Ravens: Why all the hype?
#2
(09-09-2015, 11:33 AM)clevelandsdad Wrote: Honestly, I cannot see any legitimate reasons for the preseason hype (media driven, of course) for Baltimore. Their best playmakers are way past their prime (Smith Sr. and Forsett), they lost their best defensive player (Ngata) and have sustained key injuries on defense. Not to mention their QB is the antithetical Andy Dalton (bad in regular season, killer in postseason).

The only thing they have going for them is Harabaugh. But other than him, it seems like they've only gotten worse.

Can anyone enlighten me on this unfounded hype?

Not a lot of hype really.............. I'd rather not have the hype at all and fly under the radar. I've seen them being ranked mostly between 8-15. Steeler are ranked #5 currently in the NFL power rankings. They are more favored.

I don't think there is a lot of hype or talk about them. What I think you are reading into is that most media know and seen that they have been constantly in the playoffs and/or going deep in the playoffs for years. They play "winning" football....which is won in the trenches on both sides of the ball. So it's more likely to they have a good season than a bad one.
