Is .500 for 2016 Ravens Realistic?

[vmax]

They'd have to get 3 wins out of their remaining 6 games.

I can't see it.

 

12 NOV 27 1:00PMEST * BENGALS
13 DEC 4 1:00PMEST * DOLPHINS
14 DEC 12 8:30PMEST + AT PATRIOTS
15 DEC 18 1:00PMEST ) EAGLES
16 DEC 25 4:30PMEST , AT STEELERS
17 JAN 1 1:00PMEST * AT BENGALS

 

Getting 5 wins and a playoff berth out of this schedule????

I mean...the Patriots are the only good team on it.

BENGALS LOST AJ Green and theur rb Bernard yesterday looks like season enders for them. BUT we will make some other reciever look like Jerry Rice. We losing at Pitt, New England, cinncy, and we better watch out for the Fins.

[tsylvester]

I see 3 wins maximum, split with the Bengals, should beat the Phins, and maybe the Iggles... But then I wouldnt be surprised if they lost all six or if they won 4 of the six.

[oldno82]

I see wins against the Bungles (1), Miami. Eagles is 50-50. The rest look like losses. So that's either 7-9 or 8-8.

[OutsideRzAcE]

i think we sweep the bengals. They were a shell of their former selves before they lost Green. I think we also beat the phins. NE is a definite loss. I think an eagles loss is likely (Flacco vs Schwartz watch out). I guess it will come down to the Steelers game

[varaven45]

I'm with Oldno: it's either 7-9 or 8-8. We will remain mediocre as our record reflects our talent level.

[Spen]

I think we are headed to 7-9. Usually the offense is only good for a touchdown or two so I cannot feel confident we will win any. A pick six or a kick return for a touchdown could put any any game out of reach.

Flacco is on a pace to get 16 TDs and 15 or so INTs. Elite!

Mia is playing pretty good ball right now. I see that as an L. I see a split between Pitt and Cindy. I am not sure the ravens are even good enough to beat Philthy. 7 wins at best.

[ravinmaniac52]

One game at a time. I just don't fear the Steelers any, at all. Not saying they will beat them again. What are the odds? They have to win sometime right?

 

Something I heard from some football people on TV, one was a GM the other 2 were coaches at one time. All 3 seem to think that Ravens are a team built to beat the Pats and Steelers, and that was before that TE went down. I didn't say it.

I'm with you 52.

 

Let's bring home the W today and then we'll see where they are at.

[tsylvester]

If the offense can play like they did today every game, 10 wins is possible. But then, not many defenses play as poorly as the Phins did today...

lol, we dominated the 2nd hottest team in the NFL and that's all you got?

 

it's December, its Ravens football time

sad thing, ravens offense still needs work but getting better.

the biggest change i seen today, Joe didn't play as scared as he has.

 

Very sad thing, if the coach was as smart as he thinks he is, 2 wins instead of

[tsylvester]

Wait for it. you said this in another thread. #you not laying an egg, its Fins football in December#

 

according to you the Phish stink in December so the blow out was nothing to write home about, right? Lol

The Ravens are 1 game away from a .500 season.

It looks like they are not going to get any help so they have to win the division.

 

They showed me a lot today.

The main thing is this team is healthy.

A run to the playoffs is happening now.

 

Got to share a text that I got from cravnravn during the game:

"January Joe heating up. God help the Patriots next week."

[cravnravn]

hey I'm a stats guy, an edge finder, I did alot of searching to find how bad the Fins get in December..but you know I was slammed when I posted it elsewhere.

[papasmurfbell]

lol

Will you be laughing next Monday night?

[vmax]

The Ravens have got to get the running game going. It's necessary for cold December football....and putting away teams.

 

They didn't run much Sunday, but It might be there or emerging.

Dixon: 6 carries 56 yards and 9.3 ypc.

West: 10 carries for 50 yards, 5 ypc and 1 TD.

[cravnravn]

Will you be laughing next Monday night?

considering I had it penciled as a loss months ago, I hope i will be smiling.

[reddog271]

it's funny how people always count Pittsburgh games as a loss.. haven't we beaten them 4 or 5 times in a row. I'm sure it's 4 times in a row at Pittsburgh

[varaven45]

Many folks dont give us a chance in Pittsburgh. Even though we ve had their number the last 4-5 games, we havent played them often with a healthy Ben and Bell.

I would imagine they will be a very tough out on Christmas day in the Burgh. We'll see.
