What do you think of the Baltimore Ravens this season?

You do not hear a lot from them they just seem to win every week. While I admit there schedule has not been hard but they have already beat San Diego.They are the most balanced team there is in the NFL. Plus they are healthy.\n If you look at history the Colts have problems with teams who blitz effectively. I am not going to be surprise if they play in the final game of the season. ( I do not mean the pro bowl).

They are a good team I like them alot but i also am a Cards fan so i look for there flaws.  other than Lee there outfield isnt that great.  also there corners are not that hot.  But some how with out Sheets they have started off 5-1 with todays lose.  Ohka is a very good pitcher and should look for him to end up the number 2 man by the end of the season.  But there bench is not that good and other than turnbow their bulpen is 3rd rate so look for them to come in a close 3rd place behind the Cards and Cubs

Next year with Timmy Tebow at the helm of Urban Meyer's offense, my pick is Florida.  But Chris Leak is just not mobile enough to be active in the spread-option.  He's suited more for a WCO when he gets in the NFL as he just can't run well in a shotgun-offense.  The team is good but Caldwell will emerge as a great replacement for Chad Jackson.  \n\nSouth Carolina has a chance to surprise most people.  But Steve Spurrier needs a QB as Blake Mitchell is tough but just not good enough.  Sidney Rice is a stud at WR and the defense is up to snuff.\n\nLSU again inherits another good-looking team.  JaMarcus Russell is a great leader and is very Byron Leftwich-like in my eyes.  Can he lead the team TO though SEC Championship game?  Very likely and I expect big things out of the squad this year.   Addai is a loss but LaRon Landry returns to an already great D.\n\nAuburn is my personal favorite to take it all this year, but LSU may edge them out.  They do lose 2 good recievers in Aromashodu and Obomanu but keep perhaps the best RB in the SEC, Kenny Irons.  Brandon Cox is developing and is looking great in terms of being the heir to Jason Campbell.  Can they win?  Yes, favorable schedule but they need to beat LSU on September 16th.  \n\nTennessee is always favored to be a great sleeper team and now that Fulmer gets his QB coach back (name slips my mind) but he made Shuler, Manning and Tee Martin into respectable QBs.  Ainge should make small improvements but is his confidence/desire, there?\n\nMy pick, LSU or Auburn.

I think the team is decent.  I don't think they will win it all, but they are good enough to cause trouble and possibly might be able to take out a more favored team.

I don't think so. With the way the NFL is these days, they could easily find a way into the playoffs, but I woudln't consider them a championship caliber team.\n\nTheir greatest strength is their offense. They have a great RB, two phenomenal WR's, and a very good QB in Kurt Warner. The also added a potential all-pro TE in Leonard Pope, so their biggest concern offensively will be whether or not their OL will gel and perform at a productive level.\n\nDefensively that is where they need the most work/help. They upgraded the secondary last year and need for alot of their younger guys to take the next step. \n\nAll of that being said, I think we should definitely see an improvement on last years 5-11 team as long as Kurt Warner can stay healthy, he is the key.

I think they will have a tough season.  They just dont seem to bring in the talent after that stripper madness.  They will be ok but not contenders.

I would say not this year.  They need more time to come together as a team.  Am I the only one still grieving over the loss of Vinatieri?  Between Belichick and Brady, things should come together, I just think it'll take them a season or two to get things down.

It's been an amazing run for Rutgers, but I think it's going to come to an end against Louisville.\n\nI'm not a Cardinals fan, but I think their offense will put up enough points against that stingy Rutgers defense to win the game.  I'd be surprised if Louisville won in a blowout, but I'd be absolutely shocked if Rutgers won the game by any margin.  I know they're undefeated, but their schedule isn't exactly full of tough wins.\n\nShould be a good game.  I'd love to see Rutgers surprise everyone and run the table, but I'm guessing that they'll lose next week to Louisville, and to West Virginia in early December.

I like McNair and I'm a Colts guy.  I got a lot of respect for the Baltimore players, but the AFC north is gonna be tough and the AFC is stacked with teams waiting to get the 1st and 2nd wild card.  I hate to tell you but it won't be this year...maybe next year, but it's too early to tell.

