Yes we did because their backup QB was very bad, bad enough that we could have taken knees on offense the entire game and maybe still had a chance to win.

Watch some of the "highlights" if you don't believe me. It was one of the worst performances ever even by a 5th round rookie standards

He tried to lateral a ball on a run and ended up throwing an illegal forward pass out of bounds.

Stared down his receivers all game.

Would spin around 2-3 times running backwards and get sacked.

The only points they scored was because he underthrew a pass so badly that Stephens ran into the receiver

Their coaches did not help him with their gameplan. They needed to try to force a defensive stalemate and see which team beat itself first.

Oh I'm not upset about the game at all except for us getting sacked out of field goal range twice. I thought we were going to lose for sure but with Watson being out and his backup being terrible and Lamar being on point when he needed to be, it was what you would expect from a game like this.

okay but in the real world, the Ravens were really good on both sides of the ball today, even with something like eight starters not playing. Probably because they're a well-coached team with a star QB and solid depth.

I'm not saying we weren't good today I'm just saying our problems are very much still there and Harbaugh isn't suddenly this great coach just because we beat a team with a horrible backup. Just like beating a struggling Cincinnati in week 2 didn't mean our problems we saw against Houston were all gone and suddenly going to trounce the Colts easily at home playing a much better backup.

Pittsburgh seems actually very bad though so we should win that game too. But we still don't measure up to teams like SF, Dallas, Miami, Buffalo, Detroit, Seattle, Philadelphia, KC, and LA Chargers. Even when healthy we aren't there and Harbaugh is part of the reason for that.

Big reason is because he started with the fruits of Ozzie Newsome's peak years as a GM. He came into a rare situation where he wasn't taking over a dumpster fire of a franchise but a really strong roster after Billick got fired for one horrendous year losing to the winless Dolphins. And then the Ravens weirdly hired a SP teams coach who never was a coordinator in the NFL. I don't know why the Ravens did that. But if he had gone to some team like Dallas or Cleveland etc he would be treated like the joke he is.

Yes people say he's a bad passer but he's not. His issues are he's sometimes slow to make his reads and the ball security and sometimes bad decision making. But as a passer he really is as good as anyone especially this year.

I think everyone watching that was like "oh god drat it intercepted!" but he put it in the exact right spot.

Again if Kliff Kingsbury or somebody like that had taken over the 08 Ravens he'd be in exactly the same spot as Harbaugh right now or better. Most guys would have succeeded with that. Plus he never had to have Boller as QB.

So you're saying that coaching has literally nothing to do with a team's success? Because Kliff is a dogshit coach

No I'm saying Harbaugh didn't need to be as good because he had such a solid situation to start with with Rex Ryan and that defense plus got Flacco and Ray Rice right away. And just let Cam Cameron do stuff then wouldn't fire Cameron until the Ravens lost to Washington and Bisciotti got mad so he did and then Jim Caldwell won him a SB by using Anquan Boldin correctly.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
NFC has both the only two undefeated teams (Eagles, 49ers) and the only two winless teams (Bears, Panthers). The AFC has much more parity.

Hell, the entire AFC South is a beautiful 2-2.

Why not? A head coach isn't going to be as actively involved in the finer details of offensive or defensive gameplanning as they would have been when they were OCs/DCs. A lot of head coaching is knowing how to delegate (and to who), how to keep the team focused and on the same page, and how to recognize problems and solve them using authority from above instead of having internal struggles.

Turns out that's also a lot of what ST coordinators do, and special teams coaches are typically involved with the entire team instead of just one side of the ball. There's a reason Rich Bisaccia is super respected among the league and why he's now the assistant head coach for the Packers.
