Official Ravens Week

[pbmax]

Also a reminder that one of my favorite Packer wins was against the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens in 2001, 31-23.

Elvin Grbac was their new QB and this was widely seen as shoring up the only major weakness the Ravens had. Randall Cunningham was on that team too.

Freeman had a TD and nine catches in his "find hole in zone" career era. Bubba Franks had 3 targets, 2 catches and 2 TDs in his block, fall down, standup, catch TD pass stage of his career. I am not kidding, that was the play call, and it was the most effective red zone play call for about 4 years.

Ahmad Green had the most effective 20 carry, 54 yard performance ever. Favre had a passer rating of 137 against one of the best Ds in the League. The Packers consistently passed on their base defense and ran when the Ravens put their pass rushers in the game for the fat boys, Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa. That defense was loaded.

I think that was a signature win in the Mike Sherman era, correct?

I think it's funny to watch us as Packer fans overreact one way, then another. On Sunday morning we - myself included - were debating the merits of firing Capers, of tanking to get a better pick, of cleaning house altogether. By Monday morning, we were calculating the Packers' playoff chances - this year.

I am going to try to view this season through the lens of narrative - what will the story be this year, besides Rodgers's injury? I will be curious to see if and how Hundley develops as he plays more, which players step up, whether the defense can stop a decent passing game at all, and so on. Should be interesting, especially regarding Hundley's development and the development of the rest of this year's rookie crop.

I also think that the Damarious Randall story is interesting - he's actually playing pretty well these days.

If only they could rush the passer.

I don't expect much, but will follow with interest and, I hope, less frustration and anger than I felt after the Lions game.

You're taking all the fun out of it! I will continue to judge this team on whether or not it wins the Super Bowl! grrrrrrrr

I'm still on the tank and fire Capers bandwagon. I am hoping TT pulls a sherman, but doesn't piss on himself. Hundly improves, we package him with our 1st at about 15 and move up to pick 7 and get a big time pass rusher.

Whenever I see the word "package" I assume the trade proposal is gonna be a doozy. (I have no idea what Hundley's value could be.)

i'm guessing we're gonna bring back a-rod, he's gonna win out, and we're still gonna miss the playoffs meaning we'll be picking in the 20's

and unless hundley improves A LOT, we aren't getting much for him. maybe a 3rd rounder if we're lucky

I have just got to turn off auto correct and live with the normal typos. Stunned it left Grbac spelled that way.
