Lol. Listening to local sports radio today they brought up a great point that is the last time the ravens and the pats faced off in the postseason, out of the top 10 ravens tacklers in that game, they (the ravens) now only have 2 of those players left (suggs and ngata) on their 2014-15 roster. This ravens d is totally different so you really can't compare and that img. you posted should not make you feel any better. Good luck ravens!
to be fair, we replenished our D with a lot of good young blood
e.g., McPhee, Dumervil, Mosley
Dumervil now leads the team in sacks and Mosley is a favorite for DROY.
Then, again our secondary is missing Hall of Famer Reed and Patriot killer Pollard and will have to contend with a healthy Gronk.
Also, when Pollard knocked your running back out last AFC Champ game, that pretty much sealed it for us. Things will be different this time with your two healthy running backs.
All that being said, I believe this game will come down to the effectiveness of our pass rush.
