What's your take on the win against the Cardinals?

The Ravens gave us tricks and treats on Sunday afternoon. They turned the ball over twice in the first half, let Patrick Peterson take a punt return to the house and fell behind by 21 points. The fans at M&T Bank Stadium were festive, too, handing out some Halloween boos as the team sought shelter in the locker room at halftime.

But the Ravens offense bounced back in a big way thanks to some tweaks by embattled offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and the play of embattled quarterback Joe Flacco. Baltimore scored three touchdowns in a row in the second half and secured a 30-27 victory over the Arizona Cardinals with a field goal as time expired.

There are a couple of ways to look at the win, and you can make a pretty good argument either way.

My colleague Mike Preston offered up his opinion in Monday’s paper, saying that even though the Ravens’ comeback against the one-win Cardinals was exciting, John Harbaugh's team didn’t look like a championship-caliber team for the second time in six days.

I woke up feeling good, though, and I am willing to overlook the warts on Sunday’s win because the offense finally clicked in the second half as the team overcame a franchise-record 21-point deficit to get the win. It was not a flawless victory by any stretch, but it’s a plus that the Ravens are flying high into Steelers week No. 2.

So when you rolled out of bed on this Halloween morning, how did you feel about Sunday’s nail-biter? Are you dissatisfied with another incomplete performance against a bad team or was that second half enough to restore your confidence heading into what will likely be the Ravens' most important game of the season?
