    Ravens State of the Union:



    These are definitely not the same old Ravens! The Ravens are off to one of the best starts in the NFL this year, and are making much of the media eat crow. Except for a weak secondary and inexperienced linebackers, this team has all the tools for making a serious drive for the playoffs.

    I wouldn't have gone out and predicted it before the season started; But now I'm thinking we can definitely make a run at the AFC Chmapionship. The only things holding our black birds down were the intangibles. Going into the season you had to wonder if this team had it within themselves to hold on to those 4th quarter leads, and keep from self-destructing. Would Vinny have enough poise to keep us in the game and lead our offense on a few 4th quarter comeback? Could the defense come up with a few 3rd down stuffs when needed?

    We've always known that this team had the talent. The question was, Did they have the mental toughness needed, and the will to win games. Last year's team had too many distracted players and people looking out for themselves. Now that we have rid our squad of these Cleveland left-overs this group is playing together, and with one goal in mind- Winning.
