Ravens vs Bungals

The best thing I can compare it too would be if last year the 49er's went to Cleveland and shut out Cleveland at home, would you think the 49er's were good or would you look and see both teams were turds but one team was a bigger turd?

Two turds, one used a running game and the other one had a QB who threw it everywhere except where it was supposed to be. Watch Core run through the Ravens D completely open and watch Dalton sail the pass out of bounds. Not good teams...not even close.

I don't think anyone would compare the Ravens or Bengals to the Browns or Niners from last year. The Browns were 1-15 and the Niners were 2-14. 

I get that you're trying to say as many times as you can that the Ravens are terrible and will finish below .500 this season as a means of making this defeat less painful, but your comparison is off base. Whether or not the Ravens or Bengals end up being worth a damn, going on the road and shutting out a team in their home opener is impressive. The last time it happened was 2006 when the Ravens shut out the Bucs. The Ravens have done it before in 2000 when they shut out the Steelers in the Pittsburgh home opener. NFL history buffs know that 2000 was the legendary Ravens defense and 2006 was the only year they finished 1st in defense. 

Does that mean that this team will finish in a similar fashion as those two? Not necessarily, but it paints a far more impressive picture than the "this is two turds playing each other, who cares" narrative that you're so desperate to push.

I'm still not sold that they will finish with more than 9 wins, but I'm starting to see what some pundits have been saying about this defense.
