That's been my view generally, though saw a report today that Ravens would consider a mid-season change this year.
Fact is, he's 26-30 (before today's outcome) over the last 3.5 seasons and while there were some injuries to Flacco in there, that's really pretty unimpressive with what has consistently been a solid roster. He is exactly .500 if you go back two more years, 44-44 over past 5.5 years since that Super Bowl
I guess, and this includes watching them year-to-year several times a year, I'm not sure anymore he really is that good. They were a lot better his first five seasons than since, and at some point it counts against him that he hasn't improved doesn't it?
In terms of who else they might get, if the guy is really the .500 coach he's been for 5.5 years the answer is "plenty of guys" I think.
Guys, no need to speculate about Ben's "injury". Just wait for his post game press conference, he'll tell the world exactly what happened and how much it hurt.
And he’ll do so right after saying he “doesn’t want to talk about it or make excuses, but...”
Idk, it’s been going on for weeks and they keep playing from the gun. They wasted a decent chunk of change on this guy.
Yep, Ian Rappaport was reporting today that Harbaugh is on the hot seat, and with a loss this week, going into a bye week, they could be making a change. It's supposedly "playoffs or bust" for him, and if they lose today, the playoffs look highly unlikely. The GM or Owner or someone was reported as saying something along those lines of "we've discussed firing him," which is obviously never a good thing to say publicly. Morninwheg is on the staff there, so if they did fire him, Marty probably gets the interim head coach label until the end of the season, and then they'll find the replacement in the offseason.
Fitzmagic may soon have the Bucs within one score.
And Stafford was just sacked for the 10th time, a new Vikes team record.

Josh Norman legitimately just tackled Julio Jones after he got beat. Even the NFL refs couldn't miss that one.
And Fitz does have them back within one score against Carolina. Wow, I think this score was 28-7 at one point.
Edit: Actually, it was 35-7. 21 unanswered for Tampa.

All coaches have a shelf life I guess. I’ve always thought the Harbaugh brothers were both good coaches and would leave teams on their own terms. But, in another sport, Torre and Francona didn’t.
Edit, Jim Harbaugh left the 49ers under weird circumstances.
Instead, they waste 20 seconds getting a play set, only to heave an incompletion out of bounds. So fucking dumb.
I thought about you but then thought “why would he be watching this awful game”
This was a shitshow from the Jets. The main problem is the GM but the coach isn’t inspiring confidence with all the pre snap penalties and not getting the bum C out of there weeks ago.
2 on 4th and long with no one open, 1 a ridiculous snap facing pressure, 1 was horrible by Sam.
GM is an asshat for not having a better line
Flacco is going to need a big time Flacco on this last drive to get it downfield and not use up all the clock.
If the Ravens get a first down on this drive, in the field of play, and they don't immediately spike it, Harbaugh should be fired on the field. Just sayin.

Fouts is by far the worst color man in broadcasting. They need to take him out back and end his and our misery.
Sure, but that's only because Nathan Peterman can't get enough reps to catch him.
Demaryius Thomas with 2 catches for 49 yards in the first 4-5 plays for Houston, against his old team.
Does Kamara have Vasoline on his uniform? I've never seen a guy his size have so many tacklers just slide off of him like he does. It's amazing. The first tackler never gets him on the ground.
Todd Gurley reminds me of when running backs were a really big deal in this league. Exciting dude to watch.
The refs in the Saints x Rams game are atrocious. Just calling every single little contact on defense.
His balance is legendary and he must be ridiculously strong. I have never seen a guy who is always in control of his moves, and his feet, no matter how insane they are.
Post-game Adam Gase said that he wanted to get the ball in the hands of Kenyan Drake more, but the Jets covered him well..... DRAKE IS A FUCKING RUNNING BACK and Frank Gore got 20 carries (for 53 yards) to Drake's 3.
The Dolphins should fire Gase at season's end if not sooner.

He wasn't good at catching the ball short and was absolutely awful after the catch. I don't think our offense utilized him to the best of his abilities.
