Diplomatic Immunity

What a season, Ravens Nation!! We exceeded expectations even though i predicted 10-6 in the beginning of the season, the pundits had us 8-8 or 7-9.
Hell Naw!!! We played Ravens football & rose up to the challenge against some of the best QB’s in the league. We only allowed more than 26 points 3 times & this Defense even had an 11 sack game against Tennesee! They also finished #1 in the league. We even switched QB’s in Week 10 & rode it all the way to the Playoffs for the first time in 3 years & won the Division for the first time in 6 years! We got to host a Playoff game! The young QB will only continue to grow & learn after a season under his belt & a Playoff game. He had problems in the Wild Card, but they did see us twice & we got exposed. That being said, our future is very bright! We still young & we also got the Draft! We back Ravens Nation!! It was a fun season & 2019 is gonna be even better!!
GO RAVENS!!

Woke up grinning from ear to ear. It’s been 3 long years & any Ravens fan will tell you how much these past 3 years hurt. The heartbreak, the letdown, the false hope, the pain…… all of that is gone now!! We back in the tournament & ready to make some noise!! We needed this feeling back Ravens Nation. I almost forgot what it felt like to play in January & now the feeling is coming back all too well. I didn’t post much last night because i spent the whole night partying & enjoying the win. Basking in this feeling & just taking it all in. I fell asleep happy & i woke up happy. It was a rollercoaster season & even more of a rollercoaster of emotion, especially how that game ended. Nobody said it was ever gonna be easy but we got the job done!! Ravens Nation!! WE’RE BACK!! WE’RE SCARY & WE’RE COMING FOR BLOOD!! Be excited about this team! Be proud! This team rose up when they were left for dead & now we are AFC North Champs!
