Tornado700 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm still not convinced. Next three will show the world. But, like they say, it's one game at a time. Beat Lions on the road and they really get my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 They have to have 2 of 3. The Pats game got much easier after yest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 we did not know at this time last year......even though it looked good for the Ravens to make the playoffs. Get a running game and I think they qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I agree with Nado. Beat the Lions on the road this week and I'll believe they're a playoff team. I think it would set them up to at least be competitive with NE and Cincy. But I've got to see them beat some real quality first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The Ravens have a top 10 defense.....check.They have a rock solid Special Teams unit.....check.They have a 28th ranked offense...24th in scoring...uh oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The Pats are vulnerable on both sides of teh ball. What Dalton shows up week 17? If it is the one from yesterday they win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinmaniac52 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 If the Lions play on top of their game, forget it but no way the fish will beat the Pats Gronk or not. Bolts wont beat Denver, No need but the Jets at the Panther, will the Jets score any? All the talk about the Fish has an easy out but they are playing with-in the AFCE.

OutsideRzAcE Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Don't count the fins out of that Pats game. The pats have had to come from behind every week lately. Their luck is bound to run out. Beating Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh is no small feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only win in those four games came against the Packers, during a Thanksgiving contest that was no longer in doubt by the time the final 15 minutes commenced.While other failures have contributed to the team’s inability to win more than seven of 13 games, the franchise quarterback needs to step up when the game is on the line. Stafford, in recent weeks, hasn’t.As a result, the Lions are now in danger of blowing the NFC North crown. They’ll get their next chance to push toward the team’s first division title in 20 years on Monday night, when they welcome to town the Ravens and quarterback Joe Flacco. Per Twentyman, Flacco has a passer rating of 85.3 in the fourth quarter of the last four games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 On the subject of quarterbacks, Tom Brady is a legitimate hall-of-famer but do people forget it might be more Bellichek than Brady? Remember when Brady was hurt and out for the season and Matt Cassell, yes Matt Cassell, was being hailed as the next great one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 and just think, Bill Belichick was that close to being the Ravens head coach Yep. The problem is he was an asshole and Modell was worried how a new fan base would take to him. He opted for the ultimate Mr. Niceguy in Marchibroda (who much of the fan base was also very familiar with). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why with Brady they were crushing NFL records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
