What home game(s) are you going to this year?

Living 4 hrs away, I have to carefully pick and choose my games. Right now, I have tix for the Cards and Bengals.

Season tix holders, you can spare me the "all of them" responses.

I have a friend with season tickets and I usually get a call whenever he has extra seats or can't go a couple times a year. Soooo.... I don't know, but I'll definitely be there at least a few times!

All 24 games (including the preseason games), because I'll be at home listening on my radio to every game. LOL! Seriously, if I could, I'd go to the Ravens/Browns game.

You should be able to get tickets for below face value for almost all the games for a variety of reasons:

-Many don't think the Ravens will be any good
-Many are still angry and unforgiving about the unity kneeling of 2017
-No more Suggs, Weddle and CJ i.e. no more excitment
-Flacco lash
-Lamar will suck
-Safety/Crime/Death concerns
-Expense of the in game experience

I know that sounds extreme but it's real. The Ravens are aggressively advertising in DC and NoVA because while the Slurs suck they can no longer count on the fan bases in Dundalk, Hartford and Carrol Counties and the Shore because many of those fans would check the box of one of the above as to a reason(s) why they aren't going to come to the games.

Season ticket holder so most of them. We've missed 1 game a year, usually due to me or my dad being sick, each of the past few seasons, so I'd expect that again this year. Not sure which that will be though.

Being completely honest, if the team sucks and is not in contention in December, we'll likely skip out on the TNF game against the Jets. TNF + December cold + Jets + our team going nowhere = nah.

As in every season since 1996: All eight home games (subject to my health, the weather, and the cruise ship schedules from the Port of Baltimore)

All the above is accurate. Add to the list:

- too many no-names (will remind us of the pathetic O's)
- running based offenses are boring
- the shrinking of lanes on the BW Parkway reconstruction inside the Beltway will add to the gameday traffic mess.
- a big screen TV in every pot on Sundays

I have many friends and relatives who are delusional Deadskins fans believing that their team will be a 2019 contender. While that's good for an annual laugh, if that does happen and the Ravens do suck, as many of us are fearful: 10's of thousands of fans in the middle could shift their rooting interest towards Landover.

Someday I hope to make it to a home game and go to eat at Jimmy's.

Going to the Patriots game this year.

On a side note, I’m tempted to go down and see Bears @ Eagles 1pm game with my university friend (based in Philly but both went to St Andrews). Do you think it’s doable to go to this game in the afternoon and make it back to Baltimore in good time for our SNF game?

My options are either an Uber or the Amtrack after the Eagles game.

lol what. By my count we'll have like 3 starters who are relatively unknown. How is that in any way comparable on any level to the Orioles of this year?

It's hard for me to know which Ravens non fans know. Like we all know and love guys like Mark Andrews and Marlon Humphrey, but has your average fan in Detroit or whatever ever heard of these guys? I just don't know. Plus, we're on a message board, we know this team, not everybody cares about it as much as we do. Does your average Ravens fan who might catch a game a couple times a year even know about those players?

Philly is like a 2 hr drive from Baltimore, so assuming the game ended at 4 and you were on the road by 4:30-5, you should be okay. I'd suggest renting a car if you can. An Uber from Philly to Baltimore would be well over $100 IF you can get a driver willing to take you that far. Amtrak would be cheaper but I don't know enough about it to really comment on it.

I would say their identifiable players nationally would be Jackson, Ingram, Yanda, Thomas, Jefferson, and probably Humphrey too, given he's gotten a lot of support from media outlets as one of the better CBs in the league. I do think the Ravens fan that cares enough to attend a couple games generally would know at least our starters for the most part. The casual fan might not be able to tell you the difference between Ferguson and Board, but they should know your Williams, your Humphrey, Andrews, Jackson, Edwards, Ingram, etc.

Really just take issue with the ridiculousness of comparing them to the Orioles. There is no comparison.
