We will go 8-8.

Don't waist your time... she doesn't look as good off camera. Caked on make-up covering the wrinkles, varicose veins.... trust me.

Thanks for dashing that fantasy on the rocks of reality.

It's always easier to be pessimistic when it comes to "I told you so" threads.

Of course after winning 4 straight and disappearing, here come the Debbie Downers trying to resurrect these threads after one damn loss.

Hey, listen man. This wasn't an "I told you so thread" at all. It was a mere prediction. Not the law. I was starting a conversation, nothing more. And as far as resurrecting this thread after a loss... Look at the post history and look how it was resurrected by someone to rub my nose in it after ever single win. This thread has been far more "I told you so" by everyone else telling me how much I suck, than by me. Partly because I was wrong, but mostly because people just enjoy saying I told you so...

But if the Ravens go 9-7 and somehow squeak into the playoffs and go one and done.. I will sure as hell be back to post the 9-9 record though. LOL!

[Kevlar]

Please. They lost against the Steelers. If they lose next week, I'll be concerned.

They lost to Charlie Freakin batch, at home.

Yeah it sucks, but I chose to be an optimist. And the Steelers still have a top ranked D.

The Giants lost 4 in a row last year and still won the whole thing.

I choose to be a realist.

Nothing wrong with that. In the end of the day, I enjoy being a fan and it's entertainment for me.

Mostly I'm just busting your balls Paint... I'm a huge fan. Probably too big of a fan, because I let these games affect me the way that they do. When you wake up with nightmares after a Ravens loss... it's gone too far. But games like yesterday are not very entertaining. At least it's not entertainment that makes me feel good.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I still get emotionally invested in the games. It was a horrible game to watch as a Ravens fan. If they play that way in these next few games, they are in trouble.

[lobachevsky]

Any reason to believe they won't? Last week they needed a conversion on 4th & 29 to even be in position to take a team much less competent than any left on the schedule into overtime. (NB without that minor miracle--or the Cowboys missed FG try with :06 remaining--Furry's prediction would still be very much alive.)

Sometimes this board seems like a muddle of Micawbers, always hoping "something will turn up." I don't object to optimism, but I need at least a tincture of rationale in mine.

They let Flacco run the no huddle against the Redskins' terrible D.

they had Eli, we have flucco

What's your guess as to the chances they do? On the road??

And even if they start that way, what are the chances that they continue, even (especially) if they get up by a couple of scores, vs going into a shell & letting RG3 bring the Skins storming back?

I have serious doubts whether this coaching staff will understand that they no longer have the luxury of playing low-risk football in time to avert a general collapse.

Again that's not what I think is going to happen just what could go right. If Cam runs this gameplan from yesterday, we should chalk it up as a loss now.

[NCRAVEN]

12 -4 at best. Losing to... pick any of the remaining teams.

I really feel like we'll split the final 4 and go 11-5 have one home playoff game (maybe)

[bengtc]

this thread doesn't seem so far off base now...

[Paintballguy]

Looking like 9-7 not too far off

Bengals are 8-6, 1 game behind us, and man handled Philly yesterday.

It' gonna be tough picking up 10th win out there and most
don't expect to beat NY next week after they were humiliated
yesterday.

I called for a 9 win season but will be very excited to go into
POs with 10 wins after everything that happened.

I want the lower draft position. I have no problem admitting that.

If by lower, you mean closer to the top of the draft, I agree.

[lovefootball]

!0-6 or 11-5, anything else spells problems for all the Ravens coaches. Ravens win at least one more.
