No one does. It's freaking football. Nobody is afraid of going anywhere. Except like maybe Cleveland. In a trade.I will say this about Baltimore. They simply don’t have fear coming into Foxborough.
Sometimes in the morning, I only eat have of my bagel.. I save the other have for a mid-morning snack.If the Ravens makes the playoffs, have of the posters here would self combust...
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.
2011 - We barely beat them to advance to the Superbowl thanks to Sterling Moore's slap of a Lee Evans TD reception and with the kicker missing a tying FG....Suggs' expression on the sidelines was priceless, LOL.
Not sure if you knew this... The Patriots have never actually won before..I'm sorry, I've been told repeatedly that Lee Evans simply dropped that ball.
Somehow, this narrative exists despite clear evidence that a Patriots defender knocked the ball out of Evan's hands.
Wait...what???
Belichick sleeps?

The Ravens are not a team to fear but one to be respected. As long as they have their HC I don't count them out. However this is a very different team that the Ravens in the early 2010s
Lets look at signature wins and all of their loses. Personally I don't care much about the week 2 loss to the Bengals or anything in the first quarter of the season all that much. Nor do I put much stock in a week 5 loss to the Browns to be honest. You should have it together more by that point but it is still early in the year.
Instead lets look at their other 3 loses. They lost to the Saints by 1 point in a game that should have gone to OT if not for a missed kicked. The Saints are arguably the best team in the NFL and they played them evenly for 4 quarters.
They lost again to the Panthers in Carolina. Again it is hard to be critical of this. Carolina is a dud on the road and stud at home. Playing Carolina at Carolina is one of the hardest draws in the NFL this year.
Their 3rd loss was to the Steelers. This loss happened in their house and was a chance to get a mid season signature win and put the NFL on notice. They failed to do this at their own house. To be fair Pitt knew what it would mean if the Ravens beat them 2 times and this became a must win game for them. That being said this was a game that would have put the Ravens in the drivers seat. You need to be able to win game that they other team can't afford to lose. While only a 7 point loss this game was never really that competitive. The Steelers pretty much imposed their will on the Ravens for 60 minutes.
Again this game feature Flacco and not Jackson but I don't think Jackson is a huge upgrade or downgrade really. Just a different style of player. That loss and they way they lost at their own house gives me pause when it comes to considering the Ravens a true threat.
Particularly if they need to walk into New England.
