1. I pride myself in knowing way too many coaches in the NFL, and I had no fucking clue who the hell Joe Judge was.
2. Who the hell thought a position coach from one of the worst units in football would get a HC gig?
3. In what I find most comical, he was apparently the leading candidate to be the HC at Mississippi State. So somehow, this guy is so polarizing that he has a bottom-tier SEC team wanting him, as well as the New York Giants.

Simply amazing.

i just remember that we got matt judon in the 5th round of that same draft and tavon young in the 4th round and stop feeling so bad

Dude, we missed Michael fucking Thomas.

WE WERE THE ONLY STUPID AF PICK IN THE SECOND ROUND. It makes me so mad lol

So I just got the call that my buddy in BMore found us lower bowl AFCCG tix for $400 per. I lost my shit and then he called me 2 minutes later to ask if I had booked my flight because he screwed up and the tix were for this Saturday. Mother Trucker...…. The search continues......

Im having doubts about deanthony thomas.. i think he is gonna fuck up.

So just intercept the ball every time and we won't have to worry about him returning punts

I have a rule of thumb... never, EVER, buy tickets to important games. But that’s just me. I’m not exactly rolling in cash lol

NEVER:
Buy playoff tickets for games that aren’t yet scheduled

Get a tattoo that says “Super Bowl XX champions!” In September

Start a land war in Asia

You can buy on secondary market. If the game doesn't take place, they refund you (at least on most Secondary sites). Basically paying for a contingent event.

Stubhub has plenty of seats for sale for the AFCG. $355 + fees for the cheapest seat in the house (Upper deck end zone).

Midfield upper deck roughly $500 + fees, field level midfield will run you a grand +

To be completely honest, while the prices are high, I actually thought it would be more. Back around the last SB era (08-13 timeframe), when I had season tickets, I could sell tickets in upper midfield for like $250-300 a seat to any Steeler game or really any primetime home game against a decent opponent. The fact that I can get AFC title game tickets for roughly double or less than that is actually somewhat "reasonable" in my eyes.

Different of course is that two years ago those seats were barely worth face value, but I think everybody knows its going to get expensive to go nowadays with how this team is playing.

What IS outrageous, however, is the cost of parking passes.

$80 to park at the Horseshoe (and trying to avoid getting stabbed on your way back to your car)
$400 to park in Lots A or B
$200 to park in basically any other lot they have.

Any chance of getting cheaper tickets when they're officially on sale (meaning: when they're on sale through the Ravens and/or NFL website)? I'm just curious because I do wanna go, but I have a couple of friends who may not have the same budget as me.
