Yeesh.
Perspective. Two of the Super Bowl favorites (according to the pundits) are now 0-2.
Maybe it'll work out? If not, at least this perennial powerhouse isn't looking hot.

If you ask Peter King (and, secretly, you did), yes. Maybe?

Fact Babin was depth/insurance. And main purpose is to allow the Ravens not to have to change/adjust the Upshaw/Doom rotation. (Ignorance is bliss) he will split time with Z Smith.
Fact I've schooled you all season on the Ravens CAP situation.
Fact they have Smith and Daniels replacements. Fact to you when wearing a Ravens uniforms players are garbage. When they leave they were all pro.
Fact EVERY team is not stacked in depth at all position. However the Ravens are considered to have great depth. Who cares what Luv Nut thinks.
Fact Bucs, Falcons, Jagaurs, Raiders etc wish they had different rosters.
Fact Ravens return 17 of 22 starters. So much for your roster theory. Just as many or more than the rest of the div.
Fact Ravens will make the playoffs
Fact Only 2% of the team's that have started the year 0-3 have made the playoffs in the Super Bowl era.

I'm betting the Falcons and Raiders are pretty happy with their rosters, as well.

Oh come on, don't be silly. The Ravens obviously have a more stacked roster than the Raiders. The Ravens would kill the Raiders if they played. Seriously, even if for some reason Baltimore's D didn't show up, you just know that an elite QB like Flacco will beat Derek Carr in a shootout, especially with the INSANE amount of talent Ozzie Newsome has stocked up on at the skill positions.

I can't argue with this logic.

I mean, Flacco did end the game with a better QB rating. You can usually count on 33 points on the road being enough. You look kind of dumb if you're going to suggest Flacco should have won the game with the 26 seconds his defense gave him after he gave them the lead and all they had to do was stop the Raiders once...

Secondary personnel and defensive scheme is hurting them.

Generally, when one QB has a slight edge in yardage and QBR, but the other QB throws more TD'S, most would say the guy with more Td.'s had a better game.

Good thing the Ravens got back all those injured DB's from last year.
As far as scheme goes, c'mon everybody knows you can put Jimmy Smith and Webb in man coverage on AJ Green practically the entire second half and they will keep him on lockdown. Those are both shutdown corners.

I'm trying to figure out where you came up with this idea/statement?
Especially since you quoted me.

Not that it means anything, but this is how Peter King is ranking it
So, he doesn't have the Ravens winning the SB any more? What kind of faith is that?
