For the third straight week, the Ravens opponent went with a no-huddle offense. And for the second straight week, the Ravens defense collapsed in the 4th quarter.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't feel Billick had the Ravens ready for the start of the season. I thought training camp was too soft. With teams running no-huddle on a consistent basis, the Ravens' defense is tiring badly in the 4th quarter. How badly? Look at these stats through 3 games:
Points allowed in Quarters 1-3: 21 (the offense gave up another 7)
Points allowed in 4th: 35
The Ravens are not a Super Bowl contender right now. They're not even the team to beat in their division right now. Pittsburgh is making an argument to be included in the same breath with Indy and New England.
My prediction for next week: Cleveland 23 Baltimore 14

Preston said in the paper today the Ravens didnt prepare at all for the no-huddle this week. Being unprepared is going to catch up to them very soon!
