Which Game Felt Better?

[jamespurdy52]

All heard was how last year Flacco beat charlie batch at Heinz field and he couldnt beat Ben.Well we persevered we won so ho long before all the non believers start again.I am proud today and the win felt great!!!

This game by far... at night, on the road, last-minute TD for the win... doesn't get better than that, folks!

Week #9, in week #1 for some reason we never lost composure. Last night we actually fought through some serious mishaps and stayed in the game to see a nail biter that will be remembered for a long time.

This game felt better, despite the nailbiter that was the last 2:37.

While I loved the blowout win we had in week 1, last night was a chance to see if Joe Flacco would rise or fall under major pressure and with going into a hurry up offense with the game on the line. I'm not going to lie, a few times as the play was started, I was praying that he didn't throw a pick, because that's what usually would happen when we were in a situation like this. However, it all came together beautifully with those short passes to Boldin to get the first downs and keep the drive alive until he could throw that end zone catch to Smith. All of that together, plus the Ravens showing they are not out of a game like this until we hit 60 minutes all just made this game and win so much sweeter.

This game. Does anyone know if there are any vids on youtube of fans reacting to the TD in a bar or something? I loved watching them go crazy when Housh caught the game winning TD Week 4 last year.

I really dont know. I chose last night but Im telling you, in all my years as a fan, NOTHING compares to these two games in one season and more specifically, HOW they were won. One a total embarrassment, one a COMPLETE AND UTTER nail-biter. Last nights win is made just a bit sweeter by the fact it was in their house and went SILENT after that TD. I wouldn't change these for the world and Im going to relish them for some time!

This game week 9 felt better because it eliminates so many of built in excuses about the game being "ravens Super Bowl".

This game played out like every Steeler vs Raven game because 80% of games the Ravens are usually leading most of game or leading in the 4th qtr before blowing a lead.... ( which is why I never knew why analysts act is if we get pounded by them ). The steelers essential always make comebacks on us, then we fail to answer. Well to slam the door shut on the Steelers at their home with a comeback win unlike any other is just sweet.
It's a Hollywood screen. The only way this would have been better is if this game were week 17 and this loss kept them out of playoffs.

This game was like our version of the ( Santonio Holmes ) TD stealing win in 2008

[PaintinPGPurple]

Week 9 and it's no close. Week 1 was great, but the Ravens stole this one like Ben used to do to us. It was great.

[bpytnjr58]

This one was sweeter because last night was supposed to be the "Revenge Game" and it was going to be a big payback by stomping "The Ratbirds" at the big ketchup bottle.

week one.
ZERO controversy, ZERO excuses.

You sir, need to get busy on that montage.

Indeed he does.

The montage he did on the Cardinals game was spectacular. However , spectacular will not be sufficient this week. This week we expect epic. Other-worldly. Something that would make Michelangelo ashamed of his casual efforts on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

It's crunch time , PeRK82 , but we know you'll come through for us.

[Sub-Zero]

this game was definitely alot sweeter but I hate how we blew the 10 point lead as fast as we did, seems like we always let them back in after what seems to be a comfortable lead. Oh well if they meet again in January I don't think we have to worry about them creeping back in, I think we stomp them like we did week 1 imo

[PuRock]

Good Topic. But I have to go with the win on the road in front of a national audience at night.

[Ravenslifer]

I think both wins are our signature wins of the season. But I have to go with this game. Week 1 showed the world what the Ravens are capable of when everyone plays up to their capabilities. But this game showed the world what we can do against adversity, and more importantly, what Joe can do when he's given time to throw the ball. Trent Dilfer mentioned this, and I agree, that after Joe led last week's Arizona comeback and yesterday's GW drive, that he is really starting to take things to the next level. Eerily, look at Aaron Rogders' stats from last season. Six games into the season, the Packers were 3-3, and Rodgers had 7 INTs to go with only 10 TDs. Then, he faced the monkey on his back from the previous season, Brett Favre and the Vikings. Rodgers still threw 2 picks in that game, but the Packers won. Rodgers over Favre. The rest of the season, the Packers went 6-2, and Rodgers had 16 TDs to only 2 picks. That victory over Favre changed something in Rodgers. I'm hoping that the comeback in Arizona last week followed up by this week's comeback at Pittsburgh will do the same thing for Flacco.

The one yesterday, and its not close.

[scrock]

its because the magnitude of last nights game was much more than week 1, week 1 was huge too but at Pittsburgh, on national TV, these games are all starting to carry more weight and we needed it because we fumbled the lead already losing to the Jaguars and Titans

[GTRavens]

I'm surprised that no one is going with Week 1. Obviously this game was epic and memorable, but no one thought we'd be capable of utterly destroying them the way we did. That truly felt special, and had its own elements of redemption.

[Bishop]

Week 9 more suspense and fantastic finish But WEEK 1 was most refrshing game ever, especially after losing to them in the playoffs last year. Other then a play or 2 here and there, I feel like we out played them all 5 games between 2010 and 2011

[AmericanSatire]

[size=3][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Week 9, no contest. For all the reasons mentioned throughout the thread, there is only one way this victory could be any sweeter. I honestly hope the Steelers make the playoffs so the Ravens can pull the hat-trick on them. Tie the Flacco/Harbaugh vs. Steelers era at 6-6, get a championship and then -- no more excuses. That is the only way it could get any sweeter.[/font][/size]

Week 9. The feeling of beating them on [b]primetime television, in the later matchup, on the road, and to clinch a sweep[/b] for the first time since 2006 is an amazing feeling.
