Just after I thought it couldn't get any worse, Sunday happened. Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals pretty much ended Ravens playoff hopes for the 2007 season. We are now 4-5 and are 0-4 in the division.
I arrived at the game around noon for the 4:15 kickoff, and I could definitely feel a sense of pessimism in the air, especially during the tailgate. Fans seemed to be fed up with team, and they have every right in the word to be after Monday's performance.
Thousands of Ravens fanatics, including myself, bleed purple and black for this team. I know it's just a game, but the Ravens are one of most important things in my life next to family and friends. I understand teams cannot win every game, but when I have to witness the inexcusable play of Steve McNair and horrible coaching of Brian Billick it takes a toll on me. Something needs to be done and it has to be done fast. This team means way too much to too many people for this to continue. Its Kyle's team now.

Monday Night Meltdown
From the beginning introductions of the Monday Nighter against the hated rival Pittsburgh Steelers the Ravens were doomed. That city got to see their all-time greats commemorated for their 75 years of existence. The Ravens have always been a horrible team on primetime, but this was a joke.
I have never seen a game as pathetic as the one I saw on Monday night. I was completely surrounded by Ravens fans at Padonia Station. The place was electric. Everyone was so excited for the game. I was so nervous for the game that I couldn't stop shaking from 4:30 until kickoff. I almost made myself sick, but nothing made me feel worse than the performance we got out of our offense on Monday night.
Steve McNair looks washed up, our key players are still injured, our coach looks like he is on his way out, and we are sitting at 4-4 (3rd in the AFC North) with one of the hardest schedules in the NFL still to play. But I am a Ravens Fanatic. Like Ray Lewis said after the game, " they all still have to come to our house, we're just getting started."
