Depends how you look at it. Think the offense in particular has a chance to be better with Henry in the fold, but worse with the OL questions. On defense, an already great secondary got even better, but the pass rush isn’t exactly a sure thing.
By default, hell no this ain't better with the departures we had. We went 13-4 last year. Unless, we win at least 14 games, we're not gonna be a better win. You know what this season could be? Something similar to the 2020 season.
Your skill of EFFORTLESSLY finding a way to talk about the Bengals when discussing something with our roster is very commendable.
JFC, dude. Go do a few shots.
Definitely not. Last years team was extremely good. It is super hard to replicate that. For 2024 to be as goof you'd need
Very well said
Naw its not at all… last year was easily a top Ravens team ever. We beat like 10-11 playoff teams and dam near all were by blowouts.. we were a more experienced OC away from winning a SB.
Agreed
When you put it like that, I'm overcome by pessimism, my friend. Don't do it to us or yourself. Let's all think bright thoughts, and the gift of a Superbowl victory will present itself. While everything you say is plausible, what you don't say is equally so. I believe that Lamar and his juggernauts will make it impossible for the league to defend. The few factors are a healthy Mandrews, Bate, an incredible Likely, a confident Flowers, and the Spanish bull himself, Henry. Lamar is in his second year of Monken's offense and will milk it fully. Our offense is capable of putting up more points than any offense can put up against our defense led by a first-year DC.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. THIS is how I feel and it inspired my 50-50 post a few days ago.
I wasn’t encouraged by rosengarten. I missed a good bit but he looked really rough in the first quarter. I don’t see him starting year one, he looks noticeably small and he seems a bit panicky in his approach.
I'm also seeing it closer to you then to rossi. I do think Rosengarten got better as the game went on but is that just because of the decrease in talent across from him?
Yeah I legit can't predict OL or WR.
I don't see the hate for Harty personally. Think he definitely didn't help himself today but also didn't see anything that made me think he was shit, but maybe that's just me. I'd probably be more pissed if someone else was out there killing it in the return game but it's all been pretty meh overall and I don't know what that reason is with the new rules.
The hate is from the fact that he was no better than any other returner and he's gonna have no WR value whatsoever. And this team desperately needs WR bodies.
