"We let them back in the football game. It was just a bizzare, bizarre ending." -- Mike Holmgren




    Week 12:
    Seattle 41 - Baltimore 44

    I'm with Holmgren -- this was a bizarre game. It was a sleeper through the first half. We did good to get three points on the board, let alone to score a touchdown. And then around the 2 minute mark at the end of the first half, things heated up and they didn't slow down till the game came to an end in overtime. We get our money's worth, eh, Seahawks fans?!?!

    NUTS!!!

    What a great game! Both teams fought to the end, and neither left anything on the field. I'm proud of the way our players fought the whole game, nothing to be ashamed of in a loss like this. I really believe our younger players grew up a lot in this game, and despite a heartbreaking type loss, showed that they will fight and play to the bitter end. I also believe that our young QB Hasselbeck showed that he has what it takes as a QB to take us where we want to go. Back at'em next week, with five games to go. It's a thrilling ride!! GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!

    We're not winning on the road.

    I thought we had that one.

    I thought as well. Apparently we are good at making subpar offenses look good. I am aware that M. Robinson just returned, and we significantly slowed their RB (earlier on), but we coughed up a huge lead.

    But I was glad to see that Springs followed the course and managed to get another pass interference call (as well as get burned BADLY by Robinson). Sigh...



    MOSES PREDICTS GAME ELEVEN!!!!!

    HAIL TO THEE, O SEAHAWK FANS!!!!! IT IS I, MOSES, HERE TO PREDICT THE SEAHAWK/ balti-less GAME!!!!!!

    LAST WEEK: The home cookin’ must have been HOT, because there was a lot of “Sprinkler” action happening on the field!!! WE ARE 7-3!!!!!!

    The Seahawks put the HAMMER down on the hapless Lions last week, cha-CHINGING up the scoreboard for 35 points in the first two quarters…

    BUT……..

    This week, they leave the nest to travel ALL THE WAY TO THE FAR EAST AGAIN to the land of Orioles and Ravens… A regular Birdland!

    ( ring…..ring…..Charlie Parker ??? Charlie Parker ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

    But THESE birds are far from flying…. They have struggled to a 5-5 record and are tied for first with… the BENGALS???

    What a CRAZY YEAR!!

    The Ravens are run by a supposed offensive “genius” in Brian Billick. A head coach that is such an offensive genius that their DEFENSE has become their trademark…

    Offensively, this team of birds is one lame duck. They rank 24th in the NFL, and they are DEAD LAST in passing offense… What in the name of Tony Banks is going ON?

    Maybe it’s not a coincidence that the Ravens call “M & T BANK Stadium” home, seeing as the end zone seems to be always “M & T” of Ravens!

    BUT……..

    That defense is STILL a wrecking crew, especially the ALL WORLD LINEBACKER Ray Lewis. Ray is a defensive machine that motor is stuck on DESTROY! Talk about your Flying “Purple People Eater”

    ( ring…..ring…..Sheb Wooley ??? Sheb Wooley ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

    Ray has more commercial deals than anyone I have ever seen. He is on TV more than Kelly Ripa….

    ( ring…..ring…..Regis Philbin ??? Regis Philbin ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

    ….not that I would…..um…know that for sure…..

    The Baltimore Ravens took their name of course from Baltimore being the burial place of American author extraordinaire Edgar Allan Poe.

    So, Let me see if I have this right. Art Modell took the Cleveland Browns away form Cleveland, moves them to Baltimore, and names his team after a drunk who marries his 12 year old first cousin and is found in a gutter, in a drunken stupor, and in someone else’s soiled clothes after being missing for several days?

    Hmmmmm…………………….
    If he wanted to name his team after someone like THAT, why didn’t he just call his team the “Baltimore RAIDER FANS???”

    ( ring…..ring…..Al Davis ??? Al Davis ??? Please pick up the white courtesy phone….)

    Seeing as the Ravens are so closely tied to Poe, it seems that if Poe were alive today, besides being VERY WEIRD and probably TOASTED OUT OF HIS INSANE MIND, he might have wanted to share a quote or two with the local press about this Raven football team. It is natural to wonder just what old Edgar would say about this team?

    Well, don’t worry your demented little minds about it. I am here to clear up any questions connecting Edgar Allan Poe and football!

    So, here from our office in THE RUE MORGUE comes……….. (drum roll)….

    “THE TOP THREE QUOTES FROM EDGAR ALLAN POE THAT BEST DESCRIBE THE 2003 BALTIMORE RAVEN FOOTBALL SEASON ”
    3. “I have great faith in fools; my friends call it self-confidence.” (Poe quote) A quote that fits Brian Billick pretty well!
    2. “ I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.” (Poe quote) Another quote for Brian Billick, or owner Art Modell , or any Raven fan this year!
    1. “Quoth the Raven, Nevermore” (from THE RAVEN) A quote regarding the chances of the Raven offense ever seeing the end zone again!

    THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR the crows
    1. RAY LEWIS: We can only hope that he hurts himself dancing out of the tunnel!
    2. JAMAL LEWIS: Probably going to see 11 men in the box!
    3. MATT STOVER: Once again, a KICKER carries the offensive load.

    THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR THE SEAHAWKS:
    1. RANDALL GODFREY: “I want to know what kind of cologne #31 wears!”
    2. MATT HASSELBECK: Needs to keep the Ravens on their heels.
    3. ITULA MILI: Needs to keep the Raven linebackers honest.

    SO, CAN THEY DO IT?????

    MOSES PREDICTS:
    SEAHAWKS 27
    Balti-LESS crows 12

    SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE!!!!!

    MOSES
