Ravens Projected Win-Loss Record 2016

[wizard1]

Man you guys are freakin hilarious. 1 win over the Steelers when Roethlisberger was playing with one good leg and all of the sudden we are playing like SB winners. We get a win tonight against the winless Browns - WooooHoooo. Our final record is still going to be 6-10.

Again with our mediocre offensive talent this game becomes easy to predict. They have major stars , Roethlisberger, Bell, Williams, Brown, Bey , Timmons and Shazier. We have Justin Tucker. We can't run the ball. They can run all over the field. They have a precision passing attack. Joe Flacco will throw up a dud with a multiple interception game to boot because he will constantly be on his horse.. We have a mish mash of underachievers. They have 3 future hall of famers. This game is over at halftime . Roethlisberger will start but he will not finish the game but it doesn't matter. Final 34-17 Steelers.

I actually predicted 7-9... I feel like we actually have the talent now to compete with them. Weddle will be huge in limited AJ Green and Jimmy Smith is now healthy. Their secondary lost a lot of talent. They lost a lot of offensive talent when Sanu and Jones left and Eifert is coming back from an injury. I think this is the year the Ravens can sweep the Bengals if it were to ever happen nows the time.

I don't think we sweep them but I think split the home games.   I think our defense is going to be the reason why,  I'm hoping we blanket green instead of playing man on him.   I haven't even looked when we lay them

No chance.

Did you see us losing 4 on the trot ? We had a favourable schedule and pretty much blew our chances.

We almost lost vs the browns

 

the only way we win this division is if the steelers and bengals collapse even more. We are not winning more than 3 games from here on end. 

Have you looked around the league to see how unpredictable things are? Green Bay throttles the Bears ... the Bears beat a MN team that at one time looked like they were headed for a bye week. Indy looked like crap and then goes to GB and whips them. 

We can beat most anybody ... and lose to most anybody. Same goes for a lot of teams - some of whom are on our schedule.Deeming with such certainty that we will lose this game or win that one is folly. 

I know the thread is about projecting the team's record, but when you guess ... admit it is just that ... a guess. 9-7 is going to be tough, but that just doesn't seem to me to be an outlandish prediction. 

[nextgen_RavensFan]

We have the talent to compete with most teams in the NFL and i think the season no matter what the record states they have shown they can stay in any game. When we have lost we have beaten ourselves for the most part. 

One thing is bugging me though. On our own fan forum folks make excuses for why we beat other teams. Be happy we won.

And when/if we beat the Browns there will be some that point out that If it wasn't for this one play,  or if they catch this one pass or if that call was made... It'd be a different story.  But yet they refuse to do that when we lose by the same Circumstances.   Some people need negativity Im their life

Most NFL games come down to who makes the fewest mistakes right ? I do know what you mean by needing the negativity. I was that way and decided to stay away for awhile as i figured why should i ruin the forum topics with my comments. Now i think more along your lines usmccharles. A win is a win and always welcomed.

It's not like anyone here is saying we are superbowl contenders,  or at least no one better.   Everyone knows we have work to do,  take the win and try to get better next week, that's all you can do.  Everyone has a right to their opinion,  but the way things are said change perception.  In no way am I happy with how Joe is playing,  how the run game looks,  how BP is developing,  but I also now it takes time to work things out and that's what they are doing.

Looked like Ben was getting around pretty well to me. Didn't seem to be hampered by the leg in one bit. 

Ppl predicting an 8-8 season is hardly farfetched and nobody has even said anything about a playoff run.

You're on the money with your predictions lately. You predicting we go 1-6 to finish the season is probably a good thing.

Patriots@fox, Steelers@Pitt, 2 bengals game, dallas, and the eagles.

0-4 really ruined our season

I would put this differently. I'd say, our 4 game losing streak created a much tougher path for us go down to get to where we want to be. 

Basically, when you review a schedule and mark your wins and losses to get to a certain record - if you lose one you marked as a win, you have to win one that you marked as a loss. Not impossible ... just more difficult. So that 4 game losing streak will only have ruined our season if we fail to make up for those losses with wins against tougher opponents.

This team will go as far as Flacco takes them. I was at the game last night, and I know he heard the boo birds after that horrible first half. Hopefully the dumb interceptions will stop, and smart and accurate Joe will show up these up coming weeks. If that happens, 9-7, if he reverts bad, 7-9

[letitgosometimes]

Game 9: 6-3. The Ravens clobbered Cleveland in solid fashion.  Kudos to the Ravens' swarming defense - we are seeing vintage Ravens' signature on defense!  The offensive linemen are making holes and the backs are smashing through.  The Ravens' offensive coordinator still doesn't get that running out of the shotgun is a wasted play with little positive gains.  The Ravens are more effective running out of the I-formation and passing out of the I-formation by having two backs protecting Joe.  No one is worried about Joe's interception; rather the focus should be on the play calling from the booth.  Ravens' booth must select plays based on what the defense gives you, or they will continue to be Pete Carroll wannabes in the red zone.

