the whole nfc south have a killer scedule the saints are just really really lucky with the rams and the lions outside the sceduled afc east and nfc east those two and the bills are the only teams under .500 we will face. If I had to guess our opponents avg over this season it'd be about .630. However carolina faces just one team under .500 in the bills (they are 7-9) talking about a tough scedule. damn

I think we see a repeat of the AFC North and South each sending two teams to the playoffs next year.

Steelers are my early favorite to go undefeated next year if I had to pick a team.

Playing at Houston is no walk in the park either. The field itself sucks, but they always sell-out Reliant and the team plays better at home.

If Tennessee can get a go to reciever, they can be dangerous again if their defense can stay healthy. Baltimore is one good player on offense of being a very, very scary team. Depending on when we play San Diego, they always can give us problems, especially since Merriman will be back.

Wow, we're getting slapped hard with a tough schedule too. We have to go to New York (G), Washington, Jacksonville and Tennessee, and we play Carolina, Indianapolis, Green Bay and Minnesota at home. Luckily we're in the division we're in.

yea i agree the titans are in the same boat as the ravens if either the titans or the ravens get a long ball receiver they will be dangerous because both defenses are stacked and have good running backs, o-lines, and decent QBs.

You have a good starting duo in Clayton and Mason. I would draft a younger, slot type of player to take over for Mason in the long run. Clayton came on this season with Flacco since he can throw the deep ball.
You have noone in your recieving corps that scare anyone outside of your top 2. Heap needs to stay healthy, so I would also look at another tight end.

Augh...I was hoping that since the Browns were playing the AFC West I would be able to go to one of their games in either Oakland or San Diego but both are Home games...

I have longed looked at Baltimore as being very potent but also very fundamentally flawed: they're built to stop the run, not stop the pass.
That's why they've given up these late leads, or why the Colts just seem to have their number. Now if Flacco flourishes that of course helps them as a whole a great deal, if the offense can become potent like we've seen flashes/exhibits of in the second half of the season. But that still doesn't address the flaw in the defense, pass rush/defense wise. They don't get to the quarterback quick enough. Having Ed Reed is an incredible boon for their secondary and specifically its pass coverage, otherwise the rest leaves some to be desired.
Now it would be one thing if Parcells or his former protege in Belichick were coaching the defense. They want to stop the run foremost, but they work and build on that for the defense as a whole. They can frustrate you in the passing game. Rex Ryan doesn't bring that as much, he might dial up some blitzes but not much more than that. I would gladly take that if I was a Ravens fan though, because I hate when he rushes only three on third downs.
