[Natural Born Hitters]

Tell me about it, I gotta work tomorrow 10am-6pm. It's Monday so it will be slow at work too. I am gonna be doing as much as possible to keep myself busy so the day goes by fast, but it will be hard.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

O, everyone remember, its a Double Header MNF, so our game starts at 7PM.

I hate these Sunday night and Monday night games, I get extra nervous and end up with a headache after the game.

[McBurks]

It's going to be hard to kill time tomorrow as I don't have school. I guess I'll just lurk these forums until game time.

Twas the night before MNF, when all through the house
Not a Ravens fan was stirring, not even Steve Rouse.
The Festivus pole hung in the corner with care,
In hopes that Coach Harbaugh would soon lead us there.

The plumbers and electricians were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Joey Flacco danced in their heads.
And Stephie in her jersey and I on my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long NFL Tonight recap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new found glory
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects fury.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a brude of 53 men, and all their fighting gear.

With a little coach, so lively and filled with awe,
I knew in a moment it must be John Harbaugh!
More rapid than RAVENS his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Suggs! now, Rays! now, Oher and Webb!
On, TJ! On, Q! on, on Mase and Ed!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now fly away! Fly away! Fly away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild RAVEN fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the MandT-top the coursers they flew,
With the Lombardi, some Bohs, and crab cakes too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the turf
The scratching and crawling of each knarly hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Out the gate Ray came with a bound.

He was dressed all in black, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with blood and soot.
A bundle of hopes he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a mad man, knocking people on their sack.

His eyes-how they hawked! His guns how scary!
His Ravens they flocked, the opponents he burry!
And the blood on his chin was as red as cherry.

The piece of a plastic he held tight in his teeth,
And the cheers it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a scowling face and a stout round belly,
That shook when he barked, like a bowlful of jelly!

He sprang to the huddle, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"I will see you on the field and to all that enter, I bid thee good-night!"

CAW CAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me about it. I'll probably have my typical "Monday headache". 7pm can't get here fast enough.

After a heartbreaking Dallas loss tonight, I really need my Ravens to come through for me on Monday night.

I am even willing to allow the Chargers to win their game, as much as I hate them.

[Moderator 2]

Ravens went up on the train I think around 1pm from Penn Station. Love Mac's graphics!

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

wow train. Hope they are all rested up and ready to go. I cant imagine nurple getting any sleep tonight, tho. lol

[Greatness]

Ravens will win this game and win it convincingly. I am predicting a score of 30-10 with Flacco and company going completely off. As Dennis Green would have said...

[Quote=Dennis Green]Who takes a pre-season game as BS. BS! The Jets are who we thought they were, and we exposed them in their house! Now if you wanna still crown their ***, then crown their asses, but the Ravens exposed them for who we thought they were and got a victory because of it![/Quote]

I agree, Dennis. I agree! Go Ravens!

*[size="1"]Dennis Green didn't really say this, but that's what he would have said after the Ravens defeat the Jets.[/size]

[FlaccoFlicker]

If he talked you out of it. I can attempt to talk you back into it.

Think about it, no wait? Frozen then unfrozen - its gametime. Plus think how cool it would to be frozen. It would be a conversation topic with the ladies.

It's not like he'll be chillin on the beach watching the game. He'll have a few hours during the game (when shrinkage will not be an issue) to re acclimate himself.

Back on topic.

Alright! Finally game day! I'm working out of the house today, so it's just going to drag.
It's been a pleasure discussing the game with you guys and regardless of the result, I'll be back tomorrow to either give congrats or receive them.

Here's to a great, physical, hard hitting game with everybody coming out of it healthy, and of course................... A JETS VICTORY. GO JETS!

[PuRock]

Anyone think we set a new record for online users at once tonight? 8,033 is the record, that occured on draft night 2010.

I think we set the record since this is an opener, on the road at night. Be prepared for the site to crash a few times.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

an intro for tonight:

A dark cloud is moving from baltimore county headed to newjersey, all is quiet in the meadowlands stadium . Then a strike of lightning as joe and housh connect then the thunder as leron clears the way for rice , and lastly the silence as sanchez realizes wilson has his pass pegged and suggs nails him. these are the things Monday night will mean for us these are the things ravens fans live for these are Raven Moments to show th who WE are as a City what we represent . nothing short of dallas fellow fans it begins Tonight .

Revis is a factor Nevermore
