EPIC SUCK: RAVENS MISS EASY CATCH, FIELD GOAL, AND TRIP TO SUPER BOWL

Still reeling from their early exit from the NFL playoffs, Steeler Nation got to enjoy a Roman holiday of their own today when the Baltimore Haters dropped a pass, missed a field goal and lost the AFC Championship game to the New England Cheatriots, 23-20.


Trailing 20-23 with 1:44 left in the game, Joe Flacco took his eyebrow, his fu-manchu mustache and the Ravens offense from their own 21 yard line down to the Patriots 14.  On second down from the 14 yard line with 27 seconds to go, Flacco threw a perfect pass to Lee Evans in end zone that would have won the game for Baltimore.  The toss went right between Lee's numerals and right in his hands, before a Patriots defender gently tapped it away.  And if that wasn't bad enough, Billy-won't-be-a-hero Cundiff then whiffed on a chip-shot 32 yard field goal attempt with 11 seconds to go that would have tied the game and sent it to overtime.

Wow.  What a blow for the Haters (no pun intended).  Last year the Ravens blew a 21-7 lead at halftime lead in Pittsburgh to get bumped out of the post season by the hated Steelers, 31-24, and now, there is this.  In their only other AFC Championship game appearance (in 2009) the Ravens lost to Pittsburgh 23-14 when Troy Polamalu picked off Flacco and ran into the end zone for a touchdown with 4 minutes to go.


What will the Haters boo-hoo about now?  Before this year it was "Flacco never gets a home playoff game" or "we always run into the Steelers" (sniff, sniff).  Well, they had a home playoff game, and didn't have to play the Steelers.  Flacco even cut his unibrow in half for the occasion and transplanted it under his nose for a fu-manchu mustache.

In sum, hahahahahahahahahaha!


Now, the bad news for Steeler Nation . . . the Cheatriots will have a chance at 4th Super Bowl championship, which would allow Tom Brady to tie Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana as the only QB's with 4 Super Bowls, and worse yet, Bill Billicheat would tie Chuck Noll as the only coach to win four.
