Congrats from a Ravens fan

I am a miserable Ravens fan. I was there, screaming my head off, watching what I thought was going to be a Ravens tough earned victory over a previously undefeated Titans team. However, for the second game in a row, the Ravens snatched defeat from the jawes of victory. This no longer is an aberration on either side. My Ravens are pretenders, as they cannot win the close games agains the better teams. On the flip side, your titans are difinitely contenders and on their way to a AFC South title. You guys did what you needed to against a brutal defense. The refs were horrible on both of us, as this is one fan who will never blame the refs for a loss, no matter how bad they were.

The Ravens coaches mismanaged the game clock, played not to lose when they could have possibly put the game away, and let the Titans get the critical first downs time and time again on those two fourth quarter scoring drives.

Until we learn to keep our cool after the play is called dead, then we will continue to be targeted by opponents and referees. And until we can win a close game against a contending team, we will be relegated to the middle shelf and a decent draft pick.

Good luck and feel free to visit my take on the game and post over at Baltimore Beatdown.

Thanks!

I was very impressed by the your offensive line...

combine that with a great defense (as always) and a very good looking rookie QB, and the future is very bright for you guys.

Plus, you guys were good enough to remind me why I hate the Ravens, so that’s cool!

The Ravens are a great team.

When Flacco has more experience, they’ll be really, really formidable. It’s a shame you have to have the rookie growing pains, but they are inevitable. Ultimately though, I think that’s a good team. This may not be the year, but I think the year is coming—and probably sooner rather than later.

That was a brutal game

It was fun to watch though. The Ravens have had two tough losses in a row – I’m sure some of those close games will start to turn their way. We’ll hopefully put a round into the Steelers for you later this season. That will be a tough one, but hopefully the Titans will get it done.

Ravens

Are a great team. Yes, the refs were terrible, but can’t control that. You guys are the best team in your division IMO. Your defense is unreal. Your O-Line is awesome. You will be fine. Good Game. NOW GO KILL INDY.
