    What's wrong with Flacco?  It takes 8 to 12 months to physically heal from a torn ACL and it usually takes 18 months total for the physical and mental aspects of a torn acl and he's playing behind a line that's a sieve.  There was the scare when his brace got mangled a few weeks ago and all that plays into the mental aspect.  Here is a chart of what  SB winning QB can expect, Im pulling this because it seems so many are fixated on Joes salary  http://moneynation.com/how-much-money-do-you-make-if-you-win-the-super-bowl/   

    Potential salary increase for players who Win Super Bowl              0 to 10 million.

    Do y'all realize it has not been a year since we watched our QB tear up his knee?  It  will be a year tomorrow

    Am I making an excuse for Joe's up and down play? Nope as a person that has torn her knee up pretty bad and working on it I understand what it take to gut through it, but this could be a reason his play is off not to mention the turnstile of offensive  coordinators and injury riddle O line it all adds to offensive woes.  Do the fans who play a small fortune for tickets want to hear the excuses NO.

    You're going to hate me for telling this but not only Jack Kent Cooke blocked expansion, but so did Art Modell, because he was having financial troubles in Cleveland back then, and wanted the Baltimore market for himself.  John Moag head of the Maryland Stadium Authority went with him over, Al Davis, the Cardinals and the Bucs because he felt that organization offered the best chance of success for this town.

    My dad was a Cabinet Secretary under Harry Hughes and Willy Don until 1991 and had some Bidwell and Al Davis Davis stories, he was out before the Glazers and Mr Modell and the expansion team.  The play at Memorial stadium and the 'new' stadium had theoretically been in the plans in the late 80's.  Dad retired from 30+ years of state/military service the year I got married.

    I found out about JKC 5 years ago and knew about Modell.  My brother was a Bernie Kosar fan so he followed the Browns.

    Honestly I follow the 'Skins with the second coming of one of my favorite Coaches, Joe Gibbs but it's nowhere near the same as I am for the Ravens.  My 6 yo is as rabid of a Ravens fan there is, instead of other teams he follows other players like Cam Newton, Markus Mariodus, the wr for the Giants that torched us and he already is telling me Elliot stats and then he quotes speed and I remind him it's not Madden lol

    Ravens fans believe any given game we can kick butt and win every game, love being the underdog and love breaking up homecomings like the last trip to Jerrys World.  I do love watching  ' Making the Team' on CMT about the cheerleaders every August, it does give you a look into how that organization is run, it's something else.  A couple of summers ago a I was watching my show and come out of the kitchen to see 3 boys aged 4 to 22 mesmerized in front of the TV, I forget where the older two were going but they never left.

    My Family told me not to root for Washington teams when they're in D,C. We just don't do that.. How many of you heard of Loudy Loudenslager? He was Colts #1 fan. He said when the Colts left in 1947 Baltimoreans didnt go off and root for the Skins. They rooted for Maryland Terps until Baltimore gets another team. We all should follow Loudy's example. 

    Most kids have an AFC and NFC, I picked the 'Skins to annoy my dad and AFC teams the Colts.  My dad used to call me his daughter the son-- he was in the Navy when I was born and thought I was a boy for a week because the fleet was in  the middle  of  a hurricane lol-- and he had no issues taking me to Colt games or the World Series or Army-Navy game at the Vet.  I never knew until recently what JKC did to block us getting another team.  In 1993 I remember sitting in bed giving my now 24 yo his bottle when they announced JAX got the team we should have gotten crying ( hormones lol) I would never take him to a game.  BTW in 1947 my mom was in first grade , I may be a rarity but I learn who is on my team not the 'super fans' and will leave it at that.

    I was a HUGE 'Skins fan when we didn't have a team.  With my engagement ring there were 2 pre-season 'Skins ticket and a regular season Eagles- Dallas lol  Back in the day yo didn't have to buy preseason tix if you were a Season ticket.  RFK was a cool place to watch a game, Fed-Ex blech.  IT took me until 1998 to get on the Ravens bandwagon.  When they announce the team was coming here I had a sick baby at home- 4 NICU days- and my Father in law was dieing of cancer.  Not time for football, when the team moved into PSI Net a friend took me and my hubby to 2 games, we left the stadium with a signed PSL agreement after the first game, we had to buy 3 PSLs because of location so my dad took that seat and mom babysat.  I think it was 15 yrs before I went to a prime time game lol  I have not rooted for the 'skins in 20 years. Now I have to beat my kids over the head for MY seats lol
