"In English please?"

UPDATE: Do Not Read:: So, the Dolphins have games to play against the Patriots, Raiders and Bills. Anything can happen. They could run that table. But if there is a Sanity Claus, and we have inside information that there is, then they'll lose at least 1 of those games. Did not make this years "Must Watch Holiday Movie.

Dang! The Ravens only have 1 CB for Sunday. This is crazy. Basically we're back to Pop Warner football. "Hey you! Grab a helmet and get out there!"...

Flash back to when the Ravens played Cleo Lemmons and the winless Dolphins. Somebody call Harbaugh and warm him.

Madabuke will see more playing time, probably the whole game. He's on the rise.

Patriots have a 51.7% winning percentage over the Dolphins. Browns at 58.1% over the Giants. I know these winning percent numbers drive some people crazy: I have fun watching them flip back and forth during a game. Because it's football and anything can happen and does, they almost become an emotional indicator during a game. "At the half the Ravens are up by 14 over the Browns! 82.5% chance! Oh wait! Comeback! Browns up by 1 point...6 minutes left! Ravens 47.3%%....oh shit!....you get the drift. Somewhere in there my nerves went south.

On Sunday we'll find ourselves rooting for the Texans, Patriots, and the Giants. We got no help last week, so maybe this week our luck will change. Thursday night we're Chargers fans and on MNF "Go Bengals!" Another "Must Win" game for the Ravens...from here on out as everybody knows. Ravens win probability is 87.6% but I'm not taking anything for granted. Look at how close they made some of their recent losses: 3 out of their last 5 losses are by 2-4 points. 2 points to the Brownies. They took the Vikings to OT. Ok...ok...they're 1-12...but they did beat the Colts when they didn't know their lot in life any better. The stats are somewhat comforting: Team Stats Points Per Game 20.1 27.9 Points Allowed Per Game 29.5 21.0 Total Yards 352.7 355.7 Yards Passing 250.5 181.9 Yards Rushing 102.2 173.8 Yards Allowed 425.8 366.1 Pass Yards Allowed 280.2 252.5 Rush Yards Allowed 145.5 113.6 A little history.... The Jags are making all kinds of history. The wrong kind. Like 5 different kickers in the last 5 games. 6 for the season... The Jags will start Minshew in hopes to end their 12 game losing streak. .....Marrones vote of confidence: A scene we'd like to see... Jacksonville gives up the most yards per game and they are near the bottom in rush yards allowed and points allowed. (see above chart.) Perhaps Marrone will experience the same enjoyment Sunday: I guess he's not that bad of a guy. And Just Remember ER Posters: ........... Nostalgia Time! I will never forget this game......... The Significance? 9/10/2000. Second game of that memorable season after an opening day win against the Steelers. It was the first time the Ravens defeated the Jaguars. Brunell and Company had our number. Remember, they got their franchise before Baltimore did and Baltimore's bid was way better...Tagliaboo.........Blame him Cleveland for your loss. We tried playing by the rules. Anyway, it was great to have football back, yet until then, wins were scarce as was fan involvement. There was a new generation of fans and losing games for 4 straight years put them to sleep. Silent fans in general. Not like the Memorial Stadium days. Not like the fans that created The Worlds Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum. They were younger crowd. Don't get me wrong, they were good people, Baltimoreans, but football had been gone so long they didn't know to yell when the D was on the field.......they were being labeled "the wine and cheese crowd...and...well...it all changed 9/10/2000. Jimmy Smith and Brunell were killing the Ravens, yet on that day Tony Banks threw for 5 TD's, with none more important then this TD pass to Shannon Sharpe in the endzone with 1:04 remaining to take a 39-36 lead and win the game. Fan energy had been building all game and now.......Eruption! Pandemonium! They all jumped out of their seats. Hugging! High Five' in. The crowd went wild. They chanted and screamed "RAVENS"... down the exit ramps, across the parking lots. We danced and strutted on Russell street as a small group of local kids played "When the Saints Go Marching In." The high energy, enthusiasm and togetherness that was missing was back. And has never left. And now, I'm happy once again, because I'm with my kind of people...crazy people! ..

What has to happen is getting clearer....

Let's Do It!!!!

Update on the Race.....

We are with you! A little history....

oldno...how's your son?

Mike's thinking the same way.... tsyl said it best. Let's take this one game at a time now. The Ravens have not earned a playoff spot, so looking ahead and thinking they will roll over the "WEAK" competition is not wise. We just witnessed a depleted Ravens roster, with no practice, almost take down the undefeated Steelers. This is the NFL....anything...strange things, can and do happen. And this is one strange unpredictable season. Yet running that table is the goal. One game at a time. For me as a fan, I'm excited. The remaing schedule looks like "must wins." 5 of them in a row. Let's take them one at a time and hope momentum builds. Hope this team plays to their potential down the stretch. Once again the Ravens have meaningful games in December. ...all a fan can ask for. Next up: Mexico's Team.

A little hope from the opposition....

Good Morning! I'm giving myself today, probably not the whole day, to get over this loss (which most of us saw coming.) Then it's on to Thursday night Steelers game. After all, even though it's very disappointing, it's only a game, a temporary distraction, in a real world with real troubles and issues. Yes...a Ravens win would certainly pump up the energy and take the edge off these difficult times that we are living in, yet this season is not over. The outlook that I see is that by Sunday night the Ravens will be 6-5. "I see the Ravens running the table after that." Cowboys, Browns, Jaguars, Giants and Bengal.s It's "doable." There remains too much talent on this team to flop and cave in. Will 11-5 be enough? We'll see. oldno...your son and family are in my thoughts.

I'll pass on that until February, Until then I'm going to keep looking for something good...

Do you think 11-5 makes it? I think the Ravens beat the Steelers. Go ahead. You can call me a moron..........

The brutal truth....could be worse by Thursday night..... 2020 AFC North Standings TEAM W L T PCT PF PA Pittsburgh 10 0 0 1.000 298 174 Cleveland 7 3 0 .700 238 261 Baltimore 6 4 0 .600 268 195 Cincinnati 2 7 1 .250 213 270

One of my sons refuses to watch horse racing due to this. I know of others who won't watch it anymore. 34 is too way, way too many. I love horse racing but I don't want to have all these deaths.

We might as well listen to taps given our choices for President....

We'll be singing When we're winning We'll be singing I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times Oh, Danny boy, Danny boy, Danny boy I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times Don't cry for me Next door neighbor I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down We'll be singing When we're winning We'll be singing
