When Will We Get Our First Loss?

[varaven]

What do you all honestly think, as much as we would all like to say never, who will we have our first loss to? At the beginning of the season, i would have said the patriots, but the way they played against the jets makes me think otherwise. If we beat the patriots, i think we have the potential to beat every team until the colts in week 11.

We will get our first loss when we fail to score more points than the other team. The Raven's do not think in losing games, when you think you are going to lose you have already lost.

[Aaron Vaught]

After the way the Colts played last Monday, I think the Ravens could even beat them this year, especially if they're playing at M&T. Just wish I could trip over there w/ the Colts... and root against them.

In all honesty, we have a really well built team and as much as I'd like to see them run 16-0 and all the way to the Lombardi... it's doubtful. I look for them to have at least 10 wins under their belt before they suffer a loss. Key element will be just keeping our guys healthy.

i'm don't really like to think of us losing, but if we were going to i would still have to say it would probably be the steelers, we play them twice and that gives us a higher chance of a loss.

that would be awesome, not the loss of course, but that we would be 11-0 before our first loss. could that really happen though?

Our First loss will come in a Rainy windy day or when Ravens have a bad game.

[RavensClaw52]

If we beat the Pats that will give our guys so much momentum heading into the last few games before the bye

We will lose to the Pats. They will put it together just in time for our game with them. Then we will be 10 in the power rankings and back to our underrated selves. That's when we go on a psychotic streak and finish the season off at 13-3 (we drop one to the steelers in iron city and lose to the colts).

I just don't see us losing to the Pats, they looked god awful against the Jets. I could see us losing to the Colts though because we go in over-confident and just don't play well.

So....you make a lot of vague predictions that we make look good after the fact?

We beat both NE and Indy this year.

[5laccurate]

we will go 15-1 this year, losing our first game in week 16 in downsyndrome-city. we will be the #1 seed

No time like the present. Get the loss out of the way and making our players more stout to their roles.

Ok, maybe not to the Browns (I know, they suck), but if we don't go 16-0, then I want to get that loss out of the way sooner rather than later.

Is there any reason we should lose at all this season, the way we are playing now. Our main weaknesses so far has been the secondary and ST. We can potentially lose to teams that can exploit that. But so far in the season other parts of our team have been able to compensate for that apparent weakness and our offense is putting up over 30 pts. per game. On paper there are a few nailbiter games on the schedule. To me those games are Indy, Vikings, Packers, Pats, Steelers and don't sleep on the Bengals this season. But in my gut these are all games that we can win, the way we are playing now. So to be honest, in my mind we can sweep the table. Doing that is another story, this is the NFL.

You need to write this in a silly poem, errr, quatrain, encrypt the message, and find several hundred followers that will interpret your passage of gas as predictions of a nuclear holocaust... Then you'll be Nostradamus.

Ravens NEVER lose!!!!

[cheech420dog]

i don't know when they will lose, but it won't be today.

[macbrak]

Moss and Welker still won't be 100% next week, and their D is hideous stop giving the Pats so much credit.

Colts are also on the slide. We could still lose but they aren't putting up points like they used to, and we haven't been settling for field goals like we used to.

We'll slip and lose one at some point, Steelers could do it in the ketchup dome, but they are going to need to start putting up more points and Troy will need to be back 100%. Then again it might be a meaningless game, late in the season.

[TreTheRaven]

For some reason I don't think the Ravens will lose to the Patriots but games I am cautious of:

Cincinnati - Week 5

And of course the obvious...

Indianapolis - I hate them.

I think we'll be able to beat the Bengals. Palmer isn't his old self, we just need to pressure him throughout the whole game, our D will give Benson a hard time, their D is good I know but our O should be better. I also think we'll have some INTs coming out of that game.

I definitely think we are good enough to beat the Colts, the Pats are a different story... I think that we could lose to the Pats but if not than probably against the Vikings...although we are great at stopping the run AP is just a monster...so who knows

Im more worried about the 100yd rusher streak then actually losing to the vikings. I predict our first loss will be to the colts, cuz we just cant seem to beat them for nothin.

[slayback0317]

Honestly i cant even think about loseing but if we do it can be by any of the teams so i wont single a team out.

[Gtown Purple]

I worry about the steelers and colts the most.
