A "would you rather" for the Ravens remaining season

Honestly, that could take us all the way to the AFCC.

We could also lose every game, we're that inconsistent.

I literally can't take this mediocre (at best) product anymore. It's painful watching their games. I've reached the end of my tolerance.

Man...if a 5-5 team with a better than average shot at the playoffs in a league ripe with parity is your breaking point then maybe being a sports fan isn't the right hobby for you. For the average fan, it's going to be this bad or worse for at least half of their lifetime.

That's not grounds for firing, that's damn good work. Most coaches couldn't manage it..

I feel like I'm pretty much on an island still supporting Harbaugh lol. But yeah, in the race to proclaim that every single thing is wrong with this team there are obviously things going right and I think he has helped us consistently outplay our talent level in most years. I think he's at the same stage Bill Cowher was in the late 90s - in a bit of a sustained rut, but still capable of a major resurgence as long as a few things are tweaked and a few impulses are restrained.

Maybe he'll retire after so many shutouts?

You're not "on an island". I agree with you. There are very few options available to upgrade over John Harbaugh contrary to a lot of Raven fan's opinions. Even with his recent span of mediocrity, his record to start a career's first 10 years is top 5 all time. This team plays hard for him, always has.
