Name an actual position or PM me. Back up your claim.

Think what you want. I don't need to prove anything to some hack internet troll
Sorry you posted an opinion piece to back up your own fabricated lie. I had direct access and that's all you need to know. Have fun trolling for the rest of the night

They didn't get the guys they wanted and now we know why they wanted Johnson and Stafford first because they would probably be a in a better place but it is what it is. The hope is Carroll can at least get the team pointing in the right direction in the 2nd half of the season so they have something to build off for the 2026 season.

Plan B, C, D.
Why?
Exhibit A…

Tapout accepted, liar.

I posted it last week, (paraphrasing it): we built the Offense especially in reverse. Adding the offensive skill positions but not having a QB to utilize them.

The thing is that's not new. We've done that for decades. And the one time we didn't, we stayed with Carr 5 years past the point of his warranty expiring. Add in only drafting seven QBs since 2000 and here we are. Man looking them over is depressing: Tuiasosopo, Walter, Russell, Wilson, Carr, AOC, and Miller. We know what we have with AOC; Miller likely isnt going anywhere either.

As far as the Head Coaches? From 2000-2011 no competent HC was coming here with the Old Man meddling. Now? Well...it's not like Mark Davis is much more appealing as a boss.

He knows how to build a winning team. Better days are ahead.

Not one aspect of the team has improved under Pete and several areas have gotten worse.

Flacco won a Super Bowl. Let's trade for him!

Those accomplishments are more than a decade ago (Super Bowl) and two decades old (BCS Title).

I don’t understand how the ST is so bad, we really did give up a return for TD today.That penalty on Indy was pretty weak.

How can the coverage teams be this bad in one season.

On a side note I’d like to know what team has given up the most 3rd and 8+ yards to go for first downs since PG took over here. I can’t imagine it’s not us.

Because the ST coach is not good at his job.

Next.

I am hoping it's one of those it will get worse before it gets better situations.

Thats how I see it too after 5 games.

My take though is it takes time to build a championship team of players, coaches and assistant coaches.

I am not impressed with our offensive coordinator and play calling thus far. They have to get that figured out SOON!

This guy needs a timeout

It’s not even about a championship at this point, it’s about building a culture of competitiveness. I’m not sure I see that happening right now. I see a staff and roster built on comfort and convenience. Pete brought in Geno because it was easy and didn’t take any ingenuity. Spytek and Pete brought in guys they know because it was convenient and easier than scouring league wide. Our organization took the lazy route this offseason, this is not how you build a championship team.

We're officially back to Al's final days; no one wants to come here and there will be better options for the best candidates to go to. It looks ugly and now and odds are it's going to stay that way considering the last 2+ decades, but starting over every year is no answer either.

This GM and HC have had one offseason to begin to right the ship. We need to see how it's going to play out.

How the hell did we beat the Pats...they seem to know how to rebuild!!!
