Watching bits of the playoffs makes me miss watching the playoff Ravens. I miss the Ravens being the heavy underdog. I miss the excitement in the announcers voice that this bump in the road was taking the Super Bowl favorite for a run and making the playoffs exciting. How many upsets are there really in without the Ravens in it? And I mean real upsets, not 3 point underdogs. I mean wildcard team vs Super Bowl favorite. Even last week when all 4 road teams won - they were still the teams everyone thought would win. Bias aside, the Ravens are the only team I count on to shake up the standings. In fact, the Ravens (and Giants, and Jets one year) started making analysts think a first round bye might be a hindrance. It'd be like Houston or Washington beating the Patriots or Carolina. We all knew they would just stink.
