It was 1997 -- by the Arizona Cardinals.

The last time any current NFC East team won in Baltimore was in 1981, when we beat the Colts the year they went 2-14.

No current NFC East team has ever beaten the Ravens in Baltimore.

Thank you for confirming my point that the Giants will lose that game

For starters, the performance of other NFC East teams in one stadium has no bearing on another. What's relevant here, is the 2012 Giants have never lost in Baltimore.

Further more, it's way to small of a sample size to look at because you are talking about 2 games ever 4 years. That's how often NFC East teams play in baltimore. twice every 4 years, that's it.

And I did look it up and it hasn't happened yet, but you can't take that mark seriously just based on the sample size. It's no different then when people wrote us off week 1 saying the defending SB champ is undefeated in the week 1 game. 7-0 or what ever it was was nothing and really had no bearing on us because these 2 teams had never played.

Stats can be used to prove whatever point you're trying to make.

I don't think football's a numbers game that can be figured out with a calculator.

Again name the price. To write the Giants off in 4 games is a mistake. They aren't that good and may even drop to 8-8, but they will not go 0-4 in those games. They will find a way to get one maybe two.

If Eli Manning is still the QB I expect them to lose all of them

yea outside of the whole cliche "anything can happen," the conclusion he is drawing makes no sense. at somepoint an NFC East team will win in Baltimore and when it happens, either this year or 4 years from now it won't be that big of a deal.

I just haven't seen NFC East teams go to Baltimore, Cincy, or Pittsburgh and get a win. The Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, and Skins all struggle when they go to one of those stadiums

The NFC East is currently 0-4 on the road vs those 3 teams

Skins and Eagles lost at Pittsburgh this season

Cowboys lost at baltimore this season

Giants lost at Cincy this season

The whole NFC East-in-Baltimore thing is an oddity, but the Ravens also have won 24 of their past 25 home games.

that has far more a bearing on what will happen when they meet. The NFC east in baltimore thing is exactly what you said, an oddity

so what will happen when we go to Cincy? You writing us off? I hope not and doubt you are.

I want us to make the playoffs as much as any fan. It will make this misreable start to the season worth it and while I don't think we will win very much in the playoffs, the fact that it's anyone's game is enough for me.

But Pittsburgh beat the skins and eagles because they are better, not because they were at home.

While we almost won, we lost at Baltimore because they are better. Wouldn't have changed if it was in Dallas.

I don't know who will win when the Giants play in Baltimore and I certainly will be rooting for Baltimore, but I do know the Giants will not go 0-4 in the 4 games you have them losing.

Problem is theres 4-5 more losses for the cowboys too
