It’s all fun and games but this Ravens disrespect is going to age like milk in just a few months. Ppl are vastly underrating how good their offense is going to be this year that will far offset any step backs they take in defensive ranking. Even if they go from giving up 16 PPG to 18-19 PPG that’s hardly going to matter when their offense is scoring 35 PPG because opposing defenses have no answer for combo of speed of Lamar and power and speed of Henry and #1 passing attack in league against loaded boxes.

I'm a lions fan and you guys SMOKED us last year. It was our worst loss by a mile. And when you guys beat the 9ers, I thought you were going the whole way and started rooting for you guys on the AFC side. And then I was so disappointed in Lamar. It was like he lost all that confidence. I think having Henry will take pressure off of him, but that fall off at the end of the season was big.

[@segagenesis7708]

@@SeanMog Our team just isn't built to throw the ball in the playoffs the way we need to. In the regular season it works, but Lamar still had to be our leading rusher. He needs to play better, but by the same token, it's easy to forget that he's playing for an organization that has historically cared as little about the passing game as any in the league. Heck, it was like pulling teeth for him to get a new OC and them to actually spend half on a WR that you guys just spent on St. Brown. They're slowly getting there. This year, we're going to feature Andrews and Likely on the field together. Now, we have NOTHING behind Zay Flowers and that's a concern, but Lamar's second year in Monken's offense should help.

Mina is criminally low on the Chargers. They arguably haven’t gotten any worse. They’ve improved in areas like O Line, RB, TE, Edge, LB, and coaching. Last year they lost 7 games by less than one score, and 6 of those games were playoff teams by a field goal (Dolphins, Cowboys, Lions, Packers, Bills, Chiefs). This includes games that Easton Stick was starting. Ekeler was dealing with an injury all year, and Mike Williams on IR since week 4. People wanna say the WR room took a huge step down, but they made the playoffs in 2022 starting Josh Palmer and Deandre Carter for several games while both Keenan and Mike missed large portions of the season. They don’t need big names at WR. Go back to Herbert’s rookie year and he’s throwing 40 yard TDs to Jalen Guyton and Tyron Johnson. If I remember correctly, since Herbert entered the league his run game has been 25th, and defense ranked 28th while having a top 7 pass game. There’s no way the run game and defense is going to be that bad under Harbaugh, Roman, and Minter. I conservatively think they’re in the top 12-15 range. -Crazed Chargers fan

It’s really disrespect first and foremost for Lamar who ppl act like he needs a #1 ranked defense to win when his teams historically score 2nd most points in history per game behind Mahomes with a chance to overcome Mahomes for 1st. It’s also disrespect for the impact Derrick Henry is going to make on their offense. This is going to be the highest scoring offense Lamar has ever had and the 2019 team scored 33 PPG. Ravens could clearly afford to give up 2 to even 4 more PPG. It’s also disrespect for Roquan Smith and their infrastructure defensively by vastly overrating Mike MacDonald impact on their defense that has been ranked top 10 18 of the last 25 years with well over half a dozen defensive coordinators. Their unit with MacDonald along with PQ were both subpar before the Roquan Smith trade he is the force multiplier.

Keep the Bills disrespect coming. Can't wait to see what Josh does with 6 viable WR 2 insane TEs, 2 amazing RBs with different playstyles, a wealth of LARGE redzone targets, and no divas crying for the ball causing Allen to force it to him. We currently have 9 countem NINE pass catchers on our roster who are 6'4. If you don't think that will cause teams headaches to cover guys that size in the red zone while Josh Allen is always a threat to just run it in - I want some of what you're smoking.

Just a note on the Steelers. They did go 5-1 against the AFC north last year. Beating Baltimore twice. If Russell Wilson tosses #'s like he did in Denver last year, this team could really beat out expectations. The D will do their thing, and they brought in some key players, esp Patrick Queen who should allow Minkah to go back to doin Minkah things. I wouldnt sleep on the Raiders. The Defense is good, Max Crosby a beast. The Offense has some great weapons. If Minshew plays like he did last year, or O'Connell takes a step forward, they could be a very dangerous team. Remember they beat KC on Christmas last year.

[@YourDaddyismydaddy]

Yes. Ravens have been to the playoffs multiple years and have shown they can't do it. Lions made there first conf finals and blew it themselves

[@segagenesis7708]

When he said the Ravens have a lot to prove, I was willing to listen. When he said they have the most to prove of those four teams, that's when I rolled my eyes. They were the best team, in the best division, in the best conference, pretty much until they ran into the Chiefs in the playoffs.

[@jimhardy8686]

And they beat the crap out of the Lions last year! I get this part of what he was saying: offseason moves. The Lions improved themselves in the offseason while the Ravens probably lost more than they gained. Also, the Ravens are completely rebuilding their O-line, and that's a scary area to have questions about. Those are solid reasons to project other teams ahead of the Ravens. But saying the Lions have "proven" more than the Ravens have, sounds very weird.

[@joshkennedy2868]

😂😂😂 are you seriously asking that question? Did you not watch the playoffs? Did the Lions prove more then the Ravens. 😂😂

[@TheMko4321]
