What happened in last years playoffs has nothing to do with this years team, free agency and the draft have already changed both rosters significantly enough. The Steelers lost that playoff game but they were also missing 4 starters on defense including Casey Hampton and Ryan Clark. I am in no way a Steelers fan either I am just telling it like it is.
The Ravens are an aging team with a number of question marks entering the 2012-2013 season. Ray Lewis is no longer the best defensive player in the league, he is lucky if he even cracks the top 100. His age has caught up with him and it has shown in his play. T Suggs is coming off an injury that many think will keep him out till at least November, Jarrett Johnson left in free agency, Matt Birk is no longer one of the top center's in the league due to age and diminished skill, Ed Reed's future is still up in the air. And then there is Joe Flacco who at times looks like a great QB and at other times look like one of the worst in the league you never know which Flacco is going to show up. The Ravens could see a significant drop off in play this year especially with the emergence of Andy Dalton and the Bengals, I would say an 80 is more than generous.
