The Baltimore Ravens were one of the biggest favorites on the board for the Week 2 slate of games in the 2024 NFL season. The Ravens were unable to get the job done at home and were upset by the Las Vegas Raiders. This drops the record to 0-2 so far this year after also losing in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship game.
Many fans were frustrated by the disappointing loss to the Raiders. Some of them went on their X accounts to share their disgust with the performance.
Some fans blamed head coach John Harbaugh:

"Fire John Harbaugh now. Buddy has already ruined multiple years of Lamar's prime and he did it again today," said another.
"We have a coaching problem," replied another.
Others roasted quarterback Lamar Jackson:
"When will we stop pretending that Lamar is ever going to win a Super Bowl," posted another.
"The outcome of paying Lamar millions up front. He doesn't lead the team, nor is he the quarterback that many claim he is," stated another.
The Ravens are now off to the worst two-game start to any season since Lamar Jackson took over as the starting quarterback. They are coming off of a great season last year, where the team went 13-3 during the regular season. He also won his second NFL MVP award and was one game shy of appearing in his first Super Bowl.
John Harbaugh has won a Super Bowl ring during his time as the head coach in Baltimore, but it was before Jackson joined the team. They had high expectations of doing so as a tandem this year after last season's success, but they could be in trouble after an alarming 0-2 start.
John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson's record together with the Ravens
Lamar Jackson joined John Harbaugh on the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the 2018 NFL season after being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. He started seven regular seaosn games during his rookie season and won six of them. As a whole, since the two of them teamed up, they have gone 58-21 in Jackson's regular season starts, which includes this season's losses.
Despite the overall success, it hasn't quite translated to the NFL playoffs yet. In six playoff games together, they have posted just a 2-4 record. This includes losing in the Conference Championship game last year, their best result during their Ravens' partnership.
