And the superbowl engravings

[ludy51]

Red Rifle. Hahahahahaha!

[52520Andrew]

Hurray, pool pic!!!

[codizzle]

Is that the SB numbers in the concrete?

On mobile really hard to make out anything

Already found it

[Mt. Crushmore]

So much going on in that picture in the background.

[The Mom Gene]

Awesome again 1/28

[Inqui]

I was a bit sketchy after seeing the injury report this morning, but now I'm feeling a lot better. Time to solidify our spot at the top I'm thinking.

[Cville-Raven]

good to see the pool pic

[rmw10]

I think 1/28 has earned pool pic rights from now on.

[GrimCoconut]

All continues to be right in the world. Ride the hot hand!

[Grapple Raven]

Nice first name for a referee in football, lol.   Clete Blakeman? Really???  Lord he called that mess in that November Pats/Panthers game.  Oh boy. lol

From memory he called our game against the Lions and led WalterFootball to implement the "Clete Blakeman rule", which basically says the league rigs certain primetime games.

Agreed, until we start losing. You always back the trend until it's no longer a trend.

[Minionhunter]

Thank You for the pool pic! 

 

Mosley looks like a ghost. Hopefully he will scare the life away from the Bengals this week and deliver us a win. 

 

Just FYI this ESPN article from the Bengals blogger himself suggests that they are also fighting history. Teams with a tie on their record have an average wins total of 7.2 games since 1978.

 

http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/12303/bengals-ties-history-overtime-end-of-season-record

 

This means the panthers and Bengals will both likely struggle this season and Steve Smith Sr may get his wish for them both to loose. 

 

They are wearing black this week to try to improve their winning chances but they are not nearly what the ravens are when they wear all black. The Bengals are only around 60% when they wear all black. The Ravens are in the 80's if I'm not mistaken. 

 

I am cautiously optimistic about this game. 

 

I pray for no injuries on either side. 

[FerrariFan87]

Is that Tucker in shades?? Hilarious!

 

Go Ravens!

[codizzle]

Missed the last two games...

I'm prolly gonna have to go on 4 hours of sleep over 2+ days but I'm not missing this game..

Win this and we have a clear wide open path to a division title

[Rav'n Maniac]

I like your pool pics 1/28. They remind me of the "hidden objects" game I play on the bar screen at my favorite watering hole.

[ludy51]

Its weird seeing this matchup get so much attention.

[allblackraven]

Agreed, until we start losing. You always back the trend until it's no longer a trend.

To continue current trend, pic is in need of edit and inclusion of a land shark.

Just sayin'...

[RavensPunkXVX]

I'll be at this game. Hopefully there is a sea of purple. Tickets were SUPER cheap.

[K-Dog]

I have my extra strength blood pressure medicine all ready for the game tomorrow.

I have a hunch I am gonna need it.

These last two games have been so peaceful and soothing.  Seems like for the next two weeks we're gonna go back to heart pounding anxiety! 

[Inqui]

It's looking like AJ Green won't suit up and is even likely to be questionable for the Jags game next week. Just gotta put Jimmy on Mohammed Sanu and have one guy spying Gio on every snap (between Mosley, Daryl, Upshaw, Hill, Brooks and Elam I think we can limit him well enough). I think with the tape we have and others have picked up for us since week one, we'll be fine at shutting down Dalton's weapons and I still don't think he can carry them on his own. And if Greg Little's on the field, we can basically play 11 v 10. All that changes if Green plays, but not by a lot. 

 

Offensively, this is the same side that leaked 37 to the RB-less Panthers and made Trent Richardson look like a non-bust. Likely having KO back is huge, and Forsett's going to have a big day. I also think our receivers stack up well against their secondary, and Joe/Kubiak have shown a willingness to spread it around and keep the defence on their toes. I think that continues.

 

I've had a nervous week, but I'm actually feeling really confident now. I'm going with a two-score win - something in the realms of 31-20 and a comfortable lead in the AFCN.

 

I love how we'd double their win tally if we win here.

[Rav'n Maniac]

Heading to my best friends for a Ravens party today. There will be about 20 people there. Good company, great food, Yeungling & Landshark on tap and buttery nipple shooters after each Ravens score. Gotta get a win today!!! Here's to a fast start and dominating performance.

[757RavensFan]

This doesn't confirm it but it looks like AJ is out today. #GoRavens

[ZED]

It's official. A.J. Green is out today.   

[The Mom Gene]

Yes A.J is out....  We need the 7 headed front.... To bury the red rifle.  I want 5 more sacks...
