Re: Ravens or Pats - Who's better this year? Obviously I'll go with the Pats. McNair is old, not as good and Boller is a whole different story.
Re: Ravens or Pats - Who's better this year? Pats, but the Ravens will be a lot better than last year though now that they have a decent QB
Re: Ravens or Pats - Who's better this year? Hmm... I think it's a tie. The Pats D is old and the Ravens improved a lot.
Re: Ravens or Pats - Who's better this year? Gotta go with the RavensOffense has opportunity to be top 15 and defense is always stellar with an improved pass rush too.McNair might be 33 but remember Brad Johnson is 38 and had a good year.
Re: Ravens or Pats - Who's better this year? Pats = Best team in the AFC EastRavens = 3rd Best Team in AFC North

Who do the Pats have to compete with? The Dolphins? The Ravens have the Bungles and steelers in front of them, and they'd have bad off-seasons. I'm going to have to go with my team, the Ravens.

Ravens: Play Bengals and Steelers twice a seasonPatriots: Play Jets and Bills twice a season. Who would you take on?

It's not an insult being behind those two since they're argueably 2 of the top 5 teams in football, but its just the truth. With both of them that good it is unlikely you will make the playoffs. The Patriots, meanwhile, can coast to a division title in the AFC East since no other team will likely even sniff 9-7.

Re: Ravens or Pats - Who's better this year? Sorry but im going with the Pats.Last year it didn't even matter if their defense was so shitty because Tom Brady still managed to put up good numbers to get them in the playoffs
