Why all the complaining?

With the talent on this team that game shouldn't have been close at all, dumb penalties or not.

People need to get a grip. A win is a win. Everybody wants to talk about the good old days, but you know what? We had just as many squeakers back in the Gibbs championship years.

In '87, for example, we beat the Cowboys twice, by a combined total of 10 points. That Dallas team finished 7-8. We beat the Jets by a point, and that team was dead last in their division at 6-9. We beat the Vikes by 3 and they finished one game over .500. The Giants were dead last in the division and one of our wins over them was by four points. We also lost 4 games, by 1, 4, 4, and 2 points, respectively.

It's cliche, but you know the line: any given Sunday. The Ravens found that out today. We didn't. Considering that we played better than GB did last week and still lost, I consider this week's game a much more favorable result.
