Posted by Digitalkarma Preseason football in 2 days.... do you recall your preseason record last yr... it was awesome as i recall........... 36-14-1 I peaked during preseason bc I was damn awful in regular season 
i remember that part also...but was heck of a start to the year ... that is for sure 
this year 
Ravens with the most favorable schedule I've seen in some time, new blood at the helms ( Zach Orr had no business as D coach and Harbaugh should have known that) my main concern is O-line, receiving corps (looking at you Bateman)and Rouquan Smith returning to form.They will handle Indy. 
@Biscuiteater1
I wouldnt say most favorable. I've seen better and they still failed to make the most out of it. Their SOS is projected to be a tad easier this year thanks in part to the NFC South. Still got some challenging games though.. Houston, Jax, Buffalo, Philly etc
I agree that last season was an abomination in coaching and preparation. Falele was one of the worst Ravens guards in history I don't know what Harbs saw in him but thank God he took Falele with him. good luck Jaxson Dart...
Even tho I welcome the new head coaching changes I have some cautious optimism with the Ravens this year particularly at offensive line. Losing Linderbaum was super disappointing. I thought Ravens offered a good deal of money but he took just 5 million more to join a rebuilding team than play for a team that is playoff ready and still have title aspirations. Ravens recently signed Pocic as their possible replacement. He's a decent veteran so for the moment it seems they have plugged a temporary hole.
The Ravens have shedded their offense this offseason, another concern. Keaton Mitchell, Isaiah Likely, D. Hop, Pat Ricard all solid contributors gone. Depth wise the Ravens starters better stay healthy but hopefully they found some hit players in the draft that are starter ready. People have been talking about Jakobi Lane and his huge catch radius. If Lane can avoid the bust tag and not be another stat in Ravens horrible track record in drafting receivers , then they basically replaced D.Hop with a player that can play like D. Hop. I am hoping that is the case and could see why they decided not to resign him.
Overall I expect Ravens offense to regress a bit due to the offensive line protection. I peg them as a top 15 offense. They were ranked 11th scoring offense last year im gonna guess they end up dipping to 14th which isn't bad. Could be worse, but Lamar makes that offense look better than it could be. I think the pass protection will be a struggle again this year.
Defensively, I think Ravens bounce back from last season. With Madabuike's and Calais Campbell's return, I expect stronger contributions in the pass rushing department. I see the Ravens defense being borderline top 10.
With an 8-9 record last season, I think they can improve by 2 wins, maybe 3 if they're lucky. The key will be getting the season off to a good start and taking advantage of their early season schedule. I have them fighting for a wildcard spot
Tempered optimism rather than fanboy enthusiasm. Solid, level-headed analysis.
Good luck to your Ravens this season. I am not a fundamental analyst, but I know that Shedeur Sanders is wretched and so I am hoping Watson wins the starting job with a strong preseason performance rather than Sanders' incompetence.
Well I hear Jakobi Lane been having himself a camp and caught himself a nice one handed catch. If Lane had dreads I would've swore that was D. Hop making that catch. 
this is gonna be interesting if it can translate onto the battlefield against an opponent.
I don't think we'll be starting off rocky like last season so that will help. Maybe we go 5-3 or 6-3 which would give Ravens a good chance to make the postseason
Thanks DBW. After giving away Myles Garrett, the Browns will be an absolute dumpster fire this season. I wouldn't be surprised if they went with Sanders anyway because of his name. They are definitely reloading in 2027 and beyond. They'll probably aim for the #1 pick to go along with the first round pick acquired from Rams

Even with Lamar missing 4 games the Ravens came within a missed FG in Pitt of winning the division.I may be wrong in my assessment but feel strongly that we will be resting players for the playoffs before the season has ended
