8-8

Split with Pitt, Cleveland and Bengals to end up 3-3 in Division.

Loses to Oakland and Jacksonville early set the tone for the season.

Not sure 8-8 is achievable now....I'm seriously doubting we split with Pittsburgh or Cinci now.....

 

[letitgosometimes]

Game 5: 4-1; tough loss at home.  Ravens looked JV in the coaching box and on the field.  Maybe next game?  Anything can happen in the NFL.  Giants might roll Ravens if the Ravens make the same choice not to run out of the I-formation and not to have two blocking backs in the backfield.  My fingers are running out of patience with Ravens blocking schemes.  Go Ravens, next year.

Ravens win on Sunday, no problem.  A complete game on both sides of the ball is projected.  Take a breath, good things will happen on Sunday in Baltimore.

I'm not calling you out because I thought the same exact thing (after all, we were playing the Redskins), but pretty much every part of that statement turned out to be wrong.

What a terrible loss 

[Wildabeast88]

Well that might cost us a playoff spot. I was ok with 3-1 and had us goings 5-2 while going 10-6 the back end of the schedule is brutal so we need to sweep the NY teams the next 2weeks to get there alo assuming a split with both the Steelers and Bengals

[Swijjy]

With tresman lossing season

Without winning season

You choose.

[FoxRox75]

If we lose these next two games, the season is definitely lost. It's dangerously close right now. If we win one, it'll be on life support. If we win both, we might have a shot at rebounding. Looking at the rest of the schedule (these picks are totally hypothetical, and assume Trestman stays on and we don't become injury-riddled)...

 

Week 6: at New York Giants

Giants aren't that good of a team right now, but obviously we haven't been lately either. This is definitely a game that could go either way - almost definitely a game that is decided 7 or less points once again. If we lose this one we'll be in serious trouble. I think we eke one out here, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we lose either. I predict we win something like 20-19. WIN.

Week 7: at New York Jets

Have no excuse to lose this one. Jets just aren't good. Plus, we have a history of beating them. I'm definitely predicting a win here. 24-17. WIN.

Week 8: BYE

Week 9: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are obviously better than us right now, but obviously that doesn't matter when we play them (see 2015). We have had their number lately, and they haven't beat us at home since 2012. I'm going to say we win, by the skin of our teeth. Like the Giants game though, a loss at all would not be surprising. WIN.

Week 10: vs. Cleveland Browns

Like the Jets game, a game we have no reason to lose. Our schedule is somewhat favorable from the Giants game up to this game; my picks have been optimistic thus far, and I'll keep the trend here. WIN.

Week 11: at Dallas Cowboys

I don't see any way we win this game in our current state. We're probably going to suffer our first blowout this season in this game. LOSS.

Week 12: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals have been pretty disappointing so far this year, but to be fair, they lost to 3 very good teams. Not to mention, they have owned us lately. They just know how to beat us. LOSS.

Week 13: vs. Miami Dolphins

Dolphins are definitely one of the league's worst teams right now. This is the last game on our schedule that doesn't have me super worried; the next four are doozies. Here, I think we get the victory. WIN

Week 14: at New England Patriots

Talk about a game I'm dreading. We usually play the Patriots well, but I have a feeling this is going to turn ugly like that 2013 regular season game against the Patriots. LOSS.

Week 15: vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles are certainly a superior team to us. I don't like our chances, but it's still probably our most winnable game in the last quarter of the year. Still, I'm not feeling it. LOSS.

Week 16: at Pittsburgh Steelers

I did say we have had the Steelers' number lately, but I don't think we sweep them two straight years. They get back at us in a Christmas classic and pretty much end our year here. LOSS.

Week 17: at Cincinnati Bengals

So sick of Cincinnati finales. They don't end well. LOSS.

 

8-8, miss playoffs. 10-6 is our ceiling at this point.

[RavensRegime]

4-12

You're right; I expected too much from the coaching staff.

I highly doubt that Marty can get this thing turned around the next game on the road.  Unfortunately, I can easily see another pathetic showing by this offense resulting in a "L" this game like I already predicted.

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

 

So I'll take a stab at it

 

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'm changing this to an L. Let's count the trend patterns. 

