Baltimore Ravens Fans

[BigD16]

So I like to see opposing fans' reactions on their fan forums prior to the game each week. It seems that Ravens fans think that the Cowboys are overrated and that our running game will be easily stopped. Their takes are borderline delusional. This coming from a team that has 5 wins. I wish we got to play the Browns twice and the Jags.

Their homer goggles are blinding them from being objective at all. They mocked somebody who said that the Packers also had the #1 rushing defense up until the Cowboys played them. They seem to think that Joe Flacco all of sudden is going to stop sucking because they beat the browns last week 28-7.

Joe Flacco - #29 in passer rating. 9 TDs, 9 Ints, 264 yds/g, sacked 20 times.
Dak Pres. - #4 in passer rating. 14 TDs, 2 Ints, 260 yds/g, sacked 13 times.

All of a sudden they're predicting Dak will throw 3 picks, when stats will tell you that Flacco is much more likely to have such a game. One would think that they have the 8-1 record based on the comments. I am not saying that this will be an easy win and that the Ravens have no chance of winning. The Ravens very much could beat us. They have a legit defense.

I'm just glad to be a part of a forum with mostly objective fans who can be realistic and have intellectual football conversations. Thanks y'all.

They are saying they can stop Zeke because they were able to limit L. Bell. That's like us saying we can stop any WR because we were able to limit A. Green and OBJ.

They are delusional.

They are delusional.

Yeah, their logic is flawed in so many ways. They said our O-line got manhandled by the steelers. I'm wondering what game they were watching. They said the cowboys are not a physical team. Oh please, run blocking is all about being nasty and physical.

As I said before the green bay game when their fans got cocky and thought they could shut down zeke...

I'll guess we'll have to run it down their throats.

I went over there as well. Though of course there are the usual homer types as all forums have (which the op picked out in his examples), most seemed to me to be good enough people with reasonable expectations and some good football knowledge.

A lot of them know that they will need their best game to win but are counting on their defense and hoping Flacco can up his game to score some points.

Just because most of them were giving their team a chance doesn't mean they are delusional. The Ravens have a really good defense and has a chance to slow us down offensively. They will need to find some offense, but with our depleted secondary and lack of pass rush, they might find some. Throw in a break or two and who knows?

Seen MUCH more delusional fans on other forums before we play them as well as on our very own forum, lol.

Did they actually say that?

Every team has their delusional fans.

There are probably a few Browns fans somewhere pontificating on how they will crush the Steelers on Sunday. There are 49ers fans lecturing to whoever is willing to listen that the Patriots are going down this Sunday.

That's how fandom works.

I guess they turned off their TVs before the game winning drive

A really good defense that hasn't faced the Cowboys OL (#1 in league), or Zeke (#1 rb in the league). Or a defense that hasn't faced Dak (#2 in QBR rating behind only Tom Brady). Or the depth we have at WR and Jason Witten. If they stop that, then yes they are really good. Until then.

That is a great photo.

This o-line is not physical. Awesome!

One guy did. Doesn't mean they all think that, lol. That's like some other team's fan reading this forum and saying we all believe the same things Risen does.

I'm not sure which one you were at but the one that I visited is 9 to 1 in favor of them winning and shutting down Zeke. For as many homers that we have on this site, we have a lot more objective posters. Some even fearing the Browns to beat us. I think the only other forum that has this much biased is the eagles site in my opinion.

A true test for them for sure. Hopefully we will drop their defense down a few rankings.

Yes they did, let me find the quote and paste it for you.

This is one "Watching the Steelers Cowboys game now and i already feel good about our matchup. They are not used to our physical type of play. They look intimidated. They are a bundle of nerves along the Oline."

This is another "As far as i can see Dallas has had some big plays but have been man handled a lot."

Denial. It's a common message board emotion.

I wonder what they'd say if Swaim didn't get injured. It's easy to talk now.
