    Ha... so no other Champ team has ever given a Gatorade bath to a coach during the season?

    In my opinion you should worry about the Steelers end of season record and how it compares to the Ravens and not worry about a presser for the Ravens. Stir stir stir the pot.

    John Harbaugh is incapable of PREPARING FOR SUCCESS, and it trickles down (I wonder if he is altogether ignored in some circles in the locker room). I am curious as to your take from a Steeler bent - do you think the talent is there, and it is the leadership that is failing?
    The Pats have no D and the Steelers found a way to frustrate them which I think they can duplicate. The Jets haven't regained last years level of play yet and Sanchez is struggling. I am not buying the Texans yet and now Schaub is hurt. Bengals will not survive the stretch run...so, if my team is getting back to the Super Bowl, they are going to have to beat or outlast the Ravens. Ravens won a blow out and a close, come from behind road game against the Steelers. Do I think they have enough talent to win the AFC? Heck, ya. As a Steeler fan, I think to myself..."we have to contain Ray Rice, we have to contain Ray Rice"...but the guy is under-used. Why? Flacco had a nice drive to end that last game...but I would take that same scenario in a play-off game if it were offered....92 yds for a TD...and I would bet money. I don't think thats the Ravens formula for play-off win. They need a lead and a lot of Ray Rice. Both the Steelers and Ravens have flaws but in my opinion they are the two best teams in the AFC...and if coaching tips the scales in the Post Season Tourny...well, I like our chances. A gatorade bath in the AFC Championship game is appropriate...hope Tomlin ends up wet and cold.

    I am not "worried' about it. I happen to think its a good thing for my team.

    First, I am not upset over it. I thought it was revealing of the Ravens mindset. Harbaugh is the one that creates the mindset and atmosphere that leads to that event happening. Second, the wins against the Steelers were big wins. I don't think the Ravens suck, I think they are a darn good football team. Heck, half the time I think my opinion of your team is higher than most of your own fans. That drive by Flacco and company was exactly the kind of thing it takes to win a championship. But those wins are gonna be fairly hollow if your team watches the Steelers advance further in the play-offs again. Maybe I will be dead wrong, maybe the Ravens will win it all this year...it wouldn't shock me...but gatorade baths at mid-season aren't helping them get there.
    I dont think its a bad thing for a team to have fun and be emotional. It takes that to win sometimes. his fault isnt that he allows this team to get emotional, its that he cant wrangle them back in after such a performance. I guess you can say he shouldnt be allowed to let the game get so personal for them, but at the same time i think thats one of the reasons we beat the Steelers twice this year. They took it personal and the Steelers comments on Flacco helped fuel that. I said myself on here, if we beat the Steelers twice but miss the playoffs it didnt mean anything. I dont see that happening personally because I think were just a better team this year, but obviously Harbaugh has to bring in the reigns to make sure they focus after wins, whether they pour gatorade on him or not.

    You are right about the emotion not being a bad thing. But its up to a coach to know what works and doesn't work for his team. So far the evidence this season is that the Ravens have looked like a second tier team in their post-Steeler match-ups. We all know the talent is there, so what is it? Maybe, rather than dumping confetti and releasing balloons, this team needs to walk off the field with their heads held high, go to the mic and say, "That was a good win for us today, now we have to get ready for Seattle."

    It worked against Pittsburgh. we needed that win. If the other option is to lose to Pitt and beat Seattle, Ill take the conference and division win everytime. We still have the inside track for home field advantage because of the wins against Pitt not our loss to Seattle. Not that the Seattle loss doesnt hurt us.

    Before Pitt won their first SB with Roethlisberger they were every bit as emotional and wasteful with their Gatorade. A lot of that was for your monikers last season. your talking about the difference between a team that has won compared to a young team thats still hungry to win their first one. Could they act like theyve been there before? maybe, but they havent and thats why it matters so much for them. All of them.

    I dont remember confetti and balloons in Heinz Field, but Id agree that might be a little excessive for a visiting team's win. then again they did think they already won with 2 minutes to go so it probably wasnt for us anyway. :)

    Thats fine, you can have it,...and I will take a Bill Bellicheck, Joe Torre, Scotty Bowman, Tony Larrusa, Phil Jackson, Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll, Mike Tomlin type team that takes a win in stride, moves forward and wins titles.

    Re: Is Harbaugh Andy Reid lite?

    Reid was QB coach for Bret Favre and now called all they plays for eagles. Harbaugh is special team coach who contribute nothing to the Ravens.

    Well thats where I agree with your argument. Moving forward is the problem. Right after the game Is the start of their day off though. They can start moving forward when theyre back watching game film.

    Majority if not all of those coaches have multiple Rings. go back to their first wins and youll see every bit of what were talking about right here (minus the robot Bellicheck). If the Ravens win this year, and continue to act like pivotal regular season games are bigger victories than they are, Id completely agree with you. you have to start somewhere and you cant act like youve been there before if youve never been.

    Explain this Harbaugh

    Ray Rice fumbles the ball once in the Jax game for the first time in however many carries. (it was a lot of carries) Then, Harbaugh benches Rice.

    Last week, David Reed, who has a history of fumbleitis, fumbles the kick off. Then, Harbaugh puts him right back out there again.

    How does that make any sense? You bench your best offensive player that rarely fumbles, but you put a marginal player with a history of fumbling back out there to receive kicks.

    Re: Is Harbaugh Andy Reid lite?

    I don't understand all the hate for John Harbaugh. If we win, we credit all the players. If we lose, we blame all the coaches. I think we have a pretty good understanding of what happend in all of our losses.

    Titans: Absolutely horrible gameplan and play all around. Secondary was torched. Foxworth showed he should be benched. He was later IR'ed.

    Blame: Whole Team

    Jaguars: Cam's worse playcalling game of the year. Also, offensive line's worst play of the year.

    Blame: Cam and the O-Line.

    Seahawks: I don't think I need to spell this one out. David Reed's 2 fumbles on KR's and unsportsmanlike conduct penalty really held us back on this one. Add that to the fact that the defense was trying to strip the ball every time instead of tackeling. Carr was abused. As for Cam's playcalling, I think he should have definitely utilized Rice more; however, the passing was definitely nessecary when your down double digits. A lot of dropped balls.

    Blame: Hate to blame it on one guy, but David Reed really took that cake for this one.

    Overall, our team plays significantly better with Grubbs in the lineup. I really expect for this team to win out with the way they're playing. I don't see how Harbs can take the heat for any of those games, I really don't.

    Rice didn't get benched in the Jags game.
