Tank is full speed ahead!

And someone said, “yeah, but he’s in our playoffs now”

Damnit.

I'm not sold that either of those teams are locks for the playoffs in 2026.

Rumor is the raiders literally told maxx they want to tank for the first pick

Probably turned maxx off permanently and it was over after that.

Broncos definitely are. They would of been in the super bowl if Nix played against the Pats.

Ravens not so much. I think they are so overrated. Lamar will never win anything and Henry is 1 year older. They dont have enough pieces around them and I think getting rid of Harbaugh instead of Lamar will prove to be the wrong move.

Yeah, I'm just really hoping the Donks will suck, but they probably will be in, dammit

The Ravens made the decision to let Harbaugh go, it wasn't his? That is dumb.

A 4th round pick who is a top defensive player for 7 years at a high value position and then gets two first rounders back at the end of his Raider tenure? Was there ever a better value? Gruden and Mayock f[raiders_icon]cked a lot up, but definitely nailed that pick. Insert infinite monkey theorem here.

Never thought about it but yeah, crazy good value on the Crosby pick.

They also had that 4 defensive starters draft, all after the first I think. Man, if they could have done better than a drunken half wit with a severe concussion with their multitude of first round picks.

It depends if he resigns and finishes his career with us, in about 4 years we definitely should be competing for. a SB!

Even if this isn't the best of the Ravens, the division doesn't have a standout. I could easily see them winning it.
Now SB bound, they would have to be healthy and peeking, but that is possible.
Like some have said, Joe Burrow is dead, lol.

Takes some pressure off players falling to our 2nd round pick.

As for Maxx thank you.

Maxx has no more guaranteed money after this season so he'll be asking for another max contract.
At 30 I question if he'll live up to it.

Steve Young, Russell Wilson, and Jalen Hurts.

Good luck Maxx, but I don’t see you winning a Super Bowl in Balt either.

So then they won more than their fair share of SBs.

The Ravens are very top heavy. Guys like Jackson, Henry, Stanley, Crosby now, Queen, Hamilton, Humphreys. If they have any injuries there's not a lot of depth. Their offensive line needs work and Linderbaum is at serious risk to walk, creating another big hole. That team has had their fair share of injuries over the years. I don't see them making out the season unscaithed. They're going to have to do cap gymnastics to get under the cap. Lamar is going to get a new contract with more money, yet somehow it saves them cap space.. the NFL cap is a f[raiders_icon]cking mess. They need to put a limit on restructures. It's out of hand

Getting shipped to Baltimore is kind of funny, what a hellhole.

I'm sure that someone will bump this thread every so often...as if you don't already have enough to do around here.

Isn’t Baltimore’s hellhole reputation dated, kind of like Pittsburgh’s? Besides the rich people always live in luxury.

The first week we lose while Crosby gets a sack someone will pop in here and talk about how dumb Spytek is

Over under on which week that is would be pretty low, like 1.5?
