I suppose you could make the case that Ty Law is better than Chris McCalister, but you could also give the nod to McCalister. The Ravens front four is WAY more talented then the New England front four, and maybe just as good as the Carolina one.

you can make the case that individuals on the Ravens are better than those playing the same position on the Patriots or Panthers. however, football being the ultimate team game, its about how those individuals perform as a unit. the Patriots 14 game winning streak is testament to that. hell, its not like they have a wildly prolific offense a la the Chiefs this year or the Rams from a couple seasons back. they win with superb defense.
and just for comparison: the Ravens and the Patriots both played Tennesee in the playoffs. the Ravens allowed 20 points to the Titans, while the Pats gave up only 14.
still think Baltimore has the best D in the NFL?
