As this seeason has unfolded I look back on last year and ask:

Were we, Raven fans, spoiled last year by the Ravens success? We had a rookie head coach and a rookie at QB, with that in mind did we sneak up on teams last year and that was the reason behind our run to the AFC championship game?

Personally I had the Ravens going 6-10 last year so after our 7th win I was in heaven.

Are we as good as we appeared to be last year or are we a player or two away from being a playoff contender year after year?

Just looking for some thoughts.
