Okay, all you non football fans, you can stop reading. That might be 3 out of the 6 that read this. It is Superbowl Sunday and we are over the top in excitement!! It is kinda surreal...Baltimore has been in the national limelight for the last 2 weeks-in a positive light. How refreshing!! And now the day has come. I wanted to reflect on the Ravens top 5 reasons they got here this year. It's my only platform to chat football..
1. Ray Rice's 29 yard run for a first down.
SAN DIEGO -- Fourth-and-29 at their own 37, 1:37 left in regulation and trailing by three points. Ray runs to the right and makes first down. A win 16-13 after Tucker kicks a field goal.
2. Replacing Cam Cameron with Jim Caldwell. It was a December decision-very late in the season. Since the replacement, the offensive line has been on fire. Joe has thrown 8 touchdowns and no interceptions in the post season.
3. Bringing back McKinny. Bryant McKinny has been out most of the season. Rumor was he wasn't getting along with harbaugh and he had gotten a bit out of shape. In any case, Caldwell put him in and moved Oher back to the left side of the offensive line. Result was magic...great protection for Flacco in the pocket.
4, Ray Lewis announced his retirement. And boy, he timed it well. We were about to go into the postseason and the team has been playing with heart and soul to send Ray out in style. He contimues to be a force with this team.
5. Jacoby's 70 yard catch in the Denver game. We were not supposed to win that post season division game. Peyton is like 7-0 against Baltimore. It was on the road. The temps were -3 degrees. There is 30 seconds left in the game and We are on our own 27 yard line. It is 3rd and 3. Joe launched a long one-Jacoby catches it...a touchdown and ties the game. Tucker kicks a field goal to win the game.
Yeah...its been a great season!! Onto baseball!!!!
