They put all their chips in and mortgaged the future. It blew up in their face. I don't see good days ahead for them.

The Sun is all split up on who will win. Just like many fans. Right now I'm seeing it like Schmuck..... "I see a Ravens win, 19-13 in a typically ugly, Ravens Steelers game.

It's very hard to catch lightning in a bottle, much more so to catch it twice... For Ravens fan,s let's enjoy the moment, what we have, because next year is not a given that things will go so well.

It's in your ER Posters Manuel. Page 587. One of thousands of exclusive poster benefits that Spen happily enjoys.

Besides knocking the Steelers out of the playoffs here's another thing to pull for; the Ravens need 93 rushing yards to set another all time record for most rushing yards by a team in a season. Some playoff facts.... Rain.........but it will be warm. So who's going to take this one Pete? Are they any contrarians out there???

It's a battle of "our back up QB is better than your back up QB!" Most of the team will be playing so they won't "rust." How many of you think that Lamar will get lackadaisical and sluggish getting ready for a playoff game? I'm not worried about him or Ingram. It's the overall speed and execution of all 3 units that must be maintained at their current level. When you add rest and healing to the equation, all 3 units 'could be' extremely hard to handle for any playoff opponent. It's hard enough now but with them being healthy? Look out.

For Ravens fans this has all the look and feel of a game 3 in the pre season or "our back ups against yours." I say "Send them forth! Unto...." Team Stats Points Per Game 18.6 33.5 Points Allowed Per Game 18.3 18.1 Total Yards 298.3 421.8 Yards Passing 207.9 216.9 Yards Rushing 90.4 204.9 Yards Allowed 325.9 325.5 Pass Yards Allowed 223.9 232.5 Rush Yards Allowed 102.0 93.0

I think Harbaugh should be #2 and the Coach of the Year this season. The one thing these coaches have in common is Quarterbacks. Very hard to win without franchise talent at that position.

Yes...they are resting....

Marshal nailed it.... If they can maintain this, then nothing can stop them. 4 games to go yet only 2 are guaranteed. Focus to make it 4.

Nice video. Ozzie has to be feeling one huge sense of fulfillment. I'm sure he and the team want more, yet this is one hell of an accomplishment. This has been a compete organizational achievement from the front office and staff, to the coaches and then the players. Remember this, because this is how teams win and become great. I don't think any of us will ever forget this season. It has been and is a fans dream.

We are definitely seeing some signs of wear and tear on the players. Andrews and Ingram especially. Maybe Smith and Peters. Lamar looked like his legs took a beating. Williams may need a break. It would be prudent to identify those who really need some time to heal and rest them. Everybody else plays. The one thing they can't rest right now is the intense desire to win that this team has generated. They must keep fueling that.

For the fantasy guys.... What other records did he set today? Oh...here's one.... Another one....

It all comes down to week 17 for the Steelers and Titans.... It's early yet I think the Ravens can defeat the Steelers with RG3 but the defense will need most of their starters to play. Tucker can finally get some work in. A 1 point win is just as good as a 14 point win.

They will need him if Ingram can't play.

The Ravens did their best to hand the game to the Browns in the 1st half. They opened up their bag of "finding ways to lose" and emptied it out. Then...in one minute...Bam!....Bam! 2 TD's. Then another TD on the opening drive of the 3rd quarter. The throw and catch to Andrews for the TD was spectacular. Even a big mouth like me was speechless....for a moment. Lesson? Never count the Ravens out or turn your back on them. This team is lethal.

The Browns game is out of the way and Brownie playoff hopes crushed. #1 seed clinched. Next up? the Steelers who mustered 10 points against the Yets. They will be greeted by the pleasant Ravens fans at the Bank. the false hope for the Steelers is that they can still make the playoffs if they defeat the Ravens. And the Ravens??? another fine chance to keep them home on the final game of the season. This will be a slobber knocker.

"....and they were sent forth into the weeping and gnashing of teeth...."

Cheers! The Ravens have a schedule like New England has this year. So...if the Ravens win out, including the Super Bowl....go 19-0 next year....they set more records!

Nothing like having some good clean fun this time of the year. I'll start the sharing in hopes that everyone joins in to spread the Holiday Cheer. Three garbage men were doing their Christmas rounds and collecting their well earned Xmas tips and gifts from the grateful householders when they arrived at a pleasant house at the end of a cul-de-sac. The first garbage collector went up to the door to be met by the lady of the house in very revealing attire, who said, "Oh yes, I know what you want!" as she dragged him upstairs to the bedroom to have her wicked way with him. A short while later he returned bedraggled to the garbage truck and told his colleague what had happened. His mate like the idea of some of that so he went to the house where once again the lady appeared, this time in even more revealing attire. "Oh yes, I know what you want!" she said as she dragged him upstairs to the bedroom to have her wicked way with him as well. Afterwards, he also returned bedraggled to the lorry and told the driver what had happened. "Hmmm, I'll have a bit of that!" thought the driver and walked up to the house. The lady opened the door and gave him $5. "Hey!" said the driver, "What about the fun and games you gave my colleagues?" "Oh that," said the woman "You can blame my husband for that." "What's he got to do with it?" asked the driver. The lady answered, "Well, he said to give $5 to the driver and **** the other two." Bill woke up with a killer hangover after attending his firm's Christmas Party. He didn't even remember how he got home. Confused he tried to gather his thoughts, "It's 8.30. What day is it? Thursday. The wife must have gone to work." As he struggled into consciousness through the fog of a pounding headache, his heart sank as he wondered what the hell he did last night. He forced himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a little vase of sweet peas, freshly picked from the garden. He sat up. The bedroom was clean and tidy; there was no trail of drunkenly abandoned clothes, fresh air was coming in through the window and all was serene. He stumbled to the bathroom, which was also pristine, and, squinting gingerly into the mirror, saw that he had a black eye. This was not a good sign, but no memories were returning. As he concentrated hard on getting the world into focus, he saw a post-it note stuck on the corner of the mirror. It was written in red, with little hearts on it and a kiss from his wife. "I'll ring your office and tell them you won't be in today. Breakfast is in the oven. Try to eat something and go back to bed for the morning. There's sport on TV this afternoon. Take it easy today, hope your eye doesn't hurt too much. See you tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Alison." Bill stumbled to the kitchen and sure enough, there was hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the newspaper. His teenage son was sitting at the table, eating. Bill, bracing himself for the worst, asked his son what happened the previous night. His son said, "Well, you came home after 3 in the morning, drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway. You got that black eye when you ran into the door." Bill was confused as he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order, aspirins by the bed, a nice note from Mom and breakfast waiting for me?" His son replied, "Oh, that! Well you see, Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your trousers off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone, I'm married!!'

Here's the opponents....

yea...2018...what I said....

The 2017 draft will go down as a historic draft for the Ravens. Hurst, Jackson, Andrews, Brown and Bozeman.

The painful truth. It will be very interesting to see how the Ravens perform, because the Browns have played the Ravens tough 2 out of the last 3 times....winning 2 of those games. It's very hard to figure how "in division" games will play out due to familiarity, pride and hatred. The Browns will show up. Note: Lamar is only 305 yards and 1 TD behind Chub. Insane. Team Stats Points Per Game 33.7 21.2 Points Allowed Per Game 18.4 23.5 Total Yards 417.6 367.6 Yards Passing 215.4 241.1 Yards Rushing 202.1 126.4 Yards Allowed 331.6 371.8 Pass Yards Allowed 235.4 236.6 Rush Yards Allowed 96.1 135.2

Another one.... How's this for being focused?....
