Y'all need to get a life!

**Tspot-D-Ravenator** · 11-13-2007, 07:37 PM

I'll probably get blasted for saying this, but I am so sick and tired of all the whining fans about this Ravens team and Brian Billick on the radio shows and the message boards

. I am tired of the whinefest, I don't have enough cheese and crackers for all y'all's whine.Y'all are some hateful people

This is not life and death, people

We're having a bad year because of a number of things, the major thing is injuries..Ya know something, we should just be happy to have a team

or do you all forget that we didn't have one for a number of years...Every team goes through problems and this year it's our turn...Just had to get that off my chest

..Thanks for listening, let the fire begin!

Everybody emotionally resolves the pain of unmet expectations at a different pace. How quickly they rearrange and adjust expectations for the future is how quickly they can return to enjoying the activity that in the first place created the pain.

I am not so sure your post is truly reflective of a mature journey through this process.

Rave on, Baby.

Ugh. Not another one of these threads where people bit each other's heads off. Stop it, please.

Oh, and if you don't enjoy the whine, don't go to the restaurants where people are drinking it.

The most ironic part about these threads is that the people who start them are whining.

Go figure.

I get what you're saying.

But really, with the expectations for this team being so high and the drop being so fast and quick, it's hard not to expect and understand what's being said.

Im actually over it as far as the disappointment. At least we won't be twisting in the wind all year fighting to barely make the playoffs. Our fate is pretty much sealed after 9 games.

Im just gonna enjoy the tailgates from here on out.

I just remember when we didn't have a team

I longed for a team and we finally got one! I love the Ravens and it is hard to see them have a losing season, but at least we have a team....Injuries played a HUGE roll in our deficiency as a contender...I don't care what anyone else says, it hurts to have so many injuries at one time at KEY positions...Brian Billick was dealt the cards he has this year and I think he did the best he could with what he was dealt...Sure he made a few bad play calls, but I don't think he trusted this offensive line...They are so young..That being said, he took the team to 13-3 last year, took us to a Super Bowl and won it, and he had the youngest team in the NFL a couple of years ago, one game away from making the playoffs....I just get frustrated with the so called "fans" of the Ravens going off about this and that...I was just venting...

Greg, are you insinuating I should stop listening to sports radio and reading the message boards?? I just might after this past weekends loss....cause I don't drink anymore

**crazyraven** · 11-13-2007, 09:15 PM

Everyone is a little edgy around here. These types of threads are understandable and probably good for a little in house fun.

**RavenTD** · 11-14-2007, 01:55 AM

Yes, don't whine,don't complain,don't do anything.And before you know it we could become as bad as the Miami Dolphins.

Messageboards,radio shows,are a great place to vent,and let out your frustrations.People who are angry and frustrated at this point show me how much they love their team.They are hyper emotional about how far the team has sung,how high their expectations were for this team.

Picking holes where holes do not exist is stupid.But this team has plenty of holes and hang ups at the moment.It does not hurt for us to talk about them.

**ravenwoman** · 11-14-2007, 05:30 AM

All of this tells me one thing--that we really love our team. If that weren't so, we would not spend time writing and posting. We all should value the opinion of others, even if it isn't exactly our own.

However, I have seen things get personal and insulting over the past 2 weeks. I am going to enjoy the remaining games, even New England and the Colts, because they are good teams with good players and I like football.

I will hold out hope for a win, but if we lose, we always have the hope of next year with all the changes it brings.

**Bez513** · 11-14-2007, 07:38 AM

No offense tspot...but get off your podium. People have a right to be pissed...and being pissed shows they do care about this team. If they didn't people wouldn't give a crap about what they did or how bad their play really sucks.

**festivus** · 11-14-2007, 10:40 AM

The hysteria is ridiculous, I agree.

Everybody thinks there is a silver bullet, they know what it is, and they are incensed it is not being used.

It's not that simple, Tspot, but people want to believe it is. Fans like you, who are not wetting the bed because it's a down year and their expectations have not been met, are willing to stay to the end of the game even when the team is losing. But the ones whose hearts are broken, who cannot stomach the thought of cheering for the team even though it's not performing as well as we'd hoped, leave the stadium in droves.

I don't know for sure but I would guess you'd see this behavior most places. Let them be hysterical, most will come back to earth eventually.

**festivus** · 11-14-2007, 11:31 AM

I am *certain* there used to be a rule on the internet that threads got locked when somebody brought up Nazis. Not out of political correctness but rather out of a philosophy that clearly useful discussion had come to a halt.

Mods?

**purplepoe** · 11-14-2007, 11:53 AM

Wow, we certainly have some brilliant minds at work on this board.

The Jews: Hitler please stop killing us!!
Hitler: Just stop your whining and take it

Whoa! Harsh! WTF?
You seem like the type to predict doom, just
so's you can say "I told you so"! One man's opinion.. That we don't need!
