Quote:Ravens fan here. I'm amped for the game and have been reading your guys' message board a bit this morning. I found it especially interesting how you think every team underestimates "how bad you really are" ... To be fair, as a couple posters pointed out, many NFL fans don't get Jags games. I probably speak for most Ravens fans when I say we just assume the media overblows suckitude (and greatness, at the other end of the spectrum) for the sake of easy storylines.

 

(Plus, as someone who plays fantasy, it was confusing to hear about how "awful" the Jags are then see Shorts III and Hurns producing in PPR!)

 

Anyway, I've learned a bit from reading the forum today so I thought I would join in the spirit of friendly competition. Even though there is "revenge" talk, and I admit I'd love to "avenge" the loss from three years ago... again, it was three years ago. And that was the year we lost to the Patriots in the AFCCG in NE because Evans dropped a TD and Cundiff choked like the choker he is. You can argue that if we'd had the #1 seed, we would've beaten NE since things were that close playing them away, but the fact is we did everything to win that game and didn't. I see it as a moot point.

 

Here's to no injuries and a fun game! I'm interested to see the Jags' D, which I've actually heard complimentary things about, as well as Bortles. I don't underestimate teams playing for pride ... you'll be looser than anyone on the Ravens' sideline!
