THE NFL HAS AN IMAGE TO UPHOLD. SO DO I.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and the Consistent.  Where do I start with this Baltimore Ravens team?  Let’s get the Consistent out of the way now.  Frank Walker – penalty in the 1st quarter.  I gotta give it to you, Frank.  You are consistently terrible.  They say no one person can cost a team the playoffs.  Whoever said that never saw you play.  Why don’t you go work for the State?  You can hold the STOP/SLOW sign at road construction sites.  You seem to excel at holding things.

Frank Walker would make the Pro Bowl of holding

Let’s take care of the Ugly next.  Jamarcus Russell – you should be ashamed of your diamond earrings.  There are more dollars in your ears than Cambodia.  It’s absurd.  You should be fined 25% of their cost because you’ve done absolutely nothing to earn the money you used to pay for them…except help us get to the playoffs.  Thank you but I’m still adding you to my growing Dash of Downs list.

That diamond looks great on you in this economy

On to the Bad.  Hiram Eugene – Willis McGahee bitch-slapped you for six.  It wasn’t a stiff arm, it wasn’t a shove.  It was an old-school, Ike Turner bitch-slap for a touchdown.  You stood in the way of the playoffs Hiram and the Ravens were going to the playoffs.  It had to be you, Hiram.  It had to be you.

Accessorizing was always a strong point for Ike

Which leads me to the Good and right back to Willis McGahee.  I think McGahee’s a beast.  The dude has 14 touchdowns this year and had one called back last week against Pittsburgh.  He ran hard against Oakland and looked fresh.  He has all the touchdowns and none of the beating which is nice to see after he ended last season on a stretcher.  I’d love for him stay in Baltimore but I think he’s gonna get a bigger payday somewhere else.  Maybe New England.  Todd Heap – great catch.  Caught it, lost it and caught it again.  Falling backwards.  Great concentration.  Cam Cameron – loved the play calling out of our endzone.  Flacco to Heap and McGahee to the endzone.  Two plays, 95 yards.  The Ravens are back in the playoffs.  A new season begins.

Next up, the Patriots.  Welker’s gone and Brady’s beat up.  Do what you gotta do Tom just don’t throw it anywhere near #41.

11 penalties for 113 yards, two touchdowns called back and Derrick Mason dropped an easy one in the endzone. The Ravens cost themselves 21 points, the game and possibly the playoffs. Keep this in mind – the Steelers rushed for a total of 48 yards. The Ravens’ penalties more than doubled that. You’re welcome Pittsburgh.
The Ravens are by far the most undisciplined team in the league and it’s always the same guys committing the same dumb penalties. Frank Walker waited until the last play to get flagged or we might have been able to score again. Frank Walker isn’t the only guy to blame in this game (see Suggs, Washington and Mason) but week after week I write about Walker doing something stupid. Why is he still on the team? We could play better with 10 guys. Frank Walker reminds me of a former undisciplined Baltimore athlete – Alan Wiggins. Remember when Alan played for the Baltimore Orioles? Alan Wiggins was so undisciplined that he was picked off with the “hidden ball trick” – twice in the same season!

Cocaine makes me focus. RIP, Alan.

John Harbaugh needs to quit preaching about “Mighty Men”. How about disciplined men? How about guys that don’t block in the back or hold or take cheap shots out of bounds that cost the team points, games and possibly the playoffs? The truth is the Ravens are a good team but the difference between good and great is leadership, focus and discipline and the Ravens have none of it. They better get it together or their season is over on Sunday.

Next up, the Raiders. They say if we win, we’re in but it won’t be easy. Here we go again…again.
