Do Ravens Need A Wakeup Call?

wide right · Sep 19, 2007

The biggest difference in the Ravens this season compared to last year is attitude. A year ago, there were no expectations. That team established a strong work ethic and worked hard to reach the playoffs. The Ravens finished 13-3, but failed to in their attempt to win a playoff game against the Colts. The desire is there to get back to the playoffs, but I believe the Ravens think they can turn it on and off when they want. That doesn't work in the National Football League. Consistency is hard to achieve, and then a team has to peak at the right time to win a championship. Against the Jets last week, the Ravens played hard for three quarters, and then toned it down in the fourth to let the Jets back in the game. Somewhere during the season, the Ravens are going to get a wake-up call that will turn them in the right direction. This is a good football team, but not as businesslike as a season ago. Meanwhile, Willis McGahee hasn't lived up to advance billing, but he has shown steady improvement. He'll get better as the season goes on, and he gets more playing time. Also, more yards will come as the young offensive line gains more experience.

I think they are better than their record will show this season, but I have never been sold on Willis as a star RB. He is not gonna be much better than we are seeing now IMO.

I saw the Ravens as a Super Bowl contender...after watching them in first two weeks I see them barely making playoffs unless they wake up. On paper they look good but they've looked just ok so far this year.
