Gee, Coach. Do you think you might have been just a little bit more proud if they had actulaly pulled out a win?

Proud is good ...to win is better ... I am proud of 90% of them.... at least we won't hear hear about how great Rex Ryan is ...

this guy's politically correct canned responses are almost as annoying as BB's were.

Amazing...really its just amazing. Its amazing to hear how you ravens "fans" can turn on a coach.. I myself am also a ravens fan. But i'm not an idiot. Yes we are 3 and 3 and we are on a 3 game losing streak. But this has happened before. It happend just last year when THIS coach brought us to an AFC championship game. People need to calm down before we really start losin. Pretty much all i see this coach and GM doing is getting us a franchise qb who looks like he could one day make canton, a star runningback, and brought us to an afc championship his first year. so calm down people. Give the guy a chance before this "ravens fans bandwagon hating" starts at every single bad turn. Its really getting old. If i wasnt a die hard ravens fan i would hate ravens fans so much.

Last year the Ravens played lesster teams after only 5 wins in the 2007 season. Having gone to the AFC Championship game last year, we now have to play better teams. If you think the Ravens will get more than 3 wins out of the remaining schedule, think again. Not with that secondary.

Wow! He couldn't be more proud. Oh my God, that's scary. He shouldn't be proud of his mediocre team he should be disgusted with them.

Offense - We CAN'T sustain a drive to save our life. If we don't get a BIG play out of someone we don't score. We NEVER methodically march down the field and score. NEVER! Flacco either throws a BOMB or dumps it off to the RB. We have success on the ground and then abandon the running game or we get stuffed on the run on our first drive, and then abandon the running game. No ball control, no clock management.

Defense - Is playing tired from the second posession on. Ray Ray's best football is behind him and he has no support.

Special Teams - Is just plain mediocre (if Reed gets hurt returning a punt, Harbaugh should be fired INSTANTLY).

Coaching - I don't know? They either:
1) Recognise the lack of talent in the support postions and have to play the hand they're dealt.
2) Are handcuffed by Ozzie to make Flacco pass the ball 35+ times agame (RETARDED!!!!!!)
3) Are completely clueless.

GM - Get better players or better coaches. In this case we need both.

Fans - Quit crying about ref calls a nd what ifs.

Media - Stop stirring the pot for the sheeple with conspiracy theories and what ifs.

Bottom line is our Defense is undermanned and our Offense won't help by playing ball control football and just winning the field position war. Our Defense has to do it all and we don't have the talent this year.

Coach you are pathetic...and an idiot..........please trade or cut Flunko lose 3 straight you are OUT!!!and move Beck to our next victim please.....

I am proud that this teams does not give up. I would have loved to win our last 3 games. I don' think we should panic. We have a great young coach and I appreciate the fact that he can fine positives when we loose. You don't want the team to be negative so you have to set the example. We definatively need to fix our defense.

If he used the words "proud" or "something to build on" or "mighty men" or "the best Ravens we can be" after we lose to the Steelers for the 4th straight time I'm going to turf his yard and egg his house.

"I couldn't be more proud of our team"

I'm proud of them too, they are fighters, but I'd be busting a bunch of buttons if they had ugh actually WON.

Harbaugh - Mr perfect speak, oh so politically correct one - needs to step up - stop running for Mayor and coach!! Manage the team, correct problems - the most glaring - Mattison. Oh yeah lets hear all the excuses and then lets put the facts on the table. EVERY player on our secondary can't be lousy, every player can't have a bad game - EVERY game, every player can't be so stupid that they can't get it right EVER!! So whats left the coach/coaches. Even if these guys were average they could be coached and inspired to be better then they are. Not happening.

I'm tired of Harbaugh's perfect speak, talks cheap, now shut up and DO SOMETHING!!!

I agree with the exception of the kicker. You have one darn kick to make and you choke? There were other veteran guys (i.e Stover) that can kick out there to have some pimple faced kicker learn on the job.

The majority of the people that have posted so far are complete an utter morons. "trade or cut Flunko"? "turf and egg his house"? "Politically correct coach speak"? Yes, losing stinks but it is a long season. Harbaugh has done more in his time here than most of you will in a lifetime. It's easy to be talk this way from behind a keyboard in your mom's basement. Have another 6-pack and come up with some more insightful postings.
