No it hasn’t been perfect but the Ravens are now 3 games away from the Super Bowl. The dream is alive–that is all we can ask for. Some thoughts of today’s great win.
Flacco was certainly not sharp today. He is still holding on to the ball much too long. #5 clearly missed a wide open Todd Heap, and did not have the presence of mind to stay behind the line of scrimmage before passing the ball late in the … Read More »
I’ll put that prediction in the memory slot. The Ravens are an early 4 point underdog.
Four Reasons Why the Ravens Win Today:
1) It’s inconceivable that the Ravens will sefl destruct again.
2) The Raiders can’t stop the run—The Ravens ran for 175 at Pittsburgh last week.
(3) Charlie Frye starts at QB for Oakland. Give me a break!!!
(4) Jared Gaither returns to the lineup today whicjh allows Michael Oher to return to the right tackle position, last week’s position of weakness.
There is a lot at stake for our young Coach on Sunday. Many believe the lack of discipline of the team falls on his shoulders. Is he running the asylum or are the players. A win and he is in and completes his 2nd consecutive year in the playoffs. If that is not good enough for most Ravens fans then they better wake up . He would be 22-13 in his tenure and that is pretty damn good. But lose … Read More »
In sports a warrior is defined by the player who goes all out all the time, someone who lays his body on the line every game. a player who takes risks that usually pay off but sometimes leaves him alone on an island, a guy who has so many injuries but won’t leave the field, a guy who nobody could blame if he retired today, a guy who is going to give it a go on Sunday because his team … Read More »
Watch the highlight films of Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh. Eliminate the stupid penalties and yes yje Ravens are capable of defeating anyone including Jimmy Irsay and the gutless* Indy Colts. Fans in Indianapolis are up in arms over the seeming forfeiture of the game to the Jets on Sunday. How can you lose your unbeaten streak with the MVP sitting on the bench. This will come back to haunt them. All the Ravens have to do is defeat the Raiders … Read More »
I have a video tape of the Colts Jets game from 1969–the Namath Guarantee Super Bowl. Well, when I watched the game again it was clear the then Baltimore Colts should have scored at least 5 touchdowns. Yesterday it felt like it was a replay of that game. Three touchdowns were eliminated –2 by penalties and 1 by a dropped ball of a lofted pass that most high school receivers could have handled. Up and down the field the Ravens … Read More »
This is an old bugaboo of mine. But today with the importance of this game, I believe we must get on top. Flacco needs the confidence and with the secondary so banged up Big Ben is going to score even with his patchwork receiver corps.
Some interesting issues:
Today we will see what kind of kicker Billy Cundiff is.
If #86 doesn’t play for Pitt, they have no chance.
Hoping for Chris Carr to score today on a punt return. … Read More »
Terrapintimes.com reported last night that mega-agent Drew Rosenhaus from Miami will represent Off tackle Bruce Campbell. Drew has a strong history especially with the Ravens and this seems to be a fine choice for Campbell. Drew is the agent for Jared Gaither and Willis McGahee of the Ravens—performing the herculean task of taking on Willis after his injury in Miami’s BCS loss to Ohio State and promising a disheartened McGahee that he would still be a 1st round pick.
