10-7. That probably makes the playoffs but not a given.

I think they struggle early. Im concerned about the OL. Concerned about a new DC. I could see them starting 1-4. Do think they get better as the season goes on if they stay relatively healthy at key positions. Could be an under the radar threat in Jan. A position that I think would take some pressure off Lamar

11-6.

They will battle Cincinnati, whose schedule looks slightly easier, for the division title.  Either way they are a playoff team but will go out in the division round.

I think Henry will have a good year, but the overall production from the rushing game will be about the same as it was last year.  

The Oline will be a problem.  I don't have faith that it will be very good or consistent.  I have little confidence that Stanley can return to his elite form and stay healthy for a full season.  I also think they will miss the coach who just passed away.  He had a big hand in designing the Oline schemes they used.

I have questions about the new DC as well.  But with the veterans the Ravens have on the field, it's a lot like when Ray Lewis was here.  Your DC can sort of rely on them to make adjustments before the snap.  Still, they lead the league in sacks, takeaways, and points last year.  You have to expect a bit of a step back.

I read on some site that the Ravens lost the most impact plays by player of anyone in the league with the guys they lost.  That's a lot to replace.  

Of course it all starts with Lamar and whether can stay healthy.   As it is with most teams and their starting QBs.  

Last year was almost like 2019 during the regular season.  Everything came together and the Ravens evolved into the best team in the league.  That's a tall order to reproduce in back-to-back years, so I do expect some regression.  Not a dramatic decline but at least by a couple of games.   11-6.

11-6 I guess.

We had a worse offensive line, a depleted RB room, and a defense not as good as the current defense in 2021 and were still 8-3 until Lamar got hurt.

If Lamar is healthy, we're winning football games. Everything is on Lamar's health.

It's true. For the most part, with healthy / playing Lamar, they've consistently been division and/or conference leaders.

Lamar has a good year.
Henry proves he's no longer an elite back.
Defense is another top 10 unit.

Another frustrating exit early in the playoffs by a team wearing the Ravens' uniform, but that is utterly unrecognizable from its regular season self, followed by mountains of excuses for why it's everyone's fault but Lamar's.
