well then the injuroes and cap issues would not happen.

Like any team can control injuries? Are you just plain crazy or stupid? The writer of this garbage is a real A-hole and you must be one too to post this mental case article.

Enough said about that.

[papasmurfbell]

Yes they can. Read the biography on Bill Parcells. He had a ton of injuries in his 2nd yr as the Giants coach and said it would never happen again. He hired a new strength and conditioning coach and it didn't.

[tsylvester]

Fyi, Vikes lost 6 players to injury in their preseason game last week end...

[GrubberRaven]

Every friggen thread is full of his negativity...

So your saying that for the rest of Parcell's coaching career in the NFL, he NEVER had someone on his team get injured? Care to bet on that?

So my evals on the first game was negative?

He limited it. He put up effort to prevent it. Harbs has never been proactive about anything.
