They were in every game they lost, and their worse loss was by 8 points to Arizona.
Close games like that, the loss of a Terrell Suggs could make a difference.
Absolutely, but the same can be said about many, many teams in the past 5 years that "weren't as bad as their record". But then that conversation gets crazy and people just argue over hypothetical situations and whatnot.
If we're simply going by team record, playoff appearances, playoff wins, strength of schedule, and other factual numbers, it's much easier to have a fluid discussion with something like this.
I do agree about the 2015 Ravens though, I don't think they necessarily "suck" outside of their W/L record. They haven't lost a single game by more than 1 score, so they can't be completely terrible.
