We easily could have lost the Steelers game; easily could have won the other 3. I'm not throwing in the towel.

No I was very high on us coming into this year, but this team is dreadful right now. Our Offensive line is playing horrible with Hurst at LT, KO has not been the same as last year, We have no offensive threat with Steve smith out, Joe is getting hit every play, Our defense might be worse than last year.

We look like one of the worst teams in the NFL at this point in the year.

Bc Ben was out we have 1 win. We are an 0-4 team.

The only teams I really expect us to beat are the browns, 49ers and steelers( if ben is out)

What's the deal with Monroe? Is he coming back any time soon?

The same what ifs that have you nonchalantly switching our win to a loss could be used to turn all 3 of our losses into wins, so you could just as easily say we're a 3-1 team. In all honesty, this team has just about the slimmest margin between victory and defeat on all 4 of its games that I've ever seen in this league. We could be 0-4, or we could be 4-0, or anything in between. We happen to be 1-3.

But you can't honestly look at *how we play* and think we are very good right now, I think at full steam we are a playoff team, and will go as far as our WR will take us.

But the we we have looked is absolutely abysmal. I didn't think our defense could be any worse than last year...but it is. Our offense looks Anemic as well. I haven't seen a Ravens team look this bad essentially since flacco came, and prior to that, at least we had a stoudt Defense

New York looks good now, but anybody that's watched the progression of Ryan Fitzpatrick through a season knows that the fuck ups are coming. Buffalo is neither here nor there.

As pessimistic as I am about the prospects of this team this season, I'm afraid I have to agree with you here. The AFC's mediocrity may keep the Ravens in it this year.

I agree for the most part, Ex; however, as much as I hate to say it (and I loathe this team), I really think Pittsburgh, with a Healthy Ben, IS something special....I see them competing with the likes of New England, Denver, and Cincy as the teams to beat in the AFC. Pitts Offense is very Dangerous, and their Defense is stout enough to keep them in the fight....just saying.

We need to string together some wins, develop some receivers, stay healthy and not worry about any outside comments. There are quite a few inconsistent teams in the NFL right now so we have a decent chance to get back in this thing

My favorites are the angry rants in the comment sections of power rankings and "top" lists. Like they really mean anything. lol

Denver is 4-0. Do you think they are REALLY good? We had two shots in the end zone to beat them and just didn't get the play made. On the road.

We have problems, especially without Suggs and Sr. right now. But this is still a good football team.

We have not looked abysmal, unless you want to focus solely on the bad plays.