We fired Cam after. 

I relocated to another state

A two game losing streak

A loss to the Redskins where the playcalling was predictible and we lost to Kirk Cousins of all people.

 

And after we fired Cam

We played a Manning brother

Got humiliated by him with the offense looking bad

And then walked all over a team from New York with our rushing attack looking great

 

Expect the trend to continue. We don't have a way to defend ODB and Sterling Shepard and we'll be more creative but rustier on offense. I expect a blowout loss given the trends. Hope I'm wrong.

A win against NYG can change the Ravens’ prognosis from “Root Canal” to “Filling”.  Some cavities you can't tell until you've cleaned out all the decay as to whether a root canal might be needed or not.  Sometimes the dentist can't tell until the tooth has been given a little time to respond.  It's very normal for them to mention that, and it's just part of the process.

I'm feeling somewhat different about this now since I've heard the players excitement about the O.C. change in their interviews.  Maybe Marty can provide the spark that this offense needs.

GO RAVENS!!

4-12 due mainly to Coach Hardhead blunders

Well what do you know? Wrong about the way we lost but we were right. 

 

I see us winning the next game. 

[letitgosometimes]

Game 6: 5-1; mental loss.  Ravens hardly ever get out coached, but for the past two games they out coached themselves with high risk decisions that didn't fall their way.  Sound fundamental coaching and play execution will return the Ravens to winning ways next week.  The key is to react forward, not backward.  The Ravens lost two games they were supposed to lose, but the Redskin loss was unexpected.  The coaches must reload for the Jets and design a completely new game plan. 

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

I was wrong about us getting blown out.. But I'm 5/6. Damn Redskins.

 

Time to change this week's predictions too. 

 

IF Mosley, SSR, Jimmy, the line come back this is W. Outside of their front three that team does not scare me in the slightest. The oline could hold up well against the three but not without some faults. 

 

If the line isn't back pencil this as a L. The three will eat us alive and we won't be able to produce offensively by establishing a run game thus not opening up the deep ball etc.

What!? You can't change Mili, 10-6, I'm going with your original prediction, we're just gonna need to find a game to steal that you didn't predict as a W.

Its a pipe dream to think we'll go 10-6 or even 9-7 now.

I don't think it's a pipe dream...a bit optimistic-yes, but I think it's still doable.  I didn't predict before the season, but I see us 9-7 now (and I am hoping we find a way to "steal" a game to go 10-6 because that would give us a decent shot at the playoffs, especially with 2 NFC losses)  Here's how I see the rest of the season shaking out:

@ Jets - W
BYE

Steelers - W
Browns - W
@ Cowboys - L
Bengals - W
Dolphins - W
@ Patriots - L
Eagles - W
@ Steelers - L
@ Bengals- L

I'm thinking the losses will be vs Pitt, @ NE, and Cincy 2x.

And I'm also worried about Philly.

[FerrariFan87]

8-8 would be our best case scenario so long as these injuries keep piling up and Harbaugh continues to make unsound decisions week after week.

Plus, how on Earth will we lose 9 straight games in the final minute this year? That was an NFL record at the time, I see us winning half, or maybe even more than half of our close games this year. 

Coaching. 

[letitgosometimes]

Good news: Ravens fly high in NJ this weekend.  The Ravens are guaranteed to SHOW-UP like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in a kid's Halloween bag!  The Ravens are playing this game because they WANT to play this game and they WILL enjoy it!

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

If Flacco plays we win.

 

If not. We lose. Simple as that this week

Nah, too much on the line. Ravens win no matter who takes the snap.

[ellicottraven]

Our floor is 6-10 and our ceiling is 10-6. That's how unpredictable our team is both playing and coaching included. If we lose against the Jets we'll move closer to the floor than if we win. However, I don't know how we beat the Steelers and Bengals and the Pats in games that are coming up.

Bengals haven't looked good so we are definitely capable of beating them.

Steelers-Ravens games are always close-even when it seems one team should be way better--see last year when our hobbled team beat them.

Pats will be a tough game-granted-but never say never.

This Ravens team is a tram that plays all close games and that is capable of winning games we shouldn't--but also losing games we shouldn't.
