As improbable as it may have seemed just a few weeks ago, or historically for that matter, the 8-6 Ravens will travel to Pittsburgh this week and face the 7-7 Steelers, with both teams holding onto different levels of playoff hopes. In fact, as week 16 approaches, it seems there are only 4 teams in ... Read More »

Thursday’s debacle by the Steelers in Cleveland should serve as both an encouragement and a lesson for the Ravens. Although Ravens and playoffs may be tough for conservative fans to digest just yet, a playoff game against the Lions is about as ridiculous as you can get.

Maybe the biggest lesson that we can take away from last week’s memorable 3 game series with the Red Sox, is that the O’s just don’t possess that same championship swagger and resilience that we saw on display from the Red Sox last week.
