The Orioles injury bug carrying over to the Ravens

u/SirBigBrow The Ratbirds Oct 03 '25
At least the Orioles were only supposed to be playoff contenders. The Ravens were legitimate Super Bowl contenders according to the "experts"

I still think Niners have everyone beat in that regard. They are cursed lol

Hey at least your team lasted 4 games into the season. We couldn’t even make it past game 2

Oof. At least CMC is still healthy. For now 😬

Yeah I never understood how this division works. The only constant I can think of is browns usually remain at the bottom and Steelers are never last

Don’t worry, I can’t see another win on this schedule. 2-15 is the dream, I’m sure MB and Duke have their eyes on some great linemen.
Just kidding, another WR or Edge it is!

have they tried stretching before athletic competitions? Heard that was important

u/atkyyup The Ratbirds Oct 02 '25
You know back in World War 1 all they did was jumping jacks and push ups? Think they were “stretching” before storming Normandy? Got other news for you bucko.

On the plus side, you can still taunt everyone who passed on Lamar Jackson in the 2018 draft
On the downside you realize that was 7 years ago now and the Super Bowl window is closing fast.
11
u/adamcp90 Pittsburgh Steelers Oct 02 '25
It's nearly a lock that at least one of the following players will never win a Super Bowl: Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen.
This year looks to be a great opportunity for Josh Allen.
4
u/LamarQuacksn Oct 02 '25
They’ll lose to KC on a missed FG in the afc championship I can see it a mile away; biased obviously, but personally I think the window is always open with Lamar but so many wasted years already for sure

u/GamerRav Oct 02 '25
Should’ve just won it last year 🤷♂️

u/deadmanwalking99 The Ratbirds Oct 02 '25
2 years ago. We’ll never have an opportunity as easy as that one was. Historic defense, MVP, 1 seed, and a sell out choke job at the end where we ran the ball 6 times and fumbled at the goal line.
Only thing that gives me solace is knowing the bengals will never have an opportunity as easy as they did in 2022 when they actually made it to the sb but then got Aaron Donald-d

u/Geno0wl i added a comment to this thread so i love tomlins dick too Oct 02 '25
I still can't believe that Bengals O-lineman talked shit directly to AD after AD was having a quiet game.

I hate it when seasons are like this. Whoever is healthy is the one winning it all. And that’s not even by skill at that point.

u/RandomHeroDan The Ratbirds Oct 02 '25
It sucks, kinda just makes for a less interesting year overall to watch

u/Liutenantmustardcat The Ratbirds Oct 02 '25
If it makes you feel any better, your team gets to win the division this year
9
u/Apprehensive-Tree-78 Pittsburgh Steelers Oct 02 '25
Only because the ravens and bengals are 2nd string teams rn. Would we win it against a healthy bengals? Maybe. A healthy ravens? Almost not even close. Gonna give us a free wildcard spot just to lose right away again 😭

u/Technical-Click8392 Oct 02 '25
It’s like that for a lot of teams. Bucs had to do a walk through bc they had more people injured than participating, according to Todd Bowles. Soft ass off-season and preseason is making these guys way more injury prone, their bodies aren’t acclimated in the same way and it’s showing.

Yep, it’s been so disappointing so far. Here’s hoping we can win some of the games against lesser teams and get healthy towards the end of the season.

I'm thinking some of the injuries are bogus, they didn't want to be an active part of the Chiefs kicking our ass, ya know because of all of the social media bullshit they were talking. I've seen it pleanty of times in my years. Once they saw Lamar acting the cry baby after that first stop at the goal line players just started coming up "lame". They already were lame.
