Observations From the Cheap Seats
To criticize John Harbaugh for his clock management or ill-advised challenges is fair. It hasn’t been a strong suit of his as the sideline skipper. But no one could ever criticize Harbaugh for not having his teams ready to play. Regardless of the situation or standings, the Ravens under his guidance, buckle up their chin straps and play hard.
At times Harbaugh has been loyal to a fault, particularly with suspect coordinators. But loyalty is a two-way street and it’s pretty apparent that it comes back his way as it relates to the dedication of his players and coaches.
