The Birds got a big win against the Broncos on Sunday and everything is back to normal. Quick note: Frank Walker was on the bench. Coincidence? I think not. (See my Week 6 Blog for further details).

The offense looked great. Joe Flacco was nearly flawless and Ray Rice is proving to be unstoppable. The D got back to what it does, limiting the Broncos to 200 total yards. And the special teams finally showed up. Steven Hauschka got back in his groove and a big congrats to Lardarius Webb for his 95-yard kick return for a TD. The Ravens were hitting on all cylinders.

Throughout the bye week, I heard a lot of the media say that the Ravens were only three plays away from being 6-0 and that the Broncos were soft. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. I’m only three payments away from being six months behind on my credit cards or else I’d have good credit. And my grandmother is soft. Soft as they come. But she can still bring the wood. Has moves like Jimmy Snuka.


We’re 4-3. The good news is that we know the Ravens are capable of beating anyone in the league. The only way to prove it? Buckle down, get after it and make the playoffs.

It starts next week with a huge division game against the Bengals. See ya in Cincy.
