with the state of this defence, if Lamar misses any time over the next few weeks we might be staring down the barrel

EDC is part of the problem though. He has neglected both lines and our struggles on offense are the direct result of his decision making

This to me is the biggest issue over everything else. There's no fire in this team. They've given up. That's when you gotta make big changes.

I will play Devil's Advocate here and say I am not sure/ready to blame Eric yet. I say that because he has been here a lot longer than Harbaugh. Also, any GM will involve the HC in personnel management as a good GM likely wouldn't want to give a HC someone they don't want. The GM would also likely work with the HC to prioritize positions.
DeCosta shares blame without a doubt, but I'm not sure I'm ready to place a weight of it on him. He still has to work with the HC on personnel to ensure they fit the team vision.

The Defense actually come out playing well to start the game. The Offense played well to start the game. They give you hope early and look good. The problem is when this Ravens team gets punched in the mouth, they recoil and do not adjust. That is the identity of this team so far this year.
i dont know that it's going to happen in-season, but if something doesn't change i could definitely see this heading towards an inevitable parting of ways at the end of the season

Anyone that can muster the courage to watch the after game presser please let me know what Harbaugh says.

That's fair. I'd also look at where the team has spent their 1st's. Two S, Three Wr, C, LB, Edge. Most of their picks have be on non-premium positions. Taking Starks was a head scratcher. You're never going to pay two Safeties, so it's most likely going to be 4/5 seasons then he's out the door.
I do think, on balance, he's done a good job. I think he deserves a chance to select his own coach
I'm aware firing your coach means you don't win this year, but we aren't anyway, so why not get ahead of it and become the most attractive gig around?

Like I said what's the worse that can happen we continue to lose??

When the players quit on the game , it’s time to remove the head coach.
Yes it’s as simple as that .

I'm trying but I can't hear any audio.

i think it's truly best case we maximize losses. We need game changing talent at edge and you can only get it drafting top 10. Line needs to be rebuilt too

I can see that, I'm just at the point after the last two weeks where I want a completely new regime here. Ideally one that is going to focus on the o-line
So tough we missed out on ben Johnson, bill b, Pete Carroll - who's a potential fit for next year?
Can we move on from Marlon and ro after the season? Does it save any money
Players I never want to see back
-those 2

Stanley's getting there too, depending on his injury did we let this guy Rob us a second time ?

When Billick was fired , the players had quit on the team.
We are at this flashpoint now with Harbaugh.
It’s time to move on. , Harbaugh will never beat KC or Buffalo .

We worry about hoarding too many dang draft picks. I rather have 2-3 great picks. Then 5-6 potentially good picks. But what do I know? Nothing about drafting for sure.
