Everybody and their mother thinks that the Ravens are going to be very angry and foaming at the mouth to get on the field and prove themselves. But it seems that whenever the mass media spends the entire week dragging this organization through the mud is when they come out with pin point execution and also when they're at their angriest and best.
2010, the team looks terrible in all three phases in a loss to Cleveland. Enter ESPN and the like for a week questioning whether the organization is on it's way out. One week later, in front of a national audience, Pittsburgh gets their lunch handed to them. 2011, the team loses two straight for the first time in God knows how long. Enter ESPN and the like for a week questioning whether the organization is on it's way out. One week later, in front of a national audience, the Jets get embarrassed. The more that this team makes controversial headlines this week, the more confident I'm starting to become that we can pull this out and end the Ravens' home winning streak. It all comes down to the trenches.
