It'll be hard to match last year's success regardless of how much the roster has improved, given how far the team had made it. After all, it's not every year that a team goes to a conference championship game.

So, if anything, any less than the AFC Title game again will technically be a "failure" -- therefore stacking the odds against the Ravens again. But...that's not necessarily a bad thing. That just gives the team some unfinished business to take care of.

"There is nothing more dissapointing there where we are right now. Nothing will make us stronger than where we are right now......We will be right back here next year, we are going to win a championship. And we're not going to stop at one. We are going to be a dynasty. Does everyone understand that? Does everybody in here understand that?"- John Harbaugh in the locker room after losing to the Steelers in the AFCCG.

I sure hope so, but it's really difficult to win year after year. I will say that is much easier with a franchise QB at the helm. I mean some teams make it every couple of years, but the teams that are in it every year have QB's. Eagles, Giants, Pats, Colts, Steelers. I think we have a much better chance at doing what Harbs said now that we have Flacco.

You act like roughly 15 minutes is a short amount of time for a show that runs maybe an hour or an hour-and-a-half long with commercials...lol. Better than ESPN's NFL Live who'll maybe devote only 2 minutes (if that) to any team that isn't the Cowboys/Steelers/Giants/insert-your-headline-grabbing-team-here.

I'm just happy to even see an entire segment devoted to the Ravens, period, instead of just a brief news piece or blurb. In all seriousness, if you ever get around to dealing with production of any broadcast media, you'll understand how precious time can be on a show of any sort.

Hopefully I see a positive state of the Ravens, which it should be.

The only down side they could talk about always has an equal or better up-side.

For example:
We lost Scott--But we kept Ray
We lost Rex Ryan--But we hired Greg Mattison (who coached for Ray)
We lost Jason Brown--But we got Matt Birk

C-Mac is let go but in comes Foxworth and Carr.

They're gonna be all, "Flacco really had a great run last year, but he needs to prove he can come to his own by not relying on the running game and that defense." Guarenteed. At least one "analyist" says that lol. Like it's his fault we have a good ground game and defense...[/quote]

They are definitely going to comment on that and it doesn't bother me because he and the recievers really were the key to why we lost the AFC Championship game. And in the Dolphins game he went like 9-27 or something like that. That being said he was a rookie and didn't have a full camp at the starting position.
