The media, 'experts', Vegas, NFL fans....all think this Ravens team will fold against a 'fresh' Stealer squad.
We've read the reasons as to why this is the end to the Ravens run....17 straight games, mounting injury and depth concerns, 2 losses to the Stealers this year and a 3rd for certain comming up, away game at Heintz Field...yada, yada, yada.
I think this 2008 Ravens team will play with the "What's Our Name?" passion and intensity for the full 60 minutes tomorrow night.
The "Ray Lewis Factor" will manifest in this team and onto the field. His spirit, passion, intensity and fearlessness is what this team has taken on...to a man.
From all reports I can gather, this team has gone about their business like they have for every game this year. They are loose, not uptight, and having fun.
They are not intimidated by the Stealers.
They are confident and believe in themselves.
Yea...they can pull off the upset...but it won't be an upset to them.
I love Kevin Byrnes answer to the Ravens being too "spent" and out of gas for this game...
