    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    That would be the weather if we were playing at 3 AM. It is odd the winds look to steadily pick up as the game goes on. More evidence that a fast start is needed by the Ravens.

    My body clock gets me up around 7 but on weekends I’m usually able to go back for another couple hours of sleep. Not today

    Divisional Round Tennessee Titans @ Baltimore Ravens

    I keep telling myself I shouldn’t be but I am nervous anyway. I comfort myself by knowing we’re a better team but I also know that doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome. Part of it is all the buildup over weeks of waiting and listening to so many pump up the Titans and how big a threat they...

    Over under is 47 which seems a little low. Consensus is we’re both going to run run run and grind clock. I have a feeling we’re going to put it in the air a bit more than people think. I sense a deep ball to Hollywood in the 1st play if he’s open and if not a throw to a TE over the middle for...

    Well, since we're expected (based on the odd makers) to win the Super Bowl ... I'll be pretty satisfied with meeting expectations. But I guess exceeding them will mean not only winning it, but kicking the shit out of people when we do it. So, yeah, I'll take that.

    Yeah - I didn't know whether he just decided to start liking us, but I do believe his wife is from the Baltimore area, so he has a finger on our pulse. Kay Adams too has been a big backer of our team this year. She is the first person I saw put us at #1 in power rankings. Within 2 weeks of her...

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    I have basically been saying this for weeks as people cringe to see virtually all the pundits pick us and to see Vegas giving us double digit point spreads. At least from the team perspective - gone are the days of getting motivated by a lack of respect. The time has come where the expectations...

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    Yeah I hear you but it’s seems like the things I said have some how escaped people over the last few weeks. Perhaps because these landmark accomplishments were finalized in a week where all the attention was drawn away from us and onto all the other teams that were fighting for position or for...

    Yeah not like we’re dismissing you guys as not being any sort of potential challenge. However realize were a fan base that has witnessed a 12 game win streak in which we’ve taken down 5 different playoff teams and absolutely destroyed many of the teams we faced. You have Henry and he’s...

    I think there is no more tired a take than the whole "rust" thing and whether Harbaugh has made some terrible mistake. Ingram and Andrews both were injured and couldn't play week 17 anyway. Lamar looked sick as a dog on the sidelines and missed the first half of the week practice with a...

    Andrews being on his game is critical and his still being questionable after 3 weeks rest is surprising. Apparently the injury want as minor as we lead on

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    This is just one of those, who the hell knows, deals. We'll find out along with the Titans. I think the concern would remain - even if it wasn't a set-back in last weeks practices - if he goes full speed on a football field on Saturday, how great is the risk of there being a set back? If the...

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    Perhaps I 'm more focused on how the weather could impact our game than I should, but I'm still of the mind that we've got a much more dynamic offense than the Titans and that we want conditions to be favorable for us to hit them with everything we've got. Here's the latest update: This has...

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    Yeah ... I said earlier in this thread that I just can't bring myself to watch any more of this stuff cause it is making me crazy and I just want the damn game to get underway (yet, here I am, watching stuff like this anyway lol) I mean really - the essence of what he is saying is not incorrect...

    Lamar Jackson

    They can make the call as "unnecessary roughness" without any rule change if they feel like the defender knows the QB no longer has the ball and still hits him. Otherwise, how is this different than whacking a QB after he hands the ball off in a normal fashion? I mean, it could be play-action...

    Lamar Jackson

    Right ... the idea is to hurt our QB. Oh, they said that's not what they are trying to do ... but please, that's the goal. You could tell he wasn't concerned about whether or not the defender knew he didn't have the ball - it was the defender's right to hit him. Sure - give up yards to the...

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    I'm telling you, I can't take much more of the anticipation. I pretty much can't listen anymore (despite our being heavy favorites) about how Henry is the biggest beast since Beastmode in his prime, how much trouble the Titans are going to give us, about whether Ingram will play, about whether...

    Lamar Jackson

    Question becomes - how long after he's let go of the ball are the refs going to let you hammer the QB? The concern is defenders just start hammering him without worrying about how clear it is that he's already let go of the ball and should not be considered a runner. If the league just decides...
