Comments on: An Easy Win For the Ravens in Tennessee? http://www.thelosscolumn.com/2009/an-easy-win-for-the-ravens-in-tennessee/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:27:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: random dude http://www.thelosscolumn.com/2009/an-easy-win-for-the-ravens-in-tennessee/comment-page-1/#comment-27010 random dude Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:33:29 +0000 http://www.thelosscolumn.com/?p=2346#comment-27010 <a href='#comment-27008' rel="nofollow">@Andrew in Rochester</a> - Your comment reminded me of a observation made by the ESPN AFC North blogger. This is from right after we beat the Jags to get to the playoffs. Here it is: The Baltimore Ravens are a confident bunch, but they're also a professional bunch. There was not a lot of celebration in the locker room following Sunday's 27-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars that clinched the wild-card berth. In fact, I was surprised with how little celebration there was. It was as though the Ravens expected to be in the playoffs all along and merely took care of business Sunday. It also shows the mindset that Baltimore feels there is more work to be done, starting with next week's playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. I don't think enough can be said about the effects Harbaugh has had on this team. Just unbelievable. @Andrew in Rochester – Your comment reminded me of a observation made by the ESPN AFC North blogger. This is from right after we beat the Jags to get to the playoffs. Here it is:

Ed Reed has a pick-six and he just walks back to the bench without the overly-amped up celebrations. I was thinking about that a lot this week, and how I think it shows the mentality the Ravens have: they want to go in and there and do their thing and get this done. It's a winning approach that will do them a load of good tomorrow and beyond, I think.

Maybe the Ravens pick isn't as trendy as we were all thinking. As PDiddy said, I think that having an inexperienced center is really going to hurt the titans picking up our different schemes. Especially if we can get to Collins early and rattle him. Get him thinking about that hit instead of looking for different packages on our defense. I hope someone puts him on his back REALLY early in the game just to tell him he won't be marching the ball 80 yards on us again. I have gotten 0 work done this week because of my excitement for this game. I might as well just take vacation time if they win and the Steelers win. I won't be able to sit still in my chair next week. Almost all of the ESPN guys picked the Titans. Maybe the Ravens pick isn’t as trendy as we were all thinking.

I just decided that if the Ravens lose tomorrow I'm hoping for a Cardinals-Chargers Super Bowl. Now THAT would be amazing. It’s all good Andrew.

But I'm looking around, and people are making their picks based on whose going to be more pumped up tomorrow. It's the playoffs. I assume both teams will show up pumped up. I have a tough time picturing the Ravens not bringing the intensity against a team that "beat" them earlier in the year. @sci – Ok, I didn’t mean you were that stupid.
