Re: I dare you to say the Ravens will not make the playoffs.
I've never really understood that notion at all. How does the media dictate how games will go by not picking us? Do you think players really ultimately care about that, does it really change how they play on a given Sunday? I mean sure, in the play offs, maybe all the public hate made the players angry, but at the end of the day, when two teams step on the field in play off atmosphere, the last thing on their minds is what Skip Bayless said about them on ESPN.
2007 was bad because of a mass amount of injuries, not because we were favored lol.

Re: I dare you to say the Ravens will not make the playoffs.
That's about the only thing that can really stop us from going all the way again
but we won this year with a mass of injuries. Ravens never had Ray,
Suggs, Webb or Jimmy on the field at the same time. Never.
And they still won the SB and with the 25th worse D while giving up
458 yards in total offense during the SB. Of course Joe and the offense
made up for that.
The other thing that can hold them back is if they lose their swagger like they
did after SB 35. Remember, they played thru the POs for Ray so he'd go
out a champ and with another ring.
There's more depth and I didn't mention Rolando McClain coming in.
Nobody can replace Ray but we're better off now than 90% of the
rest of the league even w/o him.
Now add the depth Ozzie will at the draft and we're even stronger.
It's taken Ozzie 17 years to get to this point losing some heart breakers
along the way in Piss and NE and just missing SB 4 years before
winning it all this year.
Ravens were a brand new organization 17 years ago and Ozzie was a
new babe in his job and now the best there is.Last edited by AirFlacco; 04-17-2013 at 05:31 PM.

The Ravens will not make the playoffs.
I can't believe no one has said that yet.
I don't believe that, but if you're gonna dare us - I'm up to the challenge!

Re: I dare you to say the Ravens will not make the playoffs.
I honestly don't see much change at all in the AFC. I have a hard time seeing any non-playoff team from 2012 breaking through...maybe the Chiefs or Dolphins sneak into the wildcard conversation.
I know there is always an "out of nowhere" team, but does anybody really think the Bills, Jets, Browns, Jags, Titans, Chargers or Raiders have a realistic shot?

Re: I dare you to say the Ravens will not make the playoffs.
It was the same philosophy, but Caldwell made better uses and called the better plays and stuck to certain game plans unlike Cam. One of Cams problem was, he'd panic when something wasn't working out, so he'd go to one extreme to the other. Run game isn't working? Pass the ball 50 times a game. Joe Flacco starts turning the ball over? Pound the ball for 3 yards all game long and send everyone deep on 3rd and shorts. Some of the most idiotic play calling I've ever seen.

Re: I dare you to say the Ravens will not make the playoffs.
Nobody can replace Ray's leadership...not even Ed Reed, if he was still here. However, there are some guys like Suggs and Yanda who I look to now. keep in mind that most of our 2013 roster will contain players with playoff/Super Bowl experience. We'll be alright... Bc
