I had her trained to boo whenever the word “Ravens” was mentioned. I hate them too. I can’t stand Ray Lewis. Brian Billick is the one person I hate the most in football…or now OUT OF FOOTBALL. When he stood in the locker room and said “F___ the Titans”. I can’t stand him. My hatred for them is why I cannot stand Samari Rolle or Derek Mason for choosing to play for them. It has also severely strained my admiration for Steve McNair…I know he was traded, but he wanted to go there. How can anyone who went through those times at the beginning of the decade change sides is beyond me. Did I mention that I don’t like the Ravens?

My GF thinks their uniforms are pretty as she reads magazines while we all scream on Sundays.

UHGGGGGGGGGG

And it’s funny because we could care less about their fans, as they as a franchise have been around less years than the Titans. It’s really the players and Billick.

I was at that stupid monday night game when they called the “illegal touching” penalty on the Ravens that negated a game winning TD. I still can’t understand how the defense could draw a penalty that would negate an offensive TD, but hey, it’s the stupid Ravens, nothing surprises me.

I think this game won’t be anything like in years past because the Titans are clearly the superior team, both offensively and defensively. And barely any of the players have the Ravens in their heads in terms of years past.

I will enjoy watching a beatdown of these punks.

I hatessesssess them I do. Hatesessses them.

Argh.

Their fans are the absolute worst fans that come to Nashville.

They all get off of buses wearing their ugly purple and black urban camo Zubaz pants and those ugly purple jerseys, drinking Black Label out of the can and every other word out of their mouth is a f-bomb.

Worst fans ever.

Ravens fans are committed, loyal and boisterous, just like every other team (except the Browns-yuk!). Both Tennessee and Baltimore have a lot in common, having relocated to new cities, changing team names and being resented by the old home towns. Besides, we’ve had some classic battles and this weekend figures to be a bloodbath, with points hard to come by. I’m guessing the over/under will be around nine! Just hope everyone comes out healthy (and Ravens win!).

…and it could not be more appropriate. Some of the most memorable Raven’s games were against the Titans, and this match-up should not disappoint.

I have great respect for the Titan’s organization, and as much as I love the Ravens, I can honestly see why they would be extremely frustrating to play against. A team with a crappy offense should be easy to beat, right? No, the Ravens take your mistakes and make you pay dearly for them. It’s a frustrating way to lose.

I think that the Titans are the easy-favorites to with this game on paper. That being said, I also think that the stage is set perfectly for an upset. The Raven’s defense versus the Titan’s offense will be a stale-mate. The Raven’s defense will probably stop the Titan’s offense, and the Titan’s offense will probably score some points. This game will be decided while the Ravens have the ball.

The Titan’s main strength is their defensive-lineman. Many people don’t realize that the Ravens have the youngest offensive line in the league. Now on paper, this looks like a huge mismatch, but hear me out. The Raven’s offensive-lineman may make mental mistakes, but they are one of the most athletic and powerful lines in the NFL. Sure, they may miss a blitzing linebacker at times, but if they man-up on the defensive-lineman in front of them, they will win those battles.

This is the reason why I believe the Ravens may be the hardest opponent the Titans will face. There are only a few stunts that teams can pull with a defensive-line, and the Titans don’t believe in out-thinking their opponents. With their front-four, the Titans simply over-power most offensive-lines, and I think that this may be a little harder against the Baltimore Ravens.
