Trots Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 After a 6-10 season last year, they currently sit at 11-3. Where is the love? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. I think that they will treat this week vs Pittsburgh as a bye week and lay down to the Steelers as Indy and San Diego have an easy finish and a clear path to first round byes. A tough playoff schedule for Baltimore may set up as Cincy or Jax at home, then at Indy, then at San Diego. The Ravens could win all or none of these games as the AFC is deep and tough.

H8tank Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I agree, the ravens cannot beat any of those teams. If somehow cleveland makes it into the playoffs... then yes... you have a chance. Otherwise, looking at the playoff probable teams? None I see Balt can beat on paper.... but any given sunday... dare to dream son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The only people who have given the Ravens credit this year on this board are the diehard Pittsburgh Steeler fans who somehow thought the Ravens achieved invincible status by destroying their sub-par team before losing to to the Bengals the following week. Ravens got a definite shot and are under the radar. They should feed off that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens have already beaten the Chargers this year and can only hope that they GET to play the Jags, they would only be so lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think the Raven come out and hit Sheetburgh in the mouth. Our team is soar and would love the bye week, and we've never swept the Steelers. This is a chance to do both, with a little help from the Seahawks. We are a top 4 team, worse case right now. As I see it, going to San Diego or anything against the Bengals are my two biggest playoff worries. Colts, Broncos, Pats and whoever that other WC team is don't really worry me. It's Festivus in Baltimore again. Festivus Maximus is now the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Misfit Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Congratulations on winning the Thoughest Division in the NFL. And thanks for keeping that title away from the Pittsburgh Menundos for the second consecutive year (and counting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the Ravens are the most unexciting team in the playoff hunt. I compare them to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC for teams I most hate to watch on the tube.

loaf Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 well, since there's about 15 folks who are fans of the AFC North, it's not surprising. If this were Dallas, there would be 30 posts about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I don't think anyone wants to face the Ravens in the playoffs. They're going to be a tough out. They gamble a lot on D, but if they get on a roll and those gambles pay off for a couple of weeks in a row they could find themselves in the Superbowl again. On the flip side, if they gamble and lose they could be eliminated by just about any of the the other AFC contenders. I guess I'm trying to say that they have as good a shot as anyone to take the Conference title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have enough of a runnin game anymore (Lewis is so pedestrian now), but I wouldn't count this team out. San Diego-starting a rookie QB. Ravens match up very well with this team New England-Pulease...Detroit almost beat them, Miami shut them out, and Ron Dayne almost had 100 yards on them. Indy-Horrible defense Denver-Rookie QB, the game would be in B-More Explain to me why the Ravens are not a favorite? Sure, San Diego is really good, but it's not like Baltimore didn't beat them this year or anything. And the Ravens will do a much better job of containing LT, meaning it's the Keenan McCardell and erick Parker show. Woooo, Im sure the Ravens are scare of that. Rivers, while being a great young QB, wont be able to hand it off all night against the Ravens. Ravens are one of the best teams in football. Wish they had a better runnin gback.
