Anyone else love watching these mid to mid late 2000's games just because of that classic feel they have to them? The commentary and just the physical play?
I really miss the old AFC central division rivalries. Ravens/Titans have met in the playoffs 5 times, with the road team winning EVERY game. Ravens 3 Titans 2
I remember my dad was a season ticket holder when the team came back in 96. We went to every game. He died in 2020, and I haven't been to a game since or even sold my season tickets. I love the Ravens, but it makes me sad as sht that my dad won't be there on the 50-yard line, 6 rows back behind the Ravens bench with me. Just haven't had the heart yet.
Man, I love my ravens but I still can’t believe we won this game. Before CJ2k went down, they moved the ball at will, while we couldn’t pick up a first down to save our life. Turnovers will always be the most critical aspect of determining wins/losses in the NFL.
i love how the commentator said Hall held onto the football when ray hit him, but the ball literally went flying out of his hands as soon as he got hit lol
I remember watching this game with my father. I thot it was so brutal and violent. I didn't understand why he liked it. The next season I became a huge ravens fan. Who knew?
I love watching old Ravens games. Man, this was a physical, ugly, low-scoring game. These are my favorite types of games: physical, mean, nasty, defensive, and low-scoring.
God this game really upset me. I’ll always be a Titans fan. But this game, Tennessee really beat themselves. They literally beat the crap out of Baltimore that night, but the turnovers they committed proved detrimental.
jeff fisher took good teams to .500 records and had a tendency to run teams completely into the ground after a few years. he was not a good coach and this team just had a philosophy that worked and the talent to execute it.
Since the 1999 season when the Tennessee Titans became the Tennessee Titans, they are 1-4 vs the AFC North/Central in home playoffs games while also being 1-0 vs the rest of the AFC. The overall record of the Titans in home playoff games since 1999 is 2-4. In road playoff games, however, the Titans boast a record of 6-5.
2000s may have been a peak decade in football Modern enough where you have the full benefit of modern diet and exercise But old enough that it still has the rough strong mentality Bodies can be huge and muscular because it’s about strength more than the lean aerodynamic bodies of today
These teams played the two hardest hitting games I've ever seen. Love my ravens but respect to Tennessee... P.S. the ravens were built to match up with Tennessee back in the day as the titans were the dominant team in the old AFC Central
Whenever flacco had a decent OC he was excellent. Cam Cameron was awful, as soon as Cameron wss fired the Ravens won the super bowl in 2012...i honestly believe the ravens would have won a few rings were it not for Cam Cameron... In fact he did same thing at LSU.. they won national championship immediately after firing Cameron.
CBS coverage of this game was poor. Many close plays, especially catches near the sidelines, never had replays and the director never cut to Chris Johnson, who seemed to be okay after getting bent backward by Ed Reed but wasnt in the game the final 3:30 minutes of the first half. There never was an injury report and it wasnt until after halftime that the announcers proclaimed he had an ankle injury ... The announcers were fine, especially pointing out the non-called delay of game penalty that the Ravens got away with, but when Collins was trying to rally the Titans in the final minute, the director once again failed to show a replay on a non-catch by Gage that could have kept the drive alive. The Ravens won fair and square with bad turnovers from the Titans but for a divisional playoff game, CBS coverage was off the mark ...
This game was fishy to me. Johnson had an excellent first half ... I never saw him have an injury problem, after half time, he is on the bench ... WTF? McCareins is on the bench when the team needs him in the final minutes of the game and Collins butchers the clock. Why didnt he call a timeout after the first completion? Seconds tick away before he executes another play with what 23 seconds on the clock? Gage balls out but misses a pass that could have gotten them closer to range. With the turnovers, a missed chance to advance. Would Johnson had played the following week had they won?
That really was a bold decision to not go 9-7 this year. We'll have to see how that turns out. But then again, 11-5 was borderline equal to 9-7 in the 2020 AFC, so maybe it balances out.
Great low scoring defensive slugfest, like goddamn 40:29. Other than that dirty ass play by reed I never saw how CJ got injured but I think they probably could've pulled it off if he played the whole game. But they Just kept shooting themselves in the foot
That delay of game call that was missed pissed me off and was the thing that made me dislike the Ravens despite having been a Titans fan. I think they would've beaten the Steelers again if they'd won this game. At least the Titans got the win in this Divisional game.
Ravens got robbed all game by refs in 2003 playoff game vs titans.. it was an embarrassing display of partisanship by refs in that game.. one call don't make up for that ... not even close.
@@benjaminp1629 That’s what you got from that? That because it didn’t hurt as bad as BEING THERE IN PERSON, I’m not a fan? That’s a pretty double-digit IQ mushy brained assumption.
Starting @ 1:59:43 you can clearly see that play clock had ran down to zero. Should've been a delay of game and 3rd and 7. Complete BS non call by the refs.
Titans Defense was top 10 of all time. Robison, Vrabel you should take note. Ravens number 2 defense, broadcast crew didn't mention the number 1 defense.
In the meantime, former Titans, Rolle and Mason are beating them. McNair became a Raven as well. Mutual respect, admiration and hatred between the teams back then ...
Yes this was a great *physical* game. The kind--sadly from a fan perspective-you’ll never see again. However, Ed Reed’s tackle on Chris Johnson (that soon knocked Johnson out of the game) was *not* physical. It was just PLAIN DIRTY. I mean really!?! Trying to intentionally bend his spine backwards while he was held up by the tackle! Worse, the officials flagged the Titans for retaliation and left the Ravens untouched. Sorry. It should have been a flag on Baltimore and an ejection and fine for Reed. There is now--nor never was-a plane in football for *intentionally* trying to injure and opponent-especially in way that we’ll could have paralyzed Johnson, or at the very least, could have led to serious permanent back injury.

Reeeeed
I’m a year late to this but honestly I’ve been watching these type of games for this exact reason. It really does have a classic feel. I miss it.
I watch these all the time from beginning to end.
I started watching the NFL in 2005, so these games are bringing back a lot of memories.
This rivalry will never die.
I really miss the old AFC central division rivalries. Ravens/Titans have met in the playoffs 5 times, with the road team winning EVERY game. Ravens 3 Titans 2
I was at 3 of them including the 2020 game in Baltimore. Awesome game!
This is the second greatest game ever played, showed what playing like a raven truly means!
Been looking for this game for a while

Ray is a bad man lol

As Raymond Berry said once, it's closer to a chess match
I was there. Great day in Ravens history.
The 2008 Titans has to be up there as one of the biggest wtf number one seeds in recent memory.
What about the 2021 Titans
14-2 lol

Dude that deep ball when both titan players magically fell was fake ass fuck
Tennessee really controlled the game from start to finish, but one self inflicted mistake after another kept Baltimore alive.
Same for the 2000 matchup
Bart Scott and Ray were monsters in this game!
They meet once again in the playoffs.
People that say Jeff Fisher suck obviously don't know how hard it is to go 13-3 in the NFL.
jeff fisher took good teams to .500 records and had a tendency to run teams completely into the ground after a few years. he was not a good coach and this team just had a philosophy that worked and the talent to execute it.

The game turned on Chris Johnson's injury. Baltimore took over from there.

He was on the bench to start the second half.

And the ravens would've beaten them in week 7
