I love your pick of the Ravens, but could you explain why?

I like the Ravens. It's all about QB experience.

Defense should be top 3 in the league. Also, if Wallace plays well again and Perriman finally breaks out the offense can be decent.
Just hoping the O-Line holds up and Ozzie signs another good FA.
Pats and Steelers are the only other real competitors and we've beaten both of them, or at least given them a good scare, in the playoffs. So anything can happen.

Good enough for me, though I'm not betting the farm on that Wallace and Perriman combo.

We could use another receiver tbh. Pitta can still contribute and our running back committee is decent, so I think we'll be alright. Hopefully Joe figures out the regular season.

At least on the AFC side of things, I would have had the exact same reaction at the end of the 2012 regular season.

Have the feeling we will be getting the 4th Cowboy - Steeler Super bowl.

Ravens are a big time wild card for me in the AFC. They are the one AFC team that I could really see exceeding expectations and doing really well this season. Other than that I think the conference plays out pretty similar to last year.

Outside of the Patriots and Steelers, I believe the upcoming AFC playoffs will have different teams than last year.

I think the west is there for the Chiefs taking, so I expect to see them too. I wouldn't trust the dolphins or any of that afc south mess. I'm not sure about the Raiders. It's gonna be tough not having a home.

Ravens have started a new tradition ever since winning the Super Bowl. I bet we lead the league in season ending injuries since the beginning of 2013. We've just lost our penciled-in nickel back and Dennis Pitta, who had something like 80 or 90 catches last season.
Still believe in us?

The Pitta injury is heartbreaking. He's one of my favorite dudes in the league, and he's battled so hard his entire career. Then last season he had such a huge bounce back and was a big part of the team. It just sucks to see a guy who has given it all and had such awful luck get put out of the game once again.

This team's luck
I'm so glad they drafted Humphrey in the first now. Hopefully Webb can play decent in Young's stead.
The Pitta injury sucks, but not surprising. Puts a lot more pressure on the other offensive guys.
Not looking too good for us anymore, but my pick was a longshot anyways........

You should have been a Cowboy fan from 2009-2015. I find it hard to believe anyone had more season ending injuries or just plain key injuries than us for about 8 years. I know your pain trust me. And Otis and Mr. B will vouch for me.

I've never really hated the guy, but I dream of the day when we don't need to hang on to Ladarius Webb in our secondary. No, I hope in the back of their minds, the Ravens staff always considered that this day was more likely than not to come and figured anything Pitta was contributing was just a bonus. We have all the look of an 8-8 team this year.

I hope you are right but I am extremely worried about the Broncos. I like what they did in the off season.
