If the Ravens don't win the Super Bowl this year will it be a big choke job? Now a Top 4! ranked DVOA Team of all time. *OP Updated*

cool …
but you’re still wrong about the injury issue

maybe you just don’t know, but the Ravens have had worse injuries than the Dolphins this season

and for the record I’m not a Ravens fan myself - I just root for the brother with da 8 on his jerz

Dolphins have had games they've played without their entire starting Oline (Only have one starter back), Phillips out for the season, ramsey out first 6 weeks, waddle has missed games and is still banged up, reek has missed games and is still banged up, Achaine, mosert, Holland, our PFF rated number 1 center is gone for the season, our starting middle line backer is gone for the season, Xavien Howard has missed games.

That's a who's who list of our best players. I'm not trying to hear any whining from Ravens fans about their injuries. Injuries happen you just find a way, and clearly the Phins and Ravens have found a way. Everyone is hurt right now

It's crazy how casual the board is when it comes to football. These posters are looking up DVOA now like "what is he talking about, is that English?"

@Godless Socialist CEO Keep fighting the fight...

OP doesnt know how to deal with that beat down. Straight embarrassing at this point

Raven fans weren't gloating how they were the best team and can beat anyone when healthy

Stop trying to save face with the soon to be January melt down with another SB loaded squad. U aint slick fukk boy

Ravens are now a top 10 DVOA rated team of all time after 15 games played.

I'm one of the only people on the Coli who probably even knows what DVOA is

I see you are new to football, I've been watching a long time... here you go...

Dolphins lost pretty much their entire Oline, Waddle, Achaine and Reek at different parts of the season. They started the season without[ Ramsey, Phillips, lost X for the Buffalo game etc

No one has had worse injury Luck than the Miami Dolphins. Not even the Ravens and both teams face off for the number 1 spot next week

Um.. no one has had worse injury luck? Browns?

Nah this Ravens squad is better than The '19 Ravens, quite easily too. First of all Lamar is multiple times better than he was then, and has better offensive weapons, so those are the major gaps...

There isn't a major gap in defenses but I think this '23 Ravens defense is more of a big play defense, the wow factor in the knack for timely, game-swinging plays is huge with this one...

They lost their 3 games this year by a combined 12 points. Split with Cleveland. The Ravens can be beaten but the team that beats them will have to be able to match their physicality and need the personnel to corral Lamar. That's two MAJOR criteria that most teams won't have...

So the Ravens are rightfully the favorites, but the third criteria is simply something only in their control, chiefly Lamar. His career to this point, he's a Regular Season Guy. It's like Peyton Manning early in his career, different play styles obviously but a similar dynamic. Lamar has not looked like his regular season self in the playoffs, and could be on his way to another MVP which would strengthen the Peyton comp...

This nikka has won 75% of his games (57-19), I have my critiques certainly but this is a Hall trajectory. Yet he's 1-3 in the playoffs and it's not just the losses, it hoe he's looked, he simply doesn't look the part in the postseason...

So if he ever plays up to himself, the Ravens are gonna have a massive edge as most teams can't match the physicality nor have the personnel. Everybody thought the Niners had the personnel yet Lamar repeatedly shyt on Warner, Bosa, Young, and particular Warner who is one if The League's faster and more diverse linebackers, he got put in the spin cycle by Lamar many times. There was a play he thought Lamar was gonna run and let Bateman or someone get behind him on the pass, and there were plays Lamar ran and broke this nikka Warner ankles...

Ravens can be beat with the right matchup, but I doubt an NFC team will do it and if Lamar looks like this in the playoffs it's gonna be super, super challenging...

Only teams in the AFC really equipped to keep Lamar corralled are the Steelers and Browns and they both can get pressure with 4 AND have athletic and fast linebackers to track him down.

Um.. no one has had worse injury luck? Browns?

Who have the browns lost other than Watson who Flacco is outperforming?

Ok??? And did you not see the list of shyt I showed Miami lost????

Cleveland’s best unit isn’t their offense anyways

All these people claiming this shyt. Two teams as far as I’m concerned that have been decimated are the bills and phins and both just keep chugging along.

They lost both their starting tackles to IR as well(Wills and Conklin).

Losing your QB1, LT1, RT1, RB1 to IR and still 10-5 in a very difficult division. Stefanski deserves CotY looks.