There's too much up in the air this year.  For the past couple or three seasons there have been one or two teams that, going into the Fall, looked like the main title contenders.  This year there are too many to count.  I think Auburn has a shot at running the table this year (like they did in '04), but this time they'll get the spot they deserve to play for the championship.  But Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, USC, Florida State, Miami (FL), LSU, and California all have legitimate chances of making it to the top of the heap.  That's what's so great about college football!  Every Game Matters!!!\n\nI love your shout out to the Dawgs (that's who I root for), but I'm a realist.  While they certainly have a shot, there are too many question marks left.  Will Joe T. step up as the QB we hope he can be, or will true freshman Matt Stafford win the job and lead us skyward for the next four years?  Will our young receiving corps all meet their expectations?  Will the defense continue to dominate, even with significant losses in the secondary and linebacker units?  Coach Richt is incredible, but can he truly lead us to our fifth top ten finish in a row?  Let's hope so.......

Yes. They are returning all of their starters, and have added to their secondary in free agency and the draft. They've got Grossman back and healthy for the season (cross your fingers), and now have Griese as a suitable backup. At the receiver spot, Bradley was starting to come on last year before he got hurt, and Berrian hsowed some potential towards the end of the season, and obviously they have Muhammed in the #1 spot. As far as the tight end situation, they don't have a stand-out player at the position, but Desmond Clark is at least serviceable, and Ron Turner's offenses typically dont rely heavily on tight ends. The problem that I do see is what most see as the strong suit- running back. I've got a bad feeling they're going to end up going with a RB-by-committee situation, which I think is a bad idea. Platoon situations don't give either back a chance to get into a real rhythm. Jones is already not happy with the situation, and I'm sure Benson won't be after long. I think they do have a chance to go to the bowl this year, but I think they may be one more year away.

I think they'll come back.  They have a lot of offensive weapons, but it seems like they were throwing too much.  If you remember last year, they ran Rudi Johnson effectively which set up the big plays on the outside to Chad Johnson.  I still think they'll make the playoffs.

Oh, I do!\n\nYou obviously have some answers from people who don't actually follow football very closely. The Ravens are a VERY dangerous team simply because nobody plays TEAM football like they do. If the defense is having a "bad hair day", then McNair will step up and murder you. If McNair sucks today, then the defense will run two take-aways back for TDs. If everybody sucks, the special teams will run the punt back for the last second TD to win the game. \n\nThey define the expression "stepping up". They not only do it each week individually but they, as a TEAM, have the patience and trust to wait for each other to do it. Lets not forget that Brian Billick is a simply brilliant coach who can make something out of nothing as well as any coach in the league.\n\nWith a team like the Ravens, the farther they go, the tougher they get! The last time the Ravens were playing this well, they won a SB. (And they did it WITHOUT a QB...........)\n\nThey are not my team, but I personally think that they are the scariest team in the NFL right at this moment........

Not very good.\n\nThe pitching staff is very nice w/ Clemens, Oswalt & Petitte.  The offense is 2 guys (Berkman & Ensberg).  They do not have enough offensive firepower to make a run this year.

The Redskins are coming off a very respectable year under coach Gibbs.  \n\nThey have added WRs Randle-El from Pittsburgh and Lloyd from San Fran to an offense that returns WR Moss, QB Brunell, and RB Portis.  This offense should be able to put points up against any defense.  \n\nOn the other side of the ball, the defense is bolstered by a key pick up in the secondary with safety Archuleta from St. Louis and some draft picks that could add to the LB squad.\n\nTO SUM UP:\nWith everything in place for the Redskins, they are going to have to really get creative if they want to break fans hearts again this year.

I think that the Pats will have a pretty good season next year, not enough to win the superbowl but they will do better than the Jags.

Oh yeah, I'm in full agreement here. They have really built Young up but on the same note News2 out of Nashville reported how much he had to learn and how simple how Young had made learning sound. Hopefully, he is more serious than how it sounds. Of course, look what they did with PacMan Jones. Geez, I wondered why with that one. And, is it true McNair has gone to Baltimore?? Not sure how I feel about that. I know he had lost much of what he was. But, was it all him?? I really like him even though he seemed to be losing it. \n\nOkie dokie, I'll stop before I get carried away :) Just a Tennessean who loves her Titans and want them to have a fantastic year!!
