The Baltimore Ravens limped into the bye week with a 3 and 4 record, two games behind the division-leading Cincinnati Bengals, and a game behind the last wild-card team. Any optimism that surrounded the team’s new direction after the Super Bowl (a younger and faster defense, stout run defense, power run game, and deep shot-play offense) has been resoundingly replaced with the questions that surrounded the team after the Super Bowl (the lack of leadership, disconnected defense, and unproven air attack).
The Ravens are at a crossroads. The rest of the season will be interesting to watch as we will find out what shape this team will take. Many predicated, myself included, that it would take the beginning of the season for this team to gel. Well, we are about at the mid-point of the season and this team is still struggling to find itself.
