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

There’s a lot wrong with a Ravens team that was a hot preseason pick to win the Super Bowl. The biggest? Their pass rush.

The comments from our subscribers on this story are pretty interesting. It feels like the general feeling is weariness of Harbaugh, but in varying degrees:

There will be a time when the Ravens have to decide if John Harbaugh has taken them as far as he can go. It’s not now.

Although it’s clear many fans would like to see Harbaugh fired after a 1-3 start, it wouldn’t be the team’s best option — 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."

Harbaugh 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."

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.

Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad is undergoing treatment for a medical condition, Mike Elias said, and he’s responding favorably to treatments and he’ll be in spring training. Elias declined to specify what the medical condition is

Tony Mansolino described his interim coaching tenure as a challenging 4-month interview to be the permanent manager for the Orioles.

I agree. I think this organization owes him a quick decision if he’s the guy, and he should not be required to interview again.

The Ravens locker room was quiet, somber and lacking leaders — and answers.

“I don’t think nothing was clicking for us today,” wide receiver Rashod Bateman said. “It’s been a tough past couple of weeks.”

I wanted to rip Kyle Hamilton in the wake of an ugly loss in Kansas City, mere days after he said “Ravens fans can seem a little bit spoiled.”

But I actually think if you could pick one guy for the impossible job of fixing this defense, it’s him. Here’s 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:

Just my opinion, and I’ve covered a lot of athletes over the years — Kyle Hamilton is one of the most thoughtful and mature-for-his-age guys I’ve 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.

Kyle Goon @kylegoon.bsky.social · 10d

Kyle Hamilton starts his postgame comments by apologizing to the fans that the Ravens haven’t been performing to standard, and he says he used poor wording when he described Ravens fans as “spoiled” and wants to retract it. He wants to play at a level that makes fans proud.

How 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.
