Baltimore Ravens receiver Steve Smith just has a way with words.

The Ravens' offense didn't have its best showing in a 25-13 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, and the loss dropped Baltimore to 9-6 on the season. Although the team no longer controls its own destiny, it still has a chance of making the playoffs with a win and some help in Week 17.

After the poor offensive performance in a big game, some Ravens fans may be a bit critical of the team. Smith, per ESPN.com's Jamie Hensley, has a message for those fans:

"We expect and understand and anticipate all of the negative feedback and all of the fat, lazy, sorry couch quarterbacks are going to come out," Smith said. "We expect that and understand that. We're not going to pay attention to it."

All of the critical fans can say what they want. Smith has been around in this league long enough to know that it doesn't matter what anyone says about a team. The only thing that matters is how the team plays on the field. With some help, the Ravens could wind up in the playoffs and everything will be good in Baltimore.
