What Baltimore Ravens fans are saying about the Carolina Panthers

This week I visited the Ravens message board to get a feel for how their fans feel about the game. 

 

Ravens fans are giddy about Cam being on the injured list. Apparently no one has told them it is normal for him to sit out Wednesdays from here on out as the season nears mid point. 

Quote

I'm hoping it's too painful to throw the ball straight.....

Prepare for disappointment.

Analysis:

Panthers' strengths are defensive front 7, and QB running game along with christian McCaffery catching passes. Their weaknesses are passing offense, and passing defense.

I think we match up well with Carolina. We pass well enough and can't run the ball worth jack s&%t. Our defense is still phenomenal despite what anyone else thinks. The D actually did exceptional against the Saints given the circumstances.
Defense travels. I think the Panthers are a good team but can definitely be had. 

Ravens 31
Panthers 17

I mean, this is a pretty decent take. I don't agree with the Ravens putting up 31 though. Panthers D looked much improved in Philly. 

 

Quote

Panthers 20-17...Christian McCaffrey and Greg Olsen will have a field day against these linebackers...other than Kenny Young. You know Norv Turner is salivating looking at the middle of the field with post patterns off play action..

I like the way this guy thinks. No argument here. 

 

Quote

I think that Carolina's front seven is going to cause problems for this offensive line. They will try to run the ball, but it will not work. They will try to throw deep, but won't have the time. In the second half, Harbaugh will once again lean on his defense. At which point, Cam's legs will make the difference in the game. 

Ravens 17
Panthers 20.

 

Sounds familiar, don't it? I think this is a very likely scenario. 

 

Overall the Ravens fans are pretty split as to who wins the game with no silly or outlandish predictions. Would much rather have them in our division than the numskulls down 85 south.

I think the Ravens match up very well with us, and I'm extremely nervous about it.  Like any other game though, it all depends on which Cam Newton shows up.  Much of that has to do with how much the coaching staff is willing to open up the passing attack.

I do think we are going to have some good success running the ball.  Just a gut feeling.

I feel we are a terrible match up for the Ravens who rely on their defense to bail them out and they need the other teams defense to be soft. Eagles were a better team with better coaches and Norv didn't have a problem moving the ball. The only factor I see is the Refs screwing us out of points and ints.

with weak linebackers CMC may have a career day catching passes on shallow crosses / checkdowns.

Ideally, this is our game plan. 15 receptions are not out of the question.

I feel like the Ravens have always shared our identity of strong defense, clock control offense, and mistake free football. Their RB by committee approach hasn't worked out so well, so they are having to rely on some field stretching plays. We'll need to contain their WRs and get pressure on Flacco in order for it not to be a higher scoring game.

I think ultimately it comes down to them not being able to stop our 6-14 yard game, while we stop them enough to come out on top.

Panthers 31 - Ravens 24

I'm nervous about this game because the Ravens have the best defense of all the opponents the Panthers have faced so far. Glad this is a home game, should even things out. Made a promise to the football gods if the Panthers won the game against the Eagles that I wouldn't be negative until they had a losing record again. I have a feeling this is a higher scoring game than most think, both teams have given up big points despite a reputation for having a stingy defense.

I have a Ravens fan living next door to me, dude is the biggest a-hole walking the planet. I hope we demolish Baltimore Sunday.

Ron will have to exit his conservative comfort zone and allow Cam to run some no huddle. It’s not only good for Cam but it also keeps Baltimore from changing personnel

The way they held the Aints down and they couldn't score a lot of points. If they can do that to that Aints with their D we are in for a tough game.

You have it easy. My son is a Pats fan as well as our neighbor across the street and my daughter is Failcons fan. I see other Panther fans from time to time but there a lot Failcons fans along with Cowpies and Steelers and I live in Ga. Worst of it all I am surrounded by Failcons lol.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
