Chances are the reason I gave in the post where I called you biased is the reason I called you biased.
I've also never understood "bitterness" over that meaningless 2007 game for Baltimore, but that's a different issue.
mingus's last 2 posts (as of 5 min ago) in the youth pastor thread are unquestionably the greatest posts in ST history

In other words, you got defensive about being called bitter even though you admitted you were bitter?
holy i just read them.
See, I don't remember it that way, but then again, I was quite young when that run happened. I could be wrong though. The only thing I can go back on is the Vegas lines, coverage of the games and what older poster said.
I didn't. The Ravens were favored at home against the Broncos just like they were against the Colts. Then they were dogs against the ans and Raiders just like they were against the Broncos and Patriots. Tennessee was considered the team to beat in the bracket, and Baltimore won a hotly contested game due to two big plays. Then, the Raiders were peaking but Baltimore took control pretty early.I assume you mean last season. Either way, do you know your own team? The 2012 Ravens were an average football team who looked average most of the season and limped their way into the playoffs. Most people wrote them off until Ray Lewis started quoting Bible scriptures and deer antler sprayed/roided/drank vials of Baker & Lollars blooded himself back onto the playing field. The 2000 Ravens started slow and reeled off 7 wins to end the season, and were in dominating form going into the playoffs.
I'm definitely not saying the teams were similar. But there are a lot of similarities between the runs of not just 2001 and 2013 but also 2009, although the Ravens did not get to the Super Bowl that season. Those runs contrast with 2007 and 2012, in which the Ravens were actually a pretty popular pick to make the Super Bowl but couldn't live up to expectations. The Ravens have always been better in the playoffs as an under-the-radar team.
We talked about that 2007 game. Rex Ryan getting that timeout call. I don't know what he was thinking. It was like the Butt Fumble and icing your own kicker at the same time.
Yeah I know but still I don't understand. It was a meaningless game and Baltimore's season was over by then.
I didn't get defensive about being called bitter. I took exception to getting my point dismissed because he assumed that I was too bitter to give an objective opinion. It wasn't like I was making a prediction or anything. I was stating what is a pretty reasonable opinion from looking at the numbers.

It's because the entire nation was bubbling over with Patriots hate, and there was one questionable call in the game, something that happens in every NFL game, but because it's the Patriots everyone threw up their hands screaming "the Patriots always win because of bull calls
That's why it was so horrible. It was like their Super Bowl. Players put it all out there that night and got it taken away because Rex being stupid and the refs letting him do so. That close to almost breaking that perfect record. I started rooting for somebody, anybody to beat the Pats that year. The players took it a lot worse, and if you recall, Suggs really started trash-talking every Ravens/Patriots game after that. The Ravens became a better team after that, and the scope of the series between the teams changed. So my feelings morphed from temporary bitterness to a long-term disdain for a rival. All the close games that have come since haven't cooled those fires, either.
Yeah I get that part, but Ravenfan at least claims to be butthurt about the fact Baltimore lost, not the fact New England won. That's the part I don't get.It's because the entire nation was bubbling over with Patriots hate, and there was one questionable call in the game, something that happens in every NFL game, but because it's the Patriots everyone threw up their hands screaming "
Yes. Not going to lie. That's it. Now, it's more like how normal Ravens fans feel about the Steelers.It's because the entire nation was bubbling over with Patriots hate, and there was one questionable call in the game, something that happens in every NFL game, but because it's the Patriots everyone threw up their hands screaming "
i specifically said 2012 playoffs dumb . i wasn't addressing your specific argument with chinook. i was just caling out your bull that "ouplaying somebody" is subjective. mind our own down reading comprehension. look at the comment i quoted. flacco clearly outplayed bardy in 2012 playoffs. but fine, if that doesn't apply, see 2011 playoff matchup. same . flacco still otuplayed brady in that one. not subjective there either
incredible retort, per par. i'll say it again so perhaps you can understand. I was specifically refuting your "point" that a player getting outplayed is purely subjective. idgaf if you and chinook were talking about 2011, 2012, or 1990. i brought up 2012 playoffs as my own example, one that should be fresh in your head. since you whined about that one saying "
