Turdsdown Tom posted:also i just read the NFL homepage and since when does 28-7 get described as "a rout" The 2nd half pretty much was. We were down 7-6 going into it but the Browns seemed to have thrown in the towel after the half started. Again the first half was pretty bad for the Ravens. They looked real bad and I wasn't the only one saying the Browns might win. And I do think losing that game would have got Harbaugh fired, maybe not today but at the end of the year.

You're so far up your own rear end that you legitimately think that there's no discernable difference between how the Ravens are run and how teams like the Browns and Raiders (pre Carr) were run in the last 15 years. You legitimately cannot see that not only are the Ravens one of the best run teams in the NFL, they're one of the best run teams in North American sports. You're an entitled trust fund kid who bitches and complains when Mommy and Daddy only get you a corvette for Christmas and not a Rolls Royce. You are the epitome of delusion and you can't loving see it and it's goddamn infuriating. You're so far loving gone in this delusion that you'll never be able to appreciate the team you have and stare dumbfounded and confused when other people who root for the same team as you call you an idiot. You're not trolling, you're just so far loving gone in the delusion that you'll never be able to escape.

It was right around the time I started watching the Ravens. Dan Snyder had just bought the team and they had made the playoffs and won a game. Then they signed all these players that offseason and drafted Chris Samuels and Lavarr Arrington and were certain they were on the cusp of a dynasty. I decided I was going to cheer for the Ravens since we're in Baltimore and they acted like I was crazy or something. Like why would I not support a team with their history and tradition? It got real bad then they beat the Ravens that year and I never heard the end of it(but of course they didn't *really* care according to them), then the Ravens won the Superbowl and they missed the playoffs and they were quiet. So I always have wanted misery for them. Then they lost all the time under Snyder. So I liked seeing it and was glad for them to have misery and they were always my least favorite team. Also we have no rivalry with the Raiders I just wanted us to be the last team to ever win a playoff game there. I'd say the same thing like it would be cool to win a playoff game in Buffalo not because of a rivalry but because it just would be. Not many playoff games get played there. That's not fabricating a rivalry I just like little things like that. Kawalimus fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Nov 12, 2016 |

Nobody sympathizes with you because of that whole "and then the ravens won a super bowl" part Even if they'd only won one you'd still look like an idiot. They've won 2 in the last 15 years, so you look like a legendary idiot Don't complain about lack of current success to people who would wish for this problem. it's hosed up you even need this spelled out for you.

I'm not asking for anyone's sympathy when I say stuff like the Raiders stuff, or the Redskins stuff. I'm just telling why I don't like them. That's really it. I don't care if we've won twelve Superbowls I'm still gonna find stuff to root for and get mad about. That's what football is all about to me. And we were real good in 2010 and 2011 but I felt we could have been a real juggernaut. And it's football fandom nobody's starving or dying. The idea that I shouldn't complain about my team because some other teams fans are "suffering" and would rather have those problems is one I won't pay a bit of attention to. And I'd never have the same attitude if it were the other way around. I don't go around to other hockey teams fans and tell them how good they have it and they shouldn't complain just cause their teams won a cup and mine hasn't. I'd never do that.

I caught part of it because gently caress watching a whole TNF game anymore, but still: -the gold font on the Ravens' jersey is kinda dope. -Browns' offensive line is absolute trash except for Joe Thomas. That one whiff Cleveland's LG did on a blitzing Raven LB that got McCown strip sacked was as piss poor an effort as you'll see in pro football. Somehow Cam Erving wasn't the worst o-line starter they put out there last night. -and yet the Browns' defense was even worse than that. There were a lot of plays where they could stopped a Raven player from gaining more yardage, only to have 'em slip away and rack up more. Just poor tackling all around, and it's a microcosm of why they've lost a lot of close games this year (though this obviously isn't one of them). They can't stop anybody, basically. I can't really make heads or tails of the Ravens this year; their offense has looked mediocre for a myriad number of reasons (Flacco still recovering from his knee injury, a beat up offensive line) and their defense has gradually looked more solid as the year's gone on. I can see 'em getting a wildcard as easily as missing the playoffs, depending on if they can get healthy.

We'll either win the division or miss the playoffs. I don't expect the team to be .500 or over. But teams do overachieve and 9-7 could win this division. Ravens and Bengals still have to play each other both times, so those games could be pretty huge as far as the AFCN is concerned. I expect the Bengals to sweep. Ravens record could be a lot worse. When we were 3-0 the consensus here was that we were a pretty bad 3-0 team, and that our fans shouldn't get too excited since we just barely were able to beat teams like Jacksonville and Cleveland. So we've gone from 3-0 to 5-4, a 2-4 record since then. And the schedule for the Ravens gets a little difficult soon. @ Dallas next week. Then the rest of the games are vs Bengals, vs Dolphins, @Patriots, vs Eagles, @ Steelers, @ Bengals. I don't see four wins in there which is the number I'm guessing we would need for the division. Say we beat Cincinnati and Miami at home(which is not certain at all), so then you'd need two more out of the rest. Steelers and us will probably split. Probably will split with Bengals also. So we'd need to win 2 out of 3 of @Dallas, @Patriots, and vs Eagles to get over 8-8. I don't see it happening, and that's assuming the best. Maybe we could steal a sweep from Pittsburgh or Cincinnati but I don't think that will happen. Other way is that something like 8-8 actually wins the division, but I don't think the division is that bad that the winning team will be .500 or under. Looks like Pittsburgh has two games left against Cleveland, so they have a pretty big advantage based on that. We will probably need to sweep them to win it. The two wildcards this season will almost certainly be from the AFC West. Kawalimus fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Nov 12, 2016 |

 I want to be really mad at the Cowboys for fielding a defense this risky and full of holes, a defense that only exists because they ignored it for so drat long, but when you're 7-1 clearly there's something about it that manages to work. It may not/probably won't hold up in the playoffs, but until we reach that point I just have to smile and enjoy the ride. My team has serious issues, but it is somehow succeeding despite them. Which hey, is kinda kick rear end when it's all said and done.
