Play offs: Who are the Raven's biggest threats?

Answer 1

the chargers are deffintally there biggest threat because LT and gates will put the ravens "D" to the challenge plus the chargers have a decent defense

Answer 2

Look no further than the AFC West....

The Chargers and Broncos give them the biggest problems matchup wise. The Broncos already beat the Ravens this year, and that was with Plummer at the helm, now with Cutler starting at QB the Broncos are even better

The Chargers are the most balanced team in football, great defense, great offense.

The rest of the teams in the AFC are a joke.

The Patriots cant get it together on offense or defense
The Bengals act like pass offenses are like the wind, they just cant stop them
The Colts would let my grandma run for 100 yards against them.

The Ravens, Broncos, and Chargers are the most complete teams in the division. The question on the Ravens is can McNair stay healthy through the playoffs. The Broncos question is still Jay Cutler. The Chargers, well, they dont have many questions anymore.

Answer 3

Obviously in the AFC there are the Chargers, Colts, and Patriots, who in all likelihood will be the other 3 divisional winners. The wild-card in the AFC shouldn't pose any threat to them. In the NFC, I really don't think there's a team out there who can beat the Raven's when they're on their game, but for the sake of argument, the Bears, Saints, and MAYBE the Cowboys (if they win the NFC East). The Bears Defense is playing well enough to make up for the slouching offense. The Saints have been the feel-good story of the year, and with Drew Brees coming in as a strong candidate for MVP, you have to give them some consideration, even though they have a weaker defense. The Cowboys.... two weeks ago they were the team to beat in the NFC.. now they're struggling just to clinch their division. The Eagles, by winning out, can take the division from the Cowboys, but pose no big threat in the play-offs without McNabb, even as good as Garcia is playing right now.

Answer 4

Are you asking who threatens them the most or who on the Ravens is their biggest threat. I want to go the other way. The biggest threat on the Ravens team is Adalius Thomas and Ed Reed. Those guys are sick . Steve McNair has always been a class act and is a great quarterback. Hopefully he'll be healthy. The Ravens are probably a second round playoff team at best right now, but could surprize alot of teams with their defense.

Answer 5

4 teams. Colts (11-3), Chargers (12-2), Bears (12-2), and Patriots (10-4) are all good enough to take out the Ravens. Just take a look at the standings. There's no doubt however that with the Ravens new offense, they have a shot at going all the way.

Answer 6

the new england patriots and the san diego chargers are the ravens biggest threats although the indianapolis colts are a threat as well and if the new york jets can get in then they are a threat in the playoffs and whoever else gets into the playoffs say the jacksonville jaguars or whoever the two wild cards end up being are threats man the whole afc is a threat as that's the better conference

Answer 7

The Colts are the biggest threat. I don't see San Diego being a hostile environment for the Ravens.

Answer 8

The chargers, because they'll be playing at home. I think the Ravens would beat Indy because they have a 3-4 defense, and Manning isn't as good when playing 3-4 defenses.

Answer 9

The Colts.

The Ravens rely mainly on their D-- like the Bears. Peyton and Colts can pentrate any D if they are playing well. If Indys defense comes up with any kind of game, they will give the RAvens a tough time I think.

Answer 10

Whoever they play in the first week of the playoffs, if they don't get everyone off the injury list. If everyone is healthy, I doubt anyone can stop them.
