Mike Macdonald

What if Macdonald decided to stay in Baltimore this year instead of taking a HC position. The Ravens are 12-5 right now. If Macdonald was the DC this year I strongly believe they would have finished 15-2 or 16-1, maybe unbeaten. Ravens have a hell of a run game with Henry in the backfield and if you combine that with Macdonalds defense you got a nearly perfect squad.

Kinda wish we had that kind of ownership that was hungry to keep winning. Moving on from Pete was a start.

It takes time building your own thing. I’ve mentioned many times that JS Is on the hot sheet. He hasn’t done a lot for years. You can blame PC as well. Maybe MM and JS can do it together. I have no idea if that’s possible.

Their defensive coordinator isn't so inept that it likely would have made a 3-4 game difference. They're using the same players.

Ehhh. They lost a handful of solid players and the second half they were tops in most categories.

Ravens were garbage defensively to start the season but turned it around.

I think there is an argument to be made if they had continuity at DC, they wouldn't have struggled so bad early. So yeah, they could have made a legit push for the #1 spot in the AFC.
