don't laugh....they are more similar statistically than different.....many aspects are near identical.

flacco is pretty equal to sanchez
ray rice = shonn greene + LT

rushing defenses are close
passing defenses are identical except number of sacks

both were atrocious on the road...the difference really boils down to the ravens being 6-0 in their division and the jets 3-3 in theirs

I think the ravens chances all boils down to their pass rush.....they don't have a chance if they can't get to brady often

Double TE

Hmmm...I think Rice is better than LT+Greene and by a wide margin. But to your point the Jets Receivers are better than the Ravens.

Also the Jets would have been 5-1 but they played NE 2x!! YEAH BABY.

Overall I see where you're coming from.

No way. Ravens are head and shoulders better then the Jets in almost all aspects of the game except corner. The only similarity is defensive scheme.

in terms of production, LT + SG = RR

in teresting that the jets pass defense was equal to that of the ravens while getting 15 fewer sacks.....and still having 5 more ints

even time of possession was the same......

I think the only difference is pass rush

I think its simply a matter of how the Pats D handles Ray Rice and Antwan Boldin...both are game changers.

3 elements to a win over Baltimore

1) Keep Rice from dominating at the LOS and under 75 Yards for the game
2) Double team Boldin because I don't think Torrey Smith is all that good and it gets worse from there and there is no more dangerous TE to worry about as it was with Heap
3) Its the OL that is key,slow down the Ravens fierce pass rush

They're not a carbon copy but the styles and issues are very similar -- a point I've made in other threads. Ball-control offense with an erratic quarterback that relies on the running game and an opportunistic defense to give them short fields, a balky offensive line, good wide receivers that are underutilized, etc., etc. Their fans even hate the OC and want him out.

There are similarities, particularly on defense. Both defenses beat up on terrible offenses to make them look statistically better than they are.

But Flacco is medicore at best, but still much better than Sanchez, and the OL and Rice is a substantialy better running game.

The Ravens are the Jets but with a better, yet still not so good offense.

Flacco is better than Sanchez

Rice is better than Greene/LT

Hali Ngata and Suggs are both better than the Jets equivalent. I think Ngata is the big worry for me, particulaly given mankins gimpy knee.

Webb is not as good as Revis particularly given the amount of holding Revis gets away with as upposed to every other corner in the league.

Ravens have been a Jeckle and Hyde team. Here's hoping the Pats get the team that showed up in San Diego, Jacksonville and Seatle. If that team shows up the Pats win going away.

If Pats get the team that showed up against the 49ers and Steelers then it will be a tough close game provided the Pats also show up. (To the Pats credit, even in their losses they have been more consistant than the Ravens and could have won any of the three losses.)
