All I know is, any team has a shot at beating a Joe Flacco-led squad.

[frogger]

Something maybe not addressed, they are one of the first teams that has a Sunday-Thursday game and it’s against the team that actually beat them out of a playoff game.

Each Bills fan just has to look at how much they themselves know about other teams around the league before they B word about Ravens fans.  Most of us only know what the national media tell us. The national media is telling all NFL fans that the Bills will suck hard, so I can't blame any NFL fan for thinking their team will have a bye week against the Bills. 

 

And yeah, having Peterman as the face of your franchise is not the greatest thing right now...

Are you even a Bills fan with that screen name?! How can you call out our Quarterbacks in your screenname GTFO

Are you a Bills fan?  Seriously?  Your avatar is Allen holding a Jersey saying "bust"?  wow.  Go root for the Pats. 

I know right. Who has a name like that ☺️.

 

Lighten up pal. We can do what we want with our names and profiles. It's hilarious when you react like that.. no he just sneaks around the bills Forum upset that we picked Allen, possibly hoping for a reverse jinx (it's real), and has a lot of bills knowledge... Definitely a jags fan.

Re: The OFFICIAL Ravens v. Bills Opening Day Prediction Thread

I just don’t know in this day and age how anyone can take any NFL team so lightly even though the Bills are the worse team on paper... some of the people here seem like all the Ravens have to do is show up and the Bills will simply fold... I think that this being the first game of the season that anything can happen and probably will. I am sure that both teams will have turnovers and both teams will capatilize on those turnovers. The Bills if they read this would more then likely figure what have they got to lose and go all out using trick plays, etc. to beat us. To me, that is when a team is the scariest ... I believe the Ravens will win but when it is all said and done it will be a nail biter and come down to a play or so at the end of the game... that is just the way Ravens football simply is...

[billsfan89]

I hope to be proven wrong but I am not too optimistic about the Bills chances, I don't think it will be a blow out but I really don't like the way this lines up for the team.

We have delusional fans on this board who think we are going to win 12+ games.

Why does this surprise you that a team's forum is filled with homers?

 

Its not being delusional to want your team and expect your team to do well.

 

I would rather go into a season with optimism than be a negative Nancy and a total buzz kill.

There is a fine line between optimism and delusion. I fashion myself a realist about the team. I hope that the coaching makes a big difference for this season. The talent isn't tragic but there are fundamental flaws with the team.

He's going to expose a number 1 going down with an extremely average WR, and Peterman throwing him the ball? It's not a mismatch it's just levelling the playing field.

We are 31st in the current power rankings. Only the talentless Colts (other than Luck) are ranked lower. I see no reason why this should surprise anyone. That said, I think Petermann is better than most everyone assumes, but he's going to be running for his life and have few open receivers to throw to in order to get the ball out quickly. Yes, he is better than they think, but I doubt he'll have a chance to show it. This OL struggled last year and at times were completely overmatched. Now they are even worse. I hope Petermann survives.

You have to look at more that one posting. 

 

The Washington Post has The Bills at 23.  Not bad considering we were there last season too

The Ravens have some offensive issues but they have a better QB and a defense that should be able to handle this teams offense. I don't think it will be a blowout because I don't think the Ravens will score a lot but I think it will be a 21-10 type affair.

it's clear their fan base is drunk with overconfidence. We want this and deserve this more. There's no game tape on the Urban Sombrero so we have the advantage of surprise

[Golden*Wheels]

I really don't know what to expect from the offense, but I could totally see a scenario where our secondary gets a few picks from Jump Ball Joe and if that's the case we're in it.

 

Just like how we won early last year, create turnovers, don't blow it when we have the ball.

McD is too good to go 0-4. If they lose in B'more, they go 0-4. So I am think they win.

Flacco sucks.

 

 

Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl while Nate Peterman made Tyrod Taylor look like a savior. You can say Flacco sucks all you want but Flacco has been a pretty decent QB for a team with very little talent at the receiver position and offensively in general the last 4-5 seasons. Flacco might be highly overpaid but he is a competent NFL QB, something I can't yet say about Nate Peterman whose greatest accomplishment thus far in his NFL career has been that he looks good in pre-season. 

 

So yes I feel very confident saying that the Ravens have a better QB than the Bills do at least on paper and from what you can project based off of what each player has done in their respective NFL careers.

Look at Flacco’s stats the last three seasons. Awful comes to mind.

 

And you have no feeaking idea of how Peterman will compare to Flacco.

Huh?  80% of the only QB to turn the ball over?  80% of the guy whose first pass against Cleveland scrubs now working at Jiffy Lube was a dropped pick 6?  80% of Peterman and we are gonna get destroyed.  The ONLY way we can win this game is if Peterman plays better than he did in the preseason.  You guys forget, Peterman MOSTLY played against scrubs...and guess what, all 3 QB's had good moments against scrubs, but the only 2 QB's to face a legit first string offense got destroyed behind this line (AJM and Allen in weeks 2 and 3).  NP didn't face a real first team, it was the first game of the preseason against partial starters and a vanilla D he will never actually face in a real game.  And yet he still threw an INT.  

 

Sorry, but some of you are still way over exaggerating preseason...NP needs to bring his best or we are getting destroyed.  And we still don't even know if his best is good enough to win in the NFL.  I will be rooting for him, would be awesome to see him go in there and upset the Ravens.  But man people are obsessed with over exaggerating preseason, especially if not considering the context of the performance either.  NP has a LOT to prove this Sunday, and it won't be easy.  And if he does, he will start to earn the right for more optimism.  I like the kid, so would be great to see him do well...I am just cautiously reserved at this point and not buying into the fools gold of preseason that gets people over hyped every year on players.

Flacco has been really bad recently. I have no idea if he’s better than Peterman at this point. I mean the odds are he is but Matt Ryan is better than Tyrod and we won that game last year. So who the hell knows.

Joe Flacco the past three seasons has thrown for 52 TD's in 42 games (He missed 6 games in 2015) against 40 INT's and has had a completion percentages of 64.1, 64.9, and 64.1 and considering the fact that the Ravens have had very little talent on the offensive side of the ball I wouldn't call those numbers awful at all. 

 

Peterman is a completely unknown entity but there is no reason to believe that given what little we know about Peterman (low draft pick, horrendous pro-debut, not a great physical profile,  and his only positive is a pair of good pre-season) that Peterman is better than Flacco who is at worst a competent starting caliber QB. 

 

Now could it be the case that Peterman plays better on Sunday? Yes, but there is no reason to believe that based off of anything other than chance, all past performance indicators and future projections do not lead you to believe that.

I don't think Flacco has been all that bad the past 3 seasons considering that the Raven's best skill position player the past 3 seasons has either been a mid-level RB in Alex Collins or a washed up Jeremy Maclin. Flacco hasn't been very good either, I think he has been average but an average QB with poor talent around him isn't going to produce very good results. 

 

I think that the Raven's do have an edge in terms of QB over the Bills. That's objectively true based off of what you can project and predict based off of what both players have done and are expected to do. Now that may not be the case once the pads come on and the players go after it. And even if you acknowledge the Raven's having an edge in QB play that doesn't mean the Raven's will win. 

 

But I think adding up all the pieces of the Raven's vs. the Bills I think that the Raven's just have an edge in too many avenues for the Bills to win the game. I hope to be proven wrong.
