vmax Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 It's been a hard season to go through for Ravens fans, the players and organization. All the off field stuff really shocked me and put a damper on it. This team and organisation has been under such a huge microscope that it was hard to just get into football without 1 issue after another diverting your attention. Getting to the playoffs was a real struggle...and relief.Eisenberg sums it up. Basically, making the playoffs turns the 2014 season into a success story. It doesn’t change what happened off the field or minimize the scandal’s important repercussions, but it does argue pretty convincingly against the idea that the Ravens are stuck under a dark cloud.In the end, they’re a football team, judged by whether they win or lose. And even if they lose in Pittsburgh Saturday night, they can say they were good enough, tough enough and resilient enough to give themselves a shot in a year when they dealt with a staggering distraction, endured a withering rash of injuries and continued a rebuild-on-the-run project that began pretty much the moment they hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the Superdome 23 months ago.A bare fragment of that championship team remains, just seven of 22 starters, making it all the more impressive to those in the industry that the Ravens continue to chalk up playoff berths.Yes, they want to do more than just make it. And they’re not about to doubt their prospects even though they’ll be underdogs.“I’m not going to be surprised if, three weeks from now, we’re sitting here and still playing,” Flacco said Sunday. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-Making-Playoffs-More-Joyful-Than-Usual-For-Ravens/a408c06f-d2dd-4baf-bd4c-4548a1747803
cravnravn Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 My buddy Capt D. It has been a heck of a run, to win 10 games with the way this season unfolded is quite an accomplishment, speaks volumes of the front office and the team. Ravens making the playoffs puts the negativity surrounding the team on the back burner.
