The Baltimore Ravens are the Houston Rockets of the NFL

Are the Baltimore Ravens the Houston Rockets of the NFL? Their analytics are Mickey Mouse-ish. By any objective measurement the Baltimore Ravens are awesome... and then in the playoffs the Chiefs are going to beat them by 40. They shit pump all the bad teams, but when the chips are down... they fall short.

Opinion Football Medium

Both teams at the time were known for high-efficiency regular seasons and early playoff exits against the eventual champions.

The Baltimore Ravens are frauds until they can win from behind

The Baltimore Ravens are frauds. They are F-R-A-U-D-S frauds. They panic, they look terrible on Monday Night Football. The stat was 18 and 0 with a ten-point lead, 0 and 5 with a ten-point deficit. They can't come from behind. They're very good team, but kind of like Oregon back in the day with Chip Kelly... until I see it, I don't trust that the Ravens offense can work when it gets in a hole.

The Ravens finished 11-5 and won a playoff game but were eliminated in the Divisional round after falling behind the Bills, somewhat validating the 'play from behind' critique.

I agree that the 3-0 Bears are frauds and not an exceptional team

I have a lot of Ravens fans be like, 'dude, the Bears are frauds.' I agree that they [the Bears] kind of are. I don't think the Bears are like an exceptional team. I won't apologize for three and oh, while also thinking like, 'yeah, this might not end so well.'

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

The 2020 Bears started 5-1 but finished 8-8 and were widely regarded as a mediocre team that lucked into a playoff spot.

The Ravens will score 45 points a game over their next three games against the Washington Football Team, Bengals, and Eagles

They're going to kill the Washington football team. They're going to kill the Bengals. They're going to kill the Eagles the next three weeks... They're going to pop off with 45 points a game. They should beat the [Washington] football team by 30 points.
