Raven's Come Home for the Playoffs

Jasmine Moore

This weekend brings in the Divisional Match-up Weekend
in the NFL Postseason with the Saints at 49ers and Broncos at
Patriots on Saturday and on Sunday Texans at Ravens and Giants at
Packers. On Sunday the Ravens will host their first home playoff game
since 2006. The players and coaches are excited but not as excited as
the fans here in Baltimore. In Baltimore along the grass of City Hall
and Federal Hill are spray painted Ravens Heads to show the support
for the team. All over the city there has been spray painted stencils
on the ground of the Ravens head and the Ravens phrase of the season
RELENTLESS. Just about every car that passes has the Relentless sticker
on the back or Ravens flags flying from the windows. The fans are not
going to go easy on the Texans either, they will have a hard time
hearing any plays being called on Sunday with the amount of noise that
will be generating throughout M & T Bank Stadium with fans going wild
in support of the home team. Everyone here is overjoyed and determined
to kick some Texan butt this weekend. The fans are not worried about
the other games going on around the NFL this weekend because the goal
here is to take care of the Texans and then worry about whoever we
have to play in the AFC Championship game. Real Ravens fan have faith
in their team O-Line, D-Line, Special Teams and of course no doubt in
QB Joe Flacco, who has taken the Ravens to the play-offs for 4 years
straight since the start of his rookie year. Many critics overlook Joe
Flacco and find the smallest things to say about him but the fact
still remains that he is a damn good QB as he has already stated in
the beginning of the 2011 season. The goal here is Indianapolis and
as LB Ray Lewis would say the Texans are in our way! Fan who have been
here since the drafting of Lewis and Ogden to watching J. Smith and T.
Smith being drafted are waiting for another ring, another celebration,
another parade and another Lombardi trophy in the Baltimore Ravens
Trophy case.
