Harbaugh: 'We all could have done better'

This is a reminder to Ravens fans in the draft, they didn't address the wide receiver position. According to Ozzie and Eric, they believed in Demetrius Williams coming back this season strong. Even if they weren't able to get Hakeem Nicks or Kenny Britt, Mike Wallace of the Steelers was drafted in the 3rd round and was available when the selected Ladarius Webb. Instead, the Ravens for some reason are in love with Linebackers and Hybrids, and now there is no vertical threat on the offense as D. Williams can't even get on the field. I also was looking around the league today and saw that the Raiders upset the Bengals who swept the Ravens this year easily. My initial projection was the the Ravens were going to finish 8-8 but now I revised that to 7-9, they will lose to the Raiders too. With all that I've said, when will this Steve Bisciotti finally see that it's not the coaches fault that there is no talent on this team or that the talented is overestimated and that falls on the shoulders of Ozzie & Eric.

Anyone else tired of hearing the" We all could've played better "routine from Harbaugh. That is his job to be the difference between playing with urgency and purpose and playing flat. Why have we completely abandoned all the creative stuff offensively that worked last year? It's obvious that Flacco is not ready to win games for us against better teams.

The Ravens lost to a team that has not lost all season. That doesn't mean they will lose to the Raiders, especially now that they beat Cincy. I agree with James in that we should have drafted a receiver in the first 3-4 rounds, but first year receivers rarely have a big impact. I like Mike Wallace, but I would have drafted Webb there as well. I didn't like the Kruger pick in the 2nd round. I like best player available, but was Kruger really that guy? I think the Ravens not bringing back Stover has really hurt us. I give the Ravens 2 additional wins if Stover had returned. I think they would be 7-3 verses 5-5 up to this point. COulda, woulda, shoulda I know, but Ozzie needs to start taking some responsibility. I do not like Harbaugh and I think his ego will continue to get in the way. You can see it when he avoids any questions with substance such as injury questions or expectation questions. If Harbaugh is asked about the Ravens running 3 plays from the 2 and settling for a field goal, his response should be that we need 7 there against the Colts and 3 isn;t good enough. He also should have went for the TD on 4th down. If they do not score it puts Manning on the 1, should you still have the field position battle if you stop them.

Harbaugh looks lost on the sidelines - looks like his only responsibility is tossing the red flag. Cam Cameron - what a joke! Great credentials for an NFL play caller - head coach for a pitiful Indiana University football program, as well as 1-15 as head coach of the Dolphins. Flacco wiill be a good NFL QB, but, for now, he's not as good as he thinks he is. Only 6 weeks to go, and the Ravens and all of their fans will be free from their weekly misery.

Baltimore - we are not a playoff team. We got lucky on offense last year because our defense was so good. Face it, we couldn't win one game against the steelers last year. This year, we haven't beat a good team. Don't even say San Diego when they had so many people out bc of injuries.

This is Harbaugh's year, last year he was coaching Rex/Brian's team. This year he is on his own. The defense played very good yesterday, 3 turnovers and we can't even score a TD. That is why Ed Reed was trying to make something happen on the kick return. I don't want to hear one person put the blame on him, come on, do you really think Flacco could have put us in FG range in 17 seconds... we had no time outs bc our head coach called time out then challenge a spot which we all saw was good. The coaching staff needs to get their head out of the sand.

Can't blame Hauschka... he is probably laughing right now... the offense inability to score hide behind Hauschka. Anyone that has a clue about football knows our offense couldn't beat a top College team - and that is partly due to coaching.
