Ravens 2009 Schedule

Our home games look pretty easy, besides Pitt and Indy of course. But we could still go 8-0 at home this coming season. Did you know that the Ravens never allowed more than 13 points at home in a game all last year? Pretty impressive right.

It is gonna be a fun one when we go to Minn. I think they should allow both teams to wear their purple uniforms, that would be fun to watch. I hope the NFL doesnt screw us over and have us go to oakland, then come home, then go to san diego, then come home. That would put alot of wear and tear on us.

Overall though, I am satisfied with this schedule. It looks like it is the 5th or 6th easiest based on 2008 records (Pitt has 4th easiest schedule and they also play the AFC West and NFC North next year)

I am still trying to get it done and complete the way I want it to with all the breakdowns. School starting last week is taking a toll on my participation to BB. I will try to have it up soon and will email you when I am going to post it so no one posts on that day. Thanks

In our 2 uncommon games with the Steelers vs the AFC East and South, as division winner they get the Titans and Dolphins. We face the 2nd place teams and get the Colts and Patriots. Looks like they get a break facing what appears to be the weaker division winners going into next year. I’d rather play the Titans and fish than face Colts and Brady comeback Pats.

I don’t care what anybody says. We match up against the two crappiest divisions from last year. Indy and New England are the only tough draws.

Yeah, the Packers and Vikings are probably going to be the best two teams from the NFC North, so it’s tough to draw them, and drawing @ San Diego is not much fun either, but I’m glad we’ve got Denver at home where we can control the pace of that game. Denver was much worse away than at home. Of course, the same is true with San Diego.

let’s see…. we can’t beat Indy, Pats, Steelers with our current O plan but I see 10 wins with our current roster. unlike last year, 10 should get us a spot.

The Ravens home games in 2009 are: Pittsburgh L 17-13, Cleveland W 24-13, Cincinnati W 31-7, Chicago W 19-12, Detroit W 27-6, Denver W 21-10 , Kansas City W 30-9, Indianapolis L 34-10.

The Ravens away games in 2009 are: Pittsburgh L 24-13, Cleveland L 27-20, Cincinnati W 24-14, Green Bay W 17-9(i think we beat them once in our first pre-season game), Minnesota L 19-12, Oakland W 35-16, San Diego W 20-13, New England L 28-14.

I don’t see what magic will happen this offseason to make us believe we can beat the teams that always beat us like NE and Indy. As far as Pitt goes, they’re just as young and their offense is maturing. We may have a better O-line but what does that matter when we can’t get Ben down and he gets better outside the pocket. We also didn’t establish any run against Pitt outside of the 4th quarter of the first game. we sure didn’t stick with McClaine in the last game. they also had Ward out for 3 quarters.

i don’t think we can beat Pitt. next year. Ben is 30% better than Flacco. Holmes is better than all our receivers combined. Harrison and Woodley get more pressure on the QB. Troy is Reeds equal…..and Cam crawls into a shell with his play calling during big games. we’ll make the playoffs but we will again go into the season with an aging #1 receiver in Mason. Heap will limp through training camp and Clayton will still be viewed as a number 3 threat. they will all start and we will see a repeat of this years offense.

this is a huge year for getting the big time receiver. huge.

Best part about the schedule is LAMBEAU Field. I typically go to one away game per year. Unless it is on a holiday or I am on my deathbed (G-d forbid), I am going to Green Bay to watch the Ravens. Talk about psyched up!!!!!
