Why Not?!

[UKRavenGordon]

I ask you. Why not. We have nothing to lose this season. It was a successful year four weeks ago. We're playing aswell as any team in the league. Why not just go all the way?

Admittedly this may be the Jack and Coke talking but hell, I'm game. Ravens in Tampa? Why not!

Because we may have to go through Indy to do it. I'm not purposely trying to pop that bubble UK, but I don't think we go into Indy and beat the Colts.

Personally, I maintain what I have since our 8th win. Everything past that is just gravy on top of a great season. If we went one-and-done (which I don't think we'll do), I will be no less happy with the Ravens considering where I thought they'd be.

Now, I think we get to the AFC Championship game. If what I am hearing about Rothlesberger is correct, Pittsburgh won't be a factor. I believe we can beat Miami. And I think we can beat Tennessee considering we almost did the first time.

But if we have to go to Indy, I think that is as far as we get. And that will be ok with me.

It appears Ben is going to be OK as of right now, I think they can win with Leftwich also, he did well when he had to step in earlier this year and doesn't have a habit of holding on to the ball too long like Ben does. Should be a good rematch between Indy and Pittsburgh since I expect them to at least make it to the second round.

There are a number of routes we may end up taking. I do have the feeling that we can beat Miami again, could beat the Titans, and that could take us into either Indi or Pit. or somewhere else.

We are not geared up to beat the Colts - but why worry.

:iagree:

We have faced Miami, Indy, and Tenn this year. We know what to expect. Plus, we have some serious momentum going.

I agree that we don't match up well with Indy. But Indy will have to play San Diego and Pittsburgh (if we beat Miami). Either of those two teams could beat Indy and do us a favor.

If we could play
1. Miami
2. Tennessee
3. San Diego or Pittsburgh

then I think we have an excellent shot at making it.

Interesting that some in the media are starting to hop on the Ravens bandwagon (Jaworski, Collingsworth). Page 2 Gallo gives us the 4th best odds of getting to the Super Bowl.

Gallo's pieces are usually all satire (and very funny). Not sure how much he really believes in those odds.

we beat miami
go to tenn. beat them
then go to Shittsburg and beat them, no way they beat us three times.
then on to Tampa to play the Giants again.
