The 1-3 Ravens have a lot of problems. Here are the biggest.

30.09.2025 17:25 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The comments from our subscribers on this story are pretty interesting. It feels like the general feeling is weariness of Harbaugh, but in varying degrees:
30.09.2025 17:09 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0There will be a time when the Ravens have to decide if John Harbaugh has taken them as far as he can go. Itβs not now.
Although itβs clear many fans would like to see Harbaugh fired after a 1-3 start, it wouldnβt be the teamβs best option β yet: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...
Harbaugh on the tough start: "Yeah, we have been down these roads. ... The fans have been down these roads. ... It's a tough league, and there's gonna be challenges. That's why it's so meaningful when you can come through the other side and have success."
29.09.2025 18:50 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Harbaugh emphasizes a key on offense is to run more plays. They've been in the 50s, and they want to get ot more offensive snaps: "Running the ball was a big part of our plan in that game, but we just didn't do it."

Madubuike was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with a neck injury
John Harbaugh said he has confidence in Zach Orr. He thought the defense was put in compromising position by injuries and field position yesterday: We're not too far away on defense. I really have confidence we're going to play defense this year.
29.09.2025 18:36 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 4 π 2John Harbaugh said Nnamdi Madubuike is out for the year on IR with his neck injury.

I agree. I think this organization owes him a quick decision if heβs the guy, and he should not be required to interview again.
"We're disappointed. I'm sure fans are disappointed too"
Last night, Kyle Hamilton retracted the comment he made earlier in the week about Ravens fans being "spoiled"
The Ravens locker room was quiet, somber and lacking leaders β and answers.

Decimated Ravens locker room has few leaders to answer questions on or off the field
29.09.2025 03:10 β π 1 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0I wanted to rip Kyle Hamilton in the wake of an ugly loss in Kansas City, mere days after he said βRavens fans can seem a little bit spoiled.β
But I actually think if you could pick one guy for the impossible job of fixing this defense, itβs him. Hereβs why: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...
Kyle Hamilton's full opening statement after the 37-20 loss today to the Chiefs, first apologizing for his "spoiled" Ravens fans comment, then shouting out everybody in the defense who had to come in for injuries:
29.09.2025 00:37 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Just my opinion, and Iβve covered a lot of athletes over the years β Kyle Hamilton is one of the most thoughtful and mature-for-his-age guys Iβve seen in pro sports. Not an easy podium after a quote that got backlash and a dispiriting loss. He owned it all. That is truly rare.
29.09.2025 00:04 β π 24 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0Kyle Hamilton starts his postgame comments by apologizing to the fans that the Ravens havenβt been performing to standard, and he says he used poor wording when he described Ravens fans as βspoiledβ and wants to retract it. He wants to play at a level that makes fans proud.
28.09.2025 23:54 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 0 π 2Chiefs 37, Ravens 20: Itβs probably time to panic
28.09.2025 23:29 β π 4 π 1 π¬ 1 π 1How embarrassing, the 1-2 Chiefs cleared the bench against a team that many (including myself) thought had Super Bowl potential. Soon-to-be 2-2 Chiefs.
28.09.2025 23:09 β π 15 π 2 π¬ 3 π 0Ravens who have left this game with injury:
β QB Lamar Jackson (questionable)
β LB Roquan Smith (out)
β LT Ronnie Stanley (questionable)
β CB Marlon Humphrey (out)
β CB Nate Wiggins (carted to locker room)
Thanks for reading and following along this season. π« π« π«
28.09.2025 22:51 β π 34 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Tyler Loop has kicked in the landing zone so far all day, which is an improvement, but the kick coverage has looked pretty vulnerable. 48-yard return that time for Kansas City.
28.09.2025 22:30 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0No Marlon Humphrey and no Roquan Smith for the rest of this game against the Chiefs. I think that Kansas City scoring drive is a good forecast for how the rest of the game looks.

Somehow, that actually could have been worse. And it might get worse depending on some of these injuries.
