Did Cam coach his worst game of all time yesterday?

[Frank Costanza 831]

Let me start of by saying that Flacco and the O-Line both played a very poor game but the playcalling in this game was absolutely inexcusable!!! When you have a top 3 running back in the league why would you under any circumstances not use him?? And i don't consider the two or three running plays he called in garbage time to try to balance the stat sheet using him. The jig is up, Harbaugh. It's time to fire your old college buddy or you might be standing in the breadline next to him

[Brohan]

No, just a typical Johnny "The Road Warrior" Harbaugh disaster.

Has anyone done less with as much as Coach Johnny?

[ivanbalt]

I don't understand why the Ravens instantly abandon the run if things aren't ideal on the road.

I don't know that the outcome is much different regardless, but I felt the failure to run on 2d and 3 (result 3 and out) and 2d and 4 (result safety) on consecutive possessions early in the game took the Ravens out of the game.

To that point, the defense had been fired up, Rice was running well, and the offense seemed in synch. After that, nothing went well.

No, my friend. It's not time for Harbaugh to fire Cameron.

(It's way PAST time. I've been saying it for YEARS now, but all the little apologists just kept saying: "Well...I'd give him ONE MORE YEAR...blah blah blah." As if something were ever going to change.)

Maybe Andy Reid. Oh wait, that's where Coach Johnny learned to underachieve

I'm honestly thinking it's time to can Harbaugh. I said that back in 2010 which maybe jumped the gun a little bit but he's made it abundantly clear that his loyalty to his buddies supersedes the good of the team. It's time for Steve and Ozzie to step in

Exactly. If we had a scrub of a running back maybe i'd give Cam a pass but we have Ray freaking Rice for god's sake!! Why don't we use him!!!!!!!!!

Word.

Word.

And if yesterday's disgraceful performance wasn't enough of a wakeup call then nothing will be

I respectfully disagree with you. There are times when Harbaugh seems to make some questionable calls, etc., but the Ravens are 5-2 this year and have been in the playoffs every year he was here. That is hardly a resume for a player on the hot seat. I don't agree with everything he does, but you cannot argue with the results.

[jamesdean]

In a somewhat ironic twist, the major offensive issue lies within the ineptitude of the defense. Yesterday was a prime example of that, meaning that the Ravens should have done everything in their power to run the ball and keep Schaub & Co. on the sideline. It's becoming brutally clear that the Raven defense just can't get off the field so to me, you just run the ball, throw in some high percentage, West Coast passing routes to keep the opposition honest and chew up the clock. No, it's not exciting nor will it produce 30+ points a game. But it will minimize the damage the defense is going to do. Harbaugh's obviously not going to insert a whole new team out there so it's time for a radically different offensive approach. Cameron's just going to have to swallow some of his ego and pound Rice, Leach, Pierce like there is no tomorrow. Hell, even let Flacco run down the field at times. Otherwise, this team is going nowhere, even at 5-2.

I agree

My sentiments exactly. 5-2 is meaningless when you look at the schedule and find yourself hard pressed to see even 4 more games we could win. I don't see them getting a road win against a Cleveland team that is getting better and more confident every week, is hungriest against the Ravens and who nearly won at M&T a few weeks ago, save for a dropped TD pass by Little (who caught a version of the exact same pass yesterday but I can't remember if they overruled the TD as out of bounds on a replay).

I don't see them getting a road win against Pitt, San Diego, the RG III's, or even the Bungles at this point. Like I said in another post, puleeze prove me wrong, but until then

[44Defense]

He is not going anywhere. We need to get used to the playcalling. Joe is not the key to the team its Rice.

So we should just sit back and enjoy the mediocrity then?

No, they should have done everything in their power to a) not repeatedly go 3 and out, and b) score more than 13 freaking points, and c) not give up nearly as many points on offense (9) as they scored.

The defense was playing pretty well until the offense decided to take the rest of the day off.

[Ravens2006]

Give the job back to Brian Billick... he's always been successful whenever he has a half decent QB running the offense...

Maybe they wouldn't have continually gone 3 and out if they had not given up on the run game so quickly. I think when Houston went up 16-3, Cameron went into the panic mode and once that happened, Flacco just followed suit. One of the days(hopefully sooner than later), Cameron is going to admit to himself that the offensive line is a pitiful pass protection unit and it's just more logical to accentuate the run. Like I said, it's not flashy and Cam will have to bury his dream of Flacco being an elite quarterback who throws TD passes from all over the field. If the defense was top flight, maybe you could aspire to be that kind of offense but it's not getting any better like I thought it would. Run, Toto, RUN!!!!

It is possible, very possible, that this team could lose out. And then, finally, we would see the end of the Cam Cameron era in Baltimore.
