It was by Far one of the most amazing games I've ever seen in my life. Everything was on the line... The end of an illustrious career, the pride of a city, putting silence to the voices of those around the nation that said the Baltimore Ravens couldn't do it. Honestly it was the first time I was actually able to just relax and watch a game, but a game like that Relaxation is out the equation.The Game went into 2nd overtime but at the end of the day The Ravens won!!! 38-35. Taking us to the AFC championship next week.But as I said before there was a lot on the line. The whole time I watched, I kept out of my mind that this could be Ray's last game. There was no way in the world that I wanted to believe this was going to be Ray Lewis my childhood and teenage, and heck my adult idol. A man who has inspired me to push beyond the limits, a man who has influenced an entire city, and a team to be better than they could be. Ray Lewis is what the Ravens stand for. And in his cyborg like battle-gear he played like a Beast. The whole team did amazing for the most part.

The game went back and forth. A chess match between one of the greatest defenders in history, and one of the greatest offensive minds in history. But with help from multiple Flacco to Smith Touchdowns and an amazing defensive effort the ravens pulled off the victory.
It's funny all week you've been hearing The Ravens don't have what it takes to take down Denver at home. Well 2 hours removed from the game and they did it. Now they can enjoy that nice satisfying victory flight back to Baltimore.
But...
There's Next Week. The Baltimore Ravens either play The Texans who stomped them out earlier this season, or it'll be The New England Patriots in a diabolical rematch of last years AFC championship game. I'm banking on a Patriots rematch. It would mean more to Baltimore and Ray Lewis to take on Tom Brady who is probably without a doubt the best QB in the game, to get to the Superbowl.
Next week is to play for the chance to get to the big dance. By all means it's going to be an amazing game regardless who the Ravens play.
So I was having an argument with the one of those naysayers at work earlier today, and he was just going on and on about how the Ravens don't have what it takes and how they wont get past Denver, and I was just saying how much of an impact Ray Lewis has on that team when he steps on the field in full pads. And now apparently as a Futuristic Cyborg he still commands that same tenacity and determination that we've all come to expect from the Ravens. Said co-worker is a Cowboys fan. Because you know they have all the room to talk. (sarcasm).
All in all for the City of Baltimore, this state, and fans across the country enjoy the moment, enjoy this week, because whoever we play next week is going to bring it. they're going to bring hell fire and brimstone before we can get to New Orleans. but we got that same fire, and we're ready to give it right back... I say BRING IT!!!!It would be nice to see this one last time...
