I don't see us losing ANY of those games. Of course we WILL--and lose a few, at that... but I like the schedule because I see us having the personnel to beat every single one of those teams. We won't be overmatched by anyone. We just need to execute.

Steel Sharpens Steel. You have to play the best to beat the best.

Look what happened with the Pats, They beat up on sub .500 teams all last year, losing every game vs winning teams (except us.....AAGGGHHH!!!!) They demolished the .500 broncos, and then the Ravens gave them superbowl tickets wrapped in the finest gold leaf paper, and a pretty little bow (AAAGGGGHHHHH IT STILL HURTS!) Then they lost when they faced real competition. Brady only through like 2 or 3 TD's in the playoffs (not including the Broncos game because that was more of a hard practice than a game) Where as in the regular season Brady was throing 2 or 3 TD's a quarter vs the weak teams they faced which didn't harden them up enough for real competition. I'd rather go 12-4 vs hard teams than 14-2 vs poor teams.

I didn't realize this but this is something to keep a close eye on for next season. I know we are all talking about the Patriots but remember last year, the Texans, Ravens and Patriots were tied at one point for several weeks and we were all trying to figure out the tiebreakers. Well this year it just so happens the Ravens, Texans and Patriots all play each other this year....

Ravens vs Texans

Ravens vs Patriots

Texans vs Patriots

Right now I would say those two games are going to be crucial in determining the final seeding so H2H is going to really play a factor and I will consider both of those games must wins for the Ravens to get the # 1 Seed. I am certainly going to be circling those games on the calender when the dates are announced.

Cincinatti will be a tougher opponent than Pittsburgh this year. All the games have a potential to be losses,
you just have to hope the other AFC North teams stumble in a couple games also!!

We CANNOT afford to sleep on ANY teams!!! Too many really good teams to lose to a below .500 team.

Don't worry--there's always the playoffs.

Playoffs? Playoffs?!

Thats a tough schedule. Although you guys were like 6-0 or something vs playoff teams this year. Just remember. Respect the opponent. Nothing is an easy win but you shouldnt be scared of anybody.



Except the Texans . JK

Last season I would rather have done the 14-2 vs easy teams. Then we would have had 1st seed and beaten the Pats at the Bank.

Oh well.

Toss in a random bad day loss, or a day-um we played good day win.

Now this is a glass half full guy if there ever was one.

Damn playing the Chargers again in San Diego is starting to tick me off. Year are year we have to travel there. It is about time they come here for a change. I am seriously upset about this.

Maybe we'll get them in the first half of the season. That should balance things out! LOL

I hope we destroy the pats. Idk about yall but I will hate them forever and always.

Just add them to the list with the Bengals, Steelers, and Colts. I want to beat them just as badly as the other 3 teams.

Those lame games at Tenn., Seattle, and Jax cost us the 1st seed in the playoffs.

Why do we always seem to play away to Washington and San Diego and never at home?

We played Washington at home last time we played the NFC east in 2008.
