2018 Free Agency

With Jimmy, it’s quite possible we would be 6-0 since the bye and a pretty dangerous team in the playoffs. I still think we are dangerous, but not as much.
We arent dangerous! only half decent team we beat is the lions. Defense isnt as good. i dnt really see us being a threat.

I mean if we hadn’t made error upon error at the end of the steelers game we would have beaten them in their building and won 7 of the last 8 games
 
How is it you cannot see us beating the Steelers when just a couple weeks ago we almost did?
Because the steelers are better than us. Almost beating a team means nothing. Even if we wouldve one i still couldnt see us beating them in playoffs.

That makes no logical sense. "Even if we beat them I can't see is,beating them". They are a rival therefore the playoff Steelers ARE the regular season Steelers and record aside the regular season Steelers have not been impressive. You are buying into media hype too much.

Agreed, he is a key part of this defense and after we signed him to that deal he played a full 16 game season. I just don't think the Ravens anticipated he would be this injury prone.

Meh its not like they where playing mistake free themselves.
It being the 1st game after that horrifying injury to shazier probably played some role as well.

We of all teams know what can happen when we loose our best player on a any unit.

Works both ways - it was also our first game after losing jimmy smith... not quite the same level of horror but he was just as important to our team as shazier was to there’s

And it’s not like they started slow - they had a significant lead early on which we came back from and then took a commanding lead ourselves - as much as people want to suggest it was an extenuating factor I have a hard time believing that

so you agree we where not the only team that made errors in that game ?

Yes of course I do - I just mean that ours were more costly at the wrong time - we were most definitely the better team for the vast majority of that game so it’s seems ignorant to assume we can’t beat them
 
The Dolphins beat the Patriots. Therefore the Dolphins are better than the Patriots. :rolleyes:

We blew away the Dolphins so therefore we are better than the Dolphins so therefore we are better than the Patriots.

The Patriots beat Pittsburgh. Since we are better than the Patriots we are also better than Pittsburgh.

This erroneous logic makes my head hurt.

i dont even watch espn unless a game is on. I dnt buy into anything. Dolphins beat the patriots, now do you really think that woulr happen in the playoffs?

We lost cause steelers are better. All that error stuff means nothing, its our fault we lost. No excuses, no luck steelers are just the better team till we can prove theyre not

Yes because the Dolphins match up well with the Pats.

It's like how a few years when the Rams were awful amd go 2-14 they could and oftem did beat Seattle bc they match up well with them. They were AWFUL the rest of the time but against Seatle they could win at any point.

just like the browns can beat us at any point? None of that matters. Rams would not beat sea in a make it or break it game back then nor would browns be able to beat us in make or break game regardless how close they come to beating us in a reg season game

The Browns really can't beat us whenever though. The Ravens record against the Browns since Harbs is like 16-2.

A better example for your argument is Jacksonville who even when they were bad would always play the Ravens tight despite being a vastly inferior team on paper.

browns play us well though and most of the time we barley get away with the win!
