Man Up. Who Got It Wrong This Season?

41 posts in this topic

I thought Boller was going to have a monster season with the New Offense....I was wrong but Joe is AWESOME

I thought Clayton was a bust....Damn I am so happy to be wrong

I did believe we had potential for the playoffs so I was right about that.

As a Delaware alum and new Ravens fan, I created a Flacco fan group on Facebook mainly inviting classmates. At 2-3, I actually considered for a very brief half-second shutting down the group. FAIL! Now the group has 700 members (and growing) with more Facebook Flacco groups popping up left and right B)

I called an 8-8 season. I greatly underestimated the chemistry this team developed in a hurry which is a credit to the players and coaching staff. I knew Flacco would develop into a NFL starting QB, but he exceeded my expectations this year, as well as the young offensive line and receiving corps. Also, after last year, I thought the defense had lost a step. Lastly, I was not happy about one of the most difficult schedules in the NFL this season.

Boy am I glad I was wrong, 'cause this sure has been fun to watch this season!!! :D

I predicted 10-6. We just have too much talent and have essentially 4 guaranteed wins to start each year. I thought we would go 4-0 against the garbage teams in our division and go 6-6 against the rest of the league. I thought 6 seed, but I never thought we would be a serious threat to go to Tampa. Now I think we really are the team to beat without the Colts in there.

I made this on Flickr after Joe was drafted because he was rejected at Pitt, he endured a 5-6 first season as a starter at Delaware, lost the national title game, finished waaaaay down in the I-AA MVP award vote and was criticized left and right by experts who said he faced a lower level of competition, wasn't athletic enough, was too tall, was a statue in the pocket, was way inferior to big-school QBs, was a bust, a reach, a project, too raw for the pro level. But Joe prevailed ...

I was pleasantly surprised at Chris Chester, Leron McClain, and of course Joe Flacco. These guys were unbelieveable.
I was disappointed at CMac, Walker, Demetrius Williams, and McGahee. I could care less about Walker, but I hope the other three can bounce back.
I was biased when I had faith in my fellow Terp Gaither, but I knew he would be awesome!
