The Ravens were one play away from playing this Sunday in Indianapolis. All Lee Evans has to do is fall down with the ball and it’s a Super Bowl 35 not a Super Bowl 42 rematch.
But Evans dropped the ball and Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that killed the Ravens chances of sending the AFC Championship to overtime. It still stings just typing it.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti met with the media for his annual State of the Ravens press conference and even he acknowledged the painful loss. “I’m not over it,” he said. “Hold onto a ball. I mean that’s where it was this year.”
After reading the quotes and watching the press conference I’ve come to the conclusion that Bisciotti and the Ravens front office really believe that this is a championship caliber team. Bisciotti is content with this coaching staff and the talent on the field. He believes in Cam Cameron and thinks Joe Flacco will win multiple rings.
Fans may criticize the Ravens for sticking with Cameron after watching Flacco’s numbers take a dip this season, but Bisciotti has indicated that a change at offensive coordinator would be a transition that a team this close can’t afford.
We can judge that plan this time next season. It’s often hard to replicate a season in the NFL, but that’s what Ozzie Newsome and Ravens ownership have decided to try in 2012.
Me personally, I’ve seen the end of this movie, I would like a new ending to 2013, one with confetti showering down and a silver trophy being held skyward…
Do you think he is going to be critical of any one he hires ? He was critical and fired Billick but he didn’t hire him , for this type of individual to fire a person they hired it is admitting a mistake and that is something they just don’t do , unless pushed into a corner. How many times have you heard Harbaugh admit he made a mistake.
I don’t see enough fire in this room , I see too much buddy, buddy to win a super bowl ring……….I hope I’m wrong………
What a bunch of BS from this group.
How about Mr. Bisciotti, hire a real Head Coach and not like MGW say, a Community Organizer like Harbaugh who stands on the sidelines expressionless not having a clue as to what is going on.
Like someone said the other day. Harbaugh WASN’T SMART enough to call timeout in the Patriots game but Belichick WAS SMART enough NOT to call a timeout to ice the kicker which is the norm because he saw the Chinese Fire Drill that was going on on the other side of the field.
I do not like Belichick but you got to admit he had to be standing there ready to call a timeout to ice Cundiff then realized he shouldn’t call a timeout because Harbaugh was allowing the craziness to go on.
But in Harbaughs defense he did say he didn’t even think to call a timeout… WTF! Its Harbaughs job to keep his head in the game in those situations! It’s not like he’s calling plays or talking to his players (Who never talk to him anyway). Oh wait, maybe Harbaugh was fighting with another coach like he was earlier during the game as well as in the Texans game.
When is the last time you saw a kicker run on the field from what seemed like the end zone? The kicker may sprint in from the sideline, but Cundiff was booking it from the left of my TV screen which is not the norm.
Harbaugh is a figurehead, nothing more.
sounds like a bunch of squealer fans crying come on the Ravens are right there Butter Fingers Leann Evans holds the ball we are playing and winning ring 2 sunday so stop bitching stop crying and lets back the boys in 2012
Wake up man , the Ravens should have had a ten point lead by the end of the game and the last minute would not have mattered , but we are stuck with a head coach and coordinator who do not have a clue on how to call a competitive game , the Pats were ready to be beaten down that day and they failed to recognize it,,,,,,,,,,,
Looks like Shawn Mayers is a purple Kool-aid drinker… No Shawn, MGW and I are Ravens fans, wear the purple on Fridays, root for Ray Rice, Tay Lewis, etc… But we see the clown of a coach we have in Harbaugh who has cost a few points/games during his tenure.
Harbaugh is a skinny Andy Reid. Gets to the playoffs and thats it. Is that what you want? Because from my understanding the Super Bowl Trophy is the ultimate prize.
The biggest game of the year to go to the Super Bowl and your head coach didn’t think to call a timeout while your kicker is on the sideline playing “testicle tango” while not paying attention to the game? WTF?
