I was reading through the old posts of my blog, as I do every hour of every day, and paused from uncontrollable laughter to realize in the end of my angry rant against Brian Billick and the Baltimore Ravens I predicted the Ravens to go 9-7.
You could say I was completely wrong, but I'm going to go with half right on this one. The Ravens were coming off a year where they were the #1 seed in the AFC, they had just acquired Willis McGahee, and they were certainly expected to make the playoffs before this season began.
I realized in the horrific ending to that Ravens-Bengals game that the Ravens were actually horrible (in week 1!), and my 9-7 prediction definitely kept them out of the playoffs, as no 9-7 team in the AFC would ever make it (unless that team leads the AFC West).
The two things that I did not account for were
1) That the Bengals were actually horrible too.
and
2) The the Ravens were really, really horrible.
If the Patriots lose at Baltimore this Monday night, you can all blame me.
