It's stressful being a Ravens fan

[SecretAgentMan]

At least I sound like a man when I scream..


I overreacted.

[Free Agent]

Yesterday's game was such a rollercoaster.

Scary for sure, but I loved the heck out of it, and I'd ride it again in a heartbeat.

[BloodRaven]

Even Ray couldn't contain himself, so i'll give this guy a pass.

[dacoats]

I feel bad for that guy

maybe he just needs to learn how to say the F word

works for me.......

[PurpleReign92]

This guy Rocks!!!
I couldn't take the nail bitter game either but I opened up my cell phone and started playing Tetris through the whole 4th quarter..

Close games can turn your stomach and make your hair turn grey, for some though the pressure can be a little to much to handle.

[/quote]Absolutely lovely. The way I cope with the stress is I turn off the damn TV and have my wife watch it upstairs and relay only positive outcomes. While I fret and fume in the shower praying to every God in my arsenal that we play like we are capable of! Man I feel your pain, because I thought I was the only one that was agonizing as much to the point I thought I may have some crazy in me!!!!!! LOL

Lol don't kick it to Holloway? lol. For some reason I don't think that guy could take it.

A guy that couldn't take it and deserves an Oscar.

The best part of this is the end "Alright, Dad," and he hangs up. He never said anything else. His father just gets it. It's just about sharing that incredible moment.
It is stressful being a Ravens fan, or any sports fan, but the stressful ones are always the best memories.

That's obviously fake and forced so they could post a YouTube video.

I wish I was able to record our reaction in the bar when Jones made that TD. The place [b]exploded [/b]with cheers and people screaming for joy.

[BloodRaven]

I prefer when my brother and I scream and jump around celebrating a touchdown to him throwing plates at me and telling me to GTFO.

[Clutch Ravens]

I now have a grey hair thanks to this game. I literally have one solitary grey hair that appeared the morning after this game. I'm 20 and I have my first grey hair thanks to this team and you know what? I'm cool with it.

Man, all the Broncos fans told me the game was in the bags in the late fourth quarter. However, I told them the game ain't over till it's over. When the Mile High Miracle happened, I was jumping around the sportsbar saying it ain't over till it's over.

Flacco has done plenty of 4th quarter comebacks before and this one was no exception. What sets Flacco apart from others is that he only needs 10 seconds to launch a bomb for a touchdown.

It was an emotional back-and-forth game that both team played their hearts out. I'm glad that I was able to witness what could be one of the greatest games to ever see in Ravens' history.

I was concerned that it was over until we got the ball back. I knew we would tie it. Joe has driven for the TD with a minute or so left on the clock too many times for me not to be sure. Once we hit OT I was sweating again.

[PeRK82]

We won because i was wearing my RAY LEWIS Jersey again. Been wearing since the COLTS Game and will continue to wear it for the S.B.

And man i hate Purple Jerseys but its the only Ray Jersey i have.

I Still had my Ravens Knomes and Flacco Bubble head in the middle.

I have some Rituals, lol, But its only crazy if it doesnt work.

Only One , lol, heck i got a couple now. From that game and the last AFC Champions ship. But it all started when we dominated the Stealers and ended up giving them the game. I Will Never forget those two play off games.

[Bingo Baby]

Yes it is! Especially when living right outside of Boston. I dont think i can handle another AFC championship loss while living here

[Northern-Raven]

Wouldn't have it any other way . That's just what kind of team we are, but man when we win, it is just that much more emotional.

I watched the game at a friend's house - of course they scheduled D and D night for that night and I was seriously considering not going. They needed a drunk bard however, and so I had to go. None of them are really football fans per se, I mean they like the Ravens but don't really follow that closely. At every up and down I would break character and scream and whine and complain about Manning actually being IN the referee huddle telling them what to call and I was also getting pretty hammered (drunk bard, I HAD TO ) and when Mr. Tucker nailed that 47 yarder I couldn't contain myself. I ran outside his apartments at full speed, my arms raised in the air like Joe screaming like a banshee (that was for you, Billick). People opened up their windows and asked me what the Hell my problem was. I told them we'd just won on a field goal in 2OT and I had the entire complex screaming their fool heads off too! Ahh what a great game.

As a victim of another nail-biting photo finish game this week I can fully relate. I am starting to believe the Falcons are trying to kill me. I told my wife I needed to check the NFL shop for a Falcons branded defribillator. I am still having a hard time watching the highlights.

What a good game you had. I was on the edge of my seat. I was so proud of Flacco. I was so glad he put up the kind of performance that will shut up the naysayers for at least a little while.

Manning waiting around for an hour and a half really shows what kind of player R.Lewis is and what he has meant to this league. If we get a chance to meet you in the SB and some of you come visit our board I apologize in advance for some of the classless things they will say. I can't really justify it other than to say no matter what we have done this year we have been disrespected. Every positive article still managed to take pot shots at how we had not won a PO game. We have some angry fans. Doesn't excuse it though. I hope you remember that we are not all that way. I have always tried to be a respectful visitor here.

[bauer77]

While yes its stressful being a Ravens fan, and yes its probably taken years off my life (lol), its worth every minute. I couldn't imagine rooting for any other team.

Just to add my little story in, when Jacoby caught that pass, i ran screaming through the house, arms raised in the air. That was amazing. And then the whole house exploded when Tucker made the kick. What a game. One of the best I've ever seen.

We know that feeling all too well. It gets multiplied this upcoming week. So be prepared!

[PolishRifle]

The Broncos are an amazing team led by an amazing QB and they will be back in the playoffs competing for that spot in the Superbowl next season, you can bet on that. There was really no way any team in the NFL could've blown out Denver and win convincingly. I even doubt very few could have won the way we did.

[RayForSuperBowl2013]

These two are the best by far
