I just need to wish and pray for a miracle. The Ravens have not been more than a 7 point underdog in any game since 2007 so the timing for running into the Patriots is not great. They have one of the top 5 quarterbacks to ever play the game, two seemingly unstoppable tight ends that no team this year has figured out how to cover, a crazy dangerous slot receiver, a defense that does give up yards but also has a knack for making big plays when they need it, and possibly most importantly by far the best coach in the NFL. Needless to say with one of the worst offensive coordinators, a very mediocre quarterback, and superstars on the downside of their career I am not exactly brimming with confidence. The only thing I really see on our side is that I know we are a tougher football team. The Ravens play smash mouth, old school football and hopefully the old adage that defense wins championships continues to hold true in this era where all of the rules are in favor of the offense.

Also I would like to just say REST IN PEACE to "Joe Pa" Joe Paterno. This morning I have been listening to a lot of his old players, fellow coaches, and people that he has impacted in his life talk about what a great coach but more importantly human being he was and it is truly amazing. I wish the best for his family and friends.



Salud!
