Congrats From Baltimore Beatdown

by Bruce Raffel on Oct 18, 2009 7:11 PM CDT

To the Vikings and your fans at DN, we Ravens fans salute you fo ryour victory today. You showed us a complete team for three quarters which was still enough to win. Had we played the first three quarters like we did the outcome might have been different, but it was not to be. In fact, if our kicker had the stomach to handle the pressure, it might be using consoling you guys. But,...coulda, shoulda, woulda, doesn't mean anything here.

Good luck to you guys and as much as I rooted against you today, help a brother out and do the same thing to Pittsburgh next week. Take care.

It does make a huge difference

I’d like to see Pittsburgh in your house. Playing at Heinz Field is really tough. Good luck. We’ll be rooting for you!

Thanks man. And do us a favor and put the “beatdown” onto the Bears, Packers, and Lions.

Thanks, Bruce

Your fans are class, and so is Baltimore Beatdown.

And if you wouldn’t mind pimp-slapping the Bears and Packers for us when you get a chance, we’d appreciate it.

I piss people off on a fairly regular basis. I cherish my right to speak my mind, whether I sound like an uneducated savage or not. I've never been accused of keeping what I think a secret, nor will I ever. Don't like it? I don't care.

Best fans we've run into so far.

You guys are passionate, knowledgeable, and respectful. Hell of a way to lose a game after the furious comeback the Ravens made, but of course I can’t complain. We’ll do our best to put a hurtin’ on the Steelers next week.

till the middle of the 3rd

I was wondering what the big deal was with Rice and thinking how all the “experts” blew this one by calling for a close game. I’m still not sure what happened after that.

We seem to be a 3 quarter team. And losing Winflield hurt.

Class act.

Very much so.

You guys have a good team and will get past your current stretch, and as Ray Lewis says, you play football the way it was meant to be played.

By the way, I’ve been checking in on your blog and I want you to know that this is one non-Ravens fan who nonetheless very clearly remembers what happened with Irsay and the Colts and considers it one of the most shameful episodes in sports history (only the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn really competes).

Would feel honored if we have the chance to meet you again in February.

So who has the best "OLD" qb than?

As The Play Snaps, One Dream, One Team, One Head Coach will be on top! Will It Be The Vikings?

How, a Tavares that can actually play football?

Imagine that.

(Yes, I’m aware our Tarvaris spells it differently, but just play along for the joke’s sake.)
