I just went back and looked. I also mentioned the Ravens top 10 run game when someone said "what run game?", quoted the reasons king gave to someone who asked why he ranked them, and told you that the Ravens have only missed the playoffs once in 8 seasons.
Definitely didn't defend it, but I did, and still do, think they'll make the playoffs.
Way too early to write any team off, yet, but losing Suggs is a major blow. The Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens were close enough to throw a blanket over last year, and losing a major playmaker like him could be enough to tip the scales. Time will tell, obviously.
As far as thread you're talking about, if you're going to throw up preseason Power Rankings as troll bait, you gotta be prepared to take your lumps when your offense looks that putrid out of the gate.
