[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I dont really like it to be honest. I always liked being the underdog, already knowing what the articles had to say...Just without the rest of the nation knowing.

lol! Dont think so, but like said before, lately i think the lack of attention is a good thing so we can catch teams by surprise. but either way i like it

[rayvenfan_52]

I thought the article was pretty cool.

It was hella shocking when it popped up as the 1st article and not 2nd or 3rd.

Do you think the Giants are going to be reading NFL.com?

I like how Matt Ryan took up more of breaking down Joe Flacco then Joe Flacco did.... and i hate how we keep getting paired with the Falcons because of our records qb's and coaches

How absurd. Objective analysts see parallels between two teams who have both vastly improved, trot out rookie quarterback and are both run by rookie head coaches. Preposterous! And I agree, it's completely unfair that the superior quarterback from a major system, who was drafted in the top three, gets more attention than Flacco. The audacity!

The English major in me got excited, reading the extensive/intellectual vocabulary used in this short response.

[mpplaya07]

...we'll always be the underdogs lol, but I feel you too. I rather have the respect of other teams than to have an article on nfl.com, but hey we're movin' on up and I actualy kinda like it being shoved into peoples faces. Especially coming off of last season and hearing everything people though we we're gonna amount to this season.

And how long do u guys think that will last. The reason why the Ravens were able to go under the radar in years past is because we were not a good overall TEAM. Everyone know our D and trust me when i say, NOBODY slept on them.

Now if the offense continues to play the way we have lately, every coach watching film on us will know just how good we are regardless of the amount of National media articles. Many of us want the Ravens to be an Elite team in this league, but by the same token we want to be constant underdogs. Well we will not be able to do both.

If u wanna be [b]ELITE[/b]. People around the league will know exactly who u are and u will have to show up and play week in and week out. No matter if we are favorites or not. If u wanna be constant [b]underdogs[/b], then u will have to deal with the same [b]MEDICORE[/b] teams we have been seeing for the past Decade in Baltimore.

Teams like Cle, Oak, Ari, Buf, Cincy, etc sneak up on people. Teams like NE, Indy, Pitt, and SD don't get a chance to sneak up on anyone. Which grouping would u rather your Favorite team be in.

Maybe now that our offense is putting up quite a lot of points we might not need to have that underdog feeling weve always had.

That underdog feeling that we Raven fans always thought we needed in order for us to have a good game without a bad feeling about losing.

Maybe Flacco will change the way all Ravens feel about being an underdog.

When that day comes we could probably feel what a lot of Colt fans feel every year.
A shot at being in the Superbowl for as many years as they can remember ever since Peyton Manning was their QB.

Manning has only had 1 bad season after his rookie season and thats this season.
Maybe Flacco can do that for us?

peyton manning chokes in big games, i would much rather have Flacco follow the line of Tom Brady, but i understand exactly what u are saying

You cant really think Tom Brady won all those games himself?

I think it had a lot to do with Belichick watching the DCs signals.

[MagicianCamille]

I'm okay with it. We give away important games even when we don't get coverage, so who cares if people know about us or not.

That came off as more negative than I wanted it to...but sadly it's true.

Go Ravens!

No one player wins games alone. However Belichick wasn't on the field on those last minute drives. Payton has coaches in Dungy and Moore that are just as good as Belichick. Payton has had much more offensive weapons but in big games Brady has just found more ways to win. Look at the playoff game last season. Jax took his big play weapons away and he just killed them underneath he was like 24 for 26.

I don't think Peyton has had a bad career, i just beleive win he team needs him most he doesn't play as well. look at the year they won the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning had probably his worse 3 game strecth in the Playoffs with like 7 ints, 3 TD's, only difference was that his defense stepped up and bailed him out.
