vmax Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Here's a shorter, more coherent..and...readable version. Kevin Byrne did the homework. All I know is I get my money's worth as a PSL holder. There’s No Place Like Home Consider these numbers:14.4 points per game53 interceptions65.7 QB rating285.6 yards1,001-534Now, reflect on this: The Ravens have won 15 games in a row at M&T Bank Stadium, the longest current home-winning streak in the NFL. Beyond this, we’ve won 23 of our last 24 in Baltimore. Incredible. (Hope it’s not bad luck to talk about these numbers.) How’d we do it? The numbers above are clear indicators. Since 2008, when John Harbaugh started as our head coach, we’ve allowed just 14.4 points per game at M&T. That’s the best in the NFL. Our defense has intercepted 53 passes, second to Green Bay’s 63. Opposing quarterbacks have been diminished to a league-low 65.7 QB rating, another NFL best. We’ve allowed the second-fewest yards at home, 285.6 per game. (OK, the Steelers are first at Heinz Field with 265.) Finally, most importantly, we have outscored teams at M&T by the huge difference of 1,001-534, an average victory margin of almost 15 points per game. Can we all start chanting “Seven Nation Army” right now? There’s More To The M&T Magic We’re averaging 36.8 points scored per game in home games this season, which, of course, is highest in the league. WE ARE DOMINANT AT HOME! Since the start of the 2010 season, we’re 20-1 at the Bank. Since Harbs came here in 2008, 32-5 – both top marks in the league. We’ve been on the road four of the last five weeks – and won three of those road games. We can’t wait to get home. Bring it on, “Wall of Purple.” We’re a good team, and we have been a good team, but the magic at M&T Bank Stadium has a lot to do with that and the noise you create. Here’s what Matt Birk told Greg Garber of ESPN when the giant sports empire picked M&T as the “Best Home Stadium Advantage in the NFL”: “No. 1, I’m going to say that over the years the Ravens have fielded a pretty good football team. No. 2, the fans here are great. It’s pretty simple. There’s your home-field advantage.” (Hard to hide that Harvard education, Matt.)http://www.baltimore...4a-f9c03e74c0d8 Edited December 1, 2012 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
