In Response to Re: Ravens are overrated! : ' Quite the pretentious lecture from a ravens homer. I hardly know where to start in pointing out his flaws. 1. Overrated is an objective standard. Who are you to tell anyone that their judgment as to what team is overrated or not is invalid? 2. You're quick to point out that we "should have" lost the bills game and tout your own 3-0 record but you neglect to mention that those wins have come against the worst teams in the league. So all your bragging on 34 PPg game is meaningless in that your wins have come against practice squads like the browns and KC. 3. Obviously your personel is different that the jests but your schemes are identical. That fact that you don't understand that tells me that you understand very little about football. 4. You forgot to mention that your team has never beaten the Pats. Last time around your own coaching staff lost the game for you. So, let me assure you, if anyone is loosing sleep over this game, its not BB and company but your own weak coaching staff. 5. Are you proud of the fact that you have a murderer playing MLB?

First off the statement that being overrated is an "opinion", not fact, makes it subjective. Never said invalid. But if on any given Sunday any team, whether they are practice squads or not, can win against another, means that no team can be overlooked.
Secondly, there was no game tape on the new philosophy of the KC team. They were very much like us last year with a new head coach and staff and new starting QB (Croyle may have been the backup, but he does have starting experience, having started many games for them in '08). So the fact that we dominated them should not be taken for granted. I'll admit the Browns are in disarray, but we handled our business against a divisional team that traditionally plays hard against us (remember there is a lot of bitterness towards the Ravens because Art Modell moved the team here). And 34 PPG is an accomplishment, regardless of who you play.
Yes, last time we played you guys we lost. And there were several factors that led to that loss. If Rex didn't call the timeout, if we weren't called for erroneous penalties, if some of our players remained disciplined, if our D did not allow you guys to make crucial conversions on critical downs and score in the final moments fo the game. The fact remains is that we lost that game. But, both you and I know that in this league you cannot live in the past. To claim that the Pats will win because you did in '07 is false security. We are not the same team, not the same coaching staff, not the same identity.
Lastly, I refuse to comment on unfounded cheap shots.
