Has The John Harbaugh Era Gone Stale in Baltimore?

The Second Sign: A lack of accountability:

There was a time when Harbaugh’s dog house was the scariest place a player could be. When a Ravens player messed up, that’s where he went. When a player made a stupid mistake, like fumble the ball or commit a dumb penalty, Harbaugh wasn’t having it. It’s almost as if going the hard way is condoned. It seems like Harbaugh cannot instill discipline into his team. We have to stop and wonder if the team’s unraveling dismay is simply a reflection of a head coach that has lost his grip on his winning ways.

When you commit 16 penalties in a football game there is a problem. When you have to call a time out on a critical third down (because you have no clue what you’re about to do) there is a problem. Most importantly, when your team gets off to a 10 point lead against a team that has lost three straight games, and loses, the coach has to take responsibility.

It seems as if every week players make the dumbest mistakes imaginable. Every week the Ravens invent ways to make things difficult. It just seems that each and every week is the Ravens attempt at having their most frustrating game. In the heat of desperation Harbaugh fired Marc Trestman. However since the beginning of the 2015 season, that may be the only thing that has changed. When just scraping by is okay, sometimes this team will cut it a little too close.