[Edgar]

Nick Boyle returning could have no small impact on our offense. Our best blocking tight end should free up Pitta and help the ground game.

Also, if Perriman becomes a legitimate threat alongside Wallace,  we could really have an explosive tandem that keeps defensive coordinator s up at night.

And I was at the game on Sunday and the boo birds came out as well.

In my opinion this coaching staff has to begin to use the Ravens offensive personnel properly in order for them to really be effective and successful.  That no huddle, fast paced "attacking" tempo did wonders for both Joe and the receivers confidence to move the chains and to know that they could get the job done. They even went for a 2 pt conversion and got it!

That's a bold move cotton. Let's see if it pays off

 

So I'll take a stab at it

Buffalo-W. Their offense isn't that good, Tyrod isn't that good of a QB. They have a pretty meh oline. McCoy won't be able to run around. Sammy Watkins is an issue, but with a new improved defense I think we pull out a win. Even if Flacco is pressured to hell. 

 

Cleveland-W. They're the Browns

Jacksonville-W. We're in for a slugfest here. Even on the road, we match up decently. They may have a great defense, but potentially so do we. Their WR group is deemed a problem, but we have a ton of speed that'll be hard to combat. But at the end of the day, I think we come out with W. 

Oakland-L. Trap Game. Derek Carr is a great QB and now he's got a good oline, along with a very good WR and RB corps, and an unstoppable monster on defense named Mack. This is the first week we truly start overreacting and going "DAMN YOU RONNIE STANLEY" for getting beat by a monster that most cannot contain. 

 

Redskins-W. We're at home, after a loss.. They're going to die. Wrong

 

NYG-W. We cannot contain ODB. They've got a good dline with Harrison, JPP, and Hawkins. They've got good corners. But they do have a weakness. We got the TEs and they can't cover them. The TEs will kill them. Their oline is not as good, and neither is their running game. We pull out an upset here.

I Changed NYG to a loss due to the firing of Trestman 

NYJ-L. Our interior gets destroyed here. Williams, Wilkerson, Richarson are licking their chops and they've got Revis to take out SSR. Flacco gets beaten up. Wrong

 

PIT-W. 

We're coming off a loss, are at home, and it's against our arch rival. We blow them out in hilarious fashion. Especially since that defense is horrendous. 

CLE-W. They're the Browns. They'll be the laughing stock of the NFL until proven otherwise. 

 

Dallas-L

Trap game. Romo is a great QB with a good WR Corp and an oline that can make the best dline look bad. Defense will improve as by then they'll have some of their suspended players back. 

 

Well, I was wrong about the outcomes score wise/analysis wise, but 7-2 isn't bad in the slightest. Have us losing to Dallas but anything is possible.

Impressive predictions.  Ravens are building their bravado.  The Ravens will knock the Cowboys off their horses in Dallas.  The playoff march continues with smart play calling from the booth, execution of gap blocking and backfield blocking, step-through passing and hard hitting Steve Smith smack football!

Guess ravens will have to go take it.

Put this on the bulletin board. Re-read before Pittsburgh.

Just wanted to point out an FYI because I've seen you say this numerous times. If the coordinators are on the field, as they are, then the play calling comes from the field, not the booth. Now we do have assistants in the booth that relay information to the coordinators but at present the play calls are coming from the field.

Thanks, maybe the play callers need an improved perspective?  Finding the open green is easier to see from an elevated viewpoint.

Dude you got corrected multiple times last week. We're currently 5-4.

Well in all honesty they do have a point. We can't run the ball. Coming into the back part of the season we better start being able to run it better. TBH honest Zuttah hasn't played well and now has lower back problems causing him not to get any push. I'd rather see Urschel in there and than see who grades out better in run blocking between Ducasse and Jensen at LG. Once Yanda is back the right side is where a lot of our better runs came from with him and Wagner. But if you can only run to one side that hampers things. Put your best run blocking guy in at LG so at least teams must respect your ability to run either way. Especially as it gets cold.

The Ravens are indeed 5-4, however, this thread is about the Ravens Projected Win-Loss Record 2016 - my record is 6-3 (see first entry).  The win over Pittsburgh was pivotal in marching to the playoffs.  A win against Dallas continues the Ravens' upward vector.

Although this is true and has been done before, it doesn't allow coordinators to directly converse with players or rotate players in and out of the game on need basis. All information gets relayed to the players second hand. With good assistants in the booth that can relay that info to the field gives them that "improved perspective", as you stated. IMO, the play callers need to be with the players down on the field and I feel most players would prefer it.

Well said friend. it is fun being in our teams position. No matter what we do it is a surprise. We all expect better than last year of course but as of right now i honestly expect a 9 - 7 outcome for us. The schedule ahead is tough but we always play up or down to our opponents until Thursday. Our D did not call off the dogs at all. And that is what sways me. If our D is allowed to play the full 60 and not go into "just save the lead" mode we can demoralize a bunch of teams.
