AFC Playoff's Ravens vs Titans
AFC Play-off's Raven vs Titans... What a game.
It was expected to be a good game from the start. I would have thought that Titans were favored to win.... and maybe they were. The pregame show had all 5 sportscasters picking the Ravens. Now that was a surprise. I'm sure the football gods of the NFL would liked to have seen the Ravens stopped long before now. It was a great game, and while it could be said without dispute that the Titans certainly shot themselves in the foot a time or two, or was that 5 or 6, the 
Ravens defense does have a way to make the offense seen to do just that... make mistakes. And now that we have a offense ourselves... it's nice to capitalize on those mistakes and win some games. The announcers were donning the Raven's as the team no one wants to play. Lots of good games and some one's got to win. Maybe its a little harder to loose to a team with a new head coach and a rookie quarterback. Speaking about the rookie....
How about Joe Flacco. I guess it was a good thing for Matt Ryan at Atlanta that the NFL purposely closed the book early and named Matt rookie of the year.... especially since the real rookie of the year has already won 2 post season playoff games and is still playing.... first rookie to ever do that.... as in never ever happened before.
The Football Gods must be angered for sure by now.... what a shame. The Titans are a good team, they simply walked into a bad day. Most teams feel that the Ravens are a bad day. So it's on to next week, and the Steelers. No matter who wins, it should be a brutal game... lots of hard hits, lots of infractions dare I say, and hopefully, there will not be any bad calls that always seem to go against the Ravens.
The last two games with the Steelers resulted in several wrong calls that went against the Ravens, even much to the surprise and controversy of the game announcers (via replay). I'm rather surprised that the NFL hasn't fined the announcers for questioning the calls via the replays...the announcers should not question the calls on the field... even if the multiple replays do support their position... never show the call to be wrong... the Gods don't like it when they are proven wrong! Sorry.... just a little scarasium. BUT it would be a real treat to watch a game where wrong calls did not come into question. and I'm sure, that if the worst should happen, that the Steelers would like to win a game without adding the stigma of cheating to their already questionable professional conduct. There is one out come that is for certain... the NFC teams are certainly counting on the Ravens and Steelers to beat each other up and make it easier for them in the Super Bowl.
