Yes. They have the D to stop the arm of Palmer, can shut down the Pit run game, handled the Browns already and plan on doing it again. They are very strong, they are getting the running game in order and McNair is falling in a groove with his Wide Recievers. Look for Mason to have a huge week soon and keep it up. He made Boller look good during last year. This is a team that people will talk about for awhile.

Very possible. This is possibly the toughest division in the NFL this year with the Bengals and Steelers looming as potential division winners also. Baltimore now has a QB. Boller was simply not an NFL QB. I look at Baltimore as a wild card this year in the AFC. The Bengals look like the best team in the division to me, even after the Pats game. I like McNair very much and if Jamal Lewis and Mike Anderson can get the offensive line play in front of them, this team has an excellent chance to be 10-6 or better. Before the season started, I was picking Baltimore vs Washington in an all DC area SB as a longshot possibility. The Ravens at 4-0 look great but have two very tough games ahead against Denver and Carolina. The Ravens have a very tough schedule furthur ahead with two games against the Bengals and the Steelers plus a Nov 19 game against Atlanta. I look for the Ravens to have an excellent year and could just be the division winner if the Bengals stumble as they did last Sunday at home against the Pats.

Remember the Chicago Bears last season? Their defense carried them through the season and their offense lost it for them in the postseason. Now fast forward to this year, the Ravens have a great defense, but the difference is that teams are putting up more points this year. That means the Ravens have to put points up and a lot of them. Not going to happen and the defense will be burnt out by week 10. Sorry, but they still have a lot of work to do. Down with the Browns....I mean Ravens.

yes, they will win the division, and probably go on to the Superbowl...their defense is so strong, that even if mcnair does get hurt, boller should be able to manage at least a few points per game, and the defense will take care of the rest. I think their statistics speak for themselves...this is a championship calibur football team. Also, 92% of teams that begin 4-0 go on to the playoffs.
~Baltimore for life...i bleed purple & orange :)

This will be an interesting division to watch. Cincy was expected to own it, according to Bungals fans. But due to injuries and suspensions, they can't stop the run or protect the quarterback. Pittsburgh started slow as usual, lost the Bungals game after outplaying them (thanks Colclough). The Ravens have looked good, but I don't know whether they can put up points against a good defense (McNair isn't all that).
So, I guess we will just have to wait this one out for a few more weeks.

I think the Ravens have the upper hand because of their wicked defense. I also think McNair makes their offense real dangerous.

No. Cincinnati will finish ahead of the Ravens.

I certainly hope so. I couldn't stand to see Cowher and his boys get lucky enough to win again.
