Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
Yea but those teams weren't nearly as consistent as ours. Flacco lives in the playoffs. He's never not been to the divisional round of the playoffs...that's ridiculous. Why should next year be any different? Who will be a realstic challenge to us for the AFC crown? Pats? No we have their number. Steelers? They're currently third best team in the AFC North. Bengals? Dalton isn't beating us in the playoffs. Denver with Peyton? Yea I could see them getting revenge next year. Colts? Maybe but I still think they're a couple of years away from posing any threats. Texans are a toss up but they could beat us too. So there's two maybe three teams standing in our way of going back to the SB? I like our chances.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
Because next year JOe, Lord forbid, might get hurt or Rice or someone else like when Jamal went down in 01. That killed Ravens chances for a repeat after Ozzie rolled the dice. He lost and then gutted the team. We're gonna have to get by NE again and Pissburgh always gives us a hard time even with a 3rd string QB.
Another thing is Ravens might be complacent like they were in 01. Shannan Sharpe said we still should have gone to SB 36 even with Jamal out but the team lost
it's swagger. There were some early losses that just shouldn't have been. That team lost it's hunger. Then it was gutted. We'll have to wait to see how hungry
Ravens are. Suggs recently said they got going after Ray announced his retirement. They wanted to send Ray out a champ. So what would have happened if Ray didn't retire? We would have been one and done?
Like I said, there's a million things.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
Well if any team loses their starting QB they're done so lets predict next seasons success under the assumption that Flacco will be healthy. And please our 2001 team is a joke compared to this squad. Other than Ray who was God like during those times, our team is significantly better.
And I understand what Suggs said, but come on you think Flacco, Boldin, Rice, Suggs, and Webb won't bring the swaggers. And if we resign Reed I'm not worried about our swagger. If Reed comes back he'll have this team ready come playoff times.
I really want us to resign Kruger too because I think he still has something to prove. Hopefully he realizes that Baltimore is his best fit.
