The Ravens are a huge disappointment; I don't recall reading about any injuries they might have, so they are really this bad. The Falcons and Texans at least have good excuses for why their season went down the shutter.

The Ravens lost 8 starters from last year's Super Bowl winning team.  It is tough to reload when you lose that much talent.

That's in large part a self-inflicted wound though. Age cost them a few of those starters, but giving Flacco that obscene contract cost them most of their lost talent. I, for one, have no sympathy.
