Typically after a loss, I get into the Five Stages of Grief as we heal and move on.
In the case of the Ravens Week 14 loss to the Browns… I just don’t feel that overwhelming anger or sadness or even… okay maybe a tinge of frustration. But not enough to feel like I need to go through those stages to get beyond the loss and carry on with my week.
Instead, I actually feel an odd sense of excitement.
Don’t get me wrong- the laundry list of injuries is growing faster than my kids’ Christmas lists over the past few months- but there shouldn’t be major cause for concern, and in fact, I’m at peace with what the Ravens are showing me.
