vmax Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah Yeah Ranking most likely new NFL playoff teams, and who each would replace How they fared in 2017: 9-7. Baltimore was stunned on the final day of the regular season, losing its playoff spot after Cincinnati scored on a 49-yard touchdown pass with less than a minute remaining to win.FPI rank headed into 2018: 15Why there's optimism: The biggest reason for optimism is the health of Joe Flacco and his revamped wide receiver group. Flacco had his best offseason in recent memory, and many believe it's the result of him not having to deal with knee and back injuries. The last time Flacco was this healthy was 2014, which was also the last time Baltimore reached the postseason. Another factor is the Ravens' overhaul of Flacco's targets. Baltimore upgraded by adding Michael Crabtree, John Brown and Willie Snead. This offseason, Crabtree has looked like a No. 1 receiver, Brown has repeatedly made big plays downfield and Snead has consistently gotten open over the middle. The Ravens are looking to avoid missing the playoffs for a fourth straight year, which hasn't happened since the franchise's first four years of existence (1996-1999). -- Jamison Hensley....http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23802011/2018-nfl-ranking-most-likely-new-playoff-teams-replacements Hurst and Andrews....going to be huge. Joe loves the TE's.Collins....decent O line....not too shabby when you throw in the D and Special teams.The can make some noise.

Timetable for return: Unknown. No one is (publicly) freaking out yet, but if Ryan Mallett's at the helm in the regular season, you might not be able to slip a credit card under Breshad Perriman's ascension. The addition of Jeremy Maclin won't mean diddly-poo unless Mallett improves -- or, as a colleague put it, "If he gets his head out of the clouds."

Sharpe’s argument for the Ravens is that he believes quarterback Joe Flacco will be much better now that he is two years removed from his knee surgery. Sharpe also “loves” the moves the Ravens have made this offseason. He specifically noted the additions of Jeremy Maclin and Danny Woodhead as excellent moves.Yep I knew it had been done. Quote
oldno82 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Joe may indeed have his best season ever depending on injuries to him and his new targets. What I foresee at this time is more exciting play but a 7-9 record as that schedule is stacked with really good teams. If they're exciting to watch, I can live with that for this season. Really looking forward to the pre-season to see what Griffin and Jackson bring to the table. And Crabtree, Snead, and the others. Quote
