WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Now that Cam is gone, who is going to show Joe Flacco the proper technique to use when taking a knee with the score tied, time on the clock, a timeout left and one of the best place kickers in the game?

They should fire Flacco, he is a second/third tier QB, without the mental agility to carry a NFL offense he can only QB on a team with an excellent injhurt-free defense that covers his total incompetence

It's about time! Hopefully Jim Caldwell will use a more balanced attack utilizing Ray Rice and the running backs who have proven themselves time and again. They were doing a great job in the first half yesteday then Cam decided to shut them down and throw the ball and the game away. I hate to see a late season shake up,but it may be the only way they can make it through the playoffs.

can he take flacco with him

Amen!! The play calling has been absurd this year, not that Flacco's performance has been much better. Add those two to an offensive line that lets people crush Flacco causing his fumbles and you've got serious problems. Did I mention that the pass defense sucks as does the tackling in general? Much as I love the Ravens, they are team with major fundamental flaws in both directions. I predict the Bronco's will crush them and they may lose to the Giants and even the Bengals. Super Bowl? Not for a long time.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!

This is a really strange development. I'd be angry if I were a Ravens fan. The timing is poor, and Caldwell as OC isn't going to make Flacco any better. This would've been a better call in the offseason, you know?
Rice ran for 120 yards and the team had an additional 50 or so on top of that yesterday.
Firing Cameron now just strikes me as irrational, like King Harbaugh is manufcturing fall guys ahead of time.
For a franchise like the Ravens which generally does their business 'the right way' this is an odd detour.

If I am the defensive coordinator I hear footsteps. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Two blown leads in a row?

Falco better find out where the pocket is - Quickly

If I owned the team and they had just blown the (2nd) chance at clinching the division, home feild advantage, and the championship. Someones head would roll..
No one wants to spill the beans on Hardbough but altimatly he is the Head coach!
I hope it was his call on Camron and not Biscotti I would have more respect for him to make change. We can talk injuries all you want on both sides of the ball but every team at this point is dealing with Injuries, JMO

Should have happened at the end of last year. Harbaugh realizes that he can no longer protect Cameron without putting his self at risk. Too bad we had to wait until the season is nearly over.

It was going to happen at the end of last season but Harbaugh interjected on Cameron's behalf. Bischotti relented and said he would give Cameron one more year.

Before Cam Cameron, Matt Cavanaugh was the problem.

The new OC can't do anything about the dumb turnovers, penalties, soft defense, and 64 yard punt returns. The Ravens have scored enough points to win the games they lost even with the lackluster offense and mistakes.

The defense is going to get pounded by Denver next week and there's nothing that Caldwell will be able to do about it. The only thing saving the defensive coordinator is that he will be given some slack because of all the injuries. That prevent defense they played in the 4th quarter when RGIII was obviously hobbled and hurt was idiotic. One or two all out blitzes would have ended the game.

Not sure how this is going to help the 24th rated defense.

They need to fire Flacco, he is only good enough to be what he was drafted for, a backup, he doesn't have the mental agility to run an NFL offense without an excellant injury-free defense his incompetance is glaring.

I agree with his firing, but what I'd really like to see is Flacco benched! Or any of the players who really screw up on the field. But Flacco looks disinterested in being on the field or for that matter at the stadium. He looks like he needs about 5-6 Five Hour Energy drinks. If a player can't make the throw or a receiver can't catch the ball then sit them on the bench! Give somebody else a chance. It' s not the coach's fault, it the players who can't perform.

It comes down to quarterback play. 4 top quarterbacks with teams in contention:

It will ultimately come down to: AFC BRADY VS. MANNING
NFC ROGERS VS. MANNING

These are the big boys. They make average coaches look great, average players look great. They arrived with their teams by pure luck, except for Peyton - Elway was willing to sign a possibly injured Peyton for the chance to win a Super Bowl. He knows the value of a top QB.

They are the best of the best.

Then you have the second tier, Ben, Brees, RGIII (he is coming up quick) and Luck. Not as good as the Big 4 - but sure can win a championship with these folks.

Flacco is in that third tier. Schaub, Flacco, Ryan, Cutler, Romo and maybe 5 or 6 others. Can look good, but can look like scrubs also. Schaub looks like a big time scrub tonight. Not sure you can win a championship with this tier. Does anyone believe Schaub even at home can beat Brady and Manning in a playoff game. I will put my money on Brady or Manning all day.

Problem is - let Flacco leave, and we could be in trouble unless we get lucky and a top young QB falls into our lap.

Coaching can only do so much. As Charles Barkley said, "It is more about Freds and Joes and not X's and O's."

we will bounce back. 3 games left and the playoffs

I don't think Joe will be back next year. I think another team will offer him more money. He's a proven winner. We should have been in two Superbowls had it not been for our receivers dropping passes. The Ravens offensive line has sucked big time for the past two years and defense is becoming worn down. I don't think Drue Breeze or Erin Rodgers would have done much better with our offensive line and the receivers we have. I'm thinking if the Ravens will ever return to a top five defensive team, it's going to take 3-5 years. The offensive line is going to take at least 3 more years to rebuild also. Can you blame Joe for leaving with our Offensive line and Defense in such disarray? When he's gone, all the Flacco haters will be crying when Joe wins his first Superbowl in another uniform!

I realize that the offense does need work, but wasn't it the defense that allowed a back-up quarterback to come in, cold off the bench, and score on them?

Cameron is gone! What can it hurt!

Biggest problem is not an offense that can put up 28 points against a tough defense... it is a defense that couldn't stop a dandelion puff from floating on by.

If our wide receivers could grow a foot taller they might be able to catch more of Flacco's passes! Flacco should be next to go.

Maybe Harbaugh became too close to his players.
Maybe Flacco doesn't inspire the team. Rarely see him on the sideline with anyone. He seems to sulk by himself. It's contagious as a supposed Leader of the team.
Wish I had the answers, I'd apply for the coaches job.
The players seem to be playing hard, but the combination of mistakes and losing is contageous to the teams ability to come together.
They do have the talent on the field, they just need to get it in their individual heads.

What took soooooooo long?

The offense will do a little better in the no-huddle, but the Ravens' real problem lies with the defense. Baltimore needs the offense to stay on the field longer in order to keep its clueless defense on the sideline. Oh, and Mr. Rice, no more bicep poses, please; it makes you look like a self-absorbed moron. The NFL started going downhill a long time ago.

Cameron's play calling had mostly become predictable by other teams. Example: Ravens have ball at or inside their own twenty - he almost always called two running plays and a pass. And if Flacco is really any good he should be free to analyse a defense and change the play when he chooses to. There needs to be trust between the coordinator and the quarterback. As the formerly famed Ravens defense succumbs to injury and age, the offense needs to step up and score more.

It's about time! There have been communication issues between Cameron and Flacco since last year....now, let the Ravens handle there business and clinch a playoff birth!! Go RAVENS!!

I have to agree with Tim.....I'm not a Ravens fan with the weapons the team has I just don't understand why they don't win it all....
I just think this firing was bad timing! I could see it if they were the Cardinals....but, at 9 and 4....COME ON!.....is this Harbaughs way of side stepping the blame.
