OTL: Ravens Doomed by Organizational Stubbornness

I’m not going to beat a dead horse today – We know the Ravens got hosed multiple times on Sunday afternoon. All the same, they had numerous opportunities to take over their matchup with Pittsburgh and failed to do so.

Ultimately, this Baltimore Ravens team just isn’t that good.

If you need more proof, take a look at their wins this season:

Yes, there’s a very real chance that they still make the playoffs.

Yes, if they somehow pull off the run necessary to do it then they’ll have the talent to continue that run into January. Is that likely to happen? I don’t think so.

So, while I’ve tried to give the organization the benefit of the doubt for most of the season, I’ve officially turned attention to next steps.

It seems a large chunk of the Ravens Flock has, as well:

It’s not just Ravens fans, either. Yahoo! Sports’ Frank Schwab highlights why HC John Harbaugh may have a hotter seat than any other coaches in the league. It’s an interesting read:

In my opinion, both Harbaugh and GM Eric DeCosta deserve blame for the fundamental flaws of the 2025 Baltimore Ravens. That said, I believe DeCosta’s previous roster construction and the fact that Baltimore started the season as Super Bowl favorites lends him a longer leash.

Harbaugh, on the other hand, may have met the end of his. Let’s not forget: Harbaugh benefitted from a 2012 Super Bowl win and a 180-degree turnaround when QB Lamar Jackson replaced the struggling Joe Flacco in 2018.

As Yuri highlights, the gripes fans have had with Harbaugh this year are issues we’ve had for years:

First and foremost, Harbaugh’s staff has failed to deliver on its promise. While OC Todd Monken had a hot start to his tenure in Charm City, the offense looks disjointed. We’ll get to that soon. On the defensive side, DC Zach Orr’s unit has improved but is unable to turn the ball over or generate pressure. Remember, these were focal points for the staff this offseason:

Alongside the fact that Baltimore’s staff is either not on the same page or struggling to executive according to Harbaugh’s vision, his time management and game-flow decision-making have been a perennial issue.

Even Sunday, with the game on the line, this reared its head:

Next, of course, is his stubbornness. I know I said I won’t beat a dead horse, but I will when it comes to Daniel Faalele, who for some inexplicable reason continues to be supported by the staff. Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson went in about this a few days ago, but the tape speaks for itself:

But again, favoritism is a consistent theme with Harbaugh at the helm:

Remember just a few months back when Keaton Mitchell couldn’t find the field?

Most importantly, however, it seems Harbaugh’s message is falling on deaf ears. While there’s little evidence to prove this, the play and development of non-stars across the Ravens roster speaks volumes to me:

While some of this falls on the players, motivation has to be a factor, as well.

At the end of the day, while this might’ve seemed like a rant, it’s time for Steve Bisciotti to incite change in Baltimore. Otherwise, a catastrophic one might be inevitable:
