Without a doubt, anybody who doubts what you just said is just being a cry baby, because they made their favorite team look like a bunch of little girls. They have never been controlled. Every time that defense steps on the field, I guarantee they make 11 upset stomaches. And no I am not a Ravens fan, but no sane person can doubt their greatness.

No...The most feared this past season, yes. But for the last ten years, the defense that has been consistently feared, year after year, has to be the Bucs. They finished in the top ten every year except this one, with playmakers at every position and a roster full of potential Hall of Famers. They had the speed to shut down Michael Vick's running game when no one else had figured him out yet. They demolished the Raiders #1 offense in the Superbowl with 4 interceptions. Other teams have had a few years of great defense, but over the last decade the Bucs are the only choice.

No, I don't think their feared but they are good. The true scary defense would be a healthy bears squad. I would have love to see what they would have accomplished this season. Meaning, the numbers they would have put up and records they would have broken. Their defense took them all they way to the super bowl. Don't forget that. And anyone who tries to tell me their schedule was too easy. Take a look at Baltimore's. I didn't see to many teams with winning records. And don't dare compare them to any 80's teams. Those teams were legendary.

Oh yes, and I dont think its close. The defense this year may have even been better than the Super Bowl edition a few years back. They came out and tore up the colts and didnt allow a single TD and they still lost .... I still can't believe that happened.
Oh yeah, McNair simply flopped in that game.
But back to the question, the Raven's D is on par with the Bears and Giants of the 1980s and Steelers of the 1970s and .

To the idiots that put that they are on the same class as the 70's Steelers, YOU ARE STUPID!! Until almost half of the Ravens Defense gets voted into the Hall of Fame, they are nowhere near as good as the Steel Curtain. If you try to compare Haloti Nata( or however you say it) and Adalius Thomas to guys like Mean Joe Green and Jack Lambert. To answer the question yes although they have had years where there were better defenses(the Steelers 2005, Patriots-year before that)

Not the last decade but the Ravens do have the best defence in the NFL for the last 5 years. and the best is usually the most feared. So the answer is No (for the time span) . BUT it is also yes (for the most feared).

Yes. No defense has been as good as they have for as long as they have. Even last year when they went 6-10, offenses were afraid to play them. If you doubt that they are to be feared just talk to Big Ben, he can tell you some horror stories.

They didn't put much fear in the Colts.
Seriously, it's either them or the Tampa D under Dungy.

Not even close. The Giants (when healthy) are far more scary. The Bears are even scarier. Ray Lewis is an old woman. The Steelers are not a joke either...
