On the other hand, you have a team that played very poorly for most of this season. Maybe they are way worse (older, less talented, lacking identity) than the 2005 team. The key is to find out whether or not the defense had an abberation this year (such as the 2005 Ravens did). If they did, maybe it can return to form this year. If not and there are really deep issues, time to start the rebuilding process before its too late.
The 2005 Ravens were missing Ed Reed, Ray Lewis and one more starter. And they were still a top 10 defense. The probelm was the offense kept putting them back out on the field. 05 Ravens defense did not have people running for 200 yards. There is no comparison between the two. Look at the Bears this year. They lost Tommie Harris and Mike Brown and still made the SB. Is Shawn Springs that frickin good? No way. We need help on the line, LB's and secondary. Looks like a major overhaul to me. I think that's the reality.
