Re: Predict the Ravens Record
It will all come down to injuries. Looking at the schedule the Tampa game will be a big test. Many teams within our division are already having problems. The Bengals need to buy jail uniforms as they can't stay out of trouble. The Steelers will see this year how much the BUS meant to them. Hey the Browns they speak for themselves. Getting back to the Ravens I'm looking at 11-5 or 10-6 and have us making the playoffs. I also look for us to have a playoff game here this year which will be great for all of us. The driving force this year will be veterans who know time is running out and they will play with determination to get to the Super Bowl. MaNair was within 1 yard of being a Super Bowl champion and that will make his fire burn. Let's just hope injuries don't kill the dreams of a successful season.
GO RAVENS

11-5 if my psychic ability is any good :D
I like Dusy's predictions, however I would change this by one game. I do not see us sweeping the Bungles this year. Carson will be back for those games and I say we split with them loosing in Cincy and winning here.
10-6
Assuming the O-line improves over what I have seen so far. After last Thursday's game we have seen three different QBs tripped up by the O-line. Even McNair.
This O-line still needs mucho help! :141847_smmackbottom
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
Dusty - you see us losing to the Steelers at home and beating them in Pittsburgh? Interesting.
I also think we'll split with them but have a feeling it'll be the other way around.
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
Bucs - WIN - This really is a toss up, but I've got to go with a Ravens win...We lost to the Colts in the last opener, but take away Stover's three missed field goal flukes and have Steve McNair at QB and that could be a win. TB is no Indy
Raiders - WIN - another tough one to predict, because Oakland is 2-0 in preseason play. But I think we humiliate Brooks in regular season play...
Browns - WIN - my gut tells me we do better against Cleveland up there.
Chargers - LOSS - By this game, either Rivers has worked out the mistakes, or they're onto another QB. Plus LT is always a menace to deal with.
Broncos - WIN - We almost beat them last year, this time our defense and offense works together.
Panthers - LOSS - Panthers are a damn good team and if they have both Steve Smith and Keyshawn healthy, it's going to be tough to stop passing and/or running.
Saints - WIN - They have a good offense, not so good defense. We have a great defense and a good offense. Done.
Bengals - LOSS - By now, Palmer should be in full swing. I think we keep it close, but damn Chad Johnson is hard to stop.
Titans - WIN - Steve will have fun thrashing his old team with his old receiver.
Falcons - WIN - Unless the Falcs trade Duckett for a decent D starter, I can't see them being able to shut out our offense. Plus we've managed to stop Vick before.
Steelers - LOSS - Ugh, I hate to say that, but I just get the feeling they beat us here.
Bengals - LOSS - The Bengals are our toughest opponent in the AFC North, so they'd be most likely to sweep us.
Chiefs - WIN - LJ and the Chiefs offense isn't doing so well without Saunders. I think we take this one from them.
Browns - LOSS
Steelers - WIN
Bills - WIN - If we're already in the playoffs by this point, McNair, Ogden, Ray will probably not play, so we could lose this. But if we're 9-6 heading into this game, we're probably still fighting for a spot.

I dunno. We haven't won a road game in almost 2 years - something tells me we probably won't go into KC in December and beat them. I think this one's a definite loss.
Of course, Herm Edwards may play a factor just like he did in the last road game we won vs. the Jets. His 2 minute clock management is worse than Billick's.
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
I think 11-5 with losses in Pittsburgh, Cincy, KC, and Tampa, and one loss to the Panthers here.
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
Forgot all that "I am not getting optimistic crap", that is for people who see negativity about everything in life. Go with what you truly feel and don't take of a few wins just so you don't get your hopes up.
I was thinking 10-6 before preseason and have now raised my prediction to 11-5. And yes I am being optimistic that we have no major injuries, especially to McNair, so screw you all ;)
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
I'll go with 10-6 and a wildcard spot, with us winning the first playoff game and losing the second one. Watch out in 2007 though.
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
I say 13-3 with winning the division and home field for the playoffs. SB appearance. Whoever we beat to get to the SB will be better then who we face in the SB. So we win it all this year! ps: Ray retires, JO retires, McNair retires..... lord help us in '07.

Can you pass me the crack pipe?
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
9-7, with a better upside than down.
Re: Predict the Ravens Record
for once I am very optimistic. We have endured injuries and underperforming play the last 2 years. We endured the growing pains of a QB who will probably never get it. We are due. Its our year. This is the one.:179421: :179421: :179421: :179421: :179421: :thumbup: :thumbup:
