I could also see Jeff Fischer as AP Coach of the Year... he'd certainly get some votes...

I think Tony Sparano was robbed. Turning a 1-15 season to a 11-5 season is nothing to sniff at. I guess the AP has Atlanta Fever!

I guess he's a creep because he molested the league. Bad touch, John! Bad Touch!

I'm manning up on my staples: tons of cheap beer and chicken wings.

Will we see him again? I vote no.

Yeah, I could use some coin. Come to think of it... I could drive down to Tennessee for next week's game if we win. It's only a 4 hour drive and they've got my favorite bar of all time - the Beer Sellar.

Did you update your formula for Ryan's loss?

Ladue ain't St. Louis. Ladue is one of the wealthiest suburbs in St. Louis County. St. Louis city schools are in shambles. But I'm sure you knew that. (Is public school trash talk before a game a new low?)

Obviously you don't do good oppo research. I'm from St. Louis and I know about the quality of Baltimore schools... :lol:

Article Alright, guys. This should be all we need. Porter and Crowder (who?) just gave us all the bulletin board material we need. You know Ray Lewis and company are going to go to WAR for Cameron and the team. Thanks for waking the sleeping giant!

Just getting here is awesome enough for me. This team has met and far exceeded my expectations -- anything in the post-season is just gravy. I think we'll beat Miami. We haven't played down to our competition and have handled the teams that we need to with relative ease. Tennessee may be a different story, but I really like our chances this time around. And I'd love a shot at Pissburgh again. Especially when it really counts.

That was a genius idea... good call.

Do yourself a favor and head over to baltimoreravens.com and check out that playoff intro. It gave me some sports goosebumps!

Yeah, but have you been to Indy? Yeeeeeeeeesh.

I agree -- you're paying their salaries by attending games, merchandise and the sweetheart TV deals the NFL scores because of the fans. No need to charge unless it's for charity...

Give Flacco the 24th ranked SoS and Ryan the 4th hardest SoS and we'll see who's got better numbers. All things being equal, though, Ryan was going to win by virtue of hype factor. I have a feeling that Flacco just doesn't give a shit. He's just going to win.

I don't want any part of them. Hopefully they'll run into the Buzzsaw (Chargers)...

Word on the street in STL is that the Rams players really want to play of Haslett for a full season. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him around for 2 years as a transition coach before bringing in a "face of the franchise"-type coach once the team is decent. But if Rex came to STL, I'd meet him at the airport and personally show him around.

For reasons I cannot publicly state at this time, today is the greatest day EVER. You'll just have to trust me.

It's a hard pill to swallow because as fans, we really get attached to players. But Ozzie knows what's best, and of the three, I'd be willing to bet that Bart is the most expendable. We'll see him again, though - when he's wearing an orange helmet.

True, but the dude was running routes with one flap, and he crumpled like a sack of potatoes after big contact against Dallas. I'm sure he'll be pumped full of cortisone to minimize pain, but he's going to take some serious licks if he tries to cross the field. I'm not saying that he should only run sideline routes, but this - of all games - is the one for Clayton and Heap to step up to take the heat off of Mason.

Oh, and let's not also forget how different the season would be with some of our injured starters. Buddy Lee would have torn up the Steelers. He would have torn up the Titans... If we win two of those three games, we're sitting very, very pretty.

JIM FUCKING LEONHARD. He's doin' it all. I think he's the unsung hero of the 2008 Ravens.

For the record, I hope we jump out to a VERY early lead and only use Mason as a decoy until we can take him out of the game. I DO NOT want to see Mason hit and injured on the last game of the season before a (hopefully) deep playoff run.

Dude, just wait until you hear all the funny stories about Freel. He's got voices in his head. Farney is one of 'em... and the most pronounced. Freel plays balls-out and is a great utility guy. And he's crazier than a shithouse rat. What's not to love?
