Having lost an AFCCG to the Steelers and one to the Patriots, those playoff losses are hard to take.ħ TD passes….blah blah blah….stats are for LOSERS!!!! Hello!!! There are 15 more games to go!!! Whether we lost by 50 or 5, it still only counts as one (by the way, I’m typing this s l o w l y so my Steeler buddies will understand -) I guess that loss last year really hurt, eh?:) I can empathize though. Hahaha! Hysterical thread! Denver fans are acting like they won a Super Bowl. However, I do anticipate that the Ravens will bounce back strong at home against the Browns. It will definitely take some of the luster off of the banner raising ceremony at M&T Stadium next week. I think this punch in the mouth by the Broncos has wiped any of that lingering Super Bowl taste out of the Ravens mouths. I always think the 4th game quarter pole is the best benchmark for understanding what kind of team you have. We have seen that time and again in the NFL. You are never as good or as bad as the first game of the season. I remember when the Ravens blew out the Steelers opening day of the 2011 season. The second half was probably one of the sloppiest I had seen over the last few years.Įvery NFL team has a game like this on occasion. I was not anticipating a win, but certainly not the butt-whipping that they got. It is their longest travel road game of the season and it is done. We were obligated to play Denver in Denver, and after the baseball snafu I was glad Baltimore got it out of the way first game. I thought all along that this was one of the toughest games on our schedule. That leaves a lot of work to do before they ask for a rematch. The changes they made were significant, replacing many key veteran starters and role players. The world did not know the Ravens were going to give up a franchise record in points allowed (previously, 46 by the Patriots in 1996). And I think the whole world knew that going in.”
All this game tells us – we’re not going to go 16-0. “But will we go in the tank? Is the whole season down the drain? No. “We’ve got some things we’ve got to fix, tighten up, obviously,” Suggs said. After beating the Broncos in overtime in icy conditions then, the Ravens wilted in the damp heat. Granted, the last time the Ravens went to Denver, last year in the playoffs, the result was as different as the weather.
“The great thing is it’s Week 1,” Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said, via Tom Pelissero of USA Today. The beating the Ravens took last night was thorough and convincing.Īfter allowing a record-tying seven touchdown passes from Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning in a 49-27 loss, the Ravens weren’t backing down.
