Harbaugh had a great opportunity to hire EB, and it came at a time when Reid vouched so hard for him he did everything short of completing EB's Ravens interview himself. And Harbaugh said, "No thank you. I'm going to take a former failed NFL OC and overrated college coach instead."
I was one of EB's biggest supporters on here as a coach. And I couldn't believe it when nobody hired him as a head coach. I still think he'd make a better head coach than half of the chuckle****s who get jobs over him. But that chapter is done and I'm tired of talking about him. He's gone, out of the NFL picture. Maybe he'll come back to the league at some point but if he does I'm not going to give a shit about his career. So as for Harbaugh demanding to hire EB as his OC... uhhh, no. He doesn't want him, and if he cut bait with Monken this quickly and went back to the guy he passed over, I think he'd start to get people in the organization questioning his judgment, and whether he actually knows what he wants in an OC. |

as soon as Worthy scored his first TD the Ravens defense played scared. They had cover 2 so deep in fear of Worthy that it was basically 4 vs 5 but 2 of those 5 defenders were LB’s having to cover a WR or RB (Rashee Rice).
That’s why Kelce and Perine/Pacheco kept getting so open. Andy is just ****ing around making LB’s look foolish. And this was without Hollywood Brown which will make this even harder for defenses. If I’m a DC I get LB’s off the field and replace them with safeties in cover 4/5 and dare Andy to go against his nature to run the ball. Gonna be very interesting to see what Lou does next Sunday |

If you look at the game honestly, the Ravens gave the game away.
Both teams made mistakes during the first game of the year and we made the least mistakes and that gave us the win. |

The play calling was great. It just seemed like Andy went back through all of his bag of tricks and selected plays that destroy modern defenses.
Lots of isolation plays to get guys wide open, high low concepts. Just beautiful. Last years offense not only didn’t have the personnel, the play calling was frustrating. Far less Nagy’s Bears stuff. |

It took him a while to recover and his eye still looks a little janked up from it. Then again Van Noy will have infinitely better medical care. |

Only in the 4th quarter when many of our previously banged up starters on D were completely winded did they make any progress. The pass rush slowed, the LB's slowed, and Lamar had a few wide open guys. This game could have been a blowout if not for drops, some sloppy play, and a number of guys that still don't have their conditioning up to par yet. Both Perine and Pacheco dropped passes that could have been huge plays. Kelce contributed a concentration drop. As the season goes on and the new additions get comfortable we'll see our fair share of curb stompings. |

Ah, the old 'only black teachers can/should teach black students' argument. How can an old White man relate to these young black players in a sport dominated by black athletes? Exhibit A: ![]() Monken has been coaching for 33 years, been a successful OC with four different NFL franchises (Jacksonville, Tampa, Cleveland, Baltimore), the OC at University of Georgia for three years (2020-2023; they were pretty good), and a HC at Southern Mississippi, and he also played quarterback in college. Unfortunately, his biggest drawback is that he's White, apparently. Eric Bienemy is a whole three years younger than Todd Monken. Bienemy has been a running backs coach in college (Colorado) and the NFL with Minnesota during Adrian Peterson's best years, and of course was the OC for the Chiefs from 2018 through 2022 before going to Washington for one year. He's now at UCLA as the OC. Of course, we know Bienemy played RB in college and in the NFL for nine seasons, his last being with Reid in Philadelphia. He is also black, so therefore can communicate better with black players and can flash his Super Bowl rings, or something. I have a hybrid course of action that takes the best of your recommendation for Baltimore, while also retaining Todd Monken who is, by all accounts, more qualified in every aspect to be their OC; It's only been done successfully a few times, but hear me out... ![]() This way, Monken achieves immediate buy-in from Lamar with his new skin color, but also retains his competency! Flame away, as CP is a cesspool but IDGAF because I am completely sober on a Sunday morning. |

Derrick Henry was given 13 rush attempts. This falls on John Harbaugh repeatedly pressing the panic button every time KC gets ahead in the game. He does not have the patience to stick with his running game, because, justifiably so, he's terrified of Patrick Mahomes. In the afc title game with the worst offense Mahomes has ever ran, Harbaugh rushed only 6 times with running backs. The Ravens only shot to ever beat KC is to get extremely lucky with turnovers by KC, while having a 40+ minute time of possession focused on a running game that limits Mahomes ever being on the field. That's it. Because Lamar Jackson is never going to win a contest dropping back to pass 40 times against Patrick Mahomes. |

Lamar’s pass attempts are a reflection of the fact that the ravens spend 90% of the game against the Chiefs trailing. In the last 120 minutes of game time ravens have had the lead for all of 2 minutes. You run when you have the lead. Plus the carries Henry would have had Lamar took on his scrambles and he averaged 7.6 yards per carry. The lack rushing attempts by Henry is quite irrelevant. They still got the yards. The problem is Lamar just can’t consistently make the throws that any average qb can make. Lamar had 3 open receivers and missed all 3. The ravens lose to the Chiefs because they can’t get a lead and lean on their running game, and have to ask Lamar to make plays with his arm. |

Hollywood not playing was big but I am concerned the NFL is going to suspend Rashee for the offs so we’ll be stuck at that -1 starting WR disadvantage again.
