I'm proud of our guys

[Mad Max]

We all expected a Ravens blowout and they barely beat us.

Fitz played off his head. All of our WRs showed up. The OL played very well. A Spiller sighting was made. Gailey called a good(if not perfect) game.

We had the usual slew of calls against us.

We're on the right track.

They still lost.

And "the usual slew of calls against us." is not what the loss was all about

No that is exactly what the loss was about. That interception in the endzone that was not called an interception changed the game.

So you expected a win?

No.

But wins get credit and praise. Losses do not.

I'm going to go ahead and be proud of this performance. At this point in my fanhood I know wins are going to be scarce so illl take solace where I can find it.

Re: I'm proud of our guys

sorry, but this was the funnest Bills game i've watched in a long while. Still disappointing, but before where I saw no hope, I at least saw flickers of hope today. Fitzpatrick played great, Evans made great catches, dropped a catchable pass at a horrible time, the o-line as a whole played ok, tho I give more credit to Fitz for getting the ball out quick. Thought Jackson played very well, getting tough yards. Spiller is a rookie and made a rookie mistake. Gailey looked excited on the sidelines, and called a great game, overall, great game against one of the best teams in the league.

Re: I'm proud of our guys

i said at the beginning of the season, i said that i'd be ok with a bad season as long as it was entertaining. Today was entertaining. i knew at 24-10 that we weren't going to win, but it was just fun to know we had harbaugh by the short and curly's. he looked so confused.

we're a bad team that gave a good team a heart attack. the ravens still can't be happy that they needed overtime. this season is what it is. if we have to watch 10 more games like that and lose them all, versus watching games like the jets where not a single thing goes our way, i'd take 10 of these ravens games.

I'm so sick of giving this credit for effort and "almosts." I refuse to give credit for anything other than results.

Being proud after a loss is a bi-product of a decade of losing. Saints, Patriots, Colts or Steelers fans would never say something like this.

The fact that we have some talent on this team after all is something to be encouraged by. Winning is not the main goal this season, it is development and internal competition.

Proud is probably the wrong word, but I think we should at least be encouraged by our performance yesterday.

It appears that our young OTs are developing, along with Johnson and Nelson at WR. Thus, we don't appear to have the critical needs on the O-line and at WR that we thought earlier in the season. Shawn Nelson may be the answer at TE as well.

At least we seem to have fewer holes, and can concentrate on QB and the defense - primarily DL and LB - in building this team.

I can buy "encouraged."

Nelson needs to block better but he may be the answer as a receiving TE.
