I recall the slogan banner from the Raider, glory years gone past, "A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE". That slogan banner had stood at Raider stadium (and it still may?)well beyond the glory years and oddly enough, through many of their horrible years- perhaps even decades. Their banner was long overdue to be removed based on their long years of mismanaged and pathetic play. That just makes me think of OUR slogan, "PLAY LIKE A RAVEN". At a time when we had a hard nosed defense and we seemed to rise against many odds- for a hard fought victory, the slogan (from what I gather) came into fruition. Recently, I am not seeing this. As of now, I am seeing only, "_ _ _ _ LIKE A RAVEN". We all can fill in something there if we choose. One week we are blaming a lack of weapons, the next- a horrible pass defense, mounting injuries. While most can be true- I firmly believe that we should still be playing much better across the board. ALOT appears missing- and is, however, do the Ravens want to continue to PLAY LIKE A RAVEN?
Time will tell. It will be up to the front office to straighten this one out. Remember, that's where it starts.
