It's just my opinion, but...

Print...the Ravens victory over the Cleveland Browns was as much a victory for our offense as any game has been over the past few years- at least!
...the Browns certainly helped us with their inept defense when it counted and poor playcalling when they tried to get the running game going after they had us on the ropes with their passing game.
...their second half meltdown for the second game in four days, this time against the Broncos, was extremely similar to the Ravens win.
...it certainly proves that the Browns are just a bad team this year, regardless of whomever lines up under center.
...the Browns would have lost even if Derek Anderson was the starter, as it's the defense that is the problem, not the offense.
...I agree with the national media who seem to think Romeo Crennel was influenced by the fans to start Quinn, when Anderson played good enough to win, with the one huge mistake that T-Sizzle returned for six.
...they all seem to forget that if Braylon Edwards had caught that long, perfect throw from Anderson, the Browns probably would have put that game away.
...I had a huge smile on my face as the Broncos drove in for that winning score last night, imagining how pissed off the Browns fans were feeling.
...I'm guessing they still think they're better than the Broncos, they lost the game instead of giving Denver any credit, just like they did for the Ravens game.
...did I say I'm loving life watching the hated Browns sink deeper into nothingness?
...if the Ravens lose Sunday to the Texans, I may know how the Browns fans feel.
...if the Ravens can win Sunday at Houston, lose at the Giants but come back to Baltimore to defeat the Eagles, we'll be sitting at 7-4, which will be in serious playoff territory.
...after that, our last five games include home contests vs. Washington, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville and road games at Cincinnati and Dallas.
...we can definitely hold our own at home and split on the road at the least, which would give us a regular season record of 11-5, which would be an incredible turnaround.
...11-5 might actually win the AFC North, as the Steelers still have some tough games, including this weekend's game vs. Indy, although at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, which I expect them to win.
...if the Steelers somehow hang on to win the division, then 11-5 should get us a Wild Card spot, which would still be a huge accomplishment for a team with a rookie QB.
...it will be great to see us in the hunt and refreshing after last years 5-11 embarassing season.
...playing games that actually mean something makes a huge difference every Sunday, and doing the same in December will be even more exciting.
...can't say the same thing for the Browns' fans! Ouch, that was mean.

I don't want to look too far ahead...
…but I think that we can beat the Giants. They are a good match-up for us. They have been winning games by leading the league in rushing. I think that it’s pretty safe to say that the Ravens can stop the run. I still don’t think that Eli Manning has proved that he can single-handedly beat teams like his brother.
Their defense is good, but I think that our mammoth O-line may be able to push them around. If Flacco can continue to limit turn-overs, the Giants game may be the Raven’s coming-out party.
That's a tough one to gauge
The Giants might have the best offensive AND defensive lines in the game right now. To me, that’s where the games are won or lost and why they have a 7-1 record and might be the best team in the league. Going there and winning will be a huge task that I don’t see even a Ravens team on a possible 4 game winning streak pulling off. However, this will be the best defense that the Giants have faced, so it IS a possibility.

Us and the Steelers..That's all we have to worry about.
We are one more hit on Rotberger away from winning the division. I will watch every tackle on a Steeler with playoff intensity. Every RB that puts a shoulder into Polimatatootoo will get a standing O in my living room. Us and them round 9. Ding!
If indeed, Big Ben, makes it until then!
The way he’s listing to the right, we may see a fresh Byron Leftwich then as well as a lot sooner if his o-line doesn’t protect him better. Even though they are still in the playoff hunt and have the tie-breaker over us, I still say this weekend, GO INDY!"
