My face hurts from smiling so much.  What a statement-making win on the road in the evil empire Pittsburgh.  The Steelers had no answers for what the Ravens did to them last Sunday night.  We showed the football word that we are the biggest, baddest kid on the block.

I don’t know where to start.  Joe and the offense played almost flawless football. They started strong scoring 14 points in the first quarter. They ran the ball when we needed to made crucial first downs late in the game.  We controlled the ball over 12 minutes in the fourth quarter.  I could go on but I need to mention the defense and how they totally dominated Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense.  We let them hang around in the second quarter just to mess with them and keep it interesting.  In the second half the Steelers had to punt three straight times. They threw an interception to Anthony Levine, and had a failed fourth down attempt.  The defense should be well rested for this week since they only were on the field for eight minutes in the second half.  How do you beat the Steelers?  Keep Roethlisberger off the field and hold them to under twenty yards rushing.  That’s correct you read it we held them to only nineteen yards rushing.  Some will say we beat a Steeler team without Le’Veon Bell but I say he doesn’t play on defense and our offense could not be stopped by the Steelers.  A great win on the road!

The NFL season has turned the quarter pole heeding into week five.  This is a good time to look at how your team is doing.  The Ravens are 3-1 over all, 2-0 at home, 1-1 on the road I say that pretty good.  Since when we originally looked at the schedule we thought 2-2 would be where we would be with road game in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The win in Pittsburgh is going to turn out to be huge!  I like where we are four game into the season.

Another road game this week in Cleveland.  The Browns have won one game (I’m still mad that I missed the free beer mayham after the Thursday night game in week three. The national media is saying they should be 4-0-are you kidding me?!  The Ravens are only favored by 3 points-are you kidding me?! Did they see what we did to the Steelers?  Do they know we have the number two ranked defense and a top ten offense? Since the Browns can’t throw the ball they rely on running the ball and we love to stop the run.  Their defense has taken a slide this season and is ranked 25th-looks like Joe is going to have another good day on the road.

GO RAVENS!!!

My picks are who we want to win not who we think will win.  Last week, not too many of our picks came truebut the only one that truly counted was the RAVENS over the Steelers. Don’t bet on these games, just enjoy them.

Thursday 8:00

Colts over Patriots
The Patriots are 2-2 and “they” still have them going to the Super Bowl.

Sunday 1:00

RAVENS over Browns
The Browns feature a rookie QB Baker Mayfield and a rookie RB Nick Chubb to do all the heavy lifting on offense.  This will be only Mayfield’s second start and you know what the Ravens like to do to rookie quarterbacks, confuse and crush them.  Chubb has been making the highlight reel but he has not faced a quality run defense like the Ravens.  With the return Jimmy Smith and possibly Willie Henry, this would put our defense at almost full strength.  Imagine the possibilities.  Hayden Hurst should be in the offensive line up this week, just another weapon for Joe.  I need to give the O-line a shout out for the job they have done so far protecting Joe.  For being a little banged up and a so call rag tag group they look good to me and should have no problems with the pathetic Browns defense.  But one thing we can’t do is let our guard down and look past the Browns.  So look to the Ravens to stay full throttle and just run over the Browns.

GO RAVENS!!!

Bills over Titans
The Titans have the same record as we do and we play them next week.
