Predictions
I have a sneaky feeling you guys are going to come into Lambeau and upset us in November. It's just a feeling. You guys have a bye too before that. We better bring out A game cause this will be tough.

Re: Predictions
I don't believe the Ravens has ever won in Green Bay. This will most likely be the hardest game of the season. IMO Aaron Rodgers is 2nd only behind Tom Brady. The next QB is a distant 3rd. But I have to agree with JoeCool5. Our QB is complaining of back issues, our slot CB is out for the year, our best RB is out and our TE position is becoming depleted. Gotta make it to November with a full squad first.

Re: Predictions
The Ravens are 1-4 against the Packers. The 1 win was in Baltimore in 2005. Kyle Boller's best game as a pro. Ravens won 48-3. Boller threw 3 TDs and no picks.

Re: Predictions
How do you know which team will be favored to win?
The Ravens could have and probably should have beaten the Packers at home in 2013. The Ravens held Rodgers to a pedestrian (for him) 17-32, 315 yds, 1 INT, 1 TD. The key play came early in the 2nd quarter when Elvis Dumervil stripped/sacked Rodgers on the GB 6 yard line. That was my end-zone and I remember the ball rolling around towards the goal line out there for any Ravens player to pick it up, but it was narrowly recovered by Green Bay. The Packers went on to win 19-17.
The interesting thing about the 2005 game, other than Boller's performance, was that Rodgers replaced Favre to start the 4th quarter. His first play, he was stripped/sacked by Adalius Thomas, the fumble was recovered by Bart Scott. And 3 plays later, Jamal Lewis rumbled in for the TD. Memories...

Re: Predictions
November Prediction : We will be going over to cousin Alan's for Thanksgiving dinner without sister-in-law. We will have our usual annual grand time while she sulks at home, playing with her cat, and blaming us for her faults (“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves"). Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all taste better without her in the room ... Bc

Re: Predictions
Full pads practice haven't even occurred yet & we are losing people. I'm sure we have, at least, a few more key injuries before the season starts.

Re: Predictions
I thought I'd resurrect this thread now that it looks to be all settled - I doubt that any future signing will significantly impact the team's outlook.
A brief recap: PANIC!
1. Draft dominated by defense
2. No immediate WR relief
3. Campy stubs toe
4. Dixon tears ACL
Then, maybe, reason to be CALM ...
1. Maclin
4. (Because signing Maclin is the top three) but WR looks pretty good, actually
5. Correa not relenting at ILB spot
6. Howard is one big mo%#*#er
7. Campy's toe was actually no big deal
8. D-line, LB safety and CB groups seem to have improved, or at the very least got a serious injection of speed and youth.
I see both units in the top ten, defense will contend for the top spot as it did last year, but the improved depth will keep it in the top five even with a few injuries.
I'm waiting to see the running game before I get too optimistic, because that is the lynchpin that will determine if it's AFC championship and a chance or just a playoff run
