News and Personal Thoughts:
I had this done on Thursday, but forgot to post it, so I tweaked a few things before posting. DOH! Anyway, the GoogleDoc ticket sharing status: Still tickets available for people who want to sit in the freezing cold in the middle of December… er… I mean the Seattle and Pittsburgh games. Check it out at Ravens Roost 4 Ticket Exchange.
Ravens:
As the Ravens continue their record of now 10 straight games decided by 1 score (8 points) or less, the team needs to make a decision of rebuilding for next year or continuing their feeble attempt to regain respectability. Each win, pushes us further down the draft board, but is winning the best option right now? As messed up as the AFC is right now, the Ravens are 2 games behind KC for the 6th playoff spot, with 6 games left. But also keep in mind that Houston, Buffalo, the Jets, Oakland, Jacksonville, and Miami all sit between us the promised land. On the other side of the coin Cleveland, San Diego, Tennessee and now Dallas stand between us and the #1 pick. It starts this weekend. A win pushes Cleveland further into the basement, and us down the draft charts, while hopefully moving us up the playoff picture. A loss, on the other hand, commits us to the rebuilding plan. The other problem is that with so many guys on IR, half our team is fighting for 2016 roster spots. The teams need for a “future” QB will become evident now. Schaub and Clausen are not them.
