Lamar Jackson's Ravens are still going backwards despite having a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback at their helm. The Steelers' latest win over Baltimore was a classic example of how to play big football, with both teams making huge plays and poor decisions that ultimately decided the game.
For years, Harbaugh's strategic vision has dimmed, and his team has been unable to capitalize on Jackson's prime. They've lost in the wildcard round, divisional round, and conference championship games, failing to make the dance despite having a talented roster. The failures are starting to blur together, and it's clear that Harbaugh doesn't have the goods to make big plays when it matters most.
The Ravens' defense looked unprepared on Sunday, with rookie kicker Tyler Loop missing a crucial 44-yard field goal attempt wide right. It was another example of how Baltimore has struggled in crunch time, particularly with their defense falling apart again.
Harbaugh deserves credit for breathing new life into his tenure by believing in Jackson before the rest of the league woke up to his talent. However, partnerships can grow stale, and Harbaugh's teams have been playing tight when it matters most. The Ravens need something new – a jolt that will shake them out of their complacency.
If Harbaugh is let go, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter could be the name on everyone's lips. If the Ravens step outside the familiar, they might pair Jackson with an offensive mind with fresh ideas, such as Mike McDaniel, Klint Kubiak, or Kliff Kingsbury.
The fact remains that consistency is not enough when working with a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback like Lamar Jackson. Failing to reach the Super Bowl and win one becomes a fireable offense, and the Ravens are still close but getting farther away. When their season ends with a knee and a missed kick, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the moment finally passed Harbaugh by.
The Ravens' struggles this year have been compounded by injuries to key players like Nnamdi Madubuike and Marlon Humphrey, who have made big plays when healthy. The team's offense has also struggled to find its rhythm, with Justin Fields and Lamar Jackson having some inconsistencies in their performance.
Ultimately, the question on everyone's mind is: what's next for the Ravens? Will they stick with Harbaugh and try to make a deep playoff run, or will they go in a different direction to shake off their struggles? One thing is certain – it won't be easy.

.
. The Ravens need a spark, maybe someone with fresh ideas or a different system to help Jackson thrive. Maybe they should consider shaking things up, like bringing in Mike McDaniel or Kliff Kingsbury 
.
. The Ravens are still close, but getting farther away from their goal of winning it all 
. Time will tell what they do next, but I'm just keeping an eye on things, that's all 
.
. John Harbaugh's strategy has been so predictable and stale, its like they're just phoning it in at this point 
. They need a total overhaul of their coaching staff, maybe someone who brings fresh ideas and a new energy to the table 
. And yeah I'm calling it now they'll be out of the playoffs soon 
. Its not even close anymore, Harbaugh needs to go 
️. I mean, Jesse Minter or one of those other OCs could bring some fresh ideas and turn this team around 
and can't get outta that gear anymore. They need a spark, some magic, somethin' to remind 'em why we were all hyped about Lamar Jackson in the first place 
. Until then, they're just another mediocre team tryin' to make a deep playoff run 
Lamar Jackson is literally one of the best QBs ever but Baltimore's front office is just clueless 
They're making all these big changes and it feels like they're trying to solve the same problem over and over again 
I mean, come on guys, consistency isn't going to cut it when you have a talent like Lamar at your helm 
. And Harbaugh's defense is straight trash this season it was like they weren't even trying to stop the Steelers' offense 
. I mean, come on guys, 3rd and 4th quarter meltdowns are becoming a norm under his leadership 
. It's like they're playing a whole different game when it matters most.
. Maybe someone like Jesse Minter or Mike McDaniel who can bring some fresh ideas and shake things up 
.
. The clock is ticking, guys!
