Watched some of their game yesterday since I had a few fantasy players going and the Hawks were off. How he let Terrance West go for almost 100 yards on only 11 carries is baffling (most of his carries were in the first half). It was a close game and almost every run had big play potential and yet they kept going with deep routes or TE screens that never worked.

Ravens were lucky to start 3-0, that offense was awful for 85% of the games and were bailed out by good defense/bad opponents.

Their offense has been very bland all year.

And to think the game could have been won if not for a bonehead defensive play. Ravens intercepted the ball and ran it back to the Redskins 3 yard line only to get greedy and reach for the goal line 8 plus feet away and dropped the ball in front of the line. Ball rolls out the back of the endzone = touchback Redskins ball.

Correction. The Redskins were at the 3 when the Ravens intercepted. It was returned to about the 2. But with the touchback it became what amounted to a 17 yard gain for the Redskins.
Crazy.

Yup, was trying to score the defensive TD and lost control when reaching for the pylon. Even if he just went down, it's hard to imagine they don't score a touchdown there. Completely different game and he probably still has a job.

Maybe he can take the time away from football to find a way to not look like a serial killer.

Flacco is regressing as a QB.

Look, an actual post that isn't hating on the Seahawks from NINEster!

Didnt they also fire the OC the year they went to the superbowl against the 49ers only a few years back during the season as well.....

Two OC's fired so far this year and yet we are still stuck with Boras with some of the worst Offensive stats of the year.

Yep. Fired Cam Cameron.

Flacco is a solid QB, nothing else. The Ravens haven't been the same ever since they gave him that huge contract. In a way, he reminds me a lot of Eli Manning. He is great in the playoffs and in clutch spots, but he is so average in the regular season. You can win with him, but he isn't the type of QB that will put the team on his shoulders. Tbh, they need to build more around him. Mike Wallace is their #1 WR, that tells you how little talent they have on offense.

Trestman is a bright guy, he'll get hired somewhere. He actually made Jay Cutler look like a good QB when he was with the Bears.

OH YA...Flacco is def the AFC version of Eli Manning.

Last time the Ravens fired an OC, they went on to win the Super Bowl.

(Actually, I'm not sure if that was the last time, but they did it later in the year the year they beat the Niners in the Super Bowl.)

 

[Threedee]

So, Trestman's available now?

Does anybody want him? It is becoming clear he is not an NFL coach, at least not above the position coach level.

 

[Trenchbroom]

Back to Canada for you Mark, eh?

 

[Cyrus12]

He will have a job in the CFL sooner than later...he excels at 3 downs and a 110 yd field
