The Ravens Could Have An Amazing 2016 Season

There is one thing we know about the upcoming season of Baltimore Ravens football, the team will be hungry. Joe Flacco is coming off his first major injury, this should motivate him to make every moment count. Steve Smith Sr. and Terrell Suggs are facing the twilight of their careers; they want to finish on a strong note. John Harbaugh wants to prove that the Ravens run as one of the NFL’s perennial contenders isn’t over. The Ravens leadership collective has enough motivation for an entire team. At the very least, you have to think that the Ravens are going to be a focused group.

The 2015 Ravens saw everything that could go wrong, burn in a can of lighter fluid and explode like an emotional atom bomb. It was so bad that this metaphor does not seem hyperbolic or exaggerated. It is unfathomable that the Ravens could have that kind of luck again (but it wouldn’t hurt to knock on wood and cross your fingers Baltimore). With much of their bad breaks behind them, the Ravens look to dominate their competition. If Murphy and his law creep back into the lives of every Raven, at least they know how to deal with it now.

Here are 5 “what if” scenarios that should get Baltimore excited. The Ravens could be a team to be reckoned with. 2015 was the year things went wrong. Perhaps 2016, can be the year things went right.
