Five thoughts on the Ravens’ 2015 regular season schedule:
I’m going to admit this: Upon initially seeing what’s in store for the Ravens this year, my reaction was, simply, “Wow.” Why? I think it’s mostly because of the long and winding start. Talk about getting out of your comfort zone. The Ravens barely left the Eastern time zone in 2014, but this year, especially early, to paraphrase that Grateful Dead lyric, what a long, strange trip it’s going to be. The Ravens open the season in Denver, then go to Oakland. Three of their first four games and five of their first seven are on the road, with all but one trip to the Pacific or Mountain time zone.
