Pride

Hey I just wanted to say, (and I doubt anyone on here really has this issue) that there is no longer any reason, at all, to have a lack of pride for being a fan of this team - whether or not you are even from Maryland.

The Raven's have proven to be one of the best franchises in the NFL - period. Personally, I think we need to start puffing out our chests a little more. I think after this season we will also start getting a lot more of that national media attention that tends to be neglected.

Not that I wasn't before, but I'm very proud to be a Raven's fan, more then ever. This team is tough, and they know how to kick a*s even on the road. Imagine if we could ever get a bye week again and have some home playoff games.

Amen brotha.

How'd get that home game during our Super Bowl year? Were we the 5th seed?

Prior to 2002, there were only 3 divisions. That meant 3 division winners and 3 wildcard teams made the playoffs. The top wildcard team (US) got a home game in the opening round.

AGREED!!! 2nd year coach, 2nd year QB, and year running back yet we made it to the playoffs again. Yes our year is over, but we have plenty to look forward to. WE NEED RECEIVERS!!! I love Heap and I hope he returns, but I also hope that we get the poor guy some backup. Smith was the worst pickup this year. Mason is likely gone. Let's hope we can do well in the draft and pick up a vet (i'd like to see K. Washington return).

I STILL LOVE THE RAVENS!!!!!

You have to have pride to get this far in the playoffs. Only one city is happy each year. The rest wonder what MIGHT have happened had this or that gone their way.

The worst part of this time of year, and I say this every January, is we now have to wait 8 fucking months for another Ravens game!!! And, of course, nothing besides the NFL draft to keep our interest.
