What is your most anticipated 2014 reg season game?

Such a common theme, in fact, that the Ravens have the fewest losses against sub-.500 teams of any NFL team since 2008.

 

Of every Ravens myth, this one is the myth-iest.

 

I guess you didn't understand.  I didn't say they have the most losses against sub 500 teams.  I said they play down to their opponents level.    They might "squeeze out" a win against a bad team.... but it's not good football.  Their play gets really bad, and they make mistakes they just shouldn't be making.  It happens far too often for it to be a coincidence.  They simply don't play good against bad teams very regularly.  

I reiterate my origiinal point... with the talent the Ravens have, they should be blowing out many of these bad teams.  Not hanging on for dear life and catching a lucky break at the end of the 4th quarter.

Good fact to know, I think a lot of that myth is from the Ravens rarely ever blowing those sub 500 teams out. Too often they are the same nail biters us Ravens fans have to deal with  lol

That was exactly my point.

How many points per game should the Ravens have beaten sub-.500 teams by since 2008?

I think it's pretty common to play down to an opponent, to the point of it being human nature really. Easiest example to bring up is the seahawks falling behind by 21-0 to the Bucs. I agree we could stand to be more aggressive when we have leads, but that should change with the OC.
