Fear of the Ravens

[sb1]

PFT's power rankings comment:
10. Ravens (7-5; No. 13): This is the team that should be keeping Bill Belichick up at night.

LOL. The Ravens haven't won squat against the Patriots in over half a decade and Belichick should worry about them. No doubt we'll see some hand wringing here but not from me.

Using that logic the Patriots actually would have more to worry about if the Denver Broncos make the playoffs than they do with the Ravens.

2006 Colts could always show up

I will say this about Baltimore. They simply don’t have fear coming into Foxborough.

Wait...what???
Belichick sleeps?

Fear of the Ravens

Fear the Ravens...

The Ravens should be keeping the Steelers up at night. Let's start with that and see where it goes.

That’s really the bottom line. They aren’t a good team, but they’ve proven that they’re fearless about coming to Foxborough and they usually play the team tough. That said, each year is different.

(2) running QB's. Not a good match-up for our defense. They could win an ugly 17-13 game at Gillette.

Ravens last 6 games

L- New Orleans
L- @ Carolina
L- Pittsburgh
W- Cincinnati
W- Oakland
W- @Atlanta

They've beaten 3 teams in their last 6 games that as of right now are picking top 12 in the draft next year.
They have beaten 1 team all season that currently has a winning record, Pittsburgh

The Ratbirds haven't done anything notable vs us since 2012.

Since then they have been our *****es.

 

[Raymond]

They don't fear the Pats? Did someone take a poll? They last beat NE in 2012.

Their last 3 wins are Falcons, Raiders, Bengals.

Made the playoffs 2 out of the last 7 seasons.

Isn't their coach on the hotseat?

Lamar Jackson isn't coming into Foxboro in January and winning a playoff game? Sorry, I just don't see it. Joe Flacco...it feels like the code has been cracked on him since 2014.

They sure do get a lot of mileage out of playoff games played in early 2010 and early 2013, though. Can we apply this to other instances? "Boy, those Seahawks aren't afraid of NE (beat them 2-of-3 times since 2012)!"

TB has more rush yard than that Lamar kid. Linda Holliday keeps Belichick up at night not Ravens.

Ya the "they aren't scared to come to Foxboro" narrative annoys me. People say it as if they have a winning record in Foxboro. They won in Foxboro the year they won the SB and beat a Pats team that was probably losing to anyone in that wild card game in '09, put aside those games and as a franchise they are 0-8 in Foxboro. Which i'm sure the people that sh*t their pants about them will say "they play them close" except close only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Lamar Jackson looks and plays like a discount Cam Newton, i fear no birds.

@KC
Tampa
@SD
Cleveland

That's hardly a done deal to get in. If they beat the Chiefs we can start to worry.

 

[RedSleevesPinkStripes]

Dude, Ed Reed is gonna have a field day - 2 picks minimum off Brady

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Let's see how they fare the next three games. don't see Lamar or RGIII leading the Ratbirds over the Chiefs in KC.

Lamar already > RGIII at-least he can take a hit and have taken countless hits so far.
