Final Offseason Thoughts

They suck. Fuck them. 30th in pass defense DVOA last season; and if Guenther has them fall back in his 2-deep zone, Roman will run all over them. Carr played 15 games. Gruden is going to have them playing small ball WCO, which doesn't fit Carr's or Amari Cooper's skillsets. Their receptions leader from last season is wearing a Ravens uniform. They're a West Coast team playing a 1:00 game on the East Coast.

Ravens win easy.

Also Crabtree is on our side after previously torching the Ravens for the past few years.

I will be completely stunned if this Ravens team wins more than 8 games. I’m still seeing 6 wins. Maybe that changes once I see them in preseason. Honestly the only thing that I optimistic about is the change that will come in 2019.

pass the Jim Beam, Jim!

Great thread. I think Flacco is going to have a great year and I think the most relevant comparison to what we see from the 2018 Ravens is the 2012 9ers. In a lot of ways it’s the same team with a slightly more talented offense and equally less talented defense.

I think Roman’s presence is going to be felt in a big way on offense. Could see Marty retiring after this year no matter the record, with Roman as his replacement.

On defense, I’m excited to see what Wink can do. If nothing else, he has the attitude we like from our DCs in Baltimore...we’ll see if he can outperform Pagano and get into Ryan/Nolan territory when the games count.

I still think they're probably a .500 team at best, but we'll see.

Buffalo - W
@ Cincy - L
Denver - W
@ Pittsburgh - L
@ Cleveland - W
@ Titans - W (only because of Dean Pees)
New Orleans - L
@ Carolina - L
Pittsburgh - W
Cincy - W
Oakland - L
@ Falcons - L
@ Chiefs - L
Tampa - W
@ Chargers - L
Browns - W

Before Pees went to Nashville, I'd have given them an L down there. And this is assuming they don't shit the bed on any of the games they should win, like against Cincy at home, or maybe Cleveland on the road.

I see us beating Carolina and/or Oakland.

KC is a big unknown too. Depends how Mahones plays...he may be good...or he may not be....and if u don’t have good qb play, you have nothing. Wish we would have got them early in the season

There will be more film on him later in the year. A lot of these newer QBs have “ambush” potential when you’re not really sure how their offense is going to look and what they’re going to do earlier in the season.

My thought

Last time the Ravens had a new DC and Joe Flacco was under significant contract pressure - we won the super bowl.

But only one is true......we have a new DC.
