Smeargle said:The Ravens will not be NEARLY as good next year because their defense is going to have to be pretty much completely reconstructed, and they lost their best receiver. First, Ray Lewis retired. Second, they got rid of Bernard Pollard. Third, Dannelle Ellerbee (I apoligize if I spelled it wrong), Anquan Boldin, and Paul Kruger got signed to other teams in free agency. And forth, Ed Reed may not be coming back.
They kind of put themselves in this situation when they gave Joe Flacco that mind-boggling 6-year/$120.6 million dollar contract.
