Now that the Ravens have lost four straight games to stumble into what Dennis Pitta so aptly called “a dark place,” the question is whether there’s any way for them to maneuver out of the darkness back into the light.
If the tenor of the chatter on social media is any indication, it appears much of the public doesn’t think so after Sunday’s discouraging loss to the New York Jets. There are so many available seats on the Ravens’ bandwagon that you can pretty much sit wherever you want.
Naturally, the players and coaches take a more measured view, believing not that the season is lost, but that their team simply isn’t playing up to its potential – a stance that implies a possibility for better days, hard as those are to imagine right now.
