If you had to choose a type of team

[100YARDS]

Would you rather have a team that is regimented to the point they are favorites to win week in and out? .............. OR........

Would you rather see a nail biter - heart attack win in the last seconds of the game kind of team?

[K-Dog]

I hate hate hate hate hate hate the nail biter games, but oh my gawd they make you feel so alive.

 

Good question though.

[hawkprey]

I hate letting teams hang around. But all that matters is getting the farthest. I'd rather have our 2012 season than the Broncos' 2013.

[Moderator 3]

I kind of like the nail biters, even though they tear up my stomach. The problem with expecting to win is that it is crushingly disappointing when you don't. Just ask Broncos fans. They were heavily favored they last two years. I like knowing we CAN win, but we might have to scratch and claw for it.

[100YARDS]

I always like watching the pregame shows when they pick against Baltimore, THOSE are the games we win.

 

It's always a hex when they favor the Ravens

 

 

........ and yes K-dog .... they DO make ya' feel alive! ...........

The nail biters are more fun, it's what draws people into sports.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the nail biters.

I would rather we just blow everyone out and win the Super Bowl every year but that is impossible. Either way, I would rather watch a blowout since I can gain years on my life back from the nail biters lol. However a good nail biter just makes you feel alive as said above. Now if we lose, I would rather get blown out so at least I know the game is up. Losing close games due to fluke plays are the worst sentence in sports I believe. Especially in the playoffs like the ones we have had.

I love the nail-biters. I reckon some of the best moments come when someone steps up during those games, and more often than not you'll remember the epic plays and riveting games long after you've forgotten the result of some 10-point win over the Browns.

 

And if you were blowing teams out every week, then I reckon a blowout (or even a win) would only be met with relief, as opposed to sheer exhilaration. So I reckon you'd really just be relieved or heart-wrenchingly disappointed after a game.

 

Yes I know those close games kill you (I still feel kinda dead after that Jason Campbell dagger on 4th down), but I'd rather live with those results on the side. Gotta take the good with the bad.

[Militant X 1]

I like teams that are winning every week!  Sure, there will come a time when they will run up on a loss but to me; it speaks volumes when the media and analysts mentions your team as the favorite.  It just means that there are EXPECTATIONS!  Let's be real; even on our incredible Super Bowl run and win; the "expectations" of the Ravens winning those games was extremely low!  Why?  Because of how they played at times!  This season; the "expectations" for the Broncos was extremely high!  Why?  Because of how they played throughout the season!  Nothing wrong with that!  That is what I like!  I hate being the underdog every damn week!  At some point; I want to see the Ravens viewed as a offensive and defensive juggernaut that no team wants to face in the regular season and definitely in the playoffs!

 

Go Ravens!!!

It seems like I drink more beer on the nailbiters cuz I'm nervous. Bottoms up.

[Passepartout]

Definately the latter as love it when games come down to the wire!

I've always thought the same about pre game picks. every time all analyst picks ravens (that I remember seeing) our team has failed

[cobrajet]

We are always playing the nail biter games, I long to be the team that scores at will. Many times my blood pressure goes to the point where I feel like I am going to have a stroke and I am on three medications to control it. Health-wise I much rather not have as many nail biters, it honestly actually makes me feel bad.

[George70]

When I play "Second Season", I usually hope for a close game - or, at the very least, competitive.  This is what I look forward to in real pro football.

[allblackraven]

Haha, as far as we're all concerned it doesn't really matter what we like more - 13 out of 16 will be nail biters for us. And then come the playoffs.

 

Makes us tough.
