This was close to perfect for me. It was very enjoyable Ravens football. Other than the few penalties where the Ravens shot themselves in the foot, they played well. The Ravens took away the run. The SaINTS SPREAD THEM OUT WITH THEIR BIG NAME/BIG PLAY RECEIVERS AND OUR NO NAME GUYS COVERED THEM. Sorry caps key.... The offense sustained drives, converted 3rd downs so the D wasn't gassed. The Ravens were never behind. They ran the football and stuck with it....5.3 ypc. That's the big story. joe had a good day...8.6 ypc...112.9 QB rating...that TD pass to Rice was perfect and the catch fantastic.

It was Christmas and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner,"What are you charged with?" "Doing my Christmas shopping early", replied the defendant. "That's no offense", said the judge. "How early were you doing this shopping?" "Before the store opened." .................................. Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents the week before Christmas. At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs. "I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE... I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO... I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR..." His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf." To which the little brother replied, "No, but Grandma is!" ............................ Just before Christmas, an honest politician, a generous lawyer and Santa Claus were riding in the elevator of a very posh hotel. Just before the doors opened they all noticed a $20 bill lying on the floor. Which one picked it up? Santa of course, because the other two don't exist! ................................. Here's a list of groaners... What does Father Christmas suffer from if he gets stuck in a chimney ? Santa Claustrophobia ! Q: What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? A: Frostbite. Q: Why was Santa's little helper depressed? A: Because he had low elf esteem. Q: Why does Santa have 3 gardens? A: So he can ho-ho-ho.

Be carefull Dee... "Hey everybody!...Dee's gone...Parental Controls are off...she'll never know."

They should have got Nick Saben like my other rooting interest Alabama did. Penn St is #3 on my list. Whoever they get to be the HC is walking in with part of the problem solved...he's got a good QB and receiver.

I'm pumped even though I don't like the Ravens chances...but...anything can happen and if the 12th man can help, then there's work to do! It's dark out but I'll be leaving in 4 hours. Got xtra thermals yesterday and I just broke out the ski pants. Last game I was cold in the 4th quarter. I may not be able to walk right and it may take 20 minutes to pee but I'll be warm. As far as bringing it and being crazy...last I checked there was something not right about me.

This is very cool. Stat-wise Joe is a solid #8 and you can win with that. Better still he has far less INT's than everybody else. That's winning football. The Ravens are set at QB.

Look where it got that team...and the Jets....and their HC's. For every Favre and TO there are 50 other guys who are not bigger. I can't name a guy on the Pats defense but that team wins. It's a team sport and those who crav attention that they are bigger than than their fellow players, wreck the team chemistry....hence the losing. When the rules don't apply to one guy but they do to the other players you've got problems.

Did you put something in my coffee crav? I'm on my second cup thinking, "Hey! This is Baltimore. We stopped the British!"

75% of the fans that call in the talk shows are dumbbies. If they want "knoWledge of things they are not wanting you to know" they would be on here. Some still call in asking why Palaamaalluuu wasn't blocked after those guys spent days talking about it. When a sub moron like Q can get on every day that tells you they scrape the bottom of the barrell getting callers.

I must be drinking Purple Jo because I woke up this morning liking the Ravens chances too after I've been thinking they will get blown out. They did take Atlanta to the wire in Atlanta and they are scoring more points than the Saints. I'm such a homer...my head tells me no way and my heart says this team will show up ready to rumble.

Hey! Here's one more Peter...

Peter Schmuck's on the bandwagon too...

Ball control will be huge too because the D will be running their ass off.

There is something wrong with the execution of the Ravens offense. The defense has weaknesses and this is hard to accepet for Ravens fans after 10 years of knowing how defense is played here. This team has not become better over the course of the season like they did last year. Ravens fans are not dumb...they know what they see and they know football. Against the playoff caliber teams you can't get away with 2 quarters of offense and then go to sleep at the wheel. Well you can, but you can't win. They know this.

Last year, as soon as Tomlin said his team would 'Unleash Hell', they went into a nose dive for the rest of the year. Could happen this year too.

Sam Gash went year after year and he rarely carried the ball or caught a pass. Name recognition is a big part of it too. Why they don't run him more is a mystery. It takes at least 3 guys to bring him down. Sit Willis and Ray in the 4th quarter and pound McLain...he'll wear the D out quick. For that matter, rush him in the 1st and 2nd quarter to soften them up....get the safeties to groan when they see him comming.

I didn't say Batmasn and his Bitch shouldn't have a show. I'm refering to a player blasting an owner and the coaching staff and his teammates publicly. He should grow some balls and say it privately to their face. You keep this stuff 'in house'. Also..what he said is true....but that does not make it right to go public. When business is not going right, wqhen you are failing to achieve your goals then work hard and smart to correct it. I'd love to see how long I'd have my job if I went on TV and said what he said about my company. So...the rats are running the ship. Show me a team that let's this happen and I'll show you a losing record. Lewis won't pull him in and warm him to keep his comments about the organization 'in house'...Lewis has lost control. That's what I was trying to say. I also disagree that the players are bigger than the game...not in the NFL.

McNabbs having a bad year. That said...DC is the Bermuda Triangle of the NFL.

Cleetz says the Ravens have a good shot to win and I say "No shot"....but I'd like to be surprised... That was a cold 4th quarter va...in more ways than one.

LOL! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/paul_daugherty/12/15/bengals.popcorn/index.html

Here's another nail in Marvins coffin...

I trust you cleetz! It will be great to be surprised. I'll be giving 110% win or lose. The Sunday night game showed me my flaws in cold weather gear. I'll be ready. Maybe after seeing their flaws the Ravens will be too.

So...get by the Pats and it's Super Bowl Baby!!!!!!!

The Saints win the matchups on offense and defense. Ravens win special teams. The Saints can't run but they don't need to after watching the Texans march up and down the field. I just think it's too lopsided of a match up for this Ravens team to overcome given the productivity we have seen. Now...I do not see the Ravens getting better but that doesn't mean they are not a good team that can do damage. Like I said, "There's no quit in this dog." They will make the playoffs and can handle the Chiefs or Jags...if those two make it. The Chargers could win out and the Colts are still alive. ...and I'm loving this organization for keeping their team in the hunt year after year. Funny...I'm in that mode when you have a losing season. I evaluate the players as to 'who to keep and who to let go'. Coaches too. I'm looking for that solid core to build around. It's there. This team does have a spine.
