How the Baltimore Ravens can get back to the Super Bowl:

Steve Biscotti addressed the entire Baltimore Ravens nation on Friday, and it’s safe to say there are a lot of unhappy Ravens fans. Baltimore’s fanbase is restless after most of the coaching staff stayed intact after the conclusion of the 2017 season. They have missed the playoffs three years in a row now, and that isn’t something the Ravens are used to. It is time for the organization to do something about it.

The Ravens are fortunate enough to have great ownership, a great front office, and a great leader as a head coach. Baltimore also has a very good roster, with a mix of seasoned veterans and young studs on defense, and a nice foundation on offense.

Hold on, nice foundation on offense? What are you talking about? It’s no secret the Ravens offense is not superb. For most of the year last year, they struggled and it wasn’t always easy to watch. However, they have a great offensive line, a proven winner as their franchise quarterback, and a nice stable of running backs. So, that is what I mean when I say nice foundation.

The key is going to be adding a few play-makers that can help the unit excel, which they can do in a variety of ways. But their defense has a chance to be great. They were pretty good this past year, but they could plug a few holes and hopefully the collapsing late problem fixes itself.

Let’s look at three steps that will get the Ravens playing in Atlanta next February:
