Re: We will go 8-8.
Damn, is a man not allowed to have an opinion here? Lol.... So. I was wrong. I did bet someone lunch... but they won't take me up on the offer.
But, lets not forget that Ben was out and will be out for the next game too. That changes the scenario a little, don't you think? The Ravens didn't beat the Steelers because they played a great game... The Ravens won because the Steelers had a crappy QB that still may have beat us if didn't hurt himself on the first drive of the game.

Re: We will go 8-8.
Yes. I failed. In hindsight, my prediction looks absurd. But, at the time (just after the Dallas game) if the Ravens continued to play defense the way they had. 8-8 could have happened, although a more conservative and realistic prediction would have been 9-7 or even 10-6. But that's what a bunch of people would have said to play it safe.
A number of things have changed. Suggs is back, we have (it appears) to have found a decent CB to help out, and the new rotation on the DL is stepping up against the run. If these additions hold up to the level we have see the past couple of games, and we can steadily improve our pass rush, we should be in great shape. This team desperately needs home field advantage to get to a Superbowl.

Re: We will go 8-8.
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
