Deep dives
The Ravens struggle to hold on to leads despite their strong defense and running game
The Ravens have had difficulty maintaining leads despite their reputation as a top defensive and running team. They have had issues with turnovers and their fourth quarter scoring defense has been problematic, ranking 24th in the league. Their inconsistency in holding on to leads is perplexing given their strong defensive and running game.
The Bengals had a disappointing loss to the Texans despite Joe Burrow's return
The Bengals suffered a surprising loss to the Texans, a team they were expected to beat. Despite Joe Burrow's return from injury and showing signs of his previous excellence, the Bengals struggled to close out the game, which is concerning considering their recent inconsistent performances. The team needs to address their shortcomings, including their offensive line and inconsistent defense, in order to regain trust and become a more consistent contender.
The Bills' lack of consistency and unaddressed issues lead to a decline in trust
The Bills have been inconsistent in their performances, particularly in crucial moments. Their struggles can be attributed to a lack of consistency, highlighted by holes in their defense and skill positions on offense. Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a solution for the team's shortcomings, which creates doubt and declines trust in their ability to compete at a high level.
Earning trust requires consistency and understanding of weaknesses
Earning trust as a team involves consistently performing well and demonstrating an understanding of weaknesses. The Ravens have shown consistency over the past seasons, despite fourth quarter struggles, making them a more trustworthy contender. The Bengals, on the other hand, have had stretches of inconsistency, with performances that fluctuate based on Joe Burrow's health and offensive line struggles. The Bills fall short in consistency and have unaddressed issues that hinder their trustworthiness as a contender.
