00:00The Ravens, Joe, and here's the thing,

00:02as they lose to the Kansas City Chiefs 37-20,

00:05there will be some who feel like this is a Kansas City story.

00:09I disagree, and I think I can prove it.

00:11The Chiefs scored 37.

00:13Congrats, that's the third most points

00:15the Ravens have given up this year.

00:17So, they give 38 to Detroit, 41 to Buffalo.

00:22Like, Kansas City getting to 37,

00:24yeah, that's like par for the course

00:26against a Ravens defense, yes, injured,

00:30the injuries aren't getting any better,

00:32and has just now been atrocious,

00:35pretty easily, arguably, the worst in football a month in.

00:39Oh, I mean, Baltimore, their identity

00:42was made on the defensive side of the ball.

00:44When Mike McDonald was there.

00:45Absolutely.

00:46Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, and Ed Reed

00:48aren't walking out there for the Baltimore Ravens,

00:50and at the end of the day,

00:51they're not going to make a playoff push

00:53until they fix the defensive side of the ball.

00:56They can outscore teams all they want,

00:57but they can't stop the run,

00:59and they got exposed from an offensive perspective yesterday.

01:03That offensive line couldn't contain the pass rush

01:05of Chris Jones at Kansas City,

01:07and that's all a problem right now,

01:09and I think when you look at Lamar

01:11and you look at this team

01:12from a mentality, psychological perspective,

01:16they're shocked.

01:17They have the standing A count right now.

01:19So, where is this team going to go moving forward?

01:22They're still potentially, Kevin,

01:24the best team in the AFC North,

01:25but now, big picture,

01:27they're nowhere near the best team in the AFC.

01:30Well, again, and them being the best team

01:33in the AFC North,

01:35the Browns entered the season

01:36having no chance at being that.

01:38The offense is atrocious.

01:41Pittsburgh is 3-1,

01:43but no one feels great about it.

01:45I mean, the record is good,

01:47but they don't feel like they're playing great,

01:48and Cincinnati without Burrow

01:51is a very, very difficult evaluation,

01:53but for the Ravens, Joe,

01:56it's not about being the best team in the North.

01:57It's not even about being the best team in the AFC.

01:59They're supposed to be the best team in football.

02:01Right.

02:01The Baltimore Ravens started this year

02:03booked as a favorite in Buffalo,

02:07the new Super Bowl favorites.

02:09They entered this game against Kansas City

02:12on the road as a favorite.

02:14So, there is no...

02:15Oh, come on, guys.

02:16It's a tough schedule, Bill.

02:17No, not at all.

02:19The Ravens are favored in all of these games, right?

02:21And it is a team who has, I think, a lot of issues,

02:26but when you're 1-2, even, 0-2,

02:29guys, we got time.

02:31We got time.

02:33I don't think there's going to be a moment

02:35we feel good about the Ravens this year.

02:37They are a carbon copy of what Cincinnati was last year, right?

02:41Playing from behind,

02:42that desperation week to week to week.

02:45They're one injury away from just collapsing, unfortunately,

02:49and I don't wish that on the team,

02:51but let's call it what it is.

02:52I mean, if you're going to buy in right now

02:54in week number five and moving forward on the Ravens,

02:57tread lightly.

02:58That's why you're getting certain value right now,

03:00and I think that's the problem when we look at this team.

03:03We knew they could score points,

03:04but nobody thought the defense would fall off a cliff.

03:07they could score.
