Did you know?

The Ravens have scored a combined six points in two games at New England. ... Baltimore has scored more points this season than any team in the AFC with 103. ... Patriots WR Randy Moss has a career-low 10.8 yard per catch average. ... New England has allowed just one sack this season.

If your a true Ravens fan, this is the type of game where calmness isn't going to come easy. I guess just look at it this way. Would you trust anyone else besides Harbaugh, Flacco, Lewis & others to get this done?

Well, Welker and Wilfork are both playing this week.

Well, I live in Connecticut and Foxboro isn't that far away. It's pretty sunny and good football weather where I am.

sweet, i was hoping it wasn't going to be that typical rainy patriots game like we had against them in 2006 i believe.

I have to work today so I'm going to miss this game . This will be 3 weeks in a row without catching a ravens game, hope they win, Go Ravens . Anyone else realize that the bandwagon is getting filled? I guess with the steelers not doing good and with the media pumpming up the ravens it was going to happen sooner or later.

[FlaccoFlicker]

30% chance of rain so it looks fair weather

question is, will he be playing for the defense or just on special teams

[FlaccoFlicker]

Mase is starting as there would be any question about it

[samic]

I am so pumped up. I'm glad that Wilfork and Welker are playing. No excuses now. Let's see what we can do. Go Ravens!!!

[Ravens52]

Gooden not playing? Damn..

Well, at least McClain gets a chance. Can't wait.

[capecodbuc]

Bucs fan here..living in the heart of Patriot country... almost unbearable, hope you guys take care of business today! Here's to a good game with the Ravens coming out on top and no injuries.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

the anticipation of this game is killing me

[theFRANCHISE]

With Tavares Gooden out (concussion/shoulder), Jameel McClain will make his first career start at MLB.

John Beck's designation as the emergency 3rd QB also means Troy Smith has recovered from his illness well enough to back up Joe Flacco today.

[FlaccoFlicker]

Mclain is a good LB maybe he shows the Pats just how good he is,just hope after game starts my confidence rises.

[STL Raven]

I'm starting to think that we're not going to win, and in dramatic last-minute fashion. Not melt-down fashion like 2007, but heartbreaking field goal to end the game fashion.

Talk me down, guys.

First off, we have Joe Flacco. Remember towards the end of that game? When we were in Pats territory? We could have put the game away but Boller tossed one up deep where there were no Ravens near the ball and it was intercepted by the Patriots. That turned the game around.

Joe Flacco won't make that bonehead mistake, you can quote me on that.

[FlaccoFlicker]

Our team needs to live by their play 60 minutes of football even if we build a big lead because we don't want the Pats sneaking back in on us.
