It’s been a rough start to the season for the Baltimore Ravens and their fans, marked by a 41-40 Week 1 loss, a plethora of injuries to their defense, and underwhelming play.
Now, Ravens fans are taking to X to express their frustration, pushing for the team to make a key personnel change.
Baltimore Ravens Fans Express Frustration, Ask Franchise To Fire Key Coach
In Week 5, the Ravens hosted the Houston Texans and were obliterated, losing 44-10. The fans have officially seen enough, calling for the team to make a major change.
Of course, the Ravens are the most injured team in football, with the following players ruled out in Week 5:
- ILB Roquan Smith
- CB Chidobe Awuzie
- QB Lamar Jackson
- S Kyle Hamilton
- FB Patrick Ricard
- CB Marlon Humphrey
- OT Ronnie Stanley
As you can see, they’re missing a number of key defenders, including Smith, Hamilton, and Humphrey. Not to mention that Nnamdi Madubuike was placed on injured reserve last week.
Still, the fans have had enough, calling for the team to fire defensive coordinator Zach Orr.
“Zach Orr better be fired as soon as the game is over #RavensFlock,” one fan said.

Heading into Week 5, the Ravens were allowing 33.3 points (most in the NFL), 141.3 rushing yards (sixth), and 265.5 passing yards (second) per game.
They’ve even set a bad franchise record. The Ravens have given up 35-plus points in four out of their first five games this season. That’s already the most games allowing 35-plus points in a season in franchise history.
Additionally, according to PFSN’s Defense Impact metric, the Ravens ranked third-worst with a 62.9 grade.
With all the inactive players, the Ravens allowed 44 more points, which will only increase their per-game total, including four touchdown passes from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud.
To the point, the Texans were averaging just 16 points per game, which is fourth-least in the NFL.
As for the offense, backup quarterback Cooper Rush tossed three interceptions, and running back Derrick Henry ran 15 times for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Now, the Ravens are 1-4 and have a home game in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, another game in which, at the very least, Jackson will miss.
This means that, ahead of their Week 7 bye, the Ravens could be 1-5 with their only win coming at home in Week 2 against the lowly Cleveland Browns.
This season is just going from bad to worse for Baltimore. They had just a 26.1% chance of winning the division heading into Week 5. Expect that to be even worse following this performance.
