Ravens fans

When I lived in Baltimore I learned they are the most enthusiastic I have ever seen.

Example?

NFL record.......never has anybody kicked one that far.

Hell of a kick too............

Think about the future games. The Ravens can consider a kick from 66 yrds on every drive........

I doubt someone with only a half foot could kick soccer style. That was Tom, Jack was a fighter.

Odd tattoo, that FG had nothing to do with beating KC.

The guy with the tattoo? No shit……..

I have to tell ya. Baltimore Ravens fans were crazy when I lived there.

I worked at a hospital. On Friday-Sat-Sundays staff could wear purple clothes to show support for the team.

I saw surgeons in the operating rooms with all purple scrubs, masks and shoes. Ravens scrub hats were very popular. On Sunday every tv in the hospital would be on the game. It was actually quite fun to play along.

When that kicker Billy ? Something lost the playoff game…….oh lord I thought they were gonna have him drawn n quartered down on the harbor

I wonder if it would have been considered a 62 yard fg today? The ball was maybe a foot inside of 63 yds and I think that would be 62 yds officially the way it’s calculated now. Just a small nitpick and I could be wrong but I remember a 19 yd fg once that was closer to 20 than 19.

If we can have "About" 6.5 furlongs at Timonium, can't we have "About" xx yard FGs at M&T stadium?
